Dear Indian Parents, Read This Before You Send Your Child Abroad
A Parent's Honest Guide from Class 10 to Landing — Canada, USA, UK, Australia, Germany, ... - What Education Agents Will Not Tell You)
by Manoj Palwe
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Your child wants to study abroad. Before you spend a rupee, read this. If the idea has entered your home — a country mentioned at dinner, a cousin who just landed in Toronto, a coaching-class brochure — you already know the feeling. Excitement, and underneath it, a quiet dread you can't quite name. Sending a child abroad is one of the largest financial and emotional decisions an Indian family ever makes. It can be the best decision of your lives.
It can also be a slow catastrophe that drains your savings and isolates your child. The difference is almost never luck. It's preparation, clear thinking, and the willingness to ask uncomfortable questions before money changes hands. Written by a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant with 25+ years guiding families, this is the honest, parent-to-parent guide nobody hands you at the seminar. No glossy promises. No agent's sales pitch.
