For those that want to move to Canada

As a Canadian who moved to the US because my husband's career stagnated due to an old white boys network mentality, I'd say Canada is not necessarily more progressive than the US. My husbands career has flourished here in the US. The US is a better place than Canada for highly skilled and ambitious individuals for a bunch of reasons. Canada is too closely tied to UK culture and that negatively colors their attitudes and views toward Indians. It's a colonial mentality. The Canadian immigration system is woefully out of step with the Canadian market place/economy. While potential immigrants are screened for education, professional skills and fluency in French or English, once they arrive and start looking for jobs, they are told they need Canadian experience. I think the US is a more merit based society. You are more likely to get hired on your skill set, not your nationality or skin color, at least for desis.

I have experienced hardly any racism living in the US compared to Canada. Here is a simple example. Last year we went on holiday to Banf in Alberta. I came out of my hotel room and saw the maid and asked for extra towels. She asked me what room I was in, followed me to the room and had me open the door before handing me a fu%king towel. Yeah, thats right, I wander the halls of random hotels masquerading as a patron in order to steal towels! I have never had an experience like this in the US whereas, growing up in Canada, this kind of policing or indifference in the service sector is not uncommon. I know of more substantial income and livelihood examples of racism too. American South Asians don't get to be the highest income minorities unless there is an accepting climate that supports this. I think the US does a much better job of utilizing the skills of immigrants than Canada. Canada still has a ways to go to offer equal opportunities to second generation desis. My only caveat is that the private sector appears to have done a better job than the public sector but if you're using that metric, the US is the bigger economy with more jobs and opportunities. All this is great for driven, educated immigrants to the US, but if you have an kind of deficiencies, it's very much a sink or swim environment and I'd say Canada is better because of the social safety net.

This is so true, i work with a Canadian Lankan and he says US is far better, as they moved for more  opportunities and better life for kids . At the same time, he is also of the opinion that Canada is still better than going back to south asian countries.
