Hi there,
I am a chemistry graduate, aged 44, and married with two sons of aged 17 and 15. My application for PR is in the final stages of apprtovel and I want to come to Canada before the end of 2004.I have worked 20 years and saved equivalent to Can$ 100,000. This will leave us with some residual family property worth Rs30 lakes for an eventual retirement.
My elder son has passed HSE (12th class) with 92%, wants to study engineering from a Canadian University, while the younger has entered in to 11th class.
During these twenty years, I have worked at various places in India and abroad, and .I missed the children. My wife is a BA never worked, used to divide her time to manage two homes -one in my native place for children and another wherever I used to work.
Our mission to Canada is- to live together under one roof during the last phase of the children’s education, before they pursue their professional career with there globally recognized education.
Considering all the negative information that is available on CD, we are ready to take risk of immigration to Canada .We are ready to finish off all that money, if required to complete their education (elder one wants to study engineering co-op while the younger to do Medical/bio sciences).
I would be grateful to the members if they could give their suggestions , how to start this journey and to play our roles in this game, even if it is losing one in your opinion?
You may please consider that I don’t get any suitable job and both my wife and me prepared and to do the survival jobs during this period. Please note that we have no ambition to make extra money.
Dear Rajuu,
Well, If you are mentally ready to coming here and ready to face problems in initial days for your childers education then NOthing to worry and go Ahead with your mentioned plan.
Your childerns can also earn money as part time student job during education and they also eligible after one year Interest free loan for education with sufficient pay back period.
Good luck.

Hi,
Looks like you have decided on your priorities. By the same token...I dont think it will be a losing game for you. A cpl of close relatives have done the same as you. One in the US and another in Toronto. Both have lower-end jobs (though the wives are doing quite well...one is a nurse and another is the secretary to the president of a major corp). Both are from the gulf and absolutely love their lives here.
Maybe you can also look into purchasing a place in order to build your assets(instead of your landlords).
All the best!

Your mission seems to be the education of children. You also have enough saving of $100k. Then why not just send kids for undergraduate studies in US/Canada instead of uprooting the whole family and coming to Canada. Sounded like eventually, you want to return to India to retire.
Take the Canada PR , land, leave the first kid here, return rest of the family back to India, in a year send the second kid. Of course they can work to supplement your savings for education.
How does that sound?

Anil, OTN, Maybe you guys didn't notice this in Raju's post.
And I agree this is the right way to go. My only advice is don't resign yourself to a labor job only. You never know, you may land a decent one after landing.
Can't hurt to start with "Great expectations" so long as you're prepared to deal with the worst-case scenario.

Are you there?
BL,
No, I didn't miss it. I just don't agree with the premise of "living together under one roof .... last phase of ... education."
I just have real problems with parents who thinks that kids need to be "baby-sit" while they are going to College. The part of growing up is becoming independent and making own decisions and owning up to them.
That is what missing and result is bookworms, uncompromising, no respect for labor jobs and the class system at work "I studied engineering, I should be doing only engineer jobs." and whining attitude when they don't get something when they have to work for it.
Sorry, but if they really have best interest of their children they will let them grow up to be man/woman not babies.
