Should I move to Canada


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm a senior in high school, before I begin. And an Indian citizen.

 

I've been living in the United States for the past 14 years now. I've gone through elementary, middle, and soon high school here. I'm gonna go to college and graduate in America. And yet after all this time, I still haven't gotten my green card or citizenship yet.

 

I am currently on an H-4 visa. My parents are in H-1B I believe. And being on this visa, especially for so long but especially now, sucks. Just absolutely sucks. I can't work, while all of my friends are working and earning money. In the college application process I am an international applicant even though I've lived here in America 95% of my life, which means higher application fee and less chances of me getting in because of my international tag. And in college, being on H-4 means internships are most likely not going to happen. And as a computer science major, this will probably kill my career before it even begins.

Now, I might switch to an F-1 visa because they can work and do internships. But I don't even know if that will happen, and it seems unlikely. And, I'll have to change my own status once I turn 21. Our date isn't current on our green card, and my parents have told me that our chances of even getting on are pretty slim. So, with all this into consideration, should I move to Canada? After graduating college, should I move over there, become a permanent resident and eventually a Canadian citizen? I really wanna stay here in America, but seeing what's happening to me, I'm scared about not only my own future, as getting a green card, at least for my family, seems unlikely, but also for my own kids, who might go through what I'm going through. It's super frustrating, seeing others get their green cards and citizenships and not getting our own, even after we have loyally stayed here for almost 2 decades. It'll be almost 20 years after I graduate college, and I truly don't think we'll get it then too. It's a grim situation.

TLDR; should I move to Canada to gain Canadian citizenship after graduating college? Currently a high school senior on H-4 in America.

Canada vachina em maaradu until and unless PR vachevaraku. For your age if you are getting PR, yes, move to Canada, get citizenship and then move back to US on TN visa for work.

 

If you are not getting enough CRS points, buy the PR by spending CAD$35000, then the rest will follow.

 

The best option is marry US citizen, no status problems at all.

Considering a move to Canada is a big decision, but it can be incredibly rewarding. I remember when I made the leap a few years back. It was nerve-wracking, but I found resources like https://www.movingtowinnipeg.ca/moving-to-winnipeg-from-toronto/ super helpful. They offer great insights into Canadian cities like Winnipeg. I can't speak for everyone, but my experience in Canada has been amazing, and I've met some of the kindest people here.
