Drop the idea of Canada.

[ayazf]

Dear...who says that going to canada is to get the decent job and handsome earnings. I do not think that any mature person will consider canada this way...agreed about the hardship one has to face and long struggle but....

Its above earnings...

Even we got our PR for canada and in May 2012 we will complete 3 yrs after our landing.....we made the decision not to migrate after seeing the hardships the expats are facing in canada.....no money, no time and all are working day and night to pay off the loans....why struggle so much while we have in the gulf a tax free salary, maid to do all the household chores and finally we can able to save money too....people well settled in the gulf and having decent jobs have no meaning in going to canada and starting all over again without even a decent job.....

It really frustates to read in this forum again and again that qualified people are struggling to find a job. Why do they call us based on the education and qualification when the same is not recognised in their country.

Its a very difficult discision to leave well settled life in middle east and go to canada without having a job and spend your savings.

No one 'calls' us... it's a 'voluntary' decision!

Dear All

After lot of deliberation and thought and weighing all pros and cons I think Canada is not the place what it is projected to be I'm planning drop the idea.

I am settled in a decent job here in Dubai and the idea of leaving the same and going into an unventured territory where everything is uncertain seems quite risky.

My reasons for thinking about Canada in the first place were good quality of life and avoiding things that I didnt like in my home country India that is insensitivity of govt towards its people.

Quality of life I think in Canada is good but to avail that one has to have enough money and social standing which i understand by reading the posts in this forum that the same is not very common with imigrants.
As for the insensitivity I think the govt of Canada too is insensitive to an extent to the problems of immigrants.

Whatever it is -this is what I think.Donno where things are headed for and whether I wasted all this time energy and money to chase a futile dream.

Feel lost and donno what to do..

1st the decision is yours however you have touched many good points
"we are just presenting our own experiences"

2nd I had the same chance to be frank more than sometimes I regret that I left my chance of a job in dubai so think it very throughly... jobs in UAE are more secure and won't burn you alive...it is very fierce in Canada...and networking is more important than your skills

3rd I have lived in US and I liked the US...I thought Canada is almost the same like the US however it is not... and as you have said "in my words" Canadian government not only does not care about immigrants but it cares less about its citizens.

4th when Bush was asked about the American deficit and economic problems he said we'll take over Canada although this was a joke but in many sense it is true. The current government spent huge on airplane defense contract and that was a primary reason for the last election...

5th I think this point might help you a lot...if you are a worker NOT a professional most likely you will find a job in Canada however if you are highly educated with many graduate degrees it is very difficult to find a job in your field...I have seen it all

6th Canada unfortunately is NOT again (I repeat ) is NOT US and it does not pursue any advanced scientific programs...if a successful program started in Canada it is bound to get sold to US...some might keep their jobs while others might change

Every individual makes his or her own destiny. It is just how you perceive life.. Whether to see the glass half full or half empty, is all definitely up to you.

I don't know about you, but I am not even upset with your opinion.

God Bless on your endeavours..

Plain and Simple

I wouldnt come to Canada if I had a decent job in UAE, Qatar, Kuwait.
Life is much soothing in those countries.

best and well presented post ever by qorax .

Canada is not for highly qualified people, so sit back where you are if you have the comforts and good job.

U have to work your way UP in Canada......

And well ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE..

 

[jnathan]

nicholas30,

many people think they are highly qualified but are they indeed qualified enough to give something to a country like Canada where research and skill is everything? Canada needs skilled people who know how things work in a practical way.
