Just a note: From Robert Lloyd George: Chairman, Lloyd George Investment Management, Hong Kong
"I expect that China will be 25 per cent of the world capital market within the near future. India follows close behind. Some 90 per cent of IPOs in the world are now taking place in emerging markets rather than in Europe or the US. Before 1800 China and India were the wealthiest nations in the world and by 2020 it will be true again."
How do you define wealthiest? Is it going to affect the quality of life for middle class family? How about the health care costs/inflation/social services/pollution/gridlock/infrastructure/government services/corruption? I believe your definition of wealthiest might just based on numbers and does not take into account the overall quality of life.
This is always an never-ending discussion about what is better? Living in India with lots of disposable income but with a compromise on quality of life or living in Canada with little or no disposable income but better quality of life. It is about finding your personal sweet spot.
The other factor being discussed other than quality of life and income is aging parents here. Some are going back or planning to for this reason. Also a very personal decision.
I had to leave my canadian PR because the present processing time to call parents to Canada is too long. We cannot wait for 6 - 7 long years to be united with parents. I think agng parents is one of the most important reasons for people to come back
hi ,
Moving back to india is a very big decision and regarding people who say good thing and bad thing about Canada I tell them one thing, life is a game some people win some loose.
The only way to lose the game of life is not to play. When you actively play the game, you gain skill and experience (and hopefully gold as well). Keep playing, and you’ll eventually build yourself a level 10, level 20, level 30 character. Just make sure that when you hit level 30, you aren’t still fighting level 10 monsters.
What would an experienced player say to a character who sits on the sidelines, complaining incessantly about how hard it is to earn gold, how evil the monsters are, how unfairly experience points are doled out, how nobody is a good teammate, etc? I imagine the response would be something like, “Nooooooooooobbbbb! Quit whining and go play!”
What happens in a game when you experience a setback? If you’re a good sport, you’ll see it as added challenge. Good players don’t whine when the chips are down. When the game gets tough, good players rise to the challenge.
The game of human life may eventually end when you die, but in the meantime enjoy yourself while you’re here. Life is supposed to be fun. Get out there and go play! Tackle some of those compelling choices you’ve been avoiding, accept the consequences, and grow from there.

Thanks folks. As I mentioned in the first post, Canada has done a lot for us and we appreciate it very much. And thanks to the Canadian real estate boom (and with some early payments) there will be some cash on hand while returning. Back in 2007, we bought a house in India. That issue is taken care off. Kids are settled in school in India, so no hassles. It was a matter of time that I have to move. Once moved, I will take time to look for jobs, with large civil engg firms so that I dont have to deal with govt staff.
I have sold most of the stuff, giving away rest. I am shipping four boxes to India that has used kitchen stuff, swaters, sleeping bags, etc. In the end will walk out with two suitcases and a backpack.
