Heard on average it cost around $25000 just to have a child in the US. NO thank you going into debt just to have a kid. Here in Canada free no matter what. Also rather be free then availability. I dont rush to the hospital because of minor sickness like everyone else here does then complains about the wait times. Also dont put myself in dangerous situations to get myself hurt. Some people are so scared about death or wanting attention just go to the hospital for the dumbest reasons. Had someone on my facebook say they had a flu and had been waiting 6 hours in emerg then whined about it. I told them to go home and stop abusing our system thats the reason for wait times. The amount of people that were supposably so sick during covid that they were willing to leave the house and potentially spread their sickness to others just to get told they were sick and to rest. We as people are actually retarded. Any way to get off work and get tested for covid just so you can tell people you have covid like really people. Also not true about weather there are like 7 to 8 states that are way colder then us right now and over the winter then us here in Southern ontario. Maine, Montana, colorado, washington state usually are way colder during winter months and also get alot more snow. Its crazy how we have a sterotype here which yes is true but not for a majority of Canadians. More Americans live in Colder areas combined then Canadians in all of Canada. Meaning more cold Americans then cold Canadians how ironic.

You say you can raise a loving normal family and live a happy life in the USA but no Canadian in their right mind would bring or want to raise kids there because of how many school shootings there are… it’s just absurd. In Canada this is un heard of and would never ever cross our minds as something that could happen to your child.

do you think you took the decision too early? i mean 2-3 months is too early to give up? i think kids safety would be 1st priority for me personally in comparision with few years struggle! You may have faced something different i am not aware of though!!

Angela Lansbury moved her kids to Ireland to get them out of life-threatening situations in America.

I live in BC..raised 4 Kids...if there was a serious health problem, We saw a Specialist in just a few Days..

You are right but I am in Canada. Your kids are safer in India than here in Canada. Your kids are away from drugs, which is big problem in Canada. Overall, India is better than Canada, Canadian are selfish and want to take advantage of immigrants.

Depends on hands you landed on.' The motive that brought you here' the focus in a foreign country' the effort you put to change your destiny too to live a better life. Usa and canada is a place of education and business to grow. What is in your mind? There re alot of kenyans living great life in usa and canada. Those who follow ghetto behaviors like them we found' they copied those behaviors and their life become worse than in kenya. Again power of choice. I am a single mom living in usa. Brought kids here saw them through education and they re doing good. Your purpose will drive you to your desire. Many voices will be heard but life in foreingn countries is not bad. Some people go back home and after few years come back. Why is life is that bad

Its such a good video if everyone who has roots from India will understand it….then Golden days of India will be back…..Be it which ever religion we follow,I hope people will start it from small acts……start respecting Indian Flag….start educating our kids what we used to learn Hindu Muslim Sikh Isayi hum sb toh hai bhai bhai…..as well as songs which used to promote love for our nation and people of our nation should be promoted again. Problems are there but its not for one community its for every community in India but they can be solved. \nRight now fights in Hindu Sikhs Muslims Isayi and other communities is because of fear created in our mind for each other. Even i will not lie now even I have a sense of Fear from people from other communities as its engraved through so many actions that they might not see me as an Indian or as a human being first but treat me like someone not from their community or brotherhood.

Well, after watching the whole video, i get to understand that there has quality of life such as Safety & security of kids and family and an unpolluted environment & food etc. I think these are the main priorities of life, and about challenges that we all already know. And most importantly, eventually most kids will grow up & will be interested to settle outside so you had a huge opportunity as a family to stay together and settled down. Initial, 5/10 yrs might be struggling but then everyone gets the pay back what they've worked for several years. Drugs & culture is a real issue that's for sure.

Main reason....Fuc*in WOKE CULTURE....they're attacking your kids !

Completely agree with you. I spent 6 years in Canada and quit. Both me and my husband are highly educated but had to end up with minimum wage jobs to begin with. Winters are brutal. 2013 we experienced minus 40 with snow storms !! And keeping urself PACKED in ur home for months is extremely depressing. Medical facility inspite of being free is a joke !! You are better off getting basic medicines from India. They want to fix everything with Tylenol, that too such low potency that even 20 pills will not make any difference. And just 1 crocin in India and you can run a marathon next day. Education too is pathetic. They need a calculator to add 5 +5 !! Here 6 yr old kids do mental mathematics on 4 figures in their heads !! No university in Canada can even come close to IIT'S, IIM'S and IISC ever. 12th std math and science here in India is probably taught to engineering degree students on Canada. Moreover only Asian kids like Indians, Koreans Chinese kids ever reach university level education the rest are dropouts and busy with sex and drugs and temporary jobs to fend for the same. Mind you there is a lot of racism in Canada. Most whites hate Asians as they think that we have 'snatched' away their jobs !! They don't like it when we end up buying own homes within 2 to 3 yrs of migrating. Grocery is expensive. Commercial dairy products are high on hormones and other chemicals. It's crazy how many women there have issues with their reproductive organs. Hormone related obesity, diabetes is rampant. As she said only if you go there thru a company on projects ect it's alright. Else there is no place like India in every aspect.

I don’t know why your video popped up in my suggestions, but it did. It’s very inspiring to hear of all the things you’re working towards, but please find some time to rest and see a doctor. Do it for your kids, your family, and most importantly— yourself. So you can continue to achieve dreams and goals and see your kids grow up. ??

Lady first think Canada population compared to India zero .. in Canada USA highest crime for kids ok .. check crime details then talk .. bad for India

Madam cars stop when a school bus is offboarding kids as this is traffic rule in canada which is explained while getting learning license (G1) in Canada and those who do not follow it get very high challan tickets...that is why everyone follows it...and it has become so called culture now...baaki jisko rules todne hai wo bewakoof yahan bhi wahi karte hai...

sab kuch khud nahi karna hota hai, bas electrician, plumber etc are very expensive. ikea se lena hai you can get an assembly service done, all help is available, but you have to pay a lot of money thats all. also university education is better in india. safety in india is more, thats nonsense. the amount of crime, mugging, shooting, rash driving is horrible here in canada. This is what happens when you live for a short period of time. the truth is very different. the milk is no where close to the stuff we get in india, health care is terrible, aur yeh free ka chakkar omg is horrible, most kids get exposed to drugs. in india its illegal.

YOUR KIDS ARE VERY UGLY >>>>>>> CHMAAR TYPE BACCHE HAIN WHY ??????

Those poor kids

Yes it’s not easy but to earn money and have good life for our kids need sacrifice.

U actually know that Cananda Or other country is far better than India in all fields... Still u make these kind of vlogs to de motivate people... U guys were blessed to get the PR and got a chance to settle ur kids... But u are a LOOSER.. An absolute looser

You will regret when you kids ask you to send them as a student May be. Indian educations are based on memorization. You can always go sent them in private school. Starting years are hard but you will make it. Even if you move to other side in India 2 months are not enough to settle. At the end where ever you feel happy

Seen your video first time...cant agree more...each and everything you said is pure truth..had stayed in Edmonton for 2 months..now moving with family..kids are grown up thast why decidid to do so

I remember as a young kid having a sense of belonging towards khalistan until my family members who actually saw the ugly sides 1984 taught me what was what only then was i able to actually understand why ppl hate on one another so much. You are absolutely right many sikhs at the agr btw 45-60 years old wanna scream and ask for khalistan whereas anyone above 75 would say otherwise.

Then turn Canada into a ulgy Indian immigrant slum country all them young born Canada kids will most likly never own a house in there own birth country to many immigrants everywhere in the market etc

Been in Canada for approximately 25 years. I can say that the effect that Canada has on a legal immigrant is neither here nor there. If you can make lemonade out of any lemon you’re dealt, you will thrive in Canada (and anywhere else where your efforts are not overwhelmingly quashed by corruption, blatant racism or other forms of segregation). \n \nLynn, I was a lecturer in Kenya, went back to school here in Canada after wallowing in culture shock the first year, then circled back to teaching in college again after an arduous journey in school, but this time in a different field. \n \nAfter becoming a single mother of four kids, I had to also hustle on the side to build a small business empire along my life’s ladder. Partnership with God, goal clarity, the get-up-and-go, and relentlessness truly work. It isn’t the size of the dog but the fight in the dog that does it, regardless of where you live. \n \nThe starting point for a new immigrant can be very low due to the weather, unpreparedness and culture shock, but if you know that the only way is up, and are self-motivated, those challenges are soon behind you as the tests become testimonies. \n \nBy comparison people have more human rights here regardless of their status. The wheels of justice grind slow but they do grind fine. Women and children have equal rights with men. Politicians are mostly there to serve not necessarily to exploit. \n \nOpportunities for self-development galore - including being trained to become employable and going to school at any age (sometimes for free while you are still at the bottom of the ladder). There are food banks so you never go hungry if it came to that. The disabled are better treated with dignity. \n \nThere are prolonged parental leaves for both moms and dads for up to 18 months. Commensurate with earnings, parents under certain thresholds are given Canada child tax benefits and other supplements for each child under 18 years of age. \n \nDepending on the number of kids and their ages, the money can add up handsomely. Not to mention that there’s no tuition to pay for primary and high school students. Tuition fees start at post-secondary level. \n \nTo see a doctor is free as it is paid for by taxes. It the meds that you and/or your insurance pays for. Some medical equipments may be paid for by either or both the individual/insurance and the government depending on eligibility. \n \nBy and large, there’s cleanliness of common spaces. There’s also safety and relative peace. At least wherever I have lived, I can’t tell you how many times I forgot to lock my door with impunity. \n \nThere’s a lot more stressful work here in my opinion, but like you said Lynn, systems work a lot more efficiently and effectively. \n \nThe elephant in the room is the extra hard work that those living abroad must put in to fulfil expectations back home. Also known as black tax, the overwhelming financial dependency of relatives on their diasporan loved ones places undue stress on many here, especially because there are no short cuts to getting money here. \n \nAnyway, Lynn, thanks for such a great topical issue you’ve shared. I have to stop here as I have written a lot. Hope this helps someone on this forum. \n \nAnd last but not least, you’ll be proud to hear that even though Canada has been good to me, my face may now be turning towards home to see how I can be of use to mama Africa. Super excited!

You should have stayed (in Canada) for your kid’s future. \nIndia has very little to offer for its young generation …. Corruption, pollution, poverty, lawlessness and youth unemployment are a few reasons why Indians should run away from India for greener pastures of western countries ?.

Born and raised in Toronto. I have lived here my whole life for over 50 years. The city has changed drastically and very rapidly. As my retirement approaches and my kids finish University, I am out of here. The crime, the cost of everything, terrible transit and roads that look like they have gone through a war. I live by the lake and we have homeless tent encampments and people living along the train tracks ( and this is the suburban part of Toronto, by the Rouge valley) These are only a few of the reasons why Toronto has changed for the negative ( and I do not see it getting any better)

Lucky you , you did not stay there in the winter or else you would have committed suicide ??.. only job in the winter is to pee come back & watch TV & blow every day snow from the drive way … yes every day ? but I do not live in Canada, I have many family members living there I keep going there as well , I am settled in the US .. but the so called problems of yours in Canada is the same here in the US as well but for me these are the things I love love out here …. Particular about timings , no one comes home without calling , every one is of same standard, kids don’t have to study like donkeys day & night … ( for what ) … out here to have a RV, a boat , suv , saloon car , a bike for summer ride are within every ones reach … at-least that was all my dream … I live in a city yet I have a private 1/2 acre private plot whereas in Mumbai I will have to be a film star ?? here there is no hanji hunji .. I hated the most …out here anywhere we go we take our token number & we are looked after accordingly lastly out here in the west the most amazing thing & the most important thing in life is .. let’s say your business is lost or your job is gone your neighbour’s don’t care you can start from scratch again .. In India one has to commit suicide ????

I have same silver chain you are wearing..did you buy it from png..I am facing similar situation like you…last 10 din se I am feeling so depressive crying like helll… agar ghar se bahar chale jao weekend pe then you are ok but we spend alot for indian veg food restaurant in London…but hum ko habbit hai India ki trah weekends pe bahar khane ki but paisa Pani ki trah beh raha yahan London mai agar aap bahar achey restaurants mai khatey raho ..kaam hota nahi hai when you are depressive…jabkj Mainey India mai Covid ke time se maid hatta di thi still m struggling…yeh toh sahi kaha India mai studies bahut achi hai my daughter is 5yrs old n India mai ussey nursery mai online classes thi Covid k karan but still itni poems learn Kara Di thi Maine yahan uk mai school of kids matlab enjoy karo BAs ..struggle hai sab Khud karo chaltey raho as humne abhi car nahi liya hai coz we r also confused rukna hai ya nahi..job bhi easy nahi hai milna ..yeh mere Dimag mai bhi rahta hai weed n all… mai Pune mai thi mera koi circle nahi tha wahan bhi …mera native place himachal mai hai wahan bhi koi nahi aa pata tha humare ghar dur hone ki vja se..but yaHan aa ke India ko itna miss karna Woh Khalipan sahi kaha apne jabki hum Akele he the Pune mai mujhey laga ki Humara yahan bhi Kon hai chalo chaltey hai but nahi mai Galat thi u start missing India ki vibe online sab aana ..life is very easy in India 8months ho Gaye London mai still missing India ?? like crazy…yes London is very beautiful Indian food is amazing here sab milta hai yahan …but India toh jaan hai

While settlement in Canada is hard, packing up to go back soon after is even worse. While it’s a good country to come when you’re young, it’s hard for old people to adjust, especially the weather.\n\nI feel you got tired too early, just because you had to do all your work yourself. This is way of life in most countries and I’m surprised you didn’t know.\n\nFor sure you overlooked your kids’ future by refusing to sacrifice a few things. For them it would have been worth. Besides, you overplayed the fear of drugs in your mind.\n\nWell live where you are happy instead of taking rash decisions to upset lives.\n\nGood Luck

Pls when filling visitor visa form with your family that is your spouse and your kids...Can the proof of fund under the form of the main applicant and the spouse form be the same amount..or Can you write the different amount for the main applicant and different amount for the spouse..please answer me,i am confused?

Mam you came back and telling about kids safety, now I will tell you that now they r teaching at school now a days what is LGBT and how to recognise about your self, may be you are boy and how to feel if you feel like a girl, and kids are free to feel like that. And also teaching how to use drugs, even they provide kits to use drugs free of cost at school, so if you want that kit so you can have that. Canada is good for only elders , just to earn money and come back to India.

Kids are safe in Dubai also

U got job over there, u got driving license over there, ur kids got school and good co curricular over there,u had good relatives over there, u got good land lord over there, ur kids were safe over there….IRONICALLY u stayed JUST 2 months over there.. arey har jaga time to lagta hai adjust hone mein… u r so so lucky u have any idea people are coming back because they are struggling like really hard… aap wadas Kyu aa gye ??

Seems like a kindergarten out there kids playing around

Sikhs are not khalistanis \nKhalistanis are not Sikhs they are just sick\n\nWe are proud of our true Sikh brothers who have sacrificed enough to protect our motherland .\n\nHowever all Sikhs and punjabi need to unite again to fight this disease of khalistan and migration to Canada. \n\nLet's make Punjab so much developed that no kid should think about canaddaaaa anymore. \n\nKindly choose the next government which is in alignment with the central.... government ...... maybe that's the key\n\nJai Hind\nProud Indian ????

The part pf this documentary that talks about 5 students' bodies being shipped back to India just seemed to go right over everyone's heads. These kids' lives all ended and were victims if this system. Hello Justin I am one of your supporters. Please do something about this so their deaths by suicide are not in vain.

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.

You are correct to some extent. But major part that Sikhs left India was the extremists period of 80s to 96 when Sikh kids were being slaughtered by then government. Be it by agencies police brutality. KPS gill period. Sikhs went abroad to save their children, though they never wanted to leave their motherland.

This guy is simply saying to forget about 1984 and all sikh genocide done by Government because it was done years ago. \nI want to remind you Sikhs are most polite community and at the same time they can not forgive for the madness done by Indian Government that easy. \nAnd what about Beadbi of Guru Granth Sahib. It might be a normal holly book for you. But for sikhs it is living Mentor. \nWe can not forgive the Indian Government who Killed thousands of Sikhs including 2 year kids which were killed by Indian Government when they entered Golden Temple. \nWere 2-3 years old kids were also terrorists ???

I moved to usa in 2014 after leaving a good paying job in Kenya. Honestly I don’t regret it my kids are thriving especially with free education and good health care. Financially am never broke. I’ve invested in kenya comfortably. We can also comfortably afford to vacation outside usa. Meanwhile my former colleagues in Kenya even with pay rises they still get broke struggling with school fees and medical needs haven’t invested and can’t vacation outside Kenya. I moved to a cheaper state in usa where the cost of living is affordable. If you move to usa avoid expensive states.

If person goes without jobs and with family and kids finds difficult to manage. Person learn independent life.

1. I'm a ??can who moved to Europe 22yrs ago through recruitment agency - the employer paid for my professional REGISTRATION with the nursing board, for my work authorisation permit before I even left, sent me a written 2 yr work contract, the flight(return), a taxi pick up from airport & accommodation for 2 the 1st weeks bnb.\n2. I had worked in ?? for 15yrs, 3 diplomas and a post grad degree, I and had bought myself a small property 4yrs into my career on a 60% government subsidy.\n3. I was in a management position for over 7yrs. \n4. Looking back now, the people I went to college with got millions of Rands at age 60 for their retirement pension. \n5. I am waiting to be 65 for a mere €32 000 retirement lump sum and a weekly income of about €400 plus. \n6. I bought myself a small property after renting for 9yrs here, it was not easy to raise funds while paying rent which is HALF YOUR SALARY, but it was worth it. I still have a balance on my bond which my pension lump sum wont even shift\n6. The regrets I have is that:\ni) I missed out on family, friends and christianity quality life, \nii) I spent too much money flying home every yr and sometimes 2 X a yr to keep my sanity and to bond with my family - adult kids and siblings & now grandkids\niii) I could have had a fair and equal opportunities to improve have more accademic and work status in my own country than in a foreign land & my experienced would have been not only recognised when it suits the employer, but it could have been openly VALUED and NURTURED if I was serving in my own country\niv) I could have retired 3 yrs ago and had a paid up bond and a nice retirement car\nThe POSITIVE side is that: \ni) I have a property in a good area that I can rent out for extra income \nii) I have enjoyed travelling around the world and living in A relatively SAFE COUNTRY for over a decade.\niii) I have come to realise that - \na) There's no place like home - we often take for granted, the standards of practice and quality of education and customer service and the advancement in technology both in both education, work and BANKING in our countries untill we travel and live abroad\nb) it is easy to bring your expertise & work ethics abroad and work like and educated slave for a small price\nc) I have come to realise that, Half the time, most of Our stories as a nation are told by someone else, and the world keeps the narrative going.

I came to Canada as a Bachelor Mechanical Engineer, I have been here in Canada for 22 years. This is not Canada that I came for, under any circumstances I will not raise my kids in this corrupted and toxic environment combined with dangerous life in Toronto. I’m in the process of moving to a different country and I will never come back. The time to fix the damage caused by the liberals will take years and years. There is a twist happened in the culture and will get fixed. The mental health system is broken! My advise leave Canada before one day you will need a medical help. Because you may die here due to the last of medical care! Too bad !

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

Birds of the same feathers fly together,mmetembea hii kanairo kweli place ata kupata ksh 200 for food ni ngori?? Manze uko na kids,rent ndo hiyo,food,sch fees alafu mnasema tusikuje Canada?? If we survive here in Kenya ata huko we will survive. Tunakuja kukuja ..hapana tambua,alafu prezzo alisema mambo ni matatu,uhame kenya,uende jela ama uende mbinguni,ata kama ni wewe si heri uhame tu

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.

Stop making babies, it's like if I had 7 kids and sent them to Sweden to take care of them

I grew up in Toronto from 1999-2014 it has definitely changed so much, everyday I think about moving back down but it’s not a good place to raise kids anymore.

If i got a close work permit for 1yr can i apply for Pr after one that one yr? Can my spouse apply for a open work permit on the basis of my closed work permit? Finally will my kids be entitled to school when am on a closed work permit.\nThank you

A country, where health care and education are free, in not bad at all. The minimum wage may be low, but you won't have headache for receiving care you desercve when you fall sick. Unlike other fake big country Canada doesn't expose people to this challenge. Neither your kids won't have a mortgage of education on their shoulder after finishing college, which can skrew them up and jeopardize their credit in not finding a job to repay their loans; this is one of the factors that prevent an inividual from social mobility. Keep in mind, one will never have everything he (she) wants in life that has been never easy.
