Hi there Reach cash & ON

Jai Hind ...sas riakal.....!! aka the Indian way of salutation ;)

This post was never repeat never about immigration choices -it was not to carry on a discussion which has been discussed million times before that canada is bad - no no canada is good.

It was simply an effort to give a message to the people ALREADY there and struggling to establish themselves in a new society - a very simple one at that too- " dont give up - Life often tests you before giving yousomethinggood". Period. I believe theres nothing wrong in saying that ? One doesnt have to crucified for saying that - be called names - be told that is all "bhashan" - impractical - comeon people - are we so PESSIMMISTIC - that we have to eat up people :(

People who immigrate - i dont think are that gullible that ( some may be too) that they sell off everything and move to canada with a "basta & bori" - and then think "hai rabba yeh kaha aagaye hum....and the rest of the song ON pal yo uwill know this better...i aint so clued up on this movie stuff - no pun.

People - faorly educated ones - take time to get information on the new land - take for example VK or the guy with the post " i am not coming to canada" he made an effort - he got what he wanted to hear (lots of it !!)- and hes not coming.

I made it to this site didnt i ? So did a few other thousand people - look at the membership score rising everyday. Everyones a potential immigrant - and they are all trying to get information - They are all people with some amount of common sense :) They have read all postings on this site - which make it abundantly clear what to expect........even i do ....read the first few lines of my original post....i say it there clearly.

All of us - who are thinking of immigrating from Inida - do not have a blindfold over our eyes...neither were we injected with the Canada virus while applying - that every thing should be ticky ticky boo in canada. I SAY AGAIN YES IT HAS ITS PITFALLS. Agreed. Status loss - again agreed. But yaaar everyones disgusted - --par whos coming BACK??? Why arent they coming back ?? I am 31 years - i have got fed up with this - so have many others - we are moving - arent we - becos the things here are not seeming worth it - and then there are these people who ARE in CANADA - going through agony etc - bread & water only -- why not come back ?? India Vs Canada ? Here 2 lakhs was lessbut there bread & water suffice ?? why this low level of accepatbility ?? :) Moksha -- No i dont think so

You would may be say "hes not seen it - so he doesnt know " sudhar jayega - jab ayega - you may well be true. But even so it was a decision i took - whos to blame Sir ?

As regards not getting a good job - yocant get a same kind of job or job security - back " home" when you move from a state to another. In India yo uwere in a set lifestyle - and making your own money - and hell this place is so full of people that whos employed or not doesnt really bother the other guy. Peopel dying on streets and in dandiya dances dont bother us here- cos we only have our friend circle and relatives who were settled and thats what our awareness was upto. However everything being ok in your circle doesnt mean everythings great with thecountry -constables job goes for about 800000, what do i do with that guy - hes busy making his money back - and by the time he makes it up - hes got in to a habit which we cant break ! I have been to places where peopel kill cos theres no work - steal cable wires and sell - steal and sell electricity wires and when theres no electricity - theres more rioting - the politician says bandh karo - arey bhai kisko bandh karo ? chori ko ? Then the MP or politician has to be done away with - wheres the govt with the promoised jobs ?? an arrested youth once said - he stole to feed his family - and we had to book him for that - he sister ran away with someone cos she got food - parenst alone after his arrest - who would probably die of hunger when he left - and no one to bail. Thers nothing one can do - just watch - there are people waiting to be IAS and IPS to get into this boot ( allmight powerful and Godly) - to do what ? this. :( see a youth be arested - oh another time in a recruitemet rally a student in the MBBS course came to get into a sweepers job - cos he had to feed his mother - after his fathers death in a land dispute - i could only watch - what would you do - deny him and hope he makes doctor OR get him in to as a sweeper and watch him dust. Arey dada humne bhi thodi duniya dekhi he. :( when i say these - these are people who are willing to work - do an work - and they arent getting it. There you talk of a job of your choice. And yes i am in the govt - and youwould be surprise what i am. we will meet someday.

There you know of this unemployment and hardships and feel it evidently cos those people interact with you everyday on this forum - as you say their "trials & trivulations" :( and believe me everyone can read - what they say is abundantly clear - and its not very very positive - so let it be there - letthis guy whos coming make his own decision - and trust me - even if youwere to say that you have indian immigrant gobbling demons dancing on the streets - that wouldnt stop a person from going there - TILL he himself has some other thoughts (unsure) or was NOT serious about this from the very beginning . He would take all those"practical" advices as cement to build his or justify his decision. Some one whos spent most of his lives savings working on this project - i doubt he will heed yuor advice. Human nature - not your fault - and not his either - had he been able to overcome the temptation of "foren" - he would have been God. Someone once said " i can resist anythig except temptation"

So good friend - bura aur acha saath chalta hai - akele reh nahi sakte - this was justto say goodluck with life to people working hard there - thats all

Adios

Thanks for the thoughts

SF

SF,
You seem to be determined to come here. I hope you come here and make a success out of your relocation. I am confident that you will find it if you are determined to do so, no matter what.

All of us are a product of our experiences and environment. As such only future experiences and environment can probably change mindsets. If all the negatives on this board have not shaken you and you have decided to make the move. You WILL do well! That is the kind of person that can make it, probably anywhere, because at the end of the day the only thing you can truly have control over is yourself and your mindset.

I decided to come here 8 yrs ago(for all the same reasons you gave) and I do not regret it(including the tough times) one tiny weensy bit. There are plenty of desi success stories in Canada too, but not on this board. That is to be expected. Its easier to find the common man because they are...well... 'common'. Not everybody is always fortunate to be where they want to be. This is true anywhere in the world. What probably affects people most is that what used to work for them before, does not work in Canada(rightly or wrongly).

Imagine if the disgruntled/impoverished folk in India had Internet access(like most of them do here :)) and could voice their opinions on a forum. I'm sure the CD would sound like the most +ve place compared to the same.

Maybe you can do a search for the thread 'My Post Landing Experiences' started by Mishter India. All that you have said...has been said before. I hope you can continue being positive...not because its the 'right thing to do'...but because it is 'right for you'...as it is for me.
:cheers:
