@eljojo other than Canada, there aren’t many places where society is relatively open to immigrants socially and you can be fully accepted. Elsewhere in the world isn’t an option. I’ve tried them all.
There are a lot more jobs. There’s a lot more money. Everything that I care about is here (even though I only came here 7 years ago). That, after all the BS about this place, it still feels like home more than my own home did, and certainly more than other ‘better’ countries.
Even Houston has more academic and job opportunities than most capital cities of other countries. The scale isn’t comparable
