A similar case with me:
Combined salary of my family (Wife and me): is close to INR 200k per month

We are very comfortable financially and are able to afford holidays, house rent and an above avg lifestyle without thinking twice

However, when i look at the lifestyle (clean air, safety, houses, cars) my friends have, I feel moving to Canada makes sense. If i was able to succeed in the cut-throat education and corporate culture in India, I think i can do well in Canada too.

My worry is my job code (1112). Financial world is crumbling in Canada and it may be a drag for me. However, I am optimistic about it.

Pls make sure if ur skill sets are currently required in Canada or not. Plus also check if you have enough support system back in India, just in case things don't work out.
hI ZANNY...have you landed yet??

if yes, how has been your experience in fianacial sector?

I am confused about my decision. Me & my wife both having Government Job in India, having Rs.80,000/- per month family income. Also have PR in Canada. We have 4 year old daughter. According to facts seen, that future in Canada secure for children. It’s really tough for me to choose the right one (INDIA or CANADA). Please suggest me expert advice, what is best for me &my family.
Right now, we both are 32 and have Bachelor’s Degree in Electronic & Electrical Engineering.

Brother same situation is with me....i am a uco bank assistant manager ( salary 50k ) and my wife is in state govt rural bank ( salary 30k ).
but when recently i got transferred to gujarat from my state uttarakhand, than i decided to be on loss of way and start working for canada...soon i will be submitting my express entry profile.....!!

Well this should be easy for me to translate as I currently work for the Canadian government so we can compare.

You currently make RS 80,000 per month working for the government. That's $1,500 per month in Canadian dollar. That's like minimum wage here.

I make RS 471,100.00 per month working for the government in Canada. That's $9,000 a month. I'm a manager though but you can workout from that, if it's worth it to move or not to secure a good future if you wish to continue to work for the government and get a placement in the Canadian government.
How to get a Govt. job in Canada ?
Is it easy to obtain ?

Even we are also on the same path. Me and my husband having jobs here in India. Our monthly income is about Rs. 1,20,000/-. We have a son of 3.5 years old.
We are thinking to migrate in canadian visa. little bit confused about the decision. This is damn sure that if we shifted there and our son will raise in that peaceful, unpolluted, lovely weather country, he will not come back to India again though we want.
He will be the canadian citizen by heart... will that be a good decision to shifted there or not? please guide...

Back to your original question.. id prefer canada.
If you have a good job there I suggest you stay put. Migrating to canada does not guarantee the same job / position. Again talking as a family oriented person, I gave up my career for Canada. Reason being is for the kids. I want them to have something else. Again its a personal decision. ;)

Or you could also argue that people with family should not risk their child and move abroad only to later fail. I think it is better for a single rich guy to migrate, because he will be able to afford waiting for the job to appear, and there is no risk of not being able to feed the child.

This is not an easy question. Assuming in both cases you have a decent-paying job in your home country, you could argue, you could provide better environment for the kids, but then you could fail big. Single persons with decent plan could fail and just go back to plan b at home.
personally - all that being said. Migration is one heck of a deal. I don't think failure should be an option. I was always told no matter how many times you fall, getting up is what counts.

You are looking for justifications to move not for a critical suggestion. Like I said above, I myself wouldn't move my family if there is a chance that I won't make it there. No point in access to good university if I work as a low level worker.
There is always a chance. It's more of seeing the glass half full than empty. Would you do it to benefit your kids?

India is much better. Stay in India guys. Unless you are the absolute best at what you do, you will not get job in your field and you will have to do odd jobs for long time. Just think about, most of the immigrants are highly skilled workers and you are going to compete against them, its a tough situation. If you have good job in India then stay there or alternatively get PR, come here for few months and if it doesn't work out then just go back to India.

What a lame response this is.


For the starters, most people are making in a range of 60-80k in Canada. That's the truth. A 100k annual salary is considered rather attractive in Canada.


I moved to Toronto from US as an intra-company transfer. My salary reduced by 30% because that's the scale in Canada and still when I told people what I am making (132k base pay, 175k overall), they thought I must be a director or something. I was working for one of the top MNC’s as a Sales Engineer.


Additionally, half of your earnings is gone in taxes. The more you make, the more tax you pay. It varies from 42% to 50% from province to province.


So, if your annual pay is 100k, you're only effectively earning 58k which is less than 5k CAD (not 9k) a month (2.5 lacs INR)


On top of that, a barely decent 2 bedroom apartment in a decent neighborhood will cost you 1800-2200 CAD a month, that's how much? About 1 lakh INR a month. You will pay only 25% of that in Bangalore, which is one of the most expensive cities in India.


Car insurance will cost you about 300 CAD a month.


The truth is, you have to be a frugal person and live within your means in Canada. People are only getting by in Canada, not really getting ahead (one of their popular opposing party slogans). And you will rarely find a single person running the family here, while it's common in India. Both partners have to work to make ends meet, and you don't have any support structure here to raise your children.


DO NOT think that you can save a lot more money by moving from India to Canada. It’s NOT going to happen. This is a socialist country and the system is not designed for people to collect wealth quickly. People do not work as hard as they do in US or India because even if they did, they would not get paid more.


So, money should not be a reason for you to move to Canada.


There are however other very pressing reasons why you might want to live in Canada instead.


Canada is stunningly beautiful. It could easily be among 5 prettiest countries in the world.


Canadians are nice people, not all of them though. It’s safe and clean here. I get nightmares about taking my child to New Delhi especially thinking about pollution and crime.


There’s no shortage of water in Canada. Migration programs are family friendly. If you can get used to the cold here, which takes time (right now the warmest place in Canada is 5 degrees Celsius) since it’s a 6 month long winter here, you can enjoy a healthy, safe and peaceful life up here.


System is not corrupt, if you fall ill, they will take care of you and never tell you how much it cost to save your life. If you lose your job they will give you money to survive. Your tax money is actually used for good cause. Your children get good quality school education without associated cost.

Even then, I think one can lead a much more socially active and fulfilling life in India if one makes decent money and choices. There has to be some pressing reasons for one to move from India to Canada after the age of 30-32.


For me, the experience of living in a northern country itself is priceless. I hope to keep moving north until it’s time for the south and then east.

d_carlos makes an excellent series of points. It is very much worth considering things beyond the financial - the type of society you want to live in and the things you will gain even while the short-term financial situation might be a difficult transition. Particularly if you have a daughter and are contemplating bringing her up in India, one of the world's worst countries to be a girl and woman, leading the way in institutionalized gender discrimination, sexual harrassment and assault, and in general the systemic degrading of female people. Your sacrifices aside, what society do you want her to grow up in?

Hi Guys,

Need your suggestion for the situation I am in. I am 30 years old male having a Govt. job in India earning around 40k p.m and unmarried. Have more than 10 years of experience and even worked in UK for a year or so. Took a drastic pay cut for the govt. job. Now, I am really dissatisfied with the job and want to move out of the country. I am thinking of pursuing Btech - TM from NAIT or any other two year diploma. Do u think it would be worth the effort?Or I am giving up too much and its too late?

Please advise.
