Stay or go back to Europe?

[atlavan]

Hi, this may be an odd thread but I am hoping to find some other opinions and experiences here.

I visited Canada many times before I came 2017 to study and since 2020 I have a PGWP. I applied for PR through the TR to PR program (no application number yet).

I am male, single, in my 40s, well educated (skilled worker) and have a permanent position.

It was always my dream to live in Canada. I love Canada! But recently I realized that I think more often about going back to Europe...

The two main reasons:

• no social contacts because of the Corona virus; it's hard to meet new people
  • no chance to meet people at work when you are "forced" to work from home
  • even when you can go to the office; people keep for themselves and others keep working from home
  • people in my age group have often families and therefore other priorities
• being in the limbo since 2020 thanks to IRCC (first PGWP and now PR)

All I want is to arrive somewhere but it's not working out for me.

But somehow I am not ready to give up my dream yet....

If you are in a similar situation, how do you cope with the situation?
Thanks!

PS. I live in a city but not within BC, ON or QC.

PS2. I also know that because of Corona, back home it's not that much better and after 5 years I also have to start over as well. I started a list and some other reasons to go back home are:

• at least I have family there
• better social security and public service
  • would earn at least twice as much back home (but I didn't come to Canada for the salary anyways)
  • would have twice as many weeks vacation
  • no waiting list for doctors and appointments
  • usable and working public transport
