even though I got a job, I was not happy because I missed the other things about my job and life that I had experienced back home. My career for example had set itself back by almost 15 years. The Canadian who was my equivalent in terms of the year of graduation and quivalent to me in qualification holds the designation of "General Manager" in my company(not a small company with over C$3.5 billion in sales and an employee strength of 7000), something near what I was back home before I came here. That hurt and makes me unhappy. I miss the loss of executive authority, the respect and the heady power of governance that I had earned rising through ranks of management over the 15 years of work I had put in. That makes me unhappy. I miss my family and friends, relationships with whom had been built over a long time of sharing and caring. That makes me unhappy. And well, the list can go on. This is perhaps what they call "grumbling".
In essence what I am trying to say is that nothing is right or wrong. You come here, get a job, live here - you win some, you lose some! You go back to your old job, live back home- you win some, you lose some!
With similar (not exactly the same) circumstances in my case, I would say I couldn't have put it in better words and line of thought

Canada is a place for uneducated people and not for qualified immigrants. Never come to Canada if you are qualified and doing well in India or elsewhere. You risk your career, your children will be spoilt for sure and your family would breakdown. India where you can find no water, no power, no good roads - I would say is still a paradise on earth. There would be one in a million who would have got a dream job. Even this lasts for a short while. OOFFF CANADA.
Nair,
Why you are still in Canada then?
