Just because you are not, doesn't mean people aren't taking action..

Can-De,
I have gone back to India and hence I am justified with my comments about Canada.

Totally with you on that.... I actually find your comments which is kind of a good arguments and discussions with helpfull hints included
But you have to agree with me on, "Our Kids are loosing their grand parents love and affection" is one of the most stupid arguments being mentioned here...what ?? you just realised that after moving to Canada
Sweet god on pumpkin pie (Halloween is near !!), you have to be a real cranky person not to only think about such crap, but also to log in and write it down

Now after having come back to India I signed up with a shrink to cure my depression and simultaneously started looking for a job only to realize that the Indian economy is presently doing worse than the Canadian economy (in relative terms) and that I haven’t received even a single interview call in 2 months in Delhi.
I am now contemplating moving back to Canada leaving my wife and child behind and checking out the job market there. This time I am better prepared and willing to do survival jobs as well for some time. I am reasonably well funded and willing to a do a short term course as well if it improves my job prospects.
Any advice (both positive and negative) is highly appreciated from fellow desis on whether I should try out my luck in Canada or should stay in India.
Thanks,
PK Girpare,
You were(and are) being honest to yourself by recognizing and admitting that you had depression. However please be aware that the weather, loneliness and opportunities here in Canada can contribute to recurring bouts of depression.
I am sure you are aware of the importance of receiving support from family, friends and colleagues under such circumstances. If I were you I would factor them all into my decision to move back to Canada alone, however individual circumstances vary.
You have already been in Canada and are familiar with the way things work here. And you know how things work in India. So the decision to move is some thing only you are best positioned to make for yourself.
Regarding business/job opportunities, you can find them anywhere. US, Canada and India. You just have to be patient with your search for opportunities. I wouldn't make decisions based on short term business cycles. Tomorrow Canadian economy tanks and Indian economy picks up steam, or vice versa, will you keep moving back and forth?
Maybe this time around you may succeed. Canadian passport is definitely a plus and for some is worth the move here. Is it worth the move here for four years is something you will have to figure out for yourself. Food, water and air---no contest. Canada wins hands down.
Again, individual circumstances vary -- different strokes for different folks. Just tread carefully, that's what I would be inclined to do if I were in your shoes.
Also, don't fall for straw man arguments here on this forum engaged by some folks. If-you-don't-like-Canada-why-are-you-still-here or India-always-has-to-be-the-best-option kind of arguments. You will have to be ruthless and honest when it comes to self-interest.

I liked Elmer Fudd's reply. Everyone can post their views and no one has the right to tell folks to get out of here if they are not happy. It is for oneself to decide when to come and go. Nothing is free. If one has followed the immigration cycle, one has invested money (immigration fees and other landing/settlement expenses), time and age (very very expensive) etc. So it is a personal choice to tell their experience here. My only comment is that it should be relevant to the blog topic.
It's been over three years for me in Canada. Each has been over different time periods but this time I am planning to stay longer. How long only time will tell. Currently I am enjoying the food, air and less crowded streets of the Halifax in Atlantic Canada. My only complaint is the long time taken for experienced professionals to get jobs. I am employed but my spouse is not. She finally landed some volunteer work and completed it in her line of work (HR). Even that took over a year to get with repeated visits to the local Access employment site here. So it is more of a tortoise story around here unless you want to be the hare and fake some experience.
Excellent post by : Elmer Fudd
It simply summarizes the whole thing and makes sense every part of it.
After reading this post, I was wondering how much percentage of Indians return back home once for all.
