By the way, I came to Vancouver last month and did everything you mentioned in your list, except for the plane thing.

I visited Toronto for 20 days (also completed my PR formalities there, hence the extra days), Vancouver for 6 days, and Calgary for 5 days.

Loved Vancouver (a good place to visit), liked Calgary (a good place to live) and disliked Toronto (especially Brampton).

Thank you so much for that detailed post you wrote.

Now that I am back in India, I have a whole new appreciation for my life here. Things that bothered me earlier about this place don't bother me so much now. Visiting Canada made me realize that I will only be staying there for 3 years to get my citizenship. After that, I will either try to move to the US or go back to India. I sure as hell won't be investing in their inflated real estate.
You visited 3 cities and now you are cancelling Canada? Come on man :D.

Quick question. A friend of mine knows a guy living in canada as a pr, both their fathers have the same exact name and incidentally have the same dob and were born in the same city (coinkydinky?). Mothers passed away. Can he claim sibling points? How does ircc check sibling relationship?
This is not your best work Navin. You are slacking. You can do better than this man. Try again.

You haven't seen muffin my dear!

It gets better!

People take out ads in news paper to get a simple appointment with a doctor so they can renew their prescription. YEAH! (https://www.timescolonist.com/local-news/central-saanich-couple-without-a-family-doctor-turn-to-newspaper-ad-to-get-prescriptions-filled-5651845)

There is a waiting list of 1-2 months for an doctor's appointment for those who have broken their wrist or something.

I mean EVEN back home, in India, a doctor was always a phone call away!

Trust me, immigrations is just the beginning of frustration with this country. Had India not having such a messed up heat wave and pollution situation, I would have seriously left this country.


10 million dollars for a house. 2 months for a doctors appointment.


OOOOOh Canada!
Canadian Healthcare is a myth m9

Great! I also plan to do something similar. I have additional considerations but it makes sense. Why live a 3rd world life and pay first world prices.

PS: sorry for missing your messages. I was offline for sometime.

Care to elaborate on your verdicts and reasons? I'm genuinely curious.

For me, after being here for 2 months, the biggest negatives for Canada (compared to the US) are

1) poor infrastructure (roads are not great, 1 major nation-wide internet outage, 1 major city-wide power outage during my time here)

2) poor quality of service by govt/big institutions (IRCC, Service Canada, banks, telecoms)

3) inadequate healthcare services (wait times mainly)

4) insane real estate prices to income ratio.

Granted, I was aware of a few of these prior to moving here; but anyway I'm not sure if these are enough to make me turn my back.

If a person really have problems with property prices, expenses and job opportunities after migrating, the problem is with person itself, should have done enough research about this in first place or alongside your immigration journey. Property prices are high? yes they are! Healthcare is bad? Yes it is. How long it takes for one to research average home price in a city? or healthcare situation? 5 minutes for me, 60 minutes for some.
Its not a question of things are bad.. its more a question of things do not need to be bad. They are bad for literally no reason.
