I wonder if there is data available on what percentage of a state's population are NRIs or permanently settled abroad.

Yeah, and its going to get worse and worse as oil demand does not recover or cross into triple digits. Qatar and Saudi Arabia aren't too far behind for expats. The 2000s to mid 2010s boom is over. But it must be said that barring Dubai, life is still affordable, much more affordable in GCC...

To attract people like me who (used to) think we can at least come to Canada to retire after we are unceremoniously kicked out of GCC or having a Canadian Passport will ensure we get paid much higher than Asian Passport for similar positions or we are too broke/cheap to pay the exorbitant...

You underestimate how busy he is despite the lack of draws...or maybe how stupid or out of time or perhaps both new immigrants are. He is selling LMIAs now too I think, but not sure.

Back to family business for now. Will retreat and decide what to do over the next 3-6 months. But holy cow, it feels like a weight lifted off the shoulders. I didn't realise how stressful daily life got for me even though everything was seemingly okay.

finally left Canada after completing 400 days. For good or not, I don't know, but already feeling much much better because I am not under the constant stress of making ends meet. I thought Indian government was the most corrupt and incompetent in the world, I was really wrong, Canada may not be...

@GandiBaat this one is for you LOL Procurement watchdog finds 76 per cent of listed ArriveCan subcontractors did no work Massive, massive amounts of government corruption (as always) involved here. So this is a trend I have noticed in Canada, or maybe this is how it is worldwide and Canadian...

Strong rumours that let to a statement by Queen's University that it does not face financial insolvency. This is a respectable university, I wonder what's happening with Western and other good ones. I don't believe Queen's depends on international students but I could be wrong. Edit: oops never...

LOL I knew this the very second I read the whole thing. Universities that have prepared for this: YorkU with a brand spanking new campus in Markham, University of Windsor, TrentU, UCW, to some extent Dalhousie, Algoma, Brock, Laurentian, etc etc. Dust has effectively been moved, and btw no...

Canada is heavily involved in old world politics btw. It actively and militarily supports one of the two parties directly and through NATO. Wish it didn't take sides, of neither party, but its got its finger in the region whether you like it or not.

Personally know 2 such people, one let his PR expire. Organic interest in TFW migration has decreased substantially too, know someone who has the study permit and deferred his arrival twice now. Everyone I know here knows someone like that.

Hamas, in their own book published about Oct 7 make it clear: Their fight is against a zionist occupation, not the Jewish Religion or the Jewish people. Do you think Pro-Palestine supporters did not get harassed by orgs like AIPAC? A Canadian Doctor of Uni of Ottawa was furloughed because he...

And how in the world were you able to equate a protest for freedom, for rights, for not to be genocided to nazi propaganda and anti-semitism? I am not schooling you but Palestinian people are semites too. Do some impartial research on your own about the matter, and the blindfold put on you...

Listen, you are right. These students try to cover their cost by working part time.....which is as per plan of the Government of Canada. The expectation on paper is correct, you should have enough money to support yourself, but even the every day Canadians know what the true cost of living in...

Come May, you will also see a spike in number of TFWs' work permits expiring. Many plan to use their visitor visa for 6 more months of stay but that will be it for them. Price of fake LMIAs is already going up in the market. Rents are very slowly dipping in Toronto and anecdotally I feel have...

I watched a documentary about how the the general public in western countries moved from a collective identity to an individualistic one progressively from baby boomer to gen z era. And how it has cost the society at large to be divided and exploited by the greedy corps here. I am not an expert...

This is not just a documentary, its a horror movie if I can even call it that. I watched the second half of part 2 in utter disbelief. Just horrific what the poor employees had to put up with, especially those that stuck to the end. What a royal betrayal. What's even more horrific is that...

Genuinely sorry and saddened to hear this. Please name the airline, I will definitely keep my family away from them.

Well, when I first landed here, in the initial months, I came across all the problems about Indians that you describe here. My reaction was similar to yours, a self-contemplation of where the hell have I come coz these are the very things I was running away from. But as I learned more and...

Canada a "safe zone" for Transnational Crime and Foreign Interference network Just one snippet from the article: Saw this on reddit today. And some people here have greater hate for Indians dancing or meeting up on the streets smh lol
