From what I have heard so far........Indian healthcare seems better than first-world healthcare? Provided you aren't poor, of course. A middle-class person would have better healthcare access than a middle-class man or even a rich person in a first-world country.

There are two aspects of health care: Quality of Care and Availability of Care.

In terms of quality of care, Canada beats India hands down. In some really complicated cases, the quality of care that is available here is simply not seen in India. One of my friend had a very peculiar disease called HoCM. Its thickening of heart muscles due to genetic reasons. Typical solution for this is actually inducing a small heart attack in heart using alcohol injection -- a process called as alcohol ablution. Trouble is, this process does not have a very fine control over what portions of muscle will be damaged. Till very late, in India he had only this option. Its an elective procedure.

When he moved to Canada, he had a fainting episode at home. He consulted doctor here and they introduced him to a cardiologist (after almost an year) in Vancouver who has perfected a surgical procedure excise away the extra growth of muscle. His secret sauce? He found a way to very safely stop the heart and the restart it. That allows a very precise cutting of the muscle.His operation is a success and he was dischared 2 days later. He is doing totally fine now and lately we went hiking on grouse mountain -- something unimaginable for him just 3 years back.

This is simply not possible in India. They don't have it. And icing on the cake? His expenses for health care were ZERO, nominally speaking.

There is another major major aspect of health care. It called availability. In my opinion it is more important. Most of us do not suffer from such peculiar ailments most of the time. Infact most of us require long term care for chronic conditions or timely care for occasional issues. There Canada sucks worse than a hoover and India beats it hands down. I see day in and day out people who have broken hip joint, dislocated shoulder etc etc who need an immediate attention from a doctor but doctor is simply not there. Thats where Canada has been failing and these days, its beyond failing.

You can get emergency care pretty fast in Canada, within minutes. All you have to do is yell at the triage nurse that you are being discriminated against for being an immigrant. That will get things rolling.

You don't seem to understand how messed up the situation is in BC. You will call 911. The ambulance will not arrive for many hours or some times days at times these days.

What if the nurse is brown too? How can I use the race card then?

This is why I think demography-based immigration is important. You can't play the race card if everyone is the same race as you. @ElvisRamaj was right.

So you're telling me that as a black man, I can not play the race card with the brown nurse, I'll have to rethink this moving process....

When are you making the move to the promised land? And which province?

Hmm everytime I call 911 the ambulance arrives in 15 mins.

Hi everyone,
Someone I know is mentally being tortured by her relatives as she was living with them when she had moved to Canada, and that's her dispatch address. But she'd be moving out soon. So, please let me know how can the PR card reach her so that the family doesn't destroy the document? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Call IRCC to update the delivery address, this is the quickest option.

After reading the discussion over the past few days in this thread, I was asking this question to myself.

After my "brief" visit to Canada, I came to the conclusion that Canada has something for everyone. You can find a place as per your liking, as long as you know what you want.

Having a CRS score of 481, what are my chances of receiving an ITA by the end of this year (ielts expiring in December)?

None.

None.

Thanks for your reply. Let me put it this way… When can I expect to receive an ITA?

Several factors determine that. IRCC should continue with same trend of gradually increasing (by 250) invites. Very few 500+ plus should get added to the pool. You run the numbers from last draw and you will know when you will get the invite. If IRCC changes to NOC based draws (which they will soon), you will get the invite if your profession is in demand.

There are several ways to engage people on your social media pages. But people like Kubeir Kamala do it by instilling fear. This story should not surprise anyone as the adults mentioned in the article did not do their research before moving to Canada. How on earth you need someone else's help in filling out job application after having lived in Canada for years.

Ma man Saif tells what's in my mind.

True. Though it greatly benefitted me, there is not much correlation between CRS score and employability. NOC based draws will fix it to a certain extent but letting employers be a part of the process would be the most significant step. This should include encouraging employers to hire from outside Canada without drowning them in red tape.

I can relate. My doctors couldn't treat my minor fracture on time (lack of appointment availabilities, ridiculous ER cost, and stupid paperwork) even though I work in an Medical Center with a top notch healthcare. I booked my flight tickets to India, stayed there for two weeks and got treated and came back. The treatment costed less than $100 and tickets costed $900 something. Oh, this was in US.

Bro, which state are you in? I got spoiled by Seattle's excellent medicare services. Never had to wait for more than a couple of weeks for an appointment - general or specialist.
