Holiday in north America

[Premi5]

I have visited California, and felt safe there at all times. I would recommend it.

I noted that you'll not be killed just as you step off the plane. The point is that Canada is safer than the US. Granted, 99.9% of the time, you'll be OK. It's just that people should not be complacent.

On the matter, of California, that's where:

A young Sikh gas station attendant was gunned down

Two elderly Sikh men, 65 and 78, were killed walking

68 yr old Sikh found dead

Sikh man beaten up and hair cut

Another 68 yr old Sikh beaten up severely, and Gurdwara defaced

And an 82 yr old attacked in Fresno in 2013, outside a Gurdwara

 

So please don't make Sikhs think they're absolutely safe in California. They're not.

You're right. Except that the OP has belatedly stated that it'll be too expensive for him to stay in hotels. So he's down to just staying with his relatives in Toronto.

Ever heard of making money while on holiday. Plenty of work opportunities to make some extra income.

I am also visiting Canada this year in Toronto, heard there are quite a lot of Sikhs there (including Dal Panth Toronto).

They're all in Malton, Rexdale, and Brampton. But, yes, a lot, probably about 150,000 in the area.

Yes, I have, in fact. But I had totally forgotten about it until you mentioned it, thanks.

Unfortunately, the US does not have such a program for British citizens. You have to have a job already lined up. Plus demonstrate your exceptional ability and college education. Plus there are usually more applicants than visa slots, so there's a lottery every year, and the quota is already filled up for this year, next chance Apr 2019. And you have to actually work, it's doubtful your employer will give you a month off after you just started. If your intention is to work a day or two, tour a day or two, and repeat, no employer will sponsor your visa (which is expensive).

Canada, on the other hand, has the International Experience program for people 18 to 35. But, as you noted, there's less stuff to see.

My friend from Toronto told me that the dal panth toronto is not that good. If you want to spend time with nihang singhs then go to BC, a lot of chardikala singhs.

I've heard the opposite, Toronto has a lot of good Nihangs.
