Thank you for your honesty :) I moved to Toronto as PR last year, I have been working in one of the major corporations here but I will be moving back to Mumbai next year. This has been a very conscious decision...I'm feeling happy that I accomplished my PR dream - I gave Canada a shot for a year but I voluntarily choose to live my original life & lifestyle back home. There should be no regrets/guilt for anyone planning to move back to their home country, its your home afterall and you should be able to move whenever you want. Alternatively, nobody should be raising eyebrows at folks who have chosen to stay in Canada. We all have different paths in this lifetime, all that matters is living happily wherever you want without having a stubborn negative opinion about that country, as all countries have their positive & negative points. Life is a box of experiences anyway... :)
Lived, worked, studied in all these countries - UK, Australia, US and Canada. If you are a highly educated tech professional, US is the best country in the world. You can get better career opportunities in US on H-1B employment visa than being a Canadian citizen in Canada. Rather than doing odd jobs, driving uber in Canada better spend whole life on H-1B visa in US. Moved to Canada 2 years back. At this point, not even sure if I want to wait for another 1.5 years for Canadian passport.
Kubeir, you are absolutely wonderful and logical in all your analysis. How we wish the IRCC takes inputs from aware and logical guys like you and improve the immigration process for the candidates and the Canadian economy. A big salute to you Sir. Keep up the good work. You are doing yeoman service to all those affected by Canadian immigration policies and processes.
Canada is a terrible choice if you are in tech. If you are software engineer, embedded engineer or similar occupation, you might do fine. I have met many other automative/mechanical/aerospace engineer who are doing side hustles to make end meet in Canada. I have realized Canada is nothing but an immigration scam - it is only good for refugees or mostly blue collar workers who don't get high pay or value job in India. This country runs on money of immigration, black money from developing world poured in real estate, rich Chinese/HK investing to save their money from CCP and selling oil/minerals. I am living in Canada and before moving to Canada I always felt, I should have gone to study in Canada instead of US. But I am glad I did not make that mistake, and received quality education, experience and memories from US. Last week ran into an uber driver who was a mechanical engineer and doing side hustles in Canada for last 4 years as he couldn't get job in his domain. He told he could land a job in Canada but became Canadian citizen few weeks back and already landed his field job in US. So he was moving to US on TN Visa. He is non India, so can get green card in no time.
Canada is overrated. Living here is very expensive, renting is terrible, owning a house is a dream even if you make $100k a year, and tax is unbelievable
I am earning a good salary in Dubai. I am 34 years old and I got my approval. But i won't be coming to Canada as the hassle is too much and things have really improved lifestyle wise in GCC and back in our native countries. You can live a more comfortable lifestyle then struggling in Canada.
After obtaining a Ph.d in Chemical Enginerring from Dalhousie University, in Halifax, i could never get a job ( related to my field) in Canada. Only USA and Middle East accepted me with FOREIGN CREDENTIALS.
He spoke the truth of canadian life right now as a good human being not like a Businessman.. As an immigrant we are facing these situations but people living in different countries thinks conditions are different..
It is better to suffer with an expectation that it will get better than to suffer knowing it will always get worse. That is the difference of struggling in Canada and struggling in many other places.
Mere friend ke uncle ne ek formula kaha tha, wo khud as a CFO kaam kar rahe the badi company mein 14 saal pehle ki baat hai, wo canada shift hue the unke experience se bataya tha. First 1000 days live your life as a poor, then you can start spending on things you want.
I feel law is too soft in canada and criminals are having a good time here without any problems, and us hard working people are paying the taxes, and heavily enforced in all aspects
Criminal law is far more complex to enforce than civil law. I saw that through and through in Brazil, exactly what you are saying... it looks like criminals have all the advantages and no punishment for their acts -- But that is because it's easier to fine someone for some civil violation than to jail someone for a criminal violation.
This is very disheartening that the forever Hopeful person on the earth for the Canadian dreamers who used to counter all the arguments easily and successfully for the Canadian Challenges for the newly landed immigrants in Canada has finally got convinced to some extent that People are actually leaving Canada and the challenges being faced after arriving in Canada for the newly landed immigrants are getting larger and larger gradually. This is definitely not good for the golden headline "Forever Hopeful". Sad for the country of Dreamers. We definitely need lots of positivity in the air. As everyone is aware that the couple of the top most issues in Canada haven't developed overnight like Housing and Healthcare and May the almighty make this great country greater and the best again in the years to come. I am really hopeful for this as I have learnt this from Forever Hopeful one and only Canadian Immigration legend only.
Positivity is fruitful with a balanced dose of reality as well. Else it will only be a dream. The idea is to take a balance approach and understand what the country may have in store for you. The idea is not to fall into a trap of only rosy and hunky dory stories.
Don't even think of Canada if you are a doctor. It is impossible to get through the licensing for doctors in Canada. I know it first hand because a cousin of mine struggled for more than three years and finally moved back to India. Her husband followed her back to India, where she runs a very successful clinic now.
@@mohdraj6079 It isn't impossible, not even close. Good childhood friend of mine got it without any hassles and I visited him two months ago, he is working as a doctor just fine.
Man this is what makes you different. I dont agree to all the things you say or more importantly, dont say, but you are at least talking about the real issues unlike other immigration consultants who just add hopium to the community.
Hi, thanks for all your guidance to immigrants :) You are absolutely wonderful in sharing your knowledge with people. I am about to finish my one year experience on September 30 in Canada. I am planning to travel to the US and work from there for my Canadian company for about a month in August. Will that work experience count for my express entry? or do I have to work for another month in Canada and then apply for EE in the end of October to claim one year experience?
But the problem is that inspite of issues in canada nowadays have no impact on indian students and are blindly applying for canadian immigration either by study ,Lmia and spouse permit....i was talking to my frnd in india and advising him not to take lmia for 35 lakhs and he was like i want to come to canada at any cost and forcing his father to take loan of 40 lac just to enter canada and sadly these people doesn't even know how to calculate CRS for PR in future.... What i am fearing in canada ryt now, there will be increase in homeless people and people gonna stay illegal by staying beyond their visa just like USA.....
I hold PR of Canada along with my wife as we did soft-landing in September 2022 for a month only and currently living in India. Being software developer, I am earning here quite good. But question is : Should we plan to have our first baby over there and take advantage of that ? Or India is fine ? @AskKubeir
The only advantage you will have is baby would be a Canadian citizen. Rather have the baby in US, it would be better for the baby and you. An American citizen can sponsor his parents for green card after turning 21 and there is no queue or quota. In Canada, there is quota for parents.
Sir please reply please? Actually I have foreign work experience 2016 to 2018 full time 2020 to 2023 till now full time. 2018 to 2020 part time.. can I show 6 year work experience in fsw
Hello from India. I am a Canada PR aspirant 🙂 Points well made. But what is this report we are mentioning multiple times? Which says more immigrants are moving back to their original country. Can you please provide a link to it? Thanks, cheers.
Unaffordable, has lost justice, and is totally bankrupt and heading off a financial cliff. Everyone came and wanted something..Now Canada is out of something's and no longer a fair free country
That is honestly, untrue. Things are hard, but things aren't dire. You're not struggling to live -- at worst you're struggling to keep your lifestyle from a few years ago. Go take a look at Brazil for example, where one person living out of minimum wage (most people in the country) literally has to choose between having lunch or having dinner. Or Argentina where your money may not even be worth its weight in paper tomorrow. Canada is merely harder than it was a bit ago. Bankrupt and heading off a financial cliff? That was Spain a few years ago -- We had stores closing on a daily basis, there were actually no jobs rather than there weren't jobs people wanted to take as in Canada right now -- rents were being pulled out, people were losing their homes - debt was piling up alongside unemployment -- young adults were going back to live with their parents because they simply couldn't afford anything anymore -- most people would still had money to affort to take a risk left the country and tried to restart somewhere else in Europe -- I know way too many people who left to Portugal and France --- and I've said it before and I'll say it again: there were no jobs, you couldn't take a part time, couldn't go wash dishes at a restaurant, be a cashier, couldn't even get a job to clean the streets -- there were NO jobs. Canada is worse than it was... But Canada is fine. People really just got too used to how easy life was in Canada these past few years pre-Covid. All golden roads eventually end.
@@linksow5331 well, all I'm gonna say is your talking today. I'm talking in the near future. Once justice is lost sir you will have exactly what your describing. Sorry but they are extending mortgages out longer then expected life length something is seriously seriously wrong.
@@dougiep2769 Well none of us knows the future. In 2005 nobody in Spain would have said 2008 happened. Nobody in 2018 in Canada would ahve said 2023 Canada would be this reality. Look, what I am saying is... Canada has been worse than it was for barely one year... One single year... After three years of worldwide doom pandemic that has devasted the world FAR MORE than it did Canada... At worse you can call current Canada *tough times*, there is no doom and gloom in the horizon.
@@linksow5331 you know what they say about our opinions right? Let's just say l believe having had justice denied to me and what l have lived in in the last 13 yrs and seen l have pretty good idea what's coming. I lived in Arizona after the 2008 crash. Bought a house that had lost 75 percent of its value off a bank. I saw what happened to a lot of younger families and hope people realize after 30 yrs of prices going nowhere but up it has now come to an end and will cause lots of damage and hardship like hasn't been seen here since Trudeau's father was around and interest went to 22 percent
Very well said sir about the people who are already here in Canada. They are inviting more and more people for e.g. in STEM field and H1B visa holder to come and find work here. There is already dearth of tech jobs let alone survival job, how is that going to help us. We have already invested so much not in terms of money but also precious prime of out life and successful careers. I know Canada didn’t invited us with red carpet, we came here on our own terms but then govt. needs to think of generating jobs or at least throttle bringing more people.
Hi Satinder. Which place in Ontario is good for a new immigrant. Could you guide brother? moving to Canada soon. Thanks praaji. Also, I am in Tech. How easy it is to find a job? please guide.
@@RJ-zp7ez To be honest there is no easy answer to this. It all depends on your profile, the demand of that role and how much effort you put in search for a job. There is no such particular place. But if you are a software engineer, you areas are Greater Toronto Area or GTA, Montreal in Quebec. Best of luck.
@@SekhonSatinder Thanks, any cheaper housing areas. I was reading about Peterborough and windsor being cheap areas in terms of housing. Hope we meet some day in Canada :) Coming soon to a Tim Hortons near you.

Moving to Canada is more of what we call as bhed chal. Taxes and housing are major challenge in Canada. Life is too short to struggle so much.
