This is at Canada Place in Downtown Vancouver.
I moved to Canada from Dubai on the 24th of March 2009.We had done our landing earlier in July 2006 in Toronto.
Now that I am finally in Canada , I really don't know what is the advantage of me coming here. It looked like a good idea at the time of applying for the immigration.At that time my life in Dubai was really average nothing great but when the migration finally came through i was doing really well for myself and then all of a sudden the migration did not seem like a very good idea.
Pesonally I feel that only intelligent well focused people should migrate. One needs to understand very clearly what is the objective for the migration and once one has figured that out then one should also be prepared for what he or she is perpared to sacrifice to achieve this objective.These should not be based on loose fickle minded reasons like Canada is beautiful or the people in Canada are nice or sometimes people migrate because they want to match someone else in the family who has migrated.
From what I have gathered so far the real advantage of migrating to Canada is if one come here when one is just out of scholl or college or one has children who are young . The reason I say this is because for some weird reason our Indian education and Dubai experience is not really recognised here.It is only when one studies in Canada and passes out of a Canadian university that one is recognised in Canada and for that matter even in the US and many other parts of the world.
The bottom line is come to Canada if you wish to do your further studies or to educate your children or if you have the money to start a small business.
Apart from this one can still succeed but the first 3 to 4 years will be a real struggle.It will either make you or break you.It is even more depressing when one comes from a place like Dubai where one was doing really well like I was.
