Moving to India for good from Canada

Hello!

ASK : Need perspectives Situation : I came to Canada as a student in Jan 2020( right before pandemic), in a way stuck now completed my Masters, got a well paying corporate job which I love and relevant to my education and living as a Permanent Resident from last 1.8 years.

Cut short to 5.5 years now living here I’m not happy even though I’m a single 31F living by myself having the financial freedom and no liability.

I feel, because of pandemic I just could never establish foundation of any kind of friendships. I tried friendship here, dating, living by myself, living with roommates, making friends through meetups, volunteering through work. I have deduced that “friendships” here are very different which in my dictionary is close to compromising. I was aware of how different people are here but I feel I get to experience the extreme of it.

Each day passing, my life is just mundane, there are days when I’m quiet for the whole day and just talk to my parents/ friends back home for an hour each. Other than that, it’s just surface level conversations with people. Life has started to feel meaningless here as I’m in survival mode and not really living a life.

Having said all that, I would love to hear from people who moved back esp with last 1 year, what are some of the initial challenges you faced or I must prepare myself for.

PS - I live in Ottawa ( Lived in Toronto and Montreal briefly) and moving back to Delhi where I’m originally from and I lived in Pune for 5 years before coming to Ottawa. So, I have experience living in different dynamics.
