小贱贱:
对于新移民来说,选择回国也不是一件象你说的那么容易的事. 你可以想象一下:办移民,有些人是交了8000 US$ 通过移民公司办的.在办移民过程中,要耐心等待2年甚至4年时间. 上新东方,学习英语,考雅思,办理工程师协会认证,办理各种公证,托关系送礼办各种加拿大使馆要求的文件. 卖掉房子,卖掉家具,辞掉工作,拖家带口的来到加拿大. 满心希望到加拿大之后通过自己的汗水和辛苦劳动,过上移民公司介绍的"世界上最适宜人类居住"的发达资本主义国家生活. 可是,他们来到这里,学历和工作经历不被承认,长期找不到工作,发了几百封求职信也没有得到回音. 坐吃山空,积蓄花光了,孩子(一般2-10岁)回国之后功课不一定能跟得上国内同龄的孩子......
新移民所经历的难处你可能是很难理解和想象的. 即使决定要回国,也不是象你说的"不喜欢就回去"那么简单(尽管加拿大没有人强迫你留下).

Well, firstly, just like you do, I don’t like people who just keep complaining his own bad situation without trying to change it. But, for some new immigrants, I do understand their feelings, cause they did try hard but failed for the various reasons which beyond their control.
Life changed dramatically before and after immigration, and usually people who keep whining most are those who are middle aged and whose career is at the most critical point, they did take the “wrong bus” to come over here for their own decisions, but why? Some of them are for their kids future, some of them just felt bored when they worked in China, some of them want to change their life style, some of them may just want to get a Canadian citizenship, some of them like the beautiful natural environment of Canada, and some of them, may be, is coming to pursue the “freedom and democratic”. Well, for whatever reasons, to immigrant to another country is a big decision for everyone, and before actually landing here, everyone would vision a beautiful life in Canada, but under-estimated the difficulties they would face here, not only physically but mentally. By comparing the life in China, , some of them do feel unbalance, and no one can deny that China is changing so fast, so many opportunities emerged that made so many people wealth these years, while Canada does not.
Just like it’s a big decision to immigrate here, it’s also a critical decision to move back or not. You can’t say that you don’t like here then go back to China, because they paid too much to get to this point, whatever it’s a mistake or right decision.
I think it’s hard for you to understand the tough life of a new immigrant, and you don’t have to, but one thing for sure is Canada is not as good as you feel to many new immigrants, although, most of us are still keep trying to create the bright future for us wherever in Canada or in China.

I remember the similar discussion before but would add a little bit more here.
I am in my late thirties and have gone through all this and that kind of initial frustration/challenge period which is similar for all new immigrants; and I made my own decision of immigrating to this country. What I have observed and seen from my Chinese fellows including myself is mostly a promising picture of working hard and harder to improve on our conditions in Canada.
The common problem facing our Chinese people including myself is that we are so good at comparisons; and we always would like to have both the good things in China and the good things in Canada, which is understandable but can never be realized. Therefore, here comes so many whinings and complaints. Yes, it is true that the first generation of our Chinese people including myself can probably never be 100% compatible with the Canadian main society due to the social culture and language issues. This will definitely have a series of impacts on the career path we choose because it is up to us to adapt to this country but not the other way around.
I have no regrets about my original decision to immigrate here. I would have been "somebody" if I went back to China with PhD many years ago like several of my old classmates did. I enjoy the peace, quietness, the overall social environment, and my daily life here even though I am "nobody" here. Why would I still have such pride and confidence? The reason is quite simple: I know that we can only have one side of the good things but not both.
Beware of what you are here (Canada) or there (China) for and enjoy the life anywhere!
