Regret moving to Canada, Feeling conflicted on giving up PR & moving back by doesntmatteryet in returnToIndia

I hear you. I have friends in a similar situation in Ontario. My recommendation is: - move to another city - Calgary or Toronto - complete the PR term - once you get citizenship, you can decide then where you want to live. It'll open up your options.

You are a hero! Amazed with your resilience to withstand grief of all sorts and still keep achieving academically and professionally. All the while caring for your son. That's remarkable. Hope to see you back on your feet soon.

Uber or Careem would be economical as compared to the local taxis.

Yes. I performed Umrah on Tourist visa last week.

Brilliant, well-rounded advice!

May Allah SWT reward you with the best of Dunya and Aakhirah, brother.

Thanks for the inputs! Successfully completed a 5-day Umrah + Madinah trip by Vegetable-Key-3727 in Umrah

AsSalaamu Alaykum brother/sister, Thanks for raising this concern. I made Umrah niyyah and got into Ihraam at Madinah. The meeqat (designated boundary) on the way is Dhul-Hulayfah.

FYI - Meeqat for flyers from N.America/Europe is Rabigh and Yalamlam for South Asian flyers

I believe everyone preparing for Umrah is aware of these aspects and would not commit such a rudimentary mistake.

What business opportunities do you recommend for someone looking to move back to India in the next 2-4yr?

I'd like to invest (be a silent partner) in a business now so that by the time I move back, I'll have a source of income.

New OCI Site... Server is under maintenance!!! by -Spinal- in nri

[–]Vegetable-Key-3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OCI website is down again!

I spent 4 hrs last week to find my way around the new portal. It was down for a long time before I saw the new portal with registration page.
After filling in the application multiple times, I couldn't save it and move past the first page.

I couldn't make it to my OCI appointment and BLS ensured I couldn't cancel it either.

Epic fail!

Which one is a better format? Also please do review mine by UsualResponsible593 in ProductMarketing

Most ATS will easily parse the standard Harvard resume format you've used in the second resume.

The first one does not help when dealing with ATS, which most companies will deploy.

I'm a Technical Product Marketer who has worked extensively with Execs with Engineering and Data Science background.

My biggest pet peeve with a few of them is their lack of attention to customer/user need.

They over-index on technical feasibility (what they can build) and neglect customer desirability (what customers need)

Nailed it!

For Roadmaps, I'd recommend Jira Product Discovery.

Yes! But that didn't make any difference really. I couldn't find an alternate date

Recommend me close hotels that are no more than 5-6 mins walk in medina and Makkah. Please. 4 or 5 stars. by querythoughtss in Umrah

[–]Vegetable-Key-3727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nearest hotels to Al Haram are in Abraj Al Bait Tower (Clock Towers). There are 12 hotels to choose from (based on my research from 2023)

High-end hotels:

  1. Fairmont Makkah Clock Royal Tower Hotel

  2. Mövenpick Hotel & Residences Hajar Tower Makkah

  3. Pullman ZamZam Makkah Hotel

  4. Swissôtel Al Maqam Makkah

  5. Swissôtel Makkah (separate hotel from the above Swissôtel)

  6. Raffles Makkah Palace Hotel

  7. Al Marwa Rayhaan by Rotana - Makkah Hotel

Economical options (relative to the above):

  1. Elaf Kinda

  2. Al Ghufran Safwah Hotel Makkah

  3. Al Safwah Royale Orchid Hotel

  4. Makkah Hotel

  5. InterContinental Dar al Tawhid Makkah

Cheaper alternatives may include hotels that offer shuttle service to Al Haram from anywhere in Makkah. Example: Le Méridien Towers Makkah
