    I can relate to so many things shared on this video. I live in the UK. I hate to drop my kid to his public school exactly for the same reasons the guest mentioned. Koi bhi aera gera aagaya hai and they call themselves democratic country. I too worked relocated to UK from Singapore. Western countries are hype. I loved every bit about sg.

    Literally the only things most Indian cities have to do to come upto speed with Canada is for people to be more patient and accommodating while driving, clean up the streets and the air pollution. Corruption and other political/communal issues are everywhere. I think tier 2 cities like Nashik fit the bill. ,

      The quality and quantity of job opportunities is another concern in India. Just relying on IT and few service sectors will not help

      @@sridharv3903 haven't been researching extensively but it appears a lot of global manufacturing is moving to India. But I agree, IT has been the darling of the job market (throughout the the world) but gradually we are seeing large numbers of layoffs. With the large scale adoption of AI especially in tech, it will be interesting to see how many of these laid off workers will be able to secure employment.

    Avinash I have to give you kudos on your patience. It was very difficult to hear this gentleman’s incoherent rant about Canada which he knows barely much about. Although I agree with a lot of his points but when he said he doesn’t want his kids to mingle with other cultures, it’s a horrible thing to say. Some of us actually love that about living abroad or even in India. You did a great job in staying calm but please edit some of these things out lol

    I have a question. Im not able to understand what triggered the reason to leave Canada except that he couldn't buy a home and excessive immigration. He moved based on companys internal transfer and came back at the end of contract. For people who have a PR status or m9ved as a student these decisions are not easy and 9ne needsto recover investment and also save a big sum for that move back plan because cost of living is up in India too.

      @user-cw7vu3xk1s I agree with your points which are valid. My question is for this specific person's case where the individual was in Canada on a temporary work visa. What were the key motivations or compelling reasons prompting decision to return? It cannot be just high cost of living and taxes, which a majority in Canada faces.

      ​@@sridharv3903I am the guest in the video. I am a Canada Permanent Resident, was not on temporary work permit.
      I left Canada off my own volition.
      Problems faced in Canada:
      1. Extreme cold weather confining me indoors for 8-9 mobths every year. Six months of snow. Limited outdoor life for kids.
      2. Cold economy. Less good jobs. Hiring is difficult, hiring is easier.
      3. Extremely expensive. In currenf times, most countries are too expensive.
      4. Unaffordable housing.
      5. Zero savings on a salary of CAD 10,000 per month. And it is not easy to get a job that pays that much salary.
      6. Poor health care.
      7. Long way away from India, and flights are expensive.
      8. Some people, esp in licenced professions, like my wife who is an architect, need to rethink about their job prospects as their credentials may not be recognised.
      9. No money to support children's co-curricular activities.
      10. Depression and stress because of the above.

      Shitty infrastructure, shitty health care, shitty housing, shitty education, shitty weather, shitty social life, crazy expensive and you wonder why he wanted to move out?
      M in the same boat. Stuck over here in Canada but dreaming of the day when I can get out of this mess.

      Oh really
      Real estate is expensive in cities where people want to live and work. You can find cheaper homes in Saskatchewan,Winnipeg but there’s no jobs then.
      It’s same in India, don’t paint a fake picture just to prove Canada is bad.
