Move to Canada or not? -- HELP PLEASE!

[Candia]

Dear Forum Members,

I am in mid-30s, and have lived and worked abroad for long. I applied for Canadian immigration from USA a couple of years back and got it within 1 year. I am originally from India and have over 10 year exp. in research/consulting. Am currently working in a good position in India, drawing a decent package by Indian standards [not Western]. Should I make a move to Canada or stay put? I do miss the good standard of living I enjoyed in USA.

I have been to Canada a few times and the job market is pretty depressing. Should I go back to university for a second masters and try to see if I can get a better job in Canada? I have tried the regular way with my U.S. degree, but basically no one gives a cr*p about non-Canadian degrees in Canada or without relevant Canadian exp. to show on the resume.

Look forward to suggestions from all of you, especially those who have made it big after a fairly good struggle.

Hi friend,
Your question is hard to be answered by another person, but i will give you my own opinion only, you are the one to make the final decision.

Yes, it is not good. I am here and i am earning less than what i was earning in Europe, bills and the stress also. The ONLY thin keeping me here is my daughter who is very young and she is in school. If not i will return to my previous country of residence.

I have to change my field completely, because there are some jobs you can not land them without prior Canadian experience. So i tried to no avail and decided to take a course to change my field. others do get it without any problems and they can start working right away upon landing. Luck sometimes counts also.

Ihink about it carefully before making a move. I have a friend who came signed it and have an address went back him started applying for jobs from home so he can return and applied after many months without success and decided to settle him home, and he is doing fine back home. He is building his own house at the moment and he told my friend that he is happy he did not move.

All in all you have the yam and knife to cut the quantity you want.

Hope it helps.

This is a strange question, rather like asking us if you should marry a woman we've never met. The answer is the same: if you want to.

If you are living a peaceful (good money to meet Indian standards) life in India then do not bug yourself getting into REDISCOVERING process again, means educating, job hunting etc. provided you are not a passport-hungry fellow (like many in India or Pakistan).

If you are looking for Canadian passport or to call yourself a NRI...then Canada is a good place to rediscover yourself; education, job hunting....but during this period your native friends or fellows will beat you in career race while remain in India.

Choice is Yours!
