Malayali expatriates from Kerala, India who have settled in the province of Manitoba, Canada, face a range of challenges. Many struggle to get their qualifications recognized, leading to underemployment or the need for additional certification. The competitive job market, especially in regulated professions, can be daunting for newcomers. Adapting to cultural differences in the workplace and building a professional network from scratch are other hurdles. Language barriers, discrimination, and the high cost of living in major cities add to the difficulties. Despite these challenges, some Malayali migrants have been able to successfully integrate into the Canadian society over time.
