Your Message for Canadians of Asian Origin
Work hard and leave behind the arrogance and attitude before leaving India. Forget about the concept of superiority over the other human beings. In the Western world nobody is inferior or superior. There is no work that is low grade or upper grade. Learn any trade before departing India or you will be stuck in the low paying labour jobs for the rest of your life.
