It’s been 5 years for me here and I honestly can say I have achieved nothing in my life yet. It scares me when I think I can’t return whatever my parents had invested in me. The fact is you’ll never have a good paying job in Canada being an immigrant. When I say this trust me I mean it. Most you’ll get is a minimum wage job which can make you survive the life here. Taxes are high definitely and what I feel is you’re working to make someone else’s life easier.
(P.S: people who’ve stayed in Canada will understand who I’m implying to)
No one wants to be your freind, scope of socializing is zero coz mostly it’s cold round the year so everyone hardly come out, especially in Northern provinces like Yukon, Saskatchewan, Manitoba.
Healthcare is a joke. If you feel sick and not well and you wanna see a doctor be prepared to wait for hours and hours. I once had stomach infection and I had to wait 5 hours till someone could see me. I asked for painkiller at-least so I could bear the pain but they refused that as well. You might well see someone you love dearly and with whole heart die in-front of you and you could do nothing. (I’ve experienced it myself hence saying)
You’re a lone survivor who’ll always keep fighting.
The only person who can make money here is businesses and high paid jobs which are reserved to Canadians. That’s how Canada’s job market is. Canadians’ first and if there’s something left they’ll look at you. By the amount of money people invest here they can establish a nice business back in their country itself and earn accordingly on own terms.
Most importantly you’ll cut yourself from all emotional supports like family, freinds etc.
I was social person back in India who liked making new freinds and memories but it’s nothing like that here.
And it’s the same life, no different.
You wake up, dress, eat, go to work, come back, eat, sleep. No different.
No fun and nothing. You actually don’t live in present, you live in an expectation of a better tommorow.
You’ll always have a smile when you greet someone but I guarantee you no one’s gonna check on you to if you don’t start a conversation even with a simple “Hi”. Mostly Canadians are nice but again some will systematically judge you and say nothing but you’ll see in their actions, the way they’ll talk in a twisted way etc.
Yes I’m not saying that Canada’s bad or it’s no good but trust me it will take forever to build a life here especially with the number of people moving here from round the world.
If you’re well off financially from back home Canada’s a paradise for you. Indeed it’s a beautiful country with lots of beauty and lots to explore but remember everything comes with a cost here. Everything comes with a cost. People need to stop believing in this fake illusion and come only if they got a purpose here. The only reason why they’ll let you in the country is for money and once you’re in you’ll have to keep spending, doesn’t matter if you’re broke or whatever you have to.
Once I earn I’ll happily give up my PR status and go back to India as i very well know what the situation is how it’s gonna be in future.
So just one piece of advise to every middle class person like me, guys please invest and spend your money wisely coz we know how hard it is to earn and it’s high time Canadians start appreciating what immigrants like us do for them by burning ourselves day and night and start realizing that their past generation once came from some other part of the world as well and settled here. Being white doesn’t make you a nice Canadian, you’re actions defines you more than your words.
90% of this country is built by immigrants and that’s how it’s gonna develop in future, so if they keep treating us the same way good luck to them 🙂.
Also a plus note to anyone thinking that Asians are stealing your jobs, go get outside and have the balls to face them and take it away from them. Staying home and ranting and abusing us that we’re taking your opportunities and blah blah isn’t gonna work. We are so successful round the world because we are hardworking, honest and respectful to everyone. Even if we’re earning minimum and barely surviving here we always make sure we’re not burden on the government or anyone else and won’t keep crying.
A big shoutout to all you guys who came here in the hope of a better future but are still struggling.
Keep hustling and you’ll reach there, if not step down and go back and start your life again on your home soil. There’s no shame in experimenting continuously rather than sitting ideally and crying about future.
All the very best my people and lots of love to you ❣️
Hi … I am feeling the same .. although I came here in December 2022 on my birthday… I thought ki ye bhut accha decision hai but nhi .. yha life only hand to mouth hai 🥲
@@naz1118 I came here on my birthday as well and I was all alone. I remember it was my first day here and I was sitting in a room all day crying as I was so home sick. Eventually time went by and I got used to but now I've become a completely emotionless person. Don't talk to anyone and nothing. Canada has become very hostile. I feel if you don't have a family here you're wasting it. People think they'll come here and earn lots but it's the opposite. You do earn but keep spending it like crazy. Taxes, rent, grocery, bills, payments etc and what not.
no one wants to be friend specially whites because brown punjabis from punjab and haryana have created mess there....everyone suffers
Work - pay bills - die,this is canada.
O my God.. I'm so moved reading this. I have been through this crap too. But after 6 years, I'm a Canadian citizen, and I still feel the same 😂.. terrible. Struggling to find work and s**t
One of the sweetest videos I've come across on Canada. No negativity or hate-mongering, just facts as it is in the simplest of ways. I've been living here for almost 3 years now- and I'm used to being alone, but I still find the void maybe its seeing your own people back home. I'd say it's quite a struggle to live here and you start to accept it as a norm. But I love motorcycling and I am overwhelmed by the natural beauty- did some amazing rides in summer, but unfortunately winters are here now. While I have three years on my OWP, I'd use that time to gain more experience, travel across the beautiful landscapes and head back home. I don't see myself settling in here- not my kind of life. I am very adaptive and have come up on my own in life from a very tough childhood- I love Canada for what it is, but then it's just not for me.
🙏
I stayed abroad, not in Canada. I realized that how much we take things for granted in India. Ma'am I totally agree to what you said about emptiness and lack of social connect. It takes guts to speak out and re-start life.
Where did you live?
It's so gud life
I live in Aust and most Indians that I've met here seem to have been wrapped in cotton wool and are surprised that they have to do things for their survival . I'm talking about basic things like changing a light bulb or a tap .
indians in general do not think about how their actions will affect others in society. that hurts them the most when they move. most indians abroad stay only in their own communities and barely interact with the rest of the population.
I am in Canada I am very happy 😅
One of my close friend shifted to Canada in 2022 with his family. Stayed there for a 8-10 months and came back to India saying a big goodbye to Canada. He spoke positive about everything that you are saying is goodie goodie in Canada, but they got frustrated with the long distances of traveling from home to place of work and then he said there is very little social life in Canada. Ek din achanak se decide kiya ki bas, ab Canada mein nahi rehna, and immd they came back.
social life is not there because indians cannot mix or interact with others.. thank god they came back..
This is good to know! Better to cut your losses and move on rather than stay and live a miserable life. I am pleased to see the current generation unafraid to take bold decisions.
Canada 🇨🇦 never invited them first place
@@anwarnayani5849 no country invites anybody to come and stay. It is the life that takes you to different places. You go to watch a movie, you like it- you praise it. If you don't like it- you criticize it. Same with countries. You like some places and you don't like some places. Simple.
everything comes with a cost. if your social life is more important than the amount of money you're making, then of course, canada is not a good place. But if the opposite, then you can stake your social life for something worth it.
High school (10-12) is really tough there specially when your child is an IB student. University life is also full of challenges and very very costly.
Life is hard if you're not flexible weather it's India or any other country. Even if you just change city or state in India only you have to make a lot of adjustment that's natural. Every place have it's own good things and bad things, we just need to decide where we can adjust and where not.
Apne Mausam vaala weather likh diya. Whether hota h😅
I agree with u.i justed shifted from punjab to Tamilnadu and facing lot of problems.
This is FYI to everyone.
Teaching staff and Supporting Staff in school are not the SAME in Canada.
As a Teacher or Teaching Staff in Canada you need a license or certification by the Ontario College of Teachers and it cannot happen in 2 months. Anyone with an external degree cannot come and directly teach in the primary schools.
So it is not that easy to get in as Teacher without putting any effort.. Government over here is very particular about the teachers they recruit.
and
Supporting Staff are not allowed to teach they are extra helping hands for the school during some special time or needs eg lunch time and for students with special needs etc... and these position are "mostly" sessional
Everyone has their own experiences. But the hospital incident I can relate. One time I took my son in emergency and the doctor gave anesthesia to my son in his finger and then got busy worh other patients and when she came back the affect was almost done and when she gave cut in his finger, he was in real pain and I was literally in tears.
After few years when my situation was grave the head of the department herself took permission in the meeting for my immediate MRI which takes longer if you not in dire need.
But she gave the perfect review. Never come here to study in college. You won't get anything except wasting your money. For me it's been 20 years here. Life is not easy at all, but I'm used to it. May be because I don't need friends to share happiness or my sorrows. I'm a strong woman and can handle my ups and down.
Life is all about paying bills and bills here and I now I don't have any regrets, so I'm okay with it. Winters are good as long as you have proper clothing and shoes. I never had an issue.
Gud share ur experience.
5:06 5:07
winters are 8 months longer in canada , you cant go outside .
@loverebel6632 unless u r staying Alberta ,Nova scotia in Intario winter is only 5months but this winter I didn't even wear winter boots coz its warmer than normal Canadian winter ❤...
Nice Vlog, narrated factually with great recollection of all challenges.....Enjoyed from Innisfil, Ontario in this part of the world since 1968.....still loving IT!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@OnCloudNine27what is the current situation of canada now.
I’m here for from last 6 years but I’d like to tell people - Canada is not the place to come and never ever make this mistake . Economy literally zero, school system - other than real education they teach you everything which is of useless in life, medical care - people have been waiting to see doctor for over 2 years, income tax is 50% which is you’ll never get anything as take home. There are way too many society issues that she’s not able to cover because of the limited time she lived here. There’s no social structure, festivals, support, mentally everyone’s weak, almost all food is GMO which will make you patient forever. Every family who came here post covid is struggling. Most of us are planning to return to motherland sooner or later 🇮🇳 India is the best place for well rounded life always.
come back to india if u r not feeling happy overthere
I agree
Well said. 100% true
Diwali vacations ending is a reminder of the irony that we leave a warm home, loving family, old friends, ghar ka khana, laughter, giggles and a million memories to move to a lonely, locked house and cold food… in search of a better life.
Sometimes going to another place like Canada, US, etc.. makes you appreciate what you left.. even if you go back, nothing lost because you gained a new awareness of yourself of your likes and dislikes. Also, you got to experience a different culture and way of living... which you realized is not for you. Just think of it as a learning experience. You've just became a more grounded person because of this.
Nice and well thought out video. Even though I don't agree with everything, you said it in a considerate way and shared your honest experience. It was just unfortunate that you did not get enough time to settle down. Moving to any new place is extremely tough and especially when you are moving to a completely new city. I live in Germany and I love it here. My wife and I came here to study, but my wife came first and she had a really bad first 6 months in winter. Things got much better later. We Indians miss house help so much in early days, but the fact is you have so much free time here and things are well organized. You don't waste time in traffic, you don't have to go 10 times to a government office to get work done, you don't have to sit with kids everyday to do homework, kids can come and go to school on their own, there is little dust so houses don't get dirty every day, everything is planned and no one is visiting your house suddenly. So in reality, doing the house chores aren't such a big deal because you have a lot of time.
🙏
The same feeling is mine... I recently moved to America , and in the beginning, I also missed my house and family and friends..
But here I have more time for myself and my kids... Yes, you r right Indian government Offices every one know the exact condition...
I know only one thing if our parents moved for us from village to city to give us better education better facilities then why not we , Is our kids have to right to improve the level..If yes then how,we will responsible for kids everything ..
In simple language bolu agar 1 peede aage badege tab dusre ko acha future milega aur jab struggle hi kerna hai toe better way mein kare Insaan...India mein pvt school ,coaching jaan le lete hai parents ke...isliye I think stay abroad minimum 3 yrs then take decision and see difference....everything is complicated everywhere to get....aaj India mein 1 lakh koe value nahi rakhta ghar bhi loge toe bhi 1 crore taak pahuc jaata hai...
Acha hai India koe doubt nahi....we also missed food specially here...Function togetherness...
But aajkal sab rishte naam ke hai waha bhi kissi ko kissi ke liye time nahi..
Same here....very much confused...😊
Don't worry, reverse migration will start soon. 😂😂
I am hearing so much ooinions of all the indians from india , seriously what did yourl expect , every country has their own culture / way of life you cant have your bread buttered on both sides , and yes if you see now globally all people are having issues if you are not theit own , as for socially i can assure you people are not so social in india as well , that from my experience when i went there , so why expect better from someone from somewhere else , the problwm is indians want to he all over the world aand expect it to be to their liking ,
Exactly same, I am experiencing in Melbourne. I also have sister here with her family so I didn’t face the Initial problems like you but all the other problems which you faced, I am experiencing the same. My biggest mistake was that I didn’t take decision like you of coming back and after 3 months, my job in India was given to someone else. Now I have no other choice but to stay here for some years so that I will earn at least some money before returning.
I have been living in London for 23 years. I came here when I was in my late twenties but I miss india like anything, specially now for last 4-5 years. I keep thinking that wish we stayed in India. Practically it’s all OK but emotionally now I want to be at home with my extended family and my childhood friends. I know many people here living for so many years, but could never make so kind of close friends. When you are older, you start missing home badly and look back and think if it was right to move this far from home. It’s not the perspective of everyone for sure but of many including many of the people I know. It’s lonely here.
When you say 'london' do you mean London itself or England?? Most Indians who come and live in the UK always say they live in London!! Oh me, I live in Birmingham , 110miles NW of London. Just down the road if your a canadien right!!
Home is where the heart is.
True confession !! And honestly India society is also getting mature and they are shifting from Show Off to now Value based culture. Kids can find best of the Education and Education support in India, also from Sports excellence point of view you can find good facilities and coaching. I think if we could beat that thought of "Show Off" like (mera beta/beti/damad videsh me rehte hain) then we can live better life back in India.
💯 correct
very true.. Life in India is so comfortable.. I love India.. Videsh ghumne jaane k liye achha h
It's the people that matters not the place
Yes, show off and competition is more in north India I suppose. No need to buy 50-60,000/- smart phones for each member of the family if you dont need it, or luxury cars just to off and then complain that there are no savings.
When I was India, I had Nokia 33 something, drive a Luna and my friends used to say I should upgrade myself, be happening like other girls but I was more focused on studies and work. I am in USA now from last 12 years but I am still the same, I buy whatever I like and want but not because something is in trend.
excuse me? education in india is best??? lmfaoooooooooo
I moved to Canada in 2006. We are happy here. Initial days are tough but you should have stayed 2 years and then decided. Life is very good and winters you get used to like how we get used to summers in India.
Canada and many other foreign countries were a great place to immigrate 30 or 40 years back.
In the end it comes to mentality. If you believe that Canada or foreign country is superior you would not want to leave it. People settleing abroad sometimes are also delusional in accepting the truth.
In the end all that matters is your salary. If you are getting a great salary life is great. A bad salary in Canada or Australia isn't any good.
I know people earning above 4 lakhs per month as a couple still move abroad because in their head India is a shit hole.
Oye ullu you moved in 2006. Now have you seen the haalat of the country? How can new immigrants ever adjust. Everything is so expensive unless you move to crappy places. Don't mislead people. Unless you're middle class or lower in India, there is nothing that's better in Kanneda. All desis and it looks more Punjab than Punjab itself.
@@teedee2894 It is not the haalat of the country, it is the new generation of Indians that are lazy and entitled as ever. They will not fit in any country.
I ❤ Canada will never ever leave here.
@malkeitkaur3046 behen you had no hope lol. The work you do in Canada .. you think you're a princess in India but clean toilets in canada
I love my peoples , my culture, my language and my country BHARAT🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳❤❤❤❤
In many ways our country only I like may be u may earn well but when u fall sick nobody is there to take care of ur children u have to drive and go to emergency no Baba we don't like foreign just holidays u can enjoy
10% India have good life.
@@parvathiumashankar3892 obvisiously. Eventhough people left their loveone ,relative behind. Even my cousin sister who lives in johansburg south africa was not able to attend her own father funeral and watching her father funeral on video call. Even of our relatives watching marriages on video call. It is better to earn and live with your loveones and enjoy every moment of life and keep happy memories.
If I may hazard a guess: I think her husband did not find his job in Canada satisfactory and so he had to go back and join his Indian job which he had taken leave from for his Canada visit. Then he called her back with the children, after packing up and leaving belongings with relatives. It was a trial visit.
I guess you worked as president of USA ?
Yeah really some people don’t say their real failure status
bhagg@@jontyrhodes4155
I live in canada and used to think, may be i am the only one facing all these problems and feelings of that emptiness, doing everything on your own, no jugaad, and the drugs issues etc.etc..i agree with you for every single word you have spoken...i see some people judging for your returning to own country and giving importance to own mental health
Almost everyone faces it. Most are stuck their now because of finances, EMIs, and kids. I have met a looot of Indian people in Canada over the years, never met one who could say moving to Canada was the best decision of their life. Not one. Most are struggling. They criticize those who return because they are unable to go back and want to justify their decision of staying in Canada. If given a chance where all their finances were settled and no one would criticize them, most would come back to India.
If you had an easy life in India where you had a maid, a cook, and others to do all the housework and other work then you will never settle in other countries where you have to do everything yourself!
Well said.
Not only domestic help, all western countries are so very expensive and all are in a rat race. India is little more relaxed and less expensive and people are more friendly in india. People in India are very lively and the whole country is very lively and all shops are open until 10 clock in the evening and the weather is nice. That's y civilization started early in this region and thrived.
Western countries are not very conducive for life. That's y whilst in india highly advanced engineering going on 5000 years back, whereas Europeans and people in western countries were still hunters and gatherers.
India is the best geographically, spiritually, weather, landscapes, people, food etc etc
@@99technologyvery well said.
Very good information.
god u r so true .I’m a 34 year old woman . I had 2 maids in india. new house . 9 to 5 job . moms place nearby . people to talk and freedom to roam .
Now I’m in USA . washing utensils ,folding clothes , cooking 7 days 3 times a week . my relatives are like wow she is in America ! Iam like begging husband for bag/clothes/etc without job .
We Indians are rich in our own way . I don’t know when Indians realize this.
Only thing I love here is once u go out of house it’s green and fresh air.. No traffic no one stares at my dress/accessories / anything. Our india house loan gets cleared very soon that’s the only relief .
taking care of 2 kids . if i go back to india i want to touch and kiss our soil .
This is my first video of ur channel I m seeing, I saw title and wished to see this video full, I saw ur whole video, my big brother was in Canada for just a month as his USA visa was expired, so he had to move out from Usa, and he decided to go in Canada, he stayed there in hotel with his wife and daughter, and in a month his most of savings were gone, just to live in Canada, it’s 12 years before thing, then he immediately came to India, and small sister is in USA, she is still there but, USA is somewhat equally same like Canada. Ur this video will be a opinion or decision make for many, for sure. So big like to this video from me. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
As a Canadian who has lived in almost all the provinces and territories, all my life, I can tell you that a lot has changed as I think the best time or era was in the 1970's and you may have come at the worst time as the worst appears to be now when everything has become too expensive. The other problem relates to Canada, its size, the distances to travel, the smaller tax base with a smaller population than that of United States or India. This is not intended to provide excuses but most people here do not even have a family doctor as many doctors find greener pastures in the United States where the dollar is 30 percent higher in value and salaries are not limited to government health care. It is hard to change when American influence dictates much of what transpires. Homelessness hasn't been a problem but the last five years has provided more hardship for many who find it hard to cope with how things have become.
You are pretty correct, 70's- late 90's was the best time to migrate there.
The migration in the years of 70s to 90s is exactly what Indians to this date are chasing. The stories of exponential success of Indian people who did not even possess a decent education but were very successful in Canada were widespread in the 90s and 2000s in Indian households. Everyone had someone in their family who was good for nothing in India but then migrated to Canada and had bought a good house, a good car and had a nice family life while doing a blue collar job. On top of this, they were treated as a celebrity whenever they came back to their home city.
Being an Indian living in Canada for over 22 years and working in healthcare system, I would highly recommend to check your vitamin levels (especially vitamin D, B12 if vegetarians) and general health regularly (it applies to those living in US and European countries). A known phenomenon that occurs especially during darker colder months is Seasonal effective disorder (SAD) and needs to be dealt with before it turns in depression.
Life is hard l, no matter where you live but if you decide to move to foreign countries…just be prepared to face difficulties and adjust your expectations accordingly.
very true, check your vitamin levels
Totally agree to your views.i was in canada for the last 3 years.Beautidul experience except the cold bititing in winter .
So True... we just came to canada... finally someone talked about it... canada is not what people think it is!! India is the best!!
Give one to two years. Many things are new in a new country. I went through a sort of depression in the 1st year. After 48 years I am still here and the most happiest person and very prosperous too.
madam please come back . there are more indians waiting in line to enter the country. maybe if you leave then someone will get chance to enter
Lol, I can understand why some people from various countries feel their country is best but I can assure you it has a lot to do with understanding the language, customs, the food, they way of life, religious and educational aspects that you're accustomed to right down to the smells in the markets, the people and festivities. It might sound strange but I would have a really hard time in India with the heat, the crowded streets and the frustration of traveling about in crowded streets, buses all moving at a slower pace. On the same token, I like change, discovering what new foods there are with new tastes and unfamiliar dishes that you like so much they become locked in your mind so you won't forget what to ask for next time. I like travel but I prefer less crowded places and not too hot or too spicy.
Truly canada is virtual Hell on earth been there twice n always came back tho I was Canadian PR n quit my PR last year… And india is truly heaven on earth .. personal assistance (maids n electricians plumbers ets) we get here is blessing guys 🎉🎉
plus our family friends rituals festivals warmth.
Inflation
It's based on perception, we here in India take every thing granted, but what I think it's heaven only when you have connections, otherwise a single admission in hospital can empty your whole life savings. If you or your family struck in any situation, law will not help you rather will get you in more trouble if don't pay bribe. Then also India is great.
Imo, being an immigrant anywhere is hard; it sucks.
If you come to Canada from India, you probably wouldn't enjoy it. It would take ages for you to establish yourself.
Likewise, if you were originally from Canada and immigrated to India, you most likely hate it and struggle for a long time. You would miss the home where you were born and raised.

Things are changing sure for good in India. It may not be the best institute or city infrastructure in the world but things are changing gradually. We are in progress. Thanks for sharing your experience.
A very very balanced review! You highlighted all the pros and cons so clearly. All the best to you ❤
It is balanced because she hates coming back to India as well. She will change her mind again.
@@ppen8359 that’s not my problem. My comment is as an objective viewer who has zero interest in immigrating anywhere. From a purely sociological perspective, it was a balanced review. If she has the PR, she has the prerogative. At least she clearly highlighted the cons - and there are many!
@@devnachan The PR goes away if you stay outside Canada for so long, so she will go back. And nothing is objective. If you have 0 interest in immigrating anywhere then you will weigh cons more and pat yourself at back for your decision.
I think you made fantastic decision to move back to India.
We moved to Newzealand in my early 20s from India. I'm an electronics engineer. I had 2 kids with no moral support from anyone in a foreign country, it's hard. I never wanted to live in a foreign country but my husband insisted only 2 years & we will go back......but ................fast forward, 25 years later, my kids grew up in Newzealand & they love Newzealand and don't want to move anywhere else in the world. We are Newzealand citizens now. I still think of India because I have my siblings there. But, once you are settled in a foreign country, believe me, you can't go back to India. All the best to you and your family. You have done a great decision of moving back because it gets harder later when kids grow up 👍👏💕
You can move back, if you or anyone else wants to..even for retirement...cost of living, housing is much cheaper, especially in mid size or smaller cities, such as chandigarh, vizag, even pune...the pension plus sale from house in western country will go much further in india
@@chrisreddy6808it's not just about money she has got kids there are emotional commitments stopping her
@@ry8156 she said "can't " ...which means she has no choice...she Won't move back because she made a choice...besides, siblings and parents are spread out in different countries now...very common
It is nothing like that. If your mind is set, you can come back. We had green card way back in 90's still we came back. There is loneliness, 0 culture, no entertainment during festivals. We enjoy 9 days of Navratri,Diwali and so many festivals,can eat all kind of vegetarian food outside ur house. Salary and education is best in India. You will always live a second citizen life. Not at all great saving. Tax is more. There 90 percent cons. Horrible weather, third class public transport.
If u r from Mumbai I don't think u shud leave and settle outside. Can understand if you are from interiors oif India
@@ry8156 I agree with you 💯 👍.Because my kids are born & raised in Newzealand. They can speak English & our mother tongue konkani but they don't understand Hindi or any other Indian languages. It will be hard for them to live in India because of different languages. Also, since they have done degrees in Newzealand, they have got jobs in Newzealand. Now, it's hard for them to move to India. Also, I can't leave my kids behind & move to India because I have emotional attachment with them.
I was born in Canada 48 years ago and I might have to leave because the cost of living is so much now!
You are an honest person. God bless you. I was born in India. At the age of 24 migrated to Tanzania. After living in Tanzania for 30 years migrated to UK. Faced same problems. Thank God. Settled down comfortably here. Carry on. May God bless you.
If going on PR then we shouldn't compare everything with India. It's new country and new life so expect to start from zero and do through research before immigrating especially with family. Fixing home stuffs like plumbing, furniture and all is pretty normal everywhere in North America and Europe.

The only thing you have to remember leaving your home country and going to the west is that you are different not the people livng there... one should be prepared to adapt to Canadian culture.
Totally agree on your analysis....we are here in Canada and still fighting :) for better opportunity
This lady obviously comes from a rich family and not used to do things
The Master/Mistress - Servant (Naukar) divide in india is such a glaring example of the Privileged vs Underprivileged
I also come from a highly privileged family in Hyderabad, but now when we go back to India for holidays with the children, we make sure that our domestic help is not abused. They eat the same food as we do and are given all the facilities that we use in including going out to restaurants and other places such as the Zoo or fun parks
I have lived both in Canada and now in USA and can say without hesitation that the Western way of life is much more human
These countries have a much higher level of tolerance for foreigners
Also, career wise both countries have given us amazing opportunities
Yes we do miss the social life of India, but in big cities of the West that loneliness gap is beginning to shrink as well
Lastly we Indians live a life of dual values. Ghar ke andar kuch aur ghar ke baahar kuch- this is not the case with Canadians/Americans.
It's a pity that it required an experience of living abroad for your humanity to awaken.
There are many well off privileged families in India who treat their household help with consideration and compassion.
Thanks for showing the reality and dark truth of Canada.
Most of the people can't do what you did you explained everything about struggle.
and in the next upcoming years life is going to be so hard to survive in Canada, expenses are too much and everything is expensive.
India 🇮🇳is the best country to live if you want Easy, Smooth life.
I absolutely agree with you 💯 👍@yourbaap6969
@@jennifershakira409 👍😊
This is same in all west countries not just Canada alone.
Easy? India? Dark truths about Canada? Did we see the same video. I only heard a grown up child throw tantrums about nothing.
This is not a dark truth this is reality and this is life style you do adjust love ❤️ it or leave and there’s are lots of good things about Canada i migrated to Canada 🇨🇦 in 1974
Thanks 🙏

Thank u so much! It is definitely a honest review. Good to know all the information you have shared
It all depends on your individual circumstances, your upbringing, your financial and social status back home, your attitude towards other human beings.
I must say that you have been very honest in giving out your opinion, back home we still want to enjoy colonial traditions and comforts.
There is no denying fact that there are greater opportunities for the young kids provided parents pay FULL attention in their upbringing.
What you have said is very true, however there are people who would still like to relocate to Canada because of lot of things.
Any relocation in the new place there is going to be difficult times but once they are settled, they are very happy in Canada,
as they get used to the place.
All you said is total truth. All work so hard abroad ..if u work that much in your country salary will come same. All my uncles and aunts came back in old age to rebuild house and die here. But they lost their children who stayed back and had become foreigners. I made sure all my children come back and settle in our country .
Hi Suchita, I can totally relate to this. I came here 20 years ago. Now I feel lonely despite having 2 kids husband they became foreigners like. I am pure Indian by heart . Until kids were little I was emotionally ans physically busy. Now as life slipping away I feel lonely emotionally and mentally n physically. 😢😢
As per my past experience I lived 2 years partially without any types of done job or hard work ..So .. I can say that Canada is HEAVEN .. But ... One generation sacrifice for their children future .... If they not have sufficient fund .... As per me .. Canada .. is Best for Either lower middle class who hard work in here India or Rich class people ... For Middle class who never faced any types of Hard work not easily settle in Canada.
Well said sir🙏
Agreed coz one of my relative went to Canada in 2005 in winters..you won't believe he came back after 3 months..
Now he got a better job and owns a house in Pakistan and a content life with his family.
This video is a much-needed reality check for those who believe foreign countries are all like fairytales. I'm not saying it's wrong to seek good opportunities abroad, but it might not be the same experience for everyone. It's essential to appreciate what we have here and contribute to the development of our nation. India is a stunningly diverse country. Let's explore and celebrate its beauty.💖
It depends and could be a topic of discussion. India doesn't offer many opportunities for lower middle class families and for average students where they could shine professionally and financially in western countries.
Visit Switzerland and it's nothing less than a fairyland.
2 months is a really short time to give judgement on a country. You have to give yourself a year to adjust. You are lucky you went when your kids are big and can do everything on their own. We migrated to Australia 20 years back when our son was 1 my younger two kids were born here it was a struggle then but it was all worth it. I love India it is the place of my birth but Australia is home. I am sure many Indians living abroad feel the same.
Yeah , exactly almost one year, we must explore new things and we must make the struggle and then judge ourselves...
true

It takes only 5 days to know about a place.i have lived for 10 years in a western country UK. Whatever she says is absolutely true. Good that she didn't waste her life for 10 years like I did.
Sorry, I almost completed 6 years but my mind always think go back ,she took decition faster that's great, Canada is not like before, now no jobs and all expensive ,when I came Canada 2018 really it was good ,job everything now no.
India is different now ,it's 2023
Canada is burger India is biriyani..enjoy the flavors!
canada is rotten burger .
To get a teacher’s job you must get a teacher’s license. You don’t have to be a lunchroom supervisor to become a teacher. A lunchroom supervisor doesn’t do teaching! He /she minds the kids during lunch time!
Thanks dear…..and i have already enrolled in OCT certification 🙏
I am a teacher here.
Wow!!!! Great. ❤️
Exactly... Without licence you can't apply even for a substitute teacher...
@@OnCloudNine27 fusss ho gaya kya dreams canada ka
Appreciate your true & in-depth review about it. You've covered every aspect of life in it. Thanks a million for the same.
You are so very true. Generally, We are very anxious to go to foreign countries. But our India is much better than any other country. I also went UK sometimes for 3 months, sometimes for 2 months with my daughter since my husband is working there. Trying to realize whether me and my daughter can adjust there or not. But I saw their life is very hard. Everything I have to do alone without the help of anyone even when I am sick also. Another thing is that in foreign countries you can not get the comfort in mind to speak to others in a foreign language and always a feeling will be there that this is not my country. So, I came back and I am really happy here and I am continuing with a very comfortable life.
I think due to exercise and hardship there western are more healthy we have obesity due laziness
@@101cuteanime9 they also go through obesity like there are less variety of food when it comes to vegetarian dishes , so this heavy consumption of meat is also not good .
Indians are lazy , they are depended on others for their work , they get their work done by others ..that is why when they go abroad they have to do their work by themselves, then they say life is hard ...that is why in India ,parents should stop supports kids when they turn 17 ,financially and all the other ways
@@101cuteanime9The food is GMO over there in Western countries which is extremely unhealthy and almost always leads to Cancer.
Dont worry madam,, taken right decision, we all just have to live where we feel happy and comfort,,, i think now you are so happy,, dont take others words at any cost
🙏🙏
no we have a duty to our country anyways Canada doesn't have a bright future
Good thinking, best supporting talking about your experience .
Allah bless you and bless your family.
Thank you so much
No place like one's own Motherland.🙏🙏🙏🙏
it’s so true hamari dhatri is so pure
I been in Canada 37yrs still thinking about going back
Missing my Goa India. I feel same like u dear.I’m also going to my Goa vsoooon. Lov your videos so much. Vivaaaaaa Goa vivaaa India always ❤️🙏🇬🇧
Thanks for liking my videos sir🙏
Absolutely stunning video and you summarized super well!!
I live in the USA 🇺🇸 for last 18++ years and we have similar culture and patterns!!!
I went thru crazy 😜 struggle where I need to be today nearly 14.5 years to be successful! 😊
That was a beautiful vlog, loved it. Thank you for your perspective.
So simple, straight from the heart , great communication ability to connect
I appreciate people making these videos...because people hve misconceptions..that everything is very good here. With high number of people coming in..and infrastructure ( housing/ hospitals/ school) slow to catch up with the population ..we see line ups/ waiting list for everything.
Good that you are back!! Our country is best!!
I have been asked few times in my company to go there and i have never opted it!!
Wow. Very well u have shared every details of staying outside India. It's the same here in Australia too.
But aap lucky ho Wapas ghar aa gaye.
Language comfort relationships aur food they become serious issues.
I am in Canada from 7 years now. You are so on point with whatever you said in your video. Everything is true. I am glad that you are showing a true side of Canada to your viewers. My husband and I are here just because we like being independent, doing everything by ourselves, that freedom and peace this country gives you😊 Though we badly miss our family and festivals in India. We make sure to visit india every 2 years so that we don't feel homesick. Wish you a blessed life❤
Ab yahi sach India me bhi batao 😂india ke bare me 😂Jo sach hai woh...
Even my daughter is in Toronto it's 6 years now. And they got citizenship last year.
They are happy, they come india every second year.
Where are you now? Mam

Very Informative & Factfull Vlog.....👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you liked it.
Very well made video Bete.Good clarity of different situations which would be useful to the intending migrants.A very positive attitude displayed throughout and the pros and cons explained well.God Bless in your future endeavours .
Glad you liked it🙏
Lovely video!❤ honest and heartwarming. Everyone has a different journey overseas. While it may be hard for families who have got used to the Indian way of living, family like ours have fit in better because our starting point was overseas! But lot of power to you and your family.
Thanku dear.. You have changed my mind in case of education
Hi. We too did the same mistake moving to Europe as a family where we do not have anyone. It's so lonely here. We moved from Middle East thinking we will have a better life, and for my child education in t college but just like you I am feeling so lonely, restless crying day n night...I wish we could go back...Middle East countries are much better.
Understand how one feels especially when you come from a much vibrant country. Everyone wants to come for a better life in the West but then find it quite different than expected. I hope over a period of time you will find suitable people and activities to engage with. I wish you the best.
Good.... do go back
We had same experience and again moved back to middle East
...happy to be back
You should have Social Life and Friends.
@@novinaalphanso-dias4736 That's nice..one feels much relaxed and safe.
You have really given an excellent review of Canada. You have shown a reality of life here. I wish people understand the struggle and also benefits and hardwork here. Good job. Keep it up 👍🏻
Today most of the youth go abroad for higher studies and professional courses. These foreign countries have all the benefits and facilities when they want money by enrolling the students into different courses to make their economy greater but when it comes to job and giving employment it is like they are doing a big favour on us.
Great insights ma'am, thanks for sharing it in length.. could you please tell which province were you in and how was the weather there..if you could sharing this too.. thank you..
Completely agree with whatever ur saying whether it’s education or life it’s too depressing.
Amazing video. I loved the way you explained everything. Stay blessed.
Jo log india se canada jate hai vo log bahot struggle karte hai, paisa bhi bhejte hai india me, 14:11 parents ko.salute hai ye hardwaorker logo ko 🌹
@On Cloud Nine Vlogs, through this video you have shared overall experience in Canada. I personally feel that every dream has it's own set of pros/cons. which you have properly showcased through this video... Great!!!
Yeah this very lonely feeling is CULTURAL SHOCK! It happens as a natural reaction
Will you please tell which parcel company did you use to transfer your goods to India?
Excellent video and what this Pretty Lady spoke of her ideas about Canada was superb and she seems to have spoken the facts from the way she has expressed her ideas in the most realistic way. God bless her and her family.
It's not just about Canada this is same in America, UK and eauropeon countries. If u hard working u can survive anywhere of the world.
But she did not want to work hard. When her husband left, she realized the magnitude of work she has to do without any support. She did not even start working at her school job at that point. Papa ki pari did not like the reality of life.
😂😂 lol outside India everyone have to do hard work more than our country.. One side you loose something but you gain too.. She gave up very easily without proper research..
मै भी अपनी बेटी के पास california गई थी..1-2 months के बाद वहाँ से भागने का मन करने लगा...बाहर के देशों में अपनेपन वाली feeling नहीं आती..बड़ी नकली सी जिंदगी लगती है वहाँ...वहाँ के रेस्टोरेंट मे खाने में घिन आती है...पता नहीं क्या-क्या खाते है..बहुत अच्छा हुआ आपलोग आ गए 👍💕
It depends on ur priority . I truly feel from development perspective of a child it’s much holistic and less harsh. Depending on capability ppl admit in private schools for more rigorous and methodical education. Public schools vary based on ratings, hence ppl select house based on school district .
Secondly I personally felt a lot of shift in my mental health. While u have to do everything by urself it gets integrated with ur lifestyle and u learn to function parallely or sequentially. A good part I feel rather than supervising maids and doing khich khich it’s way easier to do the job on ur own.
Here the mental health is much better, ppl care about family life , ppl care about values and respect to each other. Bcz everyone is treated at same level be it a doctor or construction worker u learn not o take ppl for granted .
In terms of value system, wellness here it’s much much advanced and focused , so is for child care and development .
But yes in the scenario today’s global 😂coming u can’t come here without proper job if u r not in ur early 20s to mid 20s when u r mostly experimenting with life .
Ur son asking how to hold the fork🙂... that was so sweet....nice to hear ur honest opinion!!!
🙏
I thought ur going to share some serious issues bt this are common in all countries except our home country. I agree with you for 50% Here its completely independent life style . Once u start living here u wil know ur capacity and be proud of urself like u can do all ur works by urself. Missing family members and loneliness is definitely true. Education is much matter in india that is also true. And last wt u said was 100% true if ur earning good in india no need to move to other countries u can hardly save 50k to 1 lakh compare to india . To just save this no need to come so far from family.
healthcare is the biggest point you missed sunitha .
On one hand people go abroad on the other hand start complaining
We save 4 Lacs monthly household
Stay Happy in our Country.🇮🇳🇮🇳...I think.UAE is the best place to leave safely in whole world 🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪🇮🇳🇦🇪
Lot of restrictions and climate is hot through out the year
Really!! If one does a simple, non-intential "mistake," you are "up the creek" and may be seeing prison walls for months if not for years. So my advice is, enjoy the city, it's structures, a variety of food offerings, etc., but be careful.
Do you have freedom of speech? Can you openly practice your religion or drink on Friday? How about female? UAE I would not live or settle. Can't be citizen. One can be kicked out anytime.
islamic countries are barbaric .
Very good review! 👍🏼
Seemed a genuine sharing! 👌🏼
By the way, which city's experience (in Canada) is that?
A very well-balanced review 👍
Here in the UK also things are pretty similar, except the distances.
Everything is true, we also face everything, but we decided to comeback Canada after one year but I guess this is good decision specially for kids
How is it good decision for kids? Her kids will be unemployed in India. She claims education is good in India, but where are Indian universities ranked? No Indian university comes in top 400 in world rankings. Reservation system in India controls job opportunities. I can guarantee her kids are going to curse her after they get old. She took a horrible decision for her own selfish reasons. Parents sacrifice for their kids, but in India people have kids to serve them.
I remember we had one chapter about canada in our school text book, literally praising everything about this country
Ma'am, you have rightly said its a matter of one's individual temperament, priorities, expectations, and domestic conditioning. I know from experience of living in Canada, China, Japan and Sweden for over 25 years, your take would have been the same in any EU or American country. Of course, all sorts of handymen and cleaning services are available at a single phone call, but they're expensive which is why everyone keeps a tool kit and does most little things themselves. Only for complicated stuff we call professionals. If you can forget the maasis back home, these can be great countries to live in. Think again!
mam padhai india ki the best hai till any level, compare it to any level, jut that the system needs to be updated and faculty needs to be upskilled on a regular basis, its economical rugged and tough
This is the classic case moving to a developed country with developing country (or better say thirld world) mindset. And top of it, abundant resources available just to try such several months tourism!
Very informative and practical vlog. Can you please shed some more light on your job and average earnings vs expense given that i feel thats one of most important part in determining and justifying ones stay in Canada.
Very true every word you said I have my bro there same Kayani no job fixation basement he’ll remember one thing bus mai layak ke jana imp you toook great decision I like your video 😊
I am living in Canada for the last 25 years. You are 💯 right. Thinking to spend some time in my home country. After retirement working for 25 years you may get old age benefits of retirement and pension about 950 cad dollars after age of 65 . Your medicine become free. Wait time in Emergency about 7 to 8 hours in Toronto and GTA. The 950 dollars are a help for bill payments. If you have mortgage you can not survive. Comparing Canada to USA , one can find job easily in USA.
Well explained ❤
Its so nice and humble of you to share your experience. May god bless you
🙏🙏
I wish all of my relatives move to Canada so i can have some peace in India.
2 months are too less.u should stayed for atleast 6 month or a year for adjustment.
India may not be the best Country but i love India and will never think about leaving my Country.

It’s true I can relate this place is very difficult to survive not only financially but emotionally u feel depressed.
You nailed it Sonia, me and my family of as been living here for about 17 years and yes we have been through it all, so I could actually feel the clock turning as you spoke. I would like to add one thing though which you are right about that, if you are planning to come and start now, it definitely is not the time to come, 17 years ago was a different time and I can also tell you that we feel the pain yet even now to make ends meet. Honestly, life was good until a few years ago but now the value is declining to a great extent, again as a disclaimer this is my personal experience and would probably apply differently to different individuals. In short, as you said, if you are doing well somewhere else, don't hit the axe on your own feet by coming here.
