Dear friends,
A lot has been penned here, in favour, as well as otherwise. All r quite valid too, albeit case to case basis. What the initial poster (awarang) felt, is also felt by many professionals around the world, who have taken this plunge, or r into it. This mood swing is genuine for ppl who r well settled, elsewhere.
But, one thing is for sure, they had applied for PR (might be quite earlier, under different vocation circumstances) fully aware of the reasonning to do so. I am from UAE, well settled, have a great job, sufficient savings... but, have yet applied for Canada, why? As one of the posters here said sanguinely... for Citizanship. No matter what I do, How big I get, How satisfied I am... yet I'll never be able to become a citizen of UAE.
Ditto for many other countries too. Morover, opportunities in Canada are vast, if I am worth my salt, I'll do good there as well. Yes, I'll take some time, but I'll succeed eventually. I have known many who did settle well in Canada. And this same mind set was with 'awarang' also, when he initially applied. It's just that the process takes so long, that our fortunes do change substantially during the gestation period. Similarly, it can change again too, for the worst. Thus, once we have decided for moving out of our parent country and settle elsewhere, Canada is the best choice. Why? 'Coz much has been already posted in this thread for the good abt it.
And I can really settle here for the rest of my life, most other places I couldn't eacept for my home country.
I hope 'awarang' has got it, by now...
