I want to migrate to canada should I go canada? |
Travel Info Hi I will finish my BSc in Computing and Information Systems next year from university of London Metropolitan. I am an East Indian person and a very friendly person as well and I treat everyone with respect. I live video games a lot and stuff like that. But I would really like to live in a first world country because it looks so great on TV. But anyways can anyone tell me if its worth it? I mean does canada have racial issues with people from India? I read on this site www.notcanada.com they say canada isa rcaial place and never go there and people with degrees drive Taxis and stuff. Is any of this true or is this site a fraud? And will I have a great life in Canada stating I work hard at it. I really would want to marry a white woman as well. I find they look so beautiful with their green and blue eyes and stuff. So can anyone help me out with answering these questions? thanks. Travel Tips As a Canadian, I guess I'm rather biased in answering, but it's a fine country in which to live. Compared to England, Canada is MUCH larger, and the distances between places are wider (Canada is roughly 60 times as big as England, and with half the population!) However, it's also a very multicultural country. In cities like Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver, there are large populations of immigrants, and there are many East Indians in southern Ontario, in Toronto and the surrounding area. It wouldn't be fair to say that Canada is entirely free of racism, since there are always going to be a few idiots in the mix and some people have bad experiences, but by and large people are very accepting and welcoming. For example, the city of Mississauga (just outside Toronto), has nearly half of its population born outside of Canada, and 40% is non-white. There are similar demographics in the city of Brampton, where almost 20% of the population is of East Indian descent. (And these are both cities of over a half-million people!) I think you'd find it to be a very welcoming country indeed. Of course, there are many other places to live, many more diverse climates, cultures and surroundings - you can do a lot of research on the provinces and decide what you'd be looking for in a place to live. If you want to live on the ocean, you should look at the Atlantic Provinces or British Columbia (BC is much more diverse than Atlantic Canada and there are likely more jobs there, but Atlantic Canada is a lot cheaper to live in and easier to find a home.) If you want to live in the mountains, look into Alberta and British Columbia. (Alberta's economy is doing very well right now and there is a high demand for workers.) If you want a rural lifestyle on the plains or prairies, look into Manitoba and Saskatchewan. There's really something for everyone. Anyone who's willing to work hard here has a decent chance at a great life. Crime rates are lower than in the US, there's a wide net of social services provided by the government (healthcare coverage, free education to high school, and many provinces subsidise university education as well to keep costs low for residents). But yes, it is true that foreigners with high-level degrees can get stuck in menial jobs. Foreign doctors with degrees from their home country have some difficulty in getting certified to practice medicine in Canada, and consequently wind up working menial jobs (like driving cabs or working as janitors), but that's an issue that many provinces are investigating, since Canada has a great need for qualified doctors. This, of course, does not apply to people with degrees from other first-world English-speaking countries such as England, Ireland, the US, Australia, New Zealand or others - those degrees usually transfer here very easily. If you're coming from the University of London, you shouldn't have any problems. The United Kingdom and Canada are very close, and the educational standards of England mirror ours in Canada. Hope that helps with (almost) all of your questions. Can't help you with finding a woman, though. ;) Source(s): A lifetime of living here. Other Travel Tips There are thousands of people from India living in the Vancouver area <Canada is no more racist than other countrys.. I am in a marriage with a Filipina i am Canadian The Olympics are comming in 2010, Come for a visit to see for yourself See tourismvancouver hellobc.... Lived here 67 years Geesh, why come here? Its freezinggggggggggg! With all due respect to the very thoughtful answers already posted, there's really a bottom line issue here which is relatively simple to answer. The number, weight and magnitude of opportunities in the USA far outweight what's available in Canada as are the range of climates which you may find more comparable and compatible with what you're accustomed to in either London or your home country. If your desire is to advance yourself to the highest potential, there are tens of thousands of companies in the USA compared to what you'll find in Canada. It is a known fact that the Canadian's complain about how they lose their best and brightest college graduates to the USA every year, this has been the case for many decades. Many of Canada's major companies are, in point of fact, American in origin, for example, their entire automotive industry, pharmaceuticals, oil industry in Calgary and Edmonton, the lists are endless. Canada's population is spread from East to West, mostly within a 50 mile wide ribbon patterned on the old railroad system. The total population, with the corresponding needs that go with it, is less than that of California alone. And I don't have to tell you what a blonde, blue eyed California girl looks like, I'm married to one. California's National Guard exceeds the entire military of Canada, that's just one State. The same is true of their economy, it is dramatically larger than Canada's by many millions. Their GDP places the average Canadian worker at $10000 less than their counterparts in the USA and they are taxed at a much higher rate. As a result, you will have far less spendable dollars in your net paycheck. Most goods will cost you more here and you'll be paying GST & PST, often 14% on almost all purchase and services. This means simply that even if the cost of an item is in parity, your up front tax will mean more money out of your pocket. Canada's main trading partner is the USA, nearly 85% dependence. Canada is the US' largest foreign supplier of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, and electric power Thus these are the major sources accounting for Canada's wealth. Check your World Fact Book to do some real comparisons https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/fac... Obviously, in a country with over 300 million people, there will be more crime. But make no mistake about it, Canada has been experiencing more crime as they've tried to adjust to increased immigration. And while Stop Canada is, as you have observed, an angry person, his related experience is shared by many who find themselves driving taxicabs or working in sawmills, their PhD's doing them no good at all. My Canadian roots go back right to the Revolutionary War and I was both educated in and have lived in both Canada and the USA..........there's just no comparison. But it's probably a lot more difficult to get into the USA as an immigrant although you seem to have the primary attributes that they are looking for in their point system. ou It's a difficult decision but you only get to ride this merry go round one time. Good luck. Added after your comment: Take a look at this comprehensive review, it's a firm in the UK that helps to expedite immigration; http://www.overseas-emigration.co.uk/imm...
