SSA to all,

I am moving to Canada next month and have few queries which I believe only Punjabi's can relate to and help me.

does wearing a kada or carrying a baaj/silai with you creates an issue during security checks? Please help.

if yes. what are the alternatives of carrying them along?

Hi

You have to remove all metals from your skin while security check in and can wear kada after that , though not sure about baaj ... If they allow or not.

I hope it helps .. But in short nothing is worry , keep extra baaj /Silat in your check in baggagez


Have a great life ahead

Thank you Naavy bai ji :D :D

Australia te Canada donno hee theek ne. Australia paisa vaadiya but Canada family life lai theek aa. Ainne saalan baad hunn jee nahi laggda ainna countries vicch. India jaa ke migration da kamm karran baare socch reha.

Harry paaji , ek gal dasso , mainu Aus di aur Canada di , dona di PR mil gayi hai , par hun main confuse haan ki kithe settle honwa, we are family of four .

Tussi ki advise kar de ho since twanu dono da experience hai
 
Countries donno vaadiya ne,

Australia kamm kaar lai theek aa. Paise vaadiya bann jaande as compared to Canada. Weather baare ta dassna hee ki aa, saare changi tarah jaande hee ne(Australia wins easily).

Australia vicch jobs apne field vicch millan de zayada chances ne as overseas qualifications are more readily accepted here.

Public transport is much better in Australia and a person can survive without a car but a Car seems like a must in Canada. Road system Canada da vaadiya hai, Canadian highways are much better as compared to Australian highways.

Family life Canada di vaadiya hai because of significant presence of our people/community and it feels like as if we have some say in Canadian affairs. Australia zayada white wash country hai and apne lokk ainne settled nahi haige. Housing is cheap in Canada and house prices in Australia are one of the highest in the world.

Message kardiyo je kucch horr information chahidi hove.

gal oh nai Canada de vich loki kaafi use to nay immigrants toh . Dono countries harr paaseo bohot different . Punjabi community shyad Canada ch jyada hai but aaj kal ta Australia ch v eda hi ho reha hai . Ik hor cheez k India toh menu lagda hai Australia jyada convenient hai if your are frequent traveler to India bcz of direct flights from Sydney , Melbourne .
 
Loki Canada gaddian challaun layi nahi nasde, Canada,US,UK jaana ik bhed chal hai. Apne lokkan lai kuch hee countries dimaag vicch aundia ne je appan bahar da naam le layiye. Mainu 10 saal hoge Australia vicch te ajj takk kisse ne "Racist" act nahi kitta. Pehlan Australia vicch lok ainne used to nahi si with Indian culture and our mindset, which is offcourse different then the mainstream. Not to say, apne lok harkatan hee aidda diyan karde ke Gore or say Aussies nu oho cheeza ajeeb lagdiyan ne. Assi kok ainna countries nu adopt karde aa, so we should try to assimilate with the mainstream but we go the opposite way.

@Rendezvous bai ji, Level of education is same in both Australia and Canada.

You have to show funds during your first landing . Dependents dont need to show anything when they arrive after you .

Harry Pahji ,

Eh vekho Aus vich racism di wardaat. Link check karo

Rendezvous Bai Ji, please stay away from generalization, we the people from Indian subcontinent are really good at it. How do you know that the incident is "Racially" motivated ?. Police and other authorities are still trying to find out the reasons behind the incident and you have declared it as "Racism di wardaat". I live close to this restaurant "Billu's eatary" and do you have any ideas how this guy has sucked up peoples blood by underpaying them and this is not the only business the owner has.

Honestly if you want me to start picking up isolated incidents like these, i can come up with things happening in Canada or India everyday and term them as "Racism". I being an Indian and a Punjabi can very well say that we the Indians are one of the biggest Racists, the way we practice Racism is not hidden from anyone.
