Confuse!!! What do I need to do???

I have been dreaming of working in Canada, - a nice country with good people, good economy, no discrimations and ofcourse to play with snow and wear winter clothes. But now when the opportunity is almost there I am having second thoughts.. I have a good career here in Singapore- in an established company and earning almost 3x better with my last job, although the salary i will be getting in Canada is more bigger. But what i love most in working here in SG is I can always go home and see my family in the Philippines as often as I can ( last year I went home twice ) its just 3 1/2 hours away by plane and the ticket is more cheaper, I got friends who has been working in Cnada for 3 or 4 yrs but until now never go home or even have vacation.one thing that really stopping me is te thought that I wont be seeing my family for a long time though I know working there would mean greener pasture.. What do you think I should do?confused

u have already answered yourself...
or they love it so much they dont want to go home from canada banana
stay in the job you got and save up and buy a new house with upstairs rooms and a big garden with enough land to build 10 more houses.....ok gift teddybear
just think what you would consider as the most precious things in your life. Getting together with your families very often or enjoy the snowy country and start a new life. That's your call to find the answer.
If I were you, I will stay in my job, saving some money and go to Canada for holiday instead of working.

I'd love to marry a nice looking lady from there. beautiful place aye..
Thank you guys for the help, Ofcourse family is my priority its just that it was really a dream come true, before i come here my mind was set that i will be just working here for a short time and then will pursue my canadian dream but having away from home changes everything.. I become more sentimental and appreciatted the family that I have more ..

I just look at your profile. Don`t know what exactly is our job now and what you should work in Canada, but your decision depend of your priorities. Whether you want and can develop professional or ultimate goal is just to help your family financially.
Wish you to take the right decission!
Where am I!!! always open the wrong doors... must be good old Verginie ....look at all that muddy water. Hay, anybody home... guess not... must ta gone to the party bash... wonder who their bashing around this time... told cousin Clem to stay away from them places... oh well... where's the door... let's see now...doh doh
Ms. Ice cream, I'm also a Pinay. Some Filipino friends say that Canada has a lot of opportunities but you have to adapt to the weather as it is colder than Singapore. But Iam doubtful with the no discrimination clause. There is discrimination everywhere. More so because we're Asians and much more because we're females. No, I'm not complaining. Iam living with the fact that all things aren't created equal. Back to your question, as there is a possibility for you to become a Singaporean citizen too just like in Canada and you like your present job and if that present job offers job growth and increase in salary, why suffer the extreme coldness of winter and being away from your family for too long.There is always a corresponding sacrifice for every dream we want to realize. And good for you since I've never been home for 4 yrs now as much as I want to yet I couldn't. Iam presently job hopping since dismissed from a well paying job in 2009. Remember the Lehman scandal. I was one of those laid off. Good luck to whatever your decision will be.Hope the new year brings good health, peace and prosperity to us and everyone.bouquet
You've answered your question. Besides, if you're close with your family, you should stay. Airfare from Canada is very expensive and, in some cities, so is the cost of living. It's always a good idea to visit first before you decide to move. You might not like winter!! Best wishes to you. wave
Thank you guys for your response i am more convince now to stay here so I can see my family more often, for @ spdspd- I am a manager in a restaurant here in SG, my previous work in the Philippines is in a bank.. I have an offer to work in an restaurant in canada, and thinking of pursuing my career in a bank again after a while. I heard good things about cnada thats why I was very eager to go there then.. But now I'd rather stay here and see If I can work in a bank as well..
