From a woman who moved to Canada a decade ago and living very comfortably, word of advice - DON’T! Not at this time! I don’t regret moving here at all but I know many who do. Some whine and stay, some leave.

1) Western governments are all cracking down on folks who immigrated using fake documents and studied in diploma mills. This is affecting folks who immigrated legally as well.

2) Jobs are scarce. It is extremely difficult to find jobs. I know too many people with good work experience under their belt who have been struggling to even get interview calls for the past 2 years. To add to this, job losses. Folks who have Canadian and US experience are also finding it difficult to find jobs. Folks educated in the US who have been living there for years are moving back because of the shift to hire local - they’re worried when they will be deported even though they migrated legally. Nothing is guaranteed.

3) Life is expensive abroad. If you are not from a financially well off family, you won’t be able to buy a house/ live comfortably in the near future. At this time, you need a financial push from back home or your savings to buy a house here. Salaries have not kept up with inflation. Prices of real estate, food, car et al have gone up like crazy. Eating out like we do in Kerala is not an option at all. This is the only thing I miss about Kerala and the only reason I would take a vacation to Kerala.

4) Individualistic lifestyle. If you are someone who never left Kerala, you will miss home and friends like crazy. People here most often don’t have much time on their hands to chill with others very often. Especially if you have kids, your days fly by picking up and dropping your kids off for sports/music/dance/study stuff.

Loneliness you feel here cannot be put into words. I felt it too when I moved here for studies. Even though I felt more at home in Canada than I did in Kerala, life here was lonely - especially if you’re living in a not so happening city. To add to it, the many deficiencies (esp Vit D) make you lose any hope you have and drive you crazy. The sun is not shining bright majority of the year - will affect your mood big time.

5) Don’t move abroad if you don’t want to assimilate into the culture of whichever country you are moving to. The reason Punjabis have a bad rep in Canada is because they live the same filthy life they lived in their villages and it’s unacceptable in this country. They stick around with their own kind and never learn anything new or unlearn bad habits they picked up growing up in their village. Every culture has its own good and bad traits. Keep the good, leave the bad ones and be open to learning good traits from other cultures.

6) Healthcare - It’s pretty bad in Canada now. It wasn’t always like this. Majority of the people don’t have a family doctor. Even though I have one, my husband and I still consult a doctor in Kerala to get prescription and find equivalent meds here. If you go to a doc, they won’t prescribe you anything unless you are dying. That’s just so frustrating because a simple thing like flu and get bad real fast and people get sick quite often- it takes away months from your life every year.

7) There are rules and laws for everything. You have to be a law abiding citizen. One can’t pay someone under the table to get things done quickly or approved.

8) Technology feels outdated here. Advancements are faster paced in India than here. Banking industry really needs to do better - it feels like I’m living in the ice ages or something every time I have to deal with money stuff.

About time we come face to face with the fact ki desh humara gareeb hai. The most these snatchers (who look like kids) will do is sell these things in hopes of getting two square meals.

Well I'll blame the biker here

Amen.

I didn't wanna saddle my parents with debt. I was accepted into a prestigious international program but it's a non English majority country, so part time isn't an option. Ie, I have to get a 60lakh loan.

As for now, they have enough to have a comfortable retired life. I couldn't help but worry what if I have an accident or something and my parents became destitute. So, I'm focusing on my career to get into a position so that I can get the required loan on my own guarantee.

Hopefully that happens within the next 5 years. I wanna retire here though.

is this that youtuber who won election in EU ?

Baboru tried gaining popularity with Amaravati concept but utterly failed to do considerable visible construction for all the area procured. All he can claim is arrival of KIA to our state and nothing significant apart from that.
Jagan on the other hand went egoistic and did neither Amaravati nor his 3 capital thing. On the plus side dude went full on welfare and tried to take advantage of coast line and vested more into his mini govt bodies and med colleges. Gotta see how CBN plays out for this term.
Overall a big dent to state economy from both of them.
