Beware! Lest Malta
tragedy strikes again
INDIAN
youth, especially from this region, are dream of going abroad. Hook or
crook - they employ every means to reach the country of their dreams.
The obsession to immigrate has taken over most of the young generation
and tragically, some such journeys have ended fatally. No one from
Punjab can forget Malta. On the other hand, many play straightaway into
the hands of so-called 'immigration agents' and end up penniless
afterwards. The Internet has a solution to these problems. Countries
like Canada, Australia and New Zealand provide immigration to the
skilled and business class, besides intellectuals, from the IIIrd world
countries. The following sites provide relevant information about
immigration, settlement and visits abroad:
