In the US if you have a decent job, the health care insurance premium is taken care by your company, atleast a major part if not the complete thing.

...........apparently the 'grass on the other side is always greener'! :cheers:

Oh and for what its worth, the right spellings for 2 words in your diatribe are 'decision' and 'discrimination' ;)

I would say that manjeet's post is a good one ... MINUS the spelling mistakes:cheers:
and it again proves that US has much more opportunities.Such a job with this Hinglish!;)
I also met one US guy at Chandigarh( long back when I also did Oracle DBA ) where he had come to learn Oracle. He did not know much of computers and still he was earning good money. He was plain and open about it. the point is not to be jealous....It is US.
My question elsewhere still remains unanswered....
Anybody providing info on prospects of:
1. CFA
2. Insurance Course of US Insurance Institute ( Fullprogramme similar to CIP program of Canada).... can it get an entry for Canadians

1. Owr own countrymen: Yes, our fellow indians who come to canada in hordes, most of them illegally, seeking refugee status. Most of them are uneducated and paint a very bad picture of India. I refuse to be a part of that crowd. Not to say they indulge in illegal activities and act like holigans. Indians in the US are educated and you will rarely find anyone indulging in illegal activities. Infact they are considered to be one of the most peace loving communities.

US made the same mistake in the seventies and eighties by letting all the uneducated mexicans and puerto ricans enter the country (legally and illegally), now they are paying the price. Hispanics down there are a pain in the butt of the law enforcement agencies. Indians here in canada are on the same path.

Cheers,
Manjeet




Are you for real? You speak about racial discrimination in your post and then you spew this non-sense.. you have some serious issues...

2. Racial Descrimination: Another prominent reason. I've lived in the US for about three years and never came across a single incidence of racial descrimination against Indians (I'm not talking about blacks and whites here). The Indians living in the US are highly educated maintaining one of the best living standards possible. I've spent a little more than a year in canada and have numerous examples when I have been racially descriminated (both at work and on the streets). Candians cannot fathom the excistence of an educated south asian, thanx to our indian brothers again. To many people it might not make a difference, but to me it does and that too a big one.




:D. I agree with bxmca's observation. Complaining about racial discrimination while perpetrating it in the same breath!

And btw, I've lived and worked in the states for longer than I have been in Canada. And I would disagree with both the points.

The desi community in Canada is actually much better than the snobbish one in the states. And although its not as affluent, I think it is equally cultured. It is also much better integrated into the society than in the states.

I'd also have a hearty laugh if someone told me the the Canadian society was more racist than the U.S. one.
