tDotTo;251378Sure ask here or PM. I've been in Canada for 11 years now.

Hi tDotTo,

I have a question regarding moving to Canada before r2i. Let me give you my background and then ask you my questions?

I plan to r2i in 2016. Currently nearing end of 5th year of h1b. GC did not start yet (might start soon).
I am thinking that if I have arranged employment, then end of 2012, I will move to Canada (if I apply for PR now and get it in a year). Stay there for about ~4 years to get Citizenship and then r2i.
I am shifting towards this plan rather than directly r2i, to be able to return back to Canada and may be to US on TN visa if need be( same old story of security/insurance ).

One more reason for Canada Citizenship and not US is if I r2i, I do not have to keep filing the taxes here (in US) while in india

Do you think this is a good idea? or am I day dreaming.
Do you think there is any thing I am missing here?

Anyone else have any suggestion or comments, please?

Regards,
r2hyd2016

rabala;251266I'm planning to R2I for quite some time now - in fact visited Mumbai 2 weeks ago to explore opportunities...pm me if you'd like some insight...in a short plenty of oppty's out there..

Hi rabala, I don't think I can send you a pm due to insufficient posts. Could you pls elaborate on the job scene? Thanks

i moved a year ago from us to mumbai. there are few schools in malad area. for igcse/ib - you got billabong. there are few returnees whos kids go that school. there is one vibgyor (the area where that is located is terrible). there is one maina devi bajaj international school which is igcse.

in goregoan east there is vibgyor(icse). oberoi is really good but you will have to pay more than what you would in a US private school. there are other good icse schools like lakshadham but admission is super super competitive. without powwaa no body would give you any pathaaa. ryan international (cbse) didnt feel right to me

i had put my kid in ryan global school (ib) in lokhandwala and paid what I paid in the Kansas private school.

from job wise there are few cos. major ones being jpmorgan, morgan stanley, bank of america merrill.

your post brought back memories of my trip to Toronto and our stay is mississagua. very memorable indeed.

good luck with your move.
