Thanks for the information. Hope we will be in the same flight. I will be flying Toronto-Dubai/Abu Dhabi- Chennai (You can PM me for the exact date).
As an acocuntant, you may know that one thing that will follow you is the Tax. You still way have to pay a total tax as if the money was earned in Canada but then you will not get any welfare or CCTB from the Govt.. This was the major factor which made me to cancel my transfer to Indian operations by my company in Canada.
I hope that you negotiated free housing, free car / pertrol, free driver /maid, free school fees. If you did not, then it is a bad (money) deal.
All the best in your journey and please keep us updated !
L&P

After 12 long years in Canada, I am moving back to India in a couple of weeks. I was offered in internal transfer to my company's operations in India and decided to re-immigrate back to desh.
I have been a member of this forum since 2004,a great source of information to me and I thank all for the help, advice and support.
Take care and all the best to all.

I hope you recently went on a vacation to India for at least a few weeks before taking that decision. My personal view is that the more you live in North America, the more difficult is to return, adapt and then stick with your decision to stay in India.

I wonder if such advices are needed anymore when people decide to relocate to India. It is really not that big a deal to permanently move to India these days. Everything you get here, is available there. Kids get to stay with extended family. If phoren land offers monetary help, India offers psychological support.
Personally, many of my friends who have returned back are happy with their decisions. Only thing that can make you unhappy is your work environment. If you have found a job that you are satisfied with, everything else gets into right place.

There are a lot of things that can make you unhappy like long hours at office and commuting, 6-1/2 days of work, lack of discipline, lack of respect to fellow humans, lack of value for a human life, overpopulation, pollution, extreme corruption and so on.

Hi raj
I dont think work environment will be an issue for me as I will continue reporting to my current boss and I know pretty much most of the people whom I will be dealing with over in India. The only issue is late hours for conference calls, which I hope I could work with by starting late.
But, I think I am ready for the challenge.

I will second that for sure ...pollution, unnecessary tension, environment related illnesses will reduce your life by 10 yrs as compared to living here. I grow asthmatic in Delhi within 3-4 days of stay there and used to spend 5 days a month in cold/flue/watery eyes, nose, sleeplessness when I was in India. All those illnesses have vanished since I came out , do not remember when i fell ill in last 5 years. Even my mom who came to me in swiss when I was working there felt healthy and could do trekking with us and in India she cannot walk a km because of heavy breathing. We used to think she got asthma, now we know she got location and pollution based problem. Health of skin is another problem we faced in our family which is cured naturally on a shift.
Another reason I wont go there is mosquitoes. you can secure your house from them, install ACs , nets what not but they are everywhere!.
Health is Wealth.. I know people say you can fall ill anywhere but probability and reasons for that is more in my motherland.
Contaminated water, Extreme heat, friction-ary Work culture, packed up Roads, cities, lack of mannerism, power cuts (beyond the limits of gensets or inverters), anger in people towards each other, stray dogs, water shortage are other factors.
No I am not India basher, I love India for many many other good reasons and it is my vacation destination for sure, but would like to have utter compelling reasons to move back. I hope one day I'll find them like initiater of this thread or others did ...
happy journey friend.

This is typical India bashing though u refuse to admit. If u hate India so much, why come on this forum or have desi friends? There are so many goras you can tag along. And I am not being sarcastic.
Every situation is different, be it me or Timon or whoever. Those who left don’t want to come back, that’s ok, we all understand. We have more than a billion people now. Discouraging others to come back to India thru India bashing is wrong.
