Hi Rupeshhari,rupeshhari said:Charninder,
I take a somewhat different view (but perhaps you are saying the same thing). People move to another country because there is greater utility in that for them. That utility can be comprised of better opportunity for them or their family, safety, quicker path to citizenship, etc. Why are some people willing to take up "lower" job (by lower, i mean a job that you don't want). Its only because the expected gain in utility from Canada is higher than than what they have in their current country.
Someone like raindrop doesn't need to take that "lower" job because his utility in his current country is greater than the expected utility from Canada. Its as simple as that. He is, for certain, living in a pretty decent country already so I am sure he doesn't want to take that hit in his life where he might have to take a "lower" job. Why am I thinking of moving to Canada? Only because I want to live in a different country but if the drop in job is too great, i'd rather stay in the US because the excitement of a new country might not compensate for the drop in job.
Take someone from DRC. Why would they move to canada for a greater drop in job? Its because the utility they get from safety cannot be compared to the disutility from a drop in job.
So ultimately what I am trying to say (perhaps you are saying the same thing) is that everyone has to look at their utility. So not moving to Canada because you don't want a drop in job in quite understandable because in his situation (specifically raindrop here), he is living in a pretty okay country.
