Not easy to let go your home country??? What rubbish. It 's all in your mind
Me?? I wasn't born with a silverspoon in my mouth. My grades were just 'average'. Finished F5 and can't get into F6. Relatives in Canada sponsored me over. When that day came, just packed my bags and headed to the airport and that was it. The unspoken rule was I aint coming back until I got my degree. In Canada, I did my G12. Again, average grades. Applied to uni and had to wait till early Aug to I get my acceptance letter Cream of the crops get their choice while people like me were fillers. Took me 5 years to complete my degree. Why?? cvos i bombed my Calculus on my first attempt. Calculus was a prerequiste course for some of the courses. So it was 6 years beore I go home. When I got home I cannot tahan the heat and humidity. House has no air con.Only fans. Still remembers taking 6-7 baths a day just to cool down
Was very happy when that day came when I headed to the airport. Back to Canada
Currently working with company whose clients are oil/gas companies, pulp and paper companies, mining companies and petrochemical companies. Coming back to Malaysia to work?? Forget it. I am just a BSc holder with average grade. I am sure Talent Corp consider me as a non talent. Despite the gov't taking some 25% of my paycheque, I am still better off financially. Car is cheap, gas is cheap. food is cheap, eating out is expensive but junk food is cheap ,electronic stuff are cheap etc. Eg Nissan Rogue AWD 2013 model is around $27k while gas is around $1.15/L, 10 pcs KFC plus medium fries is less than $21. Working and pay taxes,health care is taken care off. No need to buy expensive private insurance etc etc
My advise. if you thinking of migration, don't be sentimental. Cross the bridge and burn it

Really??? My cousin graduated from TRAC in Accounting(diploma). After working some 10 yrs in KL, he uprooted his family and migrated to OZ a few years ago. He is now working as an accountant. How??? Went back to school and took some courses, wrote the exams and start all over ...from the bottom. No difference from a relative who obtained his accounting degree from UK. Came back and worked in KL for several years and than uprooted his family and moved to OZ( in the 90's) Like my cousin, he too had to go back to school, took some courses and wrote the exams and started all over from the bottom

Do you know immigration rules keep changing??? Every few years, gov't keep raising the bar. if you think it is tough trying to emigrate now, just wait . It will be tougher in the coming years. If one has the chance, grab it and stop procrastinating. All i have to do is looked at my relatives. Canada opened the immigration door back in the mid 80s.It was easy to emigrate back then.Of all the relatives that migrated to Canada, 2 had primary level 1 had LCE, 3 had MCE and 2 had uni level education. A few procastinate.... you know.too cold, got biz to run, this and that. By the time they were raedy to leave, Ottawa raised the bar because the rest of the world discoverd Canada How my lesser educated relatives made it to Canada?? Prasys hit it right on the nail
