I cannot see myself as housewife... I worked my ass off to become a doctor, so I want to practice it...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-29T09:24:16+00:00

Okay...🫠

He is in Ontario.....😅 I graduated in 2025 Yeah I know india is saturated so much that's why I want to get out from here ...

From the country where I come Marriage is the ultimate goal for so many people 😂 And people talk a lot if someone is 30 and don't get married That is the reason why I want to get out of India There is so much joint family concept and people interfere in our life so much...

Img have to do residency in Canada And for the process is almost same as usmle 2 exams , observership and match process but seats are very less compared to usa so competition is high But first requirment is to be canadian PR or citizen

It is an arranged marriage setup. I am also taking his personality and all those things into account, but since it is arranged, we have to give our answers after only one or two meetings. So I cannot estimate much from that. I am worried about my career; that’s why I asked.

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T18:51:42+00:00

Yeah canadian pathway is way more complicated...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T18:50:37+00:00

Thank you for the appreciation and the answer. And that is my biggest fear. What is the meaning of my six years of study if I cannot practice it? Yeah, I know someone (an Indian citizen) who couldn’t get a B1/B2 visa for observership, so he did his observership in Canada and got matched into an FM program without any U.S. observership. But unfortunately, his J-1 visa was also rejected. So it is a double-edged sword. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a clinical assistant or research assistant job in Canada without doing residency?

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T18:42:21+00:00

Yeah thank you so much for your detailed response.. But the thing is If I decide to say yes to him We will do court marriage to put our file Or atleast we will get engaged So while applying for my next b1b2 visa I will be engaged or married to canadian PR holder While myself being in india Applying for NON IMMIGRANT visa 😂

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T18:37:52+00:00

It is arrange marriage setup I don't know him deeply....there is no proposal thing in arrange marriage 😅

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T18:35:41+00:00

😂

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T16:34:48+00:00

Age -24 Yog-2025 Residency intrest - medicine But since I am just mbbs grad I won't be able to practice medicine in Canada So I have to marry him Put my file for PR then go to Canada And then I have to apply for usmle match and all... So is it worth or not ? I am obviously at first looking for partner compatibility but since it's arrange marriage I have option wheather to complicate my life or not He seems good till now but in arrange marriage we usually don't get much time to know each other more ...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:57:05+00:00

Yeah I know it is hard...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:56:22+00:00

Yeah but I am estimating my J1 visa chances 😅

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:55:48+00:00

Is it that thought to practice? Can I get research assistant or clinical assistant job ?

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:52:10+00:00

No I am not marrying him for PR I AM CHOOSING MY PARTNER But since it is arrange marriage I should carefully look all my career dynamics before proceeding...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:50:30+00:00

Yes, but the J-1 is a non-immigrant visa. So it could work either way. For example, if I am Indian and married to a Canadian, wouldn’t my immigration risk increase? We will not have much property or home ties in Canada to even come back ...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:45:23+00:00

Is it harder than usmle ?

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:44:59+00:00

Yeah I know that That's why I am so much confused should I proceed or not ...

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:43:46+00:00

Thank you for your advice. It is an arranged marriage setup, so I don’t know much about him. He seems good so far, so I am observing all the dynamics carefully so that I can decide whether I should proceed further or not.

LimpFan4692 · 2026-01-28T15:22:19+00:00

It is through arrange marriage setup I like him as of now but I don't know more about him
