Ask HN: I want to leave my country for further studies and life

1 pointshivajikobardan3 comments

But the problem is that I can't drive a car in road. I've not tried to learn it yet, but I've tried to learn motorcycle and I've partially succeeded till now. So, I'm handicapped basically. I want to move abroad to a country, a place where most people use public transportation. The country needs to have be a sunny country as I've SAD(Seasonal Affective Disorder) as well. Each day I pass in Nepal, I regret being here. All my friends are moving abroad to the USA, Australia, Canada. But since USA , Australia, Canada require cars heavily, that's out of question for me. I'm ready to learn a new language. I just don't want to stay in Nepal. Any country will be fine. No India and China. But europe. Can you recommend any countries for me? Sorry if this is off topic but I'm really in stress because everyone is leaving this country and I will probably be only guy who'll be staying here. That too, not because of my choice but because of my forced reason of not knowing driving. I don't need great public transportation, just something that works is enough for me. I'm a computer engineering graduate. I want to pursue masters in Electrical and Computer Engineering or Data Science and Artificial Intelligence.

1. Getting a job directly in western/developed countries is much harder than people think.

2. Forget about getting sponsorship for visa, even if you get a job (in some cases employer does it but you have to be the one exceptional case)

3. If I were you, I would go for further study in western/developed countries and then path to permanent visa via employment.

4. Every major city in western/developed countries has good public transportation.

5. Canada: All cities of Greater Toronto area has reliable pub. trans. same case with other provinces (I live here)

5. Driving car in Canada is not hard compare to Nepal or India (trust me I have driven in all these three countries), most of cars are automatic here, and driving is straight forward if you follow the rules.

6. If you're looking for good weather then, Australia and South Part of USA is better options while most southern part of Canada is colder than Nepal in winter.

7. Immigration in USA is very very difficult even via student visa and sponsorship and don't mention how expensive it is to study in USA.

8. Canadian immigration is straight forward and easy, details can be found on https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.ht...

9. Don't get in spam trap or immigration fraud, NEVER TRUST ANY IMMIGRATION AGENT SPECIALLY IN NEPAL AND/OR INDIA, read while/before apply https://www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.ht...

Khatmandu is a pretty hip place. There are good bookshops, good food and good people.

Meet some foreigners and talk with them. It's not all that great in the west! Australia has adequate public transport, as does Canada and much of the USA. Any city in the world has public transport. All the cool people ride bicycles.

Get a job before you leave with a reputable company, and think about not leaving, the grass is not always greener. There are a lot of scams taking advantage of your current mindset. It sounds like you would benefit from a lot more inquiry and a bit less angst. Planning and more info - and online networking are your friends.

hehe. ktm is great. I don't want to stay at Nepal at all. I'm scared that I'll be alone in Nepal with nobody and my progress will halt because of Nepal.
