TopicCanadaIndia
Infrastructureexcellent. Good road, good water, continuous electricity supply, better public transport,better organised and shiny

Must start from fresh like buying everything like Vehicle, home needs, utensils, everything start from scratch.
Not bad maintained OK except rainy season

Traffic

Many cities in India now have good transport like metro and city buses and its cheaper

Swiggy and zomato
CorruptionEvery thing is online and Government work done hassle freeIndia still does paper work and figuring out how to go online.

TCS can't do all of its work right.
PollutionLess pollution and Clean environmentVery pollute mostly in cities like Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad
GadgetsThe cost of mobiles and gadgets are cheaper over there much the price variation is not much except for Iphones.Some what pricier but its not worth moving out for that reason.
Iphones cost concept is different here in India
Careermight start on a lower pay but it would increase graduallydifficult to find job with good pay, if you get welcome to endless time of work and unreachable targets
TaxesTaxes in Canada are very highthere are many tax saving instruments
cost of livingthe city you stay in, there are chances that the rent and utilities would eat up anywhere between 40–60% of your salary

cost of petrol is same as in India
Can own a house through loan and get settled slowly

Utilities are affordable

More over everything is affordable like clothing groceries

VehicleCar ownership and insurance are expensive as wellOwnership is reasonable

It isn't there unfortunately and this system can actually jack up your premiums way high unless you drive carefully
domestic helpyou do not find them and
We can use fully automatic dishwashers, washing machines and cleaning robots

even if you find people, they are very expensive
This is the best thing happening in India

You guys know how it is comforts and luxuries of life here if you have enough
WeatherCanada if you cannot handle cold weather as even in summers the highest temperatures isn’t more than the lowest winter temperatures in India.

Its bearable except rainy season in cities
healthcareYou pay for the healthcare through your taxes upfront, irrespective of you using it

you would strive to be more fit in Canada as there are more incentives

does not cover dental and vision
health insurance if you wish and if not, pay for the medical bills out of your pocket

It will be difficult sometimes when there is any major health concerns
FamilySchooling is free (notional) till 18

Both the parents need to work in order to run the family

Less Holiday trips
All ranges of schooling is available

Government is still working hard to improve school structure

At least family will be happy as other partner need not work
cultural richnessExcept Christmas there is not much to celebrate

Fun at Holi, Ganesh Nimarjanam, Eid etc..,
Work Life stylestart much below your present levels of responsibility as there is no Canadian experience but there will be gradual increase


Mostly works are fixed and time based


Job security : company has to show good reason to fire you if you are a permanent employee
There is a limitation to the amount you earn in India as there is a risk of firing if you reach to the peak


There is always someone else to replace you


No time obedience and work ethics followed and value towards employee 
GroceriesFood is definitely costly as they have to import goods and cost of the labor is high(this is one of the reason you are moving right)

eating out is costly too

This would eat up the remaining 20-30% of salary

The price is 4 to 10 times costlier than Indian prices as they need to be imported and cost of labor is high


Groceries are cheap link
