US dream shattered, Indians find greener pastures in Canada

美国梦破灭，印度人在加拿大发现“更好的前程”

HYDERABAD: After waiting in vain for decades to obtain permanent residency (green card) and realise their ‘Great American Dream’, many Indian families are relocating to Canada. Reasons: Ease of entry, better career opportunities and convenience of settling down. Rough estimates suggest at least 20,000 Indians make this migration — from the US to Canada — every year.

海得拉巴：为了美国获得永久居留权(绿卡)，实现“伟大的美国梦”，许多印度家庭等待了几十年，结果却是徒劳。现在他们开始移居加拿大。原因：容易进入，就业机会更好，安顿下来方便。粗略估计每年至少有20000印度人从美国移居到加拿大。

“I went through at least six H-1B visa extensions since I joined work. I was living in constant stress,” said Dinesh Dasari, a native of Hyderabad, who moved from Maryland to Toronto this July. This, after a 14-year-long stint in the US. The solutions architect said his career had stagnated because of the delay in getting a green card. “A person’s green card petition is stuck to the employer. This makes it difficult for you to switch jobs,” said Dasari. “Even moving to a managerial position is difficult because employers are sceptical about grooming and investing in a person who they are not sure will be able to stay in the country,” he added.

今年7月从马里兰州搬到多伦多的海得拉巴人达萨里说：“自从我在美国参加工作以来，我至少6次延长了H-1B签证。我一直生活在压力之中。”这是他在美国呆了14年之后得出的结论。这位解决方案架构师称，他的职业生涯已经停滞不前，因为迟迟没有获得绿卡。达萨里说：“绿卡申请和雇主挂钩，这让你很难换工作。”“即使是升到管理职位也很难，因为雇主们对培养和投资一个他们不确定是否会留在美国的员工持怀疑态度,”他补充道。

The immigration of thousands of Indians comes at a time when the community has been lobbying for the passage of the Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2019, better known as S386, in the Senate. The bill seeks to end the cap for job-based green cards in the US. Currently, there is a 7% cap on Indians for issuing a green card every year, creating a huge backlog.

印度裔社区一直在游说参议院通过《2019年高技术移民公平法案》，该法案更广为人知的名称是S386。该法案旨在取消职业移民绿卡申请国别配额。目前,印度申请人每年的配额上限是7%的上限，导致积案巨多。

Canadian application process much easier: NRIs

加拿大移民的申请流程简单得多

There are approxmately 9,00,000 Indians (holding H-1B, L1 and H4 EAD) in the US. When people ask me if they should stay or move, I always suggest the latter,” said immigration attorney Rahul Reddy of Reddy & Neumann, PC, adding the express entry to Canada has made it possible for people to get PR in less than a year. “People can simply apply online without even consulting an immigration attorney,” he said.

在美国，大约有90万印度人(持有H-1B, L1和H4 EAD签证)。移民律师Rahul Reddy说：“当人们问我他们应该留下还是离开时，我总是建议后者。”。他还补充道，加拿大有快速疫苗通道，申请人可在不到一年的时间里获得永久居留卡。“人们甚至不用咨询移民律师，可以自行在网上申请，”他说道。

Dr Mohammad Khan

I have a Canadian PR card, so please read the truth about Canada. I applied for Canadian residency from Saudi Arabia and got it in 8 months. However, after going to Canada to check for jobs, I found most Indians working in coffee shops (Tim Hortons) or at a gas station (petrol pump) or working in car repair shops as mechanics. Most of them have good degrees from India like bankers, engineers and even some doctors. Other Indians were found driving taxs or working as plumbers or electricians. Racism is extremely high in Canada, even though you wont see it openly. Jobs are scarce, and Canada is under heavy snow for 8 months of the year.

我持有加拿大永居卡，我从沙特阿拉伯申请的加拿大永居权，花了8个月就拿到了。

然而去加拿大找工作，我发现大多数印度人都在咖啡店(Tim Hortons)或加油站工作，或在汽车修理店当修理工。

他们中的大多数都拿着印度高学历文凭，之前在印度的职业是银行业者、工程师，甚至是医生。

还有一些印度人在加拿大开出租车、做水管工或电工。

加拿大的种族主义现象还是非常严重的，尽管在公开场合比较少见。

加拿大的工作机会稀少，而且一年中有8个月都在下大雪。

People will leave india and settle anywhere and everywhere in the world. They will be happy with the racism , third grade treatment, but will not stay in India. 5he sole reason being pollution, unclean people and poor infrastructure.

人们会离开印度，到世界各地定居。他们将对种族主义和三等待遇感到满意，但不会留在印度。唯一的原因是印度污染严重、印度人不讲卫生、基础设施糟糕。
