| My Success Story - Albeit Of A Different Kind By: I2Landed I have now decided to share my whole experience with Canadian Immigration, from the initial unsuccessful attempt till the reapplication and landing in Toronto almost 10 years in a blog. Accordingly I have started writing in a blog, the first posting being about my initial application until the denial by Canadian Consulate General, Hong Kong due to misinterpretation of a simple sentence in a supporting document by the visa officer. In second one, I have written more about my life in general, especially about the 7 year struggle starting with the second application until the grant of visa by New Delhi Consulate and my landing thereafter. I had encountered almost every conceivable problems with the application process along the way, and I hope the way I dealt with them will provide some guidance to those who need it in future. article.php?id=678 |

Just read your post "Have Canadians Won Any Prize For Being The Friendliest People On Earth Yet" at your blog. Are Canadians really that freindly towards us Indians? Hard to believe, seeing how foreigners behave towards Indians in other parts of the world! What opinion do Desis who have first hand experience about this have? I am curious to know as a future immigrant.
Canadian who ? I am an Indian and Canadian and I am friendly with everybody.
Rather I see most Indians (and few other clans like chinese, muslims from third world) made with some rigid mould and not changing lose habits, cultural inhibitions, open mind thought process and also not changing a bit of accent to make oneself more readable.
who wants to approach a desi eating yellow curry in public place with his mouth open??? not me !! habit people !
I have also come across smart desis doing very well as they understood the rules of the game early ( I call them good actors to start with, and then eventually they become more canadians than desis but still friendly ).
if canadian here means natives and canucks...how many desis initiate a talk and try to break the ice with them ? ? we tend to look for people from our own community all the time. I am yet to come across an unfriendly canadian who did not talk to me because I am brown.
Sorry, we have wrong notions with in ourselves that is needed to be corrected first.

Would you care to elaborate your perception on Point #1.
On point #2, its funny. I'm thinking how should I eat a burger next time, I will look around to see how some one eats with a closed mouth...

My elaboration is that it is not perception what I wrote, it is reality. People immigrate but do not change..
When in Rome, Do as Romans do, if you cannot, then do not blame poor Romans that they are not friendly enough!
Point #2 its funny for sure, you open your mouth once to put the stuff in it, then close it and chew it, gulp it. Have'nt you seen people chewing with open mouth?
If you are yet to come across the term .. a link for you
