Nice video.... I have seen your Canada videos also, I can say one thing for sure, you are more happy in India.. You have that actual wali smile now and there is a positive vibe also in your videos now... Happy for you guys...
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...😊
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 ,
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
@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 ❤...
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.
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.
@@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.
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 🎉🎉
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.
Dear Brar 7047 , India meh thum Modhani say 5 Kg. free ration be lay sakthay ho . 81 crore DeshPremi beggars ye 5 kg. free ration lay rehay hain . Bharat meh aap thabi Success ho agar aap jootay ore be-imaan ho . US , Canada ore UK meh aisa nehi hai . They respect honest and hardworking people .
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.
Hi ma'am I am working in health care sector here a senior billing executive In charge and posting domain of R1rcm which is noida (India) Is there any scope for me in Canada if I will plan to relocate over there with my husband as he is also in same field with me.
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.
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.
Jana he kyu hai wha Jake restro mein ya kahi jhadu pocha se best hai yahi raho India mein wo kal gira hua lgta hai wha sala sab bahar Jane k chkr mein wha yehi kam kar re hai koi driver hai kuch bat kamane ki kama k kahne ki wo yha bhi karlo hadd hai
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.
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.
@@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
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.
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.
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. 😢😢
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 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❤
I am Dhirenkumar Shah, living in Mississauga Ontario Canada, since more than 18.5 years, and FEELS like she had given a VERY BALANCE REVIEW! Me and my wife did not have a PERMANENT FULL TIME JOB TILL FIRST 13 YEARS!!! YES, THIRTEEN YEARS!!! I am a Since Graduate and able to communicate WELL IN ENGLISH but still it took LONGER THAN I HAD EVER THOUGHT! Anyways, since last 6 years I have permanent full time job with better pay which I am able to manage our 2 person / Husband and Wife family with single income as our life style is not EXPENSIVE but the below average expences! But in this video what SHE SAID "IF YOU HAVE A BETTER JOB WITH BETTER INCOME" THEN YOU ARE BETTER IN INDIA! I AM 100% AGREE WITH HER. AND I AM ALSO THINKING TOP GO BACK TO INDIA AFTER OUR RETIREMENT IN 2025 JANUARY because there is NOONE TO TAKE CARE AND SPARE TIME FOR YOU IN YOUR IMMERGANCIES!
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 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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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 .
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.
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.
I arrived in Canada when I was 5 and been here for almost 50 years. I think people forget how much the original folks struggled. You hardly found an Indian store and were discriminated against. I think you made some valid points Canada is heading in the wrong direction and we need to blame the government. We don't even have affordable housing or Healthcare to support the increase in immigration. These no name colleges are making money at the expense of poor students. These students then have to work in low paying jobs. I really don't see any scope for some of these students. Think twice before coming to Canada because even I am thinking about leaving this country now...high taxes and it will only get worse!!
We too came here in 1975, and my parents faced the same struggles..one thing that was different compared to today is that families got together on weekends. Weekends were to recharge after doing all those hours at work. There was a sense of community and purpose. That feeling of belonging seems faded away. My wife are exploring other countries like portugal, panama, costa rica, etc.. Tough life for these new immigrants
@@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.
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.
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 🙏 Anwarnayani
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 👍💕
I don't understand logic of this video, it's simple thing, if you moving to another Country you have to leave your comfort zone. She just can't leave her comfort zone.
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.
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.
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.
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
@@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.
Here is the reality of Canada, experienced by both native Canadians and new Indian immigrants: No matter what your education, there is an extreme shortage of jobs for highly skilled workers. The result is that Canadian and Indian graduates work in minimum-wage jobs for all of their life. Rents are rising at 15% to 25% per year, but wages are barely rising at all. It has now reached the point where people are starting to live in their cars since they can't afford to pay the rent. Even 4 people living together and splitting the cost is not enough to afford the rents that are now being charged. Health Care? What health care, there is none in Canada; if you get sick you just might die waiting 24+ hours to see a doctor at the hospital.
My daughter went their in Winters for study and came back within 2 months. She find canada not worth living due to various difficulties she faced. Again I cannot say its a good or bad country. It always depend many factors.
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.
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!
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.
Very high cost of living in Canada is a big problem for new immigrants. Monthly cost in large cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary: rent for a 2 bedroom flat is 1.5 lakh rupees, cost of food (3-4 people) 50,000 rupees,1 bus/train pass 9600 rupees, 1 mobile phone 6000 rupees. How much will you able to save?
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.
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.
Canada has become “Land of Hardship “ . Employment is hard to find to match your qualifications. There is no job security. You could be fired without proper explanation. Discrimination is always there though not openly. Specially in higher positions. Houses have become unaffordable. Food costs are rising every day. Waiting times in hospitals emergency is too long and getting worse. For surgery you have to wait months. My brother died by falling from stairs in his house while waiting for knee replacement surgery. Things are not getting better at any time. After working hard all your life when you retire your pension is not enough to live a comfortable lifestyle. With inflation your retirement becomes “hand to mouth “ life. After spending almost all my life in Canada my brother and friends in India have become much richer, happier and healthier than I am today.
So go back to India and enjoy your life with your family members there. Why pushing yourself harder to stay in Canada when you have so many complains 😂😂😂😂India is better option for you , to settle. Jis Thali mein khate ho , usee mein ched kerte ho. 😂😂
@Whirling1Dervish, it does not.. if u r educated and live in tier 1 or 2 cities in India, u r good and sould be able to secure a job. I live in Canada we came here almost 15 yrs ago when the basic salary was $11 per hr. We got a 2 bedroom rental apartment in 3 months at $1200 in a wonderful neighborhood in Toronto. ( not a basement). But pls understand cut to today base salary is $16.50 (at the time of writing in Ontario) but the cost of rental for the same apartment is $2900 + utilities. So it is difficult to meet ends if u r trying to settle new. Ppl who have been settled for a while with even 5 figure salary per month feel the pinch today.
You are absolutely correct. Each and every word is correct. My sister is in Canada. She faces all the pbs which you said. And she said education is much better in India than Canada. There will not be any exams . So kids won't study properly. For simple reports we have to wait for some months. Getting job is sooooo much difficult. When you can be fired you can't say. No job guarantee
@@ramasreechandra5230 That's why you sister is still in Canada 😂She said bad about Canada to protect herself and her family from relative's bad and evil eye. Nazar na lag jae, isliye buraee zaroori hai. But still she is in Canada and enjoying her life 🤣🤣
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.
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.
@@iyer33 A Fool has proved himself 🤣🤣🤣,by his decision to stay in kachra country. It's not next door mohalla, where you will be called by relative on dinner 🤣🤣

U guys r cheap frauds who try to paint a rosy image to idiots in india. Ul never be half as rich as half the rich families here 'kaneda' cheapo. Fk off 😂🤭🤭🤭. Got it 'moorkh'? 🤭
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.
Struggle is there without maid and house help initially but if have the willpower it will work out ,you at-least got job within a few months if u had did some courses it would work out . I got job only after an almost a year. I never wanted to stay in basement and it’s very cold and u will get sick We need both husband and wife to get things done and manage things .Thats where u missed out on. U at-least had relatives there we don’t have anyone here . I had my kid also here alone in hospital no help. I am not saying it’s easy nothing will be delivered on a platter here but it’s better than India freedom, lifestyle,groups community and more over value for life.Try again if u want and get a condo or apartment at-least next time.I always loved winters and once u know how to dress and what precautions to take winter is very beautiful. So if anyone is coming to Canada please be open minded and keep in my mind it will take at least 3-5 years to settle in a different country and you can lead a happy life here.
This is one of the perfect videos that explains why any Indian should think twice before moving to USA or Canada. I live in USA and can relate to this.
With all dues respect Ma'am, you guys laid down your guards even before playing the game. Even when you join a new Job, it requires atleast 6 months to gel with your environment.
I came to US at a young age - it is a sacrifice for the parents.. but your kids will eventually make a great life for themselves. It is hard to settle here in your adult life, if you are use to the comfort of india. I felt your loneliness… cause when I moved here there was no internet yet and no whatsapp, so couldn’t even talk to our relatives. Thanks for your honest viewpoint. You covered a lot with good detail!
Very honest opinion & factual, Indians go there & struggle just to obtain 1st work Passport, but if you are well settled in India with good income, you can still travel the entire world & live in comfort in India, cause if you have money you can make your homes comfortable as per international standards, only struggle is bad roads & traffic.
@@TheSereneWanderer87 "Only struggle? Roads are the most important [...] doesn't mean you are living a peaceful life." ===================================================== *I AGREE with you.* While EVERY country, EVERY place provides advantages and disadvantages, being a "middle-class" or an "upper middle class" person in a developed country is better than being the same thing in an under-developed, indisciplined country.
Making comfortable homes with international standards but day today challenge isn’t just traffic and roads, common man deals with zillions of crises even after paying heavy taxes like education, health care, discipline, pollution, hygiene and safety which is just impossible to maintain for a country like India due to ever increasing population and corruption
@@TheSereneWanderer87 bro, if you will visit india recently ,india has similar roads like that now too , i have visited usa , & not all roads are good same way india has some roads best & some average too , some metro cities like ahmedabad even is better than las vegas now ,come & visit ,the biggest problem with usa is gun violence , usa is also known as united shootouts of america, thousands of innocent people dies due to it , nobody is sure when they will ge tshot , the problem with usa is people there are lonely & depressed so they pick up a gun & start random shoot outs killing innocents for no reason , yesterday shoot out in maine was there & 22 innocent people lost life for no reasons .usa is highly unsafe country .
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!!!!
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.
@@shreepanickero really! The abuse continues for the domestic help (brought from India) even here in the west Just read the many stories that have been reported of passports being hidden from the help The sheer divide between rich n poor in india is unfathomable
It is the other way around. There is very less struggle in developed nations compared to India because society as a whole is lot more honest than India
Very Very good video ❤❤ Feels luke you are talking in real , candidly and genuine. Just like a friend on video chat. Well organized video and amazing video ❤❤❤
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! 😊
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
@@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.

100 percent correct. Canada is very small economy as compared to India. Jobs are small and they need to fill up low salaried jobs with immigrants. Best of luck to you.
It is actually bigger economy per Capita than India. This results in better standard of living, law enforcement and freedoms. No decision in the world is 100% correct.
I’m here for 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 and many people are moving back including our group
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.
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
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..
We live in usa since 28 yrs, We are ok as our whole family is in abroad, but We recently took a trip to Canada, in Brampton and we were shocked nothing to put down but we felt it’s India except fee things, as everywhere u see Indians, employees are Indians, jn my uncle’s street 99% were Indians, my cousin told me in his class all students are Indians even the teacher and there were some more things that I can’t explain in words, because during childhood when we took trip to same place we felt we came to Canada but not anymore, I think Canadians are tired of Indians they mostlyhave diff ares where most Canadians live and areas where Indian community and we felt lucky we are only traveling here, so it’s better to live in India instead…
We live in usa since 28 yrs. Since nahin. For. In this case, for use hogaa. We have lived in the USA for 28 yrs OR We have been living in the USA for 28 years. Aapke bakwaas grammar se lagtaa to nahin hai aap USA mein 28 years se reh rahe hain. 😅
Hello Mam, sorry I didn't get your name. I went there in 1986 and was there for 25 years. It all depends on your circumstances and background. If you are professionals and earning well there is no need to go to Canada. The first generation has to start from zero. It is a lot of struggle, but the future generations will enjoy the fruit of your hard labor. There are positives and negatives for both countries. Atleast there is no corruption there, whereas there is corruption almost everywhere. Justice system is so slow that if you file case it may not get results in your lifetime. All in all it is all upto the individual person and his or her personal circumstances.
Milk in North America is famous for being chemical smelling (because of the feed given to cows). You are the first person I've seen from outside North America who "liked" the quality of milk in Canada. Recently there was news that the melting point of butter in Canada has changed because farmers are now adding palm oil to the feed of cows and the fat profile of butter has changed, along with its nutrition. Not to add that the breed of vegetables, fruit and meat in North America are watery and large sized which have very less flavour.
Nice Vlog, yeah I can totally understand . I live in America and here even small things we have to do by ourselves it’s very hard when you are sick then nobody is here to help you , you have to cook cleaning by ourselves and no other help . And you have to assemble all furniture by ourselves. Really I love my India 🙏
@surabhisvlogs304" Nice Vlog, yeah I can totally understand [...] have to assemble all furniture by ourselves. Really I love my India 🙏" ======================================== So, move back to India. 🙏🙏
It was good 15 years back. Now all messed up here in Canada, Most of the colleges surviving on international students and offer very basic courses which you can do in India in 3 months and get a certificate.
You are not making any sense. People come to Canada to get a job in Canada and college degree in Canada helps. Indian education maybe best, but that does not get people to Canada.
I am here in Canada since last 5 years and I am vegetarian I agree with you …you don’t get option here that’s why you have to pack your food while going to anywhere here
Depends your definition of vegetarian. If you eat eggs as some veg. do then there is no problem. The western egg and cheese omelettes are unbeatable breakfast items. I cannot get anything like that in India. Pancakes are fun too.
अपना देश अपना मुल्क अपना होता है❤we must be emotionally rich..... अपने देश मे भी रोटी है...... अपने लोग है,family hai.... nears dears...we must be happy थोड़ा है थोड़े की जरूरत है.. जिंदगी healthy happy है tou sab अच्छा है..😊 मेरे तीन relatives..... depression मे रहे......
Simple : If you have your own house in a big metro city , household income : 2.5 lakhs a month , at least 1 household help and age 30 + . I firmly believe you are better off in India . Now if you are younger, no money no hope and not much education . Canada is your home.
Nice video.... I have seen your Canada videos also, I can say one thing for sure, you are more happy in India.. You have that actual wali smile now and there is a positive vibe also in your videos now... Happy for you guys...

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
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 😅
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.
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
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 ,
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.

I agree with u.i justed shifted from punjab to Tamilnadu and facing lot of problems.
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.
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!!
You should’ve stayed home
You should return to India!
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.
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.

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.

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 ❤...
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.
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.

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
Hi ma'am
I am working in health care sector here a senior billing executive In charge and posting domain of R1rcm which is noida (India)
Is there any scope for me in Canada if I will plan to relocate over there with my husband as he is also in same field with me.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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

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.
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. 😢😢
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 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...

I am Dhirenkumar Shah, living in Mississauga Ontario Canada, since more than 18.5 years, and FEELS like she had given a VERY BALANCE REVIEW! Me and my wife did not have a PERMANENT FULL TIME JOB TILL FIRST 13 YEARS!!! YES, THIRTEEN YEARS!!! I am a Since Graduate and able to communicate WELL IN ENGLISH but still it took LONGER THAN I HAD EVER THOUGHT! Anyways, since last 6 years I have permanent full time job with better pay which I am able to manage our 2 person / Husband and Wife family with single income as our life style is not EXPENSIVE but the below average expences! But in this video what SHE SAID "IF YOU HAVE A BETTER JOB WITH BETTER INCOME" THEN YOU ARE BETTER IN INDIA! I AM 100% AGREE WITH HER. AND I AM ALSO THINKING TOP GO BACK TO INDIA AFTER OUR RETIREMENT IN 2025 JANUARY because there is NOONE TO TAKE CARE AND SPARE TIME FOR YOU IN YOUR IMMERGANCIES!
Hi,Diren! How did you manage to stay in Canada for 18 years without fulltime job😧
Your English is still imperfect.what sort of permanent job are you in
😢
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 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.
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.
I was born in Canada 48 years ago and I might have to leave because the cost of living is so much now!
Sorry to hear this
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.
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 .
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
Totally agree to your views.i was in canada for the last 3 years.Beautidul experience except the cold bititing in winter .
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.
I arrived in Canada when I was 5 and been here for almost 50 years. I think people forget how much the original folks struggled. You hardly found an Indian store and were discriminated against. I think you made some valid points Canada is heading in the wrong direction and we need to blame the government. We don't even have affordable housing or Healthcare to support the increase in immigration. These no name colleges are making money at the expense of poor students. These students then have to work in low paying jobs. I really don't see any scope for some of these students. Think twice before coming to Canada because even I am thinking about leaving this country now...high taxes and it will only get worse!!
We too came here in 1975, and my parents faced the same struggles..one thing that was different compared to today is that families got together on weekends. Weekends were to recharge after doing all those hours at work. There was a sense of community and purpose. That feeling of belonging seems faded away. My wife are exploring other countries like portugal, panama, costa rica, etc.. Tough life for these new immigrants
True 👍
@@dalaov5258 yes very true. Families got together more
please go back where you belong
Don't you wish Canada and USA were one country?
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.
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.

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🙏
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...

India is different now ,it's 2023
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.
Here is the reality of Canada, experienced by both native Canadians and new Indian immigrants: No matter what your education, there is an extreme shortage of jobs for highly skilled workers. The result is that Canadian and Indian graduates work in minimum-wage jobs for all of their life. Rents are rising at 15% to 25% per year, but wages are barely rising at all. It has now reached the point where people are starting to live in their cars since they can't afford to pay the rent. Even 4 people living together and splitting the cost is not enough to afford the rents that are now being charged. Health Care? What health care, there is none in Canada; if you get sick you just might die waiting 24+ hours to see a doctor at the hospital.
you should return to India
My daughter went their in Winters for study and came back within 2 months. She find canada not worth living due to various difficulties she faced. Again I cannot say its a good or bad country. It always depend many factors.
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.

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.
Very high cost of living in Canada is a big problem for new immigrants. Monthly cost in large cities like Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary: rent for a 2 bedroom flat is 1.5 lakh rupees, cost of food (3-4 people) 50,000 rupees,1 bus/train pass 9600 rupees, 1 mobile phone 6000 rupees. How much will you able to save?
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.
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.
Canada has become “Land of Hardship “ . Employment is hard to find to match your qualifications. There is no job security. You could be fired without proper explanation. Discrimination is always there though not openly. Specially in higher positions. Houses have become unaffordable. Food costs are rising every day. Waiting times in hospitals emergency is too long and getting worse. For surgery you have to wait months. My brother died by falling from stairs in his house while waiting for knee replacement surgery. Things are not getting better at any time. After working hard all your life when you retire your pension is not enough to live a comfortable lifestyle. With inflation your retirement becomes “hand to mouth “ life. After spending almost all my life in Canada my brother and friends in India have become much richer, happier and healthier than I am today.
So go back to India and enjoy your life with your family members there. Why pushing yourself harder to stay in Canada when you have so many complains 😂😂😂😂India is better option for you , to settle. Jis Thali mein khate ho , usee mein ched kerte ho. 😂😂
1st paragraph - pretty much matches with India .
@Whirling1Dervish, it does not.. if u r educated and live in tier 1 or 2 cities in India, u r good and sould be able to secure a job.
I live in Canada we came here almost 15 yrs ago when the basic salary was $11 per hr. We got a 2 bedroom rental apartment in 3 months at $1200 in a wonderful neighborhood in Toronto. ( not a basement). But pls understand cut to today base salary is $16.50 (at the time of writing in Ontario) but the cost of rental for the same apartment is $2900 + utilities. So it is difficult to meet ends if u r trying to settle new. Ppl who have been settled for a while with even 5 figure salary per month feel the pinch today.
You are absolutely correct. Each and every word is correct. My sister is in Canada. She faces all the pbs which you said. And she said education is much better in India than Canada. There will not be any exams . So kids won't study properly. For simple reports we have to wait for some months. Getting job is sooooo much difficult. When you can be fired you can't say. No job guarantee
@@ramasreechandra5230 That's why you sister is still in Canada 😂She said bad about Canada to protect herself and her family from relative's bad and evil eye. Nazar na lag jae, isliye buraee zaroori hai. But still she is in Canada and enjoying her life 🤣🤣
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.
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.
Great video. Realistic, narrated as things are without sugar coating or toxicity. Kudos.
India may not be the best Country but i love India and will never think about leaving my Country.
No one is calling you from Canada 😂😂😂stay happily in India .
@@moorkhonkojawab7118my relatives from Canada called me but I said Canada is a country for fools.
@@iyer33 A Fool has proved himself 🤣🤣🤣,by his decision to stay in kachra country. It's not next door mohalla, where you will be called by relative on dinner 🤣🤣
@@moorkhonkojawab7118'Nobodys calling you' & kachra country. Yea thts why canada is begging n importing millions of immigrants every year!!! Go fk urself & ur fmly too and try ur tricks on someone else. We hv ppl who can buy ur wife,daughter and full family on a monthly or daily basis. New scene here moorkh. U guys r cheap frauds who try to paint a rosy image to idiots in india. Ul never be half as rich as half the rich families here 'kaneda' cheapo. Fk off 😂🤭🤭🤭. Got it 'moorkh'? 🤭
A fool thinks that all others are fools, that is the case with you, India has removed 41 Canadian diplomats, that is the power of New India.
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.
Struggle is there without maid and house help initially but if have the willpower it will work out ,you at-least got job within a few months if u had did some courses it would work out . I got job only after an almost a year. I never wanted to stay in basement and it’s very cold and u will get sick We need both husband and wife to get things done and manage things .Thats where u missed out on. U at-least had relatives there we don’t have anyone here . I had my kid also here alone in hospital no help. I am not saying it’s easy nothing will be delivered on a platter here but it’s better than India freedom, lifestyle,groups community and more over value for life.Try again if u want and get a condo or apartment at-least next time.I always loved winters and once u know how to dress and what precautions to take winter is very beautiful. So if anyone is coming to Canada please be open minded and keep in my mind it will take at least 3-5 years to settle in a different country and you can lead a happy life here.
Absolutely
This is one of the perfect videos that explains why any Indian should think twice before moving to USA or Canada. I live in USA and can relate to this.
🙏🙏
With all dues respect Ma'am, you guys laid down your guards even before playing the game. Even when you join a new Job, it requires atleast 6 months to gel with your environment.
I came to US at a young age - it is a sacrifice for the parents.. but your kids will eventually make a great life for themselves. It is hard to settle here in your adult life, if you are use to the comfort of india. I felt your loneliness… cause when I moved here there was no internet yet and no whatsapp, so couldn’t even talk to our relatives. Thanks for your honest viewpoint. You covered a lot with good detail!
Very honest opinion & factual, Indians go there & struggle just to obtain 1st work Passport, but if you are well settled in India with good income, you can still travel the entire world & live in comfort in India, cause if you have money you can make your homes comfortable as per international standards, only struggle is bad roads & traffic.
@@TheSereneWanderer87
"Only struggle? Roads are the most important [...] doesn't mean you are living a peaceful life."
=====================================================
*I AGREE with you.*
While EVERY country, EVERY place provides advantages and disadvantages, being a "middle-class" or an "upper middle class" person in a developed country is better than being the same thing in an under-developed, indisciplined country.
Making comfortable homes with international standards but day today challenge isn’t just traffic and roads, common man deals with zillions of crises even after paying heavy taxes like education, health care, discipline, pollution, hygiene and safety which is just impossible to maintain for a country like India due to ever increasing population and corruption
check out roads in gujarat , better than usa roads, ahmedabad has 135 flyovers no traffic , how much new york has flyovers ?
@@TheSereneWanderer87 bro, if you will visit india recently ,india has similar roads like that now too , i have visited usa , & not all roads are good same way india has some roads best & some average too , some metro cities like ahmedabad even is better than las vegas now ,come & visit ,the biggest problem with usa is gun violence , usa is also known as united shootouts of america, thousands of innocent people dies due to it , nobody is sure when they will ge tshot , the problem with usa is people there are lonely & depressed so they pick up a gun & start random shoot outs killing innocents for no reason , yesterday shoot out in maine was there & 22 innocent people lost life for no reasons .usa is highly unsafe country .
@@TheSereneWanderer87 handful of experience doesn't show that whole india scenario is like that ,usa is big shit too .
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.
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.
Absolutely! ye papa ki pari hai!
@shreepanicker she obviously means she values the househelp more. You don't have to be rude in replying.
@@shreepanickero really!
The abuse continues for the domestic help (brought from India) even here in the west
Just read the many stories that have been reported of passports being hidden from the help
The sheer divide between rich n poor in india is unfathomable
Appreciate your true & in-depth review about it. You've covered every aspect of life in it. Thanks a million for the same.
Canada is burger India is biriyani..enjoy the flavors!
canada is rotten burger .
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🙏
Being in India is best, too much struggle outside🥰
It is the other way around. There is very less struggle in developed nations compared to India because society as a whole is lot more honest than India
Very Very good video ❤❤ Feels luke you are talking in real , candidly and genuine. Just like a friend on video chat. Well organized video and amazing video ❤❤❤
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! 😊
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.
100 percent correct. Canada is very small economy as compared to India. Jobs are small and they need to fill up low salaried jobs with immigrants. Best of luck to you.
It is actually bigger economy per Capita than India. This results in better standard of living, law enforcement and freedoms. No decision in the world is 100% correct.
@@ppen8359USA has lifted Canada's economy on its shoulders otherwise, it would fall.
I’m here for 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 and many people are moving back including our group
come back to india if u r not feeling happy overthere
I agree
Well said. 100% true
India is great. Our culture Is greatest!
Excellent, all Indians should return to India, Canada is for Canadians not Indians
Ur son asking how to hold the fork🙂... that was so sweet....nice to hear ur honest opinion!!!
🙏
Bahut badhiya review. No adulteration. Unprejudiced and unbiased!
🙏🙏
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.
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
Excellent video..this makes me say proudly again "Mera Bharat Mahan"!
You describe everything beautifully
Very nice to educating the public. Heart touching language here after listening to your beautiful mother tongue..Dhanyavad.Khush raho ji.
Totally agree on your analysis....we are here in Canada and still fighting :) for better opportunity
I been in Canada 37yrs still thinking about going back
Yes do it, you should go back to India
Forget now
@@rameshghadge9997 what does that mean
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..
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 🌹
I left Canada too, Now chilling in Sikkim !
We live in usa since 28 yrs, We are ok as our whole family is in abroad, but We recently took a trip to Canada, in Brampton and we were shocked nothing to put down but we felt it’s India except fee things, as everywhere u see Indians, employees are Indians, jn my uncle’s street 99% were Indians, my cousin told me in his class all students are Indians even the teacher and there were some more things that I can’t explain in words, because during childhood when we took trip to same place we felt we came to Canada but not anymore, I think Canadians are tired of Indians they mostlyhave diff ares where most Canadians live and areas where Indian community and we felt lucky we are only traveling here, so it’s better to live in India instead…
Brampton is a ghetto!
We live in usa since 28 yrs. Since nahin. For. In this case, for use hogaa.
We have lived in the USA for 28 yrs OR We have been living in the USA for 28 years. Aapke bakwaas grammar se lagtaa to nahin hai aap USA mein 28 years se reh rahe hain. 😅
Completely agree with whatever ur saying whether it’s education or life it’s too depressing.
Hello Mam, sorry I didn't get your name. I went there in 1986 and was there for 25 years. It all depends on your circumstances and background. If you are professionals and earning well there is no need to go to Canada. The first generation has to start from zero. It is a lot of struggle, but the future generations will enjoy the fruit of your hard labor. There are positives and negatives for both countries. Atleast there is no corruption there, whereas there is corruption almost everywhere. Justice system is so slow that if you file case it may not get results in your lifetime.
All in all it is all upto the individual person and his or her personal circumstances.
Who said there is no corruption? Canada is corrupted.
Honestly, no one leaves only compulsions,perhaps no job
opportunity. No one will say I
was kicked and abused besides
colour discrimination.
A very well-balanced review 👍
Here in the UK also things are pretty similar, except the distances.
Very good ma'am nice 4 it experience 4 share & welcome in our India ❤😊
Hey really enjoyed your blog 😂. I am living here in Canada from last five years. That’s true facts of life , good decision 🙏
Good sarcasm 😂😂
Milk in North America is famous for being chemical smelling (because of the feed given to cows). You are the first person I've seen from outside North America who "liked" the quality of milk in Canada. Recently there was news that the melting point of butter in Canada has changed because farmers are now adding palm oil to the feed of cows and the fat profile of butter has changed, along with its nutrition. Not to add that the breed of vegetables, fruit and meat in North America are watery and large sized which have very less flavour.
Wow
Hey bhagwan
amul milk of india tastes better ,also no taste of fruits & vegetables in canada .
Nice Vlog, yeah I can totally understand . I live in America and here even small things we have to do by ourselves it’s very hard when you are sick then nobody is here to help you , you have to cook cleaning by ourselves and no other help . And you have to assemble all furniture by ourselves. Really I love my India 🙏

Good thinking, best supporting talking about your experience .
Allah bless you and bless your family.
Thank you so much
It was good 15 years back. Now all messed up here in Canada, Most of the colleges surviving on international students and offer very basic courses which you can do in India in 3 months and get a certificate.
You are not making any sense. People come to Canada to get a job in Canada and college degree in Canada helps. Indian education maybe best, but that does not get people to Canada.
I am here in Canada since last 5 years and I am vegetarian I agree with you …you don’t get option here that’s why you have to pack your food while going to anywhere here
Depends your definition of vegetarian. If you eat eggs as some veg. do then there is no problem. The western egg and cheese omelettes are unbeatable breakfast items. I cannot get anything like that in India. Pancakes are fun too.
That’s garbage. You can get vegetarian everywhere. You are choosy that’s the problem. What you want, thepla in Tim Hortons?

Simple :
If you have your own house in a big metro city , household income : 2.5 lakhs a month , at least 1 household help and age 30 + . I firmly believe you are better off in India .
Now if you are younger, no money no hope and not much education . Canada is your home.
