I have a daughter who will be applying for universities this year.
While we were discussing the matter she told me she wants to study computer science in Canada and named a few schools, McGill, Waterloo, Toronto and British Columbia.
She was expecting this because my son studied in England and he currently works there.
However their situations are different as he did mechanical engineering which has more prospects abroad unlike science and he had no hopes of getting married in India as there are mostly only boys in our community.
My daughter on the other hand has already had proposals for the future when she gets older including from a family friend for his son who is in Canada already so she could do a bachelor's here then later get married and do her master's there. Also multiple family friends in UK have suggested it as well.
Additionally I am concerned of her ability to cope in a foreign country away from family and not lose her culture and morals. She has always been obsessed with the culture in Christian countries and wants to be like them. She has even taught herself French. I have found a short skirt and top in her room once and has to make her get rid of it and I felt so disgusted.
If she goes to Canada there is a risk she will get sidetracked and lose focus of studies and end up wasting money or end up falling for a white boy.
