Stop saying international students, it's Indians.

If white people are so evil and racist, why do you insist on coming to live in our homes?\nindian immigration has destroyed this country, it will never be fixed. These ‘people’ behave like utter animals, destroying nature, poisoning the water, using beaches as bathrooms. They are extremely nepotistic and will only hire other indians and family, it’s next to impossible for young native born Canadians to get even basic level entry jobs if the person hiring is indian. \nindians have abused the goodwill of our citizens and our social assistance programs. For the first time in nearly a hundred years our local food banks had to shutter and turn people away because INDIANS were using it as a free grocery store when they had FULL TIME JOBS and brand new bmws, then they post videos on social media saying ‘how to get free food in canada’, while some poor emaciated bastard gets turned away. What makes it worse, a lot of these Indians, especially in the prairies, already have their groceries subsidized by federal government, and they STILL abuse the food bank. It’s not just food bank either, they all apply for welfare and immediately get assistance even though it takes months to get as a natural born citizen, and that’s even if you get it. I was shocked to find out the federal government was paying indians to move out of Ontario and BC into Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba because the coastal cities infrastructure was about to implode in certain areas. So they they told these people to move inland, and if they do and stay there for 18-24 months, they get $3300 dollars a month every month for that duration. My disability cheque, that I paid into for 40 years of hard work, comes out to 950 dollars a month. This is absurd. These people get literally everything handed to them, and STILL abuse the programs meant for those who are struggling. I have never in my life met such an arrogant and utterly dishonest and disgusting group of peoples in my life. This isn’t just one or two bad apples, this is happening in every city around here. They also get first dibs on any and all medical treatment and specialists. Many local residents who have already been on waiting lists for years to get treatment are getting bumped in order to accommodate the new invaders. It’s basically impossible to find a doctors or dentists office accepting new patients. ER rooms are full constantly of these people coming just for runny noses and coughs, clogging up the already strained healthcare system. The prairies hospitals (at least where I live) were barely holding together before this nonsense. Yet somehow, this is all just white people being racist huh? \nWell I’ll tell you what, I’m not white, my people were on this land long before anyone else can claim to be, and while I’ll admit there’s often still a lot of animosity between natives and whites, youd be quite surprised to see how many of us are in agreement towards the current behaviour of these people.

As an Indian Immigrant who left recently, here are few tips for Canadians:\n\n1. Not every brown person is Indian, I knew people from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka identifying themselves as Indians.\n\n2. Its not entire India but two major states, Punjab and Gujarat, with majority of aggressive actions coming from IMMIGRANTS from Punjab and not native Punjabis who are born and brought up here.\n\n3. Immigrants can’t vote, so majorly its not your fault and so is not immigrants fault but the Government that the CITIZENS elected brought immigrants for boosting their dead economy.\n\n4. Controversial but I will say it, Canada is a FRENCH country with English as its second major language. No others language is as prominent, So if you are sure that a brown person is an IMMIGRANT and they can’t even speak ENGLISH properly let alone French, 99% chance he/she is a problem in your country and does labour work.

U say immigrants...are they illegal or coming genuinely....u dont mention that. Secondly canada so much money out of these indian students. Britian shouldnt have existed without our money.

Its a snub to the Indians ??? But they deserve it as they cannot feel at home everywhere they go .... follow the RULES no bodys got to say anything ?

Working in shipping industry for years, indians - wow their behaviour is just out, no sensitivity towards other culture, from what I observed they look at themselves high authority, hygiene is out. Very few Indians I've met that i can say has a good manner.

A consequence of Britain's own actions is now being felt. Throughout history, you've colonized, divided, taken slaves, killed, murdered 150 million Indians, kidnapped, raped women and children all over the world, pillaged resources, and split countries... and now it's time to pay the price. Sow what you will reap, says the old adage.

As an Indian national residing outside India I'm saying that most of the time it's always the Indians turning out be the most worst or annoying tourists in a country due to the lack of civic sense, respect to public property and them being unaware or unwanting to follow rules of the countries... alongside their use of fake or unofficial documents used for obtaining the visa

Some days back you were flouting indian passport in England, now you are saying no one is letting you in ??

As a living abroad person can say people are hating Indians now, because people using system badly ,shifting everywhere for nothing

Wait a minute! A women looking exactly like you was saying that Indians proudly flaunt their passport everywhere they go. I think it was at some Oxford Union. I'm forgetting her name but her statements were truly motivating.

As an Indian living abroad I can say we don't have a very good reputation outside India, we are considered stinky bastards! which is not far from the truth.

This is the reality of India, I will get many replies, but it's a fact that she was lucky.,otherwise, the first thing they say to drop mobile, as she's been asked later. Indians are worse in performing their duties. Do you think this would be the first time with this embassy guy? This is the first time he got caught. They get the job everything gets changed they become masters. That's the reality of Indians

Well, there are good Indians and scammers Indian. Scammers in India are causing headaches for good Indians. That is the facts. For instance, recently some Indians took a huge loan in UAE and left for Canada with that money. That has put the UAE government in a position to make the visa process more difficult to find out if bad people are getting the visa or not. I would say, the Indian government should introduce a process to thoroughly investigate a person before they apply for a foreign visa, and it should be honest to see some improvement in Indian behavior in the foreign countries. If not, that number is just going to go down. It doesn’t matter how much you scream. Do that for the sake of good Indian people.

There is an unwritten rule that visa applications from countries below $10,000 per capita GDP will be heavily scrutinized. It is unfortunate that countries first encourage Indians to apply for visas only to reject them and earn huge fees in the process. Its a total scam. Also, the description of the video says Indian visas, it should have been Indian visa applications.

Palki you left the most critical factor and that was well expected given your flattering attitude towards Modi. It's because of Modi's handling of foreign relations and his incompetence our Indian passport is consistently falling in ranks. But you won't say a word about him....

As an Indian living abroad I can say we don't have a very good reputation outside India

Mam wanted to remind you of your earlier quote saying after Modi in power Indians are now being respected world wide ... What happened to that esteemed pride that we have been empowered with .... Would you change your stance now

the likes of Palki and so called other journalist is if something bad happens to Indians the other party is racist but if something bad happens to people in China, Nepal, Bangladesh etc the reason is those countries citizens. They have made millions pandering lies and will continue to do so. Where is herviswaguru and welcome for indians speech in Oxford now.\n\nAs they say you dont have to go to war to destroy a nation but just inbibe in their mind falsehood and they will themselves take the plunge to hell.

It's well deserved the way some try to get in with fraud docs and wrong way...But should not be rejected, right Palki ? // cause duniya mein ab GODI and Andh Bhakt need to work harder // I thought India is already a VC ishwaguru and our danka is on top right Palki?? // and where is that sycophant Akshay Kumar who say at immigration they jostle to handle indian passports and in his words Aw Aw you are from Modis India, where is this aw aw crow sounding with a rubbish accent now hiding.????

The population of Indian immigrants has skyrocketed in my native California since 2000. There are many lovely Indian people living here. But many are arrogant Tesla drivers that dont drive safely and act like they own the world. I slammed my breaks on once because a dog ran into the street and I didn’t want to hit it. And the Indian man behind me rear-ended me (which is completely his fault because he was riding too close behind.) He was furious and his response was “you should’ve hit the dog.” He kept saying it was my fault for stopping in the road and wouldn’t give me his insurance. I almost hit him, but instead I called the cops so they’d force him to give me his insurance.

Why does not she say that it's our behavior that is causing this, all arrogant indian around the world has created a very bad picture of India, this includes Paalki as well. I though she was a new reporter didn't know she was a fake one.!!

The reason is that some Indian finds it difficult to integrates.\n\n I know one Indian lady that have lived in one country for over 20 years and the lady cannot speak the language of that country. What a shame! \n\nSecondly, many of them like to dominate or discriminate against other people. It has been alleged that some Indian people discriminate against others in many places they work. For instance! Where their people are in charge in Canada, they will not offer jobs to none Indian. They preferred to give the job to an illegal immigrants from india than to give it to someone else who has complete paper work. \nThe video is on YouTube. \n\nIllegal immigrants from India protest boldly in Canada asking government to give them papers but reserve is the case in India. If an illegal immigrants is found anywhere in India, the name of that person is sorry. Too many foreigners are in India prisons for minor offence or immigration matters. I can go on and and on. \n\nVisa rejection is not a bad thing!!! Everyone must protest his or her own. \n \n\nIf it is possible, everyone should stay in their own country. No movement. Do business with your own people. No international business!!! \n\nOur ancestors survived without others, therefore we can survive too. \n\nI know many people will not like this comment but it is an opinion. \n\nI still like India but will not live there. Good luck to them. \n\n\nIn my view their ascent contributes to numerous visa denials. Let's say 10% . Then 30% is forgery. It has been alleged that some of them do too many documents forgery to get to Canada or whereever they wish to travel.\n Then \n10% is women maltreatment. (stories of rape etc). \n\n Finally, india is very big, they need to use their population as a tool for development. They have all it takes to be like China. 100%\n\nWake up Indian government. Look after your citizens or divide the damn country. It is too big. ?

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

Weren’t you going to Oxford Union few months ago and saying that Indian passport is revered now at immigration counters around the world ?? ???

I got confused because of the title. It shouldn't say Indian visas but rather foreign visas on Indian passports instead.

Didn't Palki Sharma, this very lady go to the Oxford debate to say how great the Indian passport is and how we are praised because of it?... what happened now? What happened to India is great under Modi?

Palki, weren't you some time ago, wearing your yellow saree, in the UK parliament, waxing eloquently about the importance of Indian passport. Now doing this bit saying Indians are not getting visas.\n\nSuch a joke you are. \n\nWhat did you smoke that day??

I am sorry I am not able to understand the paradox. Less than an year ago you mentioned, in Oxford, that based upon your ‘personal yet unquantifiable’ experience at the UK border sic ‘where Indians were flaunting their passport and NONE of them in the self doubt of past century. the Immigration officer was a fan of India’? \n\nThen, your personal anecdotal account at an International stage doesn’t represent a tiny bit of reality. In most of the Schengen country we are called a ‘third world’ at immigration and always looked with a doubt. You dont have to travel these countries to get beyond your personal experience but just have a look at the queue at the US embassy in Delhi, and the way one is treated, you would have had your data. \n\nAnd now, in this video you say that a similar Immigration officer is denying visa to Indians. \n\nWhat changed in 8months?

Palki ji i heard you saying that when Indians go abroad they're shown respect due to blessings of Mahamanav. \nNow both of your reports are contradictory I'm confused this Palki or Palki in yellow saree is to be believed. \nThis is happening to Indians coz media has stopped questioning Govt & speaking truth.

And she says people have pride in holding Indian passports. It’s an absolute shame to at such rank in Passport Index \n\nWhen something goes wrong rather than accepting the mistake they say all sorts of nonsense and blame everyone else \n\nAnd BTW, the west does not rely on Indian talent on rely on cheap labor

There is no money in visa free countries for Indian’s they are not going on holidays to Europe they are going to work illegally and behave as a 3rd world citizen…Rich Indian are who are on holidays or business they get visa for long periods. They will spend or invest. Sorry to say That’s the fact

Probably because we are all filled up here with Indians. And its not new they have been coming here in mass numbers since the 1980's. Basically exploiting every known benefit America can offer. They basically come over here as indentured servants to some higher up Indian lets say owns a travel agency see the synergy here.

Indians have no respect for their host country and are involved in lots of crime. They bring their local politics and religion and make a mess about it here in Canada. I also think their mindset is very parochial. For example, you hear some Indians saying they are taking over Canada and behaving arrogantly. The Chinese don't behave in that manner despite the fact they have a huge population. Indian so-called talent is just a farce, It's all about cheap labour. Expect more countries to kick Indians out and put in place stringent visa policies.

Biggest obstacle for Indians is lack of respect for foreign land laws. For last 6 decades one can easily witness how careless and carefree Indians live in their own country. Small things from traffic rule followings, bribery, cheating anyone and everyone who is not alert or crook. Their ill actions from very young age onwards speak much louder than their worthless words. Sorry to say this bitter pill of truth, but as you know well, truth always reveals eventuality. Jai Hanumant -

Palli, do some basic research, call educated indians in Canada/US/AUS to get their feedback. They will say: \n\nYes, countries should REJECT, and only select highgly -qualified and work-experience proven people. Reject people that sjow money (black money from cheating indian-tax). If they already have job-offer guaranteed for 1 year, or got M.S with scholarship, -- allow.\n\nIf indians shit in public beaches, they can't even follow western rules -- FOCUS ON TRAINING INDIANS IN INDIA. Rather than threatening other nations to give visa.

Palkhi as much as I like watching your news your views here need to address real issues. I am a proud Indian who has lived in the UK for over 50 years. However I have to say whilst there are a lot of highly skilled Indian immigrants on work visas who contribute immensely to this country. however we now have a huge community of Indians those who have come over on illegal documents or on holiday visas and then never go back. They end up working in menial jobs or not working at all and perhaps this is an issue India needs to address. Sadly these immigrants will never be an economically contributing asset to this country or any other country and I am not surprised that the visa rate rejection is so high.

May be our passport is too strong now so that they r scared to issue visa... what the Indian godhi media wont tell you about our passport ranking .... they might say its a masterstroke by Modi not letting aindians to work abroad ... they wont say its a weak indian passport getting these rejections

Only the Indian news media and govt says India is rising in power, rest of the world still consider India a third world country. Another thing is when I was in school I had a subject called civic sense, where we were taught about how to behave in public, don't know if that is taught still, if that is not there make it a compulsory subject teach kids from childhood how to behave in public.

Just few days back we were saying indian passport has become very strong and now this.?

Where is that guy Akshay who says Indian Passport is highly regarded.

She was praising the Indian passport a few months back saying people were flaunting an Indian passport at Heathrow and it's not considered weak.\n\nBas nikal gayi hawa.

Good job. \nMost Indians don’t have the etiquette to travel abroad. \nI will say, there should be an even stricter and thorough process to only allow the good samaritans(who can also spend) abroad. The bad ones give us a bad rep.

A few days back palki was saying a proud privilege to have an Indian passport and now she is saying reality. Hypocrisy ki bhi Seema hoti hai

PM and Foreign miniter gets red golden carpet and believe common citizens too get the same. Crazy as basics they ignore in much arrogance. Can Govt dare say we not give visa to ones who rejects Indians. ? Need guts for it.

Last time I saw palki giving speech about how powerful indian passports are and people used to fear abroad when they see Indian passport and now she says Indian visas being rejected ??Hipocracy ki bhi sema hoti hai ???

their (indian) body language says it all.....

Well were you not the one who said they see indian passport and give respect and say modi ji ka country ???

Modi hai to mumkin hai. Akshay kumar was saying that Indian passport has increased in value.

Noo They actually see if it's from North India and Rejection Is High ...\n\nThey'll see The Address if it says Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andra , Telangana, Kerala They won't Directly Get rejected \n\nFew years later once North Indians figures out They'll Upgrade by Asking us to Speak in Tamil , kanada , Telegue , Malayalam \n\nFew years later once North Indian Figures this Out It's goona be hard for entire India to get visa\n\n\nAll Thanks to North Indians
