Vivek, If money is your only motive, I think you are better off in India. The Indian economy is growing at 8-9% as compared to North American economy growing at 2-3% annually. So, if you are in a decent position right now, hopefully, it should only improve. However, it appears to me that you...

I do not know about Tarleton state University, but if you option to study in Canada or USA, and you are legally allowed to work through co-op placement, I woul suggest USA just because it is a big country and potential opportunities are lot more than Canada. The advantage in Australia is the...

Deshwalji, With due respect to your experience as a senior Foreign Service official, I disagree with your analysis almost completely. I have to write in English because it will take me too much time to write in Hindi. First of all, this analysis is not relevant to American born Desis. I am...

There are lot of Jats and non-Jat Indians in LA. So, you will have no problem. Birbal Singh Those who do law from Oxford or other British universities usually require 2 courses from Canada to get credentials to practice, so it should be very similar for those from India. The best is to go to...

Congratulations to Dharampal for his accomplishment and best wishes for his continued success. Subha Chandji, I think he is an Electrical Engineer.

Krishan, Immigration to Canada is fairly straightforward, and all the information is available on various posts on Jatland. However, the problem is the processing time. I am not sure how fast you can get it processed from Ireland. I think it will be faster than applying from Delhi. For...

Abhijit, I am not aware of current American rules, but it may be possible to get the new name on Visa by just crossing the border to Canada (Toronto American Consulate). Of course, you will need to pay for the trip to Toronto, but it is not that expensive. Also, you will need a tourist Visa for...

Abhimanyu, Mechanical Engineering is the most versatile branch in the sense that its graduate can choose a variety of caeer paths. If you are good in math, I suggest going for grad studies in Industrial engineering as it offers very good future. If you have people skills, MBA is also good...

Abhijit, Your problem is not unique. I have seen these problems in many cases, but the post 9/11 craziness in USA makes it worse. In Canada, I know, a name change can be processed on the same day of the request if one pays the slightly higher fees for expedited services. Since you are not...

Dinesh, When it comes to student visas, the immigration officer has lot of discretion. It seems you ended up with someone in bad mood for some reason. I have known foreign students on student visa in Canada and USA in almost phoney programs. So, my feeling is that all you need next time is to...

Vikrant, There are only two universities in Vancouver - The University of British Columbia, and Simon Fraser University. Both are highly rated and admission to MBA is very competitive. These days Community Colleges offer MBA programs through collaboration, but I do not think those degrees are...

Bhuwan, Your inquiry is too general to be answered easily. But, just to repeat something that has been discussed enough times on this thread, it is not difficult to get admission to a graduate program but the main issue is that it may not be worth for everyone. If one is determined to get a...

Vikram, If you want to get into any of the top 20 MBA programs, you need to do extremely well in GMAT and have very solid references from both your manager and professors. It is not necessary for your referees to be well known but they should be able to write the recommendation letters very...

Kadianji, It is not easy for new immigrants to get good jobs immediately (not easy for Canadian born citizens either), but if one persists, sooner or later a decent career will come along. I have not dealt with a Indian Lawyer recently, but almost 20 years ago I had dealt with one in Alberta. I...

Deshwalji, Akbar's desire to convert (although the real fact is that he wanted to start a new religion - Din-e-Ilahi as a mix of Hinduism and Islam) was based more on pragmatism rather than faith. As a good administrator he realized the rule by force from a minority will not last (and it did...
