Why People are Considering immigration abroad?

Surprisingly, the number of individuals considering migration to economically better
off countries is on the rise sharply. People tend to leave their ancestors land where they were brought up, educated, romanced, played, worked and cultivated relationships, are now abondoning their loved ones for seeking better prospect...... Is it the only truth?

Well, who does not want financial security, independence and some eggs in
the nest for the future? My concern lies where the main considerations ar the bad conditions at home countries from where the migration influx is coming to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, Europeon destinations etc...... Most of the troubled places on this globe are on our finger tips and need not a mention.

Immigration due to bad conditions? What bad conditions? Although ranked high, I do not wish to emphasize too much importance on poverty or bad economy in under developed nations to indicate as a majore cause of huge quantity of people migrating abroad. In fact.... the most dreadful thing fiercely compelling appears to be the horrible law and order and political unstable situations making life miserable. I hold the people in power in the poor and badly managed countries. If they dont know how to dance, they blame the floor as upside down.

Added for past few years is the havoc of 'terrorism' that has plagued the normal life pattern both in cities and rural areal of countries like Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Mayanmar, Thailand, Phillipines and so on. An easy solution and readily available route to get out of this rut is 'immigration' to wealthy countries, no doubt. But again, is the eyed wealth and prosperity known in the highly developed countries waiting for the newly arriving immigrants? No way.

Just go through a number of web links, for instance, www.notcanada.com that not only inform us to our dismay the most disappointing scenarios the new comers come across.... the shattered dreams, the unemployment and the rejection faced, the incomparable qualifications, doubtful employers, ethnic problems, so it means that for the day dreamers, everything that shines is not necessarily gold!Instead, if one acts patiently and wisely he can always hope and manage to have a contented life as a poor or a person with moderate means in his own county. Times do change and shall change.

Interestingly, although I am an immigration consultant for last 2 decades and yet, to be honest with all, I do not encourage most of my clients to 'settle abroad' unless there are good reasons of his suitability, destination or choice of where he is being advised for, calculated ease of settlement worked out professionally, family connections, job probabilites or business opportunities. Lots of homework needs to have been done, indeed. So, opting for immigration is really not everybody's cup of tea. To my vision, it has something to do with wisdom, farsight and a hint of philosophical evaluation of one's objectives defined very clearly and searched throughly.

True that life in frightening, unsafe surroundings in one's own country is a terrible thing to bear. These problem spots are rich in human resources and untapped talent. Migration to greener pastures seems to them an attractive and the only option. However, it certainly should not be something like 'Out of fire, into the frying pan.' To a lucky few, migration may turn into like 'digging gold' but most of the ventureres are not that lucky. In fact a large number ends up like a taxi driver, a door man, a sales rep or restaurant worker although at home they held positions of prestige.

My point is: does the migration option really leads to the coveted 'paradise on earth'? I don't think. The rich countries do not really wish to part with their wealth with the labour class or skilled professionals that they 'import' after clever selection and charging money to allow them to come in with huge personal 'settlement funds'. They are in fact needy of a working class with skills that the rich countries residents do not wish to perform. Seeing no alternative to the problems of people forced to migrate, the underdeveloped countries face a tragic impact. Not only the obvious brain-drain, the families roots are broken, distances creat bitter psychological problems, families starving for their dear ones for years, not able to afford to get to their parent countries frequently and of course, the cultural shock and a collission of civilizations in a strange country that awaits them.

The conclusion and food for thought most alarmingly shall be: Is it not the time for the governments of under-developed and poor countries rich in human power to immidiately work out strategies for the betterment of the poor class and pay devotedly fast attention to improvement of law and order quality, particularly elimination of fast increasing street crimes in big cities like Bombay, Karachi, Dehli, Kabul, Lahore, Dhaka, and many more? If the quality of life improves, so shall the wages, businesses, industries, factories, infrastructures and money making opportunities and one can enjoy his life with his loved ones in the presence of his close relatives, friends, places, memories and in familiar cultures. No one to blame then...... Why not think cautiously........ watch before you leap. Stay until you are sure and then, if successful, it is all your smile. SMILE.
