Students should not be able to seek asylum. They're not in any danger.\n\nIt's a joke. A scam. Canada is impossible to live in due to the failure of our despicable govt.

Are these international students home town in civil war, war or turmoils in their countries? Otherwise NO WAY they can go for ASYLUMS in Canada.

He'll No students can go home

Its Indian students, get it right. How much is this scam costing Canadians?

Students are smarter than the government lol.. they were refused extended work permits, and now they’re applying for asylum

I guess the teachers in India may torture the International students if they go back? Disclaimer this number does Not even include the probable even higher number of people on Visutor Visas

That’s on top of over another 15,000 students crossing over into US to claim asylum. \nIt took this long for Miller to wake up and realize what a mess he and his predecessor have created. \nThey’re still just saying “it’s a mess”… still no plans to fix it. They’re still issuing student permits and still not willing to audit the diploma mill colleges that played a role in this immigration fraud

If they were here under the International Student program, their assilum claim needs to be ignored completely.\nLooking into these fraudulent assilum claims would be a complete waste of resources in an already overburdened system.\nSend them home immediately. The longer we wait, the more fraudulent claims will increased.

Forigen students is fishy as hell, they seem to just come here to work, don't allow them to work at all if they come here, I mean if you are just here for education right?

That is the reason students are supporting Khalistan movement (separate state) so that they can claim asylum later.

Add one question for the student application……. Is there any reason you would seek asylum in Canada…yes or no….if yes state why. If no any future asylum claims will be denied.

RELEASE THE COUNTRY DATA. I am so certain we will see just 2 countries taking the majority of these claims. Why punish all international students if thr problem seems to have 1 or 2 sources? Im sorry, but not every country is in a condition to where we can trust that the students aren't merely using study as a way to get to Canada. Until this issues are addressed back home or can be screened harder here, people from those countries should be banned from applying. Its so ridiculous. If the data shows its like a relatively even asylum application rate from like 10+ countries ok Ill shut up. If its like 1 or 2 countries. ban Ban Ban ffs.

International Students : ❌️\nInternational Scam Artists : ✅️

International students applying for asylum? THAT'S MANIPULATION!!

It used to be so affordable and beautiful before COVID.\n\n\nI would say the real issue is the governance of Justin Trudeau. He invited too many immigrants after COVID (including students and refugees). Spent billions to Ukraine. Unmanaged housing laws and interest rates

Most of Indian students have masters degrees and work experiences but come to Canada to get their bachelors. Does this make sense ?

If colleges stop taking students from India, then 90% of scams would stop.

this proves that so called students from india come here to get permanent residency and earn money not to upgrade skills or go back to india

And if allowed to stay, they will each be allowed to have their family move here as well. So multiply th number of students by 5 or 6.

yeah students are dangerous, PP agenda?

NDP liberal govt need to resign \nUnlimited students , unlimited refugees \nChinese , Pakistan,Bangladesh, Brazil , Indian and Nepal students applying asylum\nSad news

They are not students. \nThey paid international human trafficking operators to get into Canada.

Besides higher English requirements, Canada ?? also needs to check for national security risks.\n- Many Chinese students don't come to Canada to study,\nbut to grab Canadian intellectual properties and \nto *launder corrupt money by buying up big houses.*

Former Liberals Immigration minister Sean Fraser broke our immigration. Now 13k international students , ( probably 95 percent from India ) applied asylum status. These fake asylum applicants know our current immigration is a JOKE and they are taking advantage of the system. “Welcome to Trudeau Liberals broken Immigration”

So they went from being international students to suddenly being in danger overnight? \n\nRiiiiiight.....

International Students don't need asylums. Period

Most of Punjabi students went there to get only permanent residency....that was there only goal....

There should be a cap for each country. How can the government say diversity when majority of student visa and temporary workers are from India. ?

Why do Indian students think studying in Canada means moving to Canada permanently? When you are done with your studies you are supposed to go HOME.

Now there is no job at all for Canadian students and Youngs, after few years these canadins Youngs will be totally homeless, bitter but true.

YGood day. For from context I'll reveal a little about me. I am around 27% Indian, 34% northern African people which is around 61% combined. My other ancestry includes Wales, Sweden, Norway Scottish and Irish, Hebrew/ jew as in from 12 tribes of Israel, However, the world calls me black Jamaican born. I live in small town with population under 41,000 people in northern Ontario Canada for past 21 years. I remember when I came here with company contracted to build and say very few black people mostly French African and some mixed black with some Chinese probably total under 20 people other than white or indigenous peoples. Over the years was steady increase of black, Chinese, Philippino, and my Indian doctor and his family to maybe total around 50 none white none indigenous peoples. Just before pandemic we had a large number of Indian students which was awesome to see considering my heritage as my grandmother on dad side was Indian. But a year before pandemic we noticed many started working in convenient stores and fast food places like most high school students do to save for college/university which was becoming a problem for Canadian students as some employers got incentives or cheaper labour to maximize profits. As pandemic rolled in so it seems more Indian students from other regions in Canada. So, Canada, Ontario, and small town I reside already had huge housing problems as some homes we even to be condemned and indigenous homeless from north increased crime rates and now we had students living beyond building code occupancy with shared living causing rentals to shoot up in prices as landlords became greedy and selfish. This small town of under 41,000 is by some estimates over 55,000 by increasing Indian students who for past 5 years fighting to get permanent residents even though they came as students which proves the goal was always invasion and coming as students was the ticket. If you and rest of new immigrants don't see the problem yet, I'll continue. 95% of taxis have Indian drivers, 98% food and other delivery Indian, 90%+ convenience and groceries, clothing and all stores 90%+ , vehicles on roads 70% Indian, my son barely got into college with 90%+ Indian population in college and his class is 2 white students, himself only mixed , and 2 Africans and 22 Indian students who cheats on a regular basis but professor afraid to confront as they are quick to call racism. But even bigger for me is these Indian students/new immigrants have no respect for the history of Canada and USA not knowing how indigenous peoples were raped tortured and murdered to take over this country and then enslaved African people to build this country while they raped tortured treat less than animals and still suffering with fighting for equal rights for over 400yrs while still being racially profiled and beaten and murdered by police officers because of this colonizers system. Now you come here and benefits from black and indigenous peoples struggles and claiming rights when you have not been fighting the battles with us or for us. Also, the criminal aspects of your community is not being taked about as well which includes extortion to businesses owned by Indians, car thefts, drug trafficking, human trafficking and other criminal activities. There's so much more than just saying you feel unloved by the people you're taking things from for their children and grandchildren and generations without showing any respect as that is defined as selfish. You and many new immigrants forget this is not India and expect everyone to bow to you and that is what we are against. i Have some awesome friends that are new immigrants and are respectful and want to learn about history and current events and impacts they have and how to reprove Canada not destroy Canada

Worst part is the system has to adapt to them not the other way around, many students are taking advantage of the food banks \nWhen they're supposed to be self sufficient when they come \nBrampton does not allow Indian students at their food bank

All are Punjabi students, they are protesting in india as well nothing new..

Already underway... Indian students and immigrants in Australia face hate crimes on a regular basis. \n\nIn Kenya, the local population wants the Indians to get our of their country. \n\nUganda has already expelled Indians once (under Idi Amin) and even today there is widespread hatred for Indians (muendiies, as they call us) amongst ordinary Ugandans. \n\nAfter the beating of Nigerian students in India, the Indian immigrants in Nigeria are not welcome and are targets of increasing hate crimes. \n\nFiji ousted the Indian elected Prime Minister, M.P. Chaudhry, who had to finally seek refuge in India. \n\nMalaysia has seen a rise in hate crimes against Indians too…\n\nMaldives wants Indians out of their country too.\n\nUK, Canada are openly against Indian immigrants as are other European countries.\n\nThe writing is on the wall – Indians are now seen as aggressive self-serving parasites that bite the hand that feeds. Is this trend something we should be worried about?\n\nInternationally, we are now being seen as intolerant, argumentative, hate-mongering, anti-Muslim, anti-Christian bunch of saffron terrorists. Sad.

u coming here for study not for work every student shouldn't be allowed to work u should have enough money or family to help not like that

I'm an international student. I believe this dilemma could have been prevented by having an online interview with each temporary resident applicant, especially students and their spouses, before making an entry decision. I'm not criticizing what the immigration department has been doing, but proposing an effective way that only the right people are coming into the country. This could massively reduce the number of immigrants coming in. However, I believe it is unfair that students and their spouses are left hopeless after spending tons of money on Canadian education.

Of late, JT ( Liberal party) has become the whipping boy of Canada for all wrong reasons especially for the intake of a large number of international students and no one seems to be blaming the Conservative party that actually removed  the cap in 2014.  In 2014, in line with the International Education Strategy published by the  Government of Canada, the ruling dispensation decided to raise the number of international students from around 240,000 to over 450,000 by the year 2022. \n\nAccordingly in 2014, the then ruling dispensation (Conservative party) enhanced the number of international students visas to 327 thousand from the previous cap of 240 thousand.  In 2015, the figure went upto 352 thousand, representing almost a 47% increase  by CPC during their last 2 years in office .  As of 2023, there are over 1.5 million students holding study permits in Canada. \n\nIt is a known fact and no Canadian can sweep it under the carpet that the economic impact from the contribution by international students was felt across the entire country. From a mere $ 9 billion in 2014 it went to $12.8 billion in 2015 and it further enhanced to 15.5 billion in 2016. \n\nBy 2022, the Canadian government reported that the annual economic contribution of international students had increased to $22.3 billion, greater than exports of auto parts, lumber or aircraft. \n\nNow it is for the Canadians  to decide  as to who should be blamed  for  if Canadians feel that their country has become like a third world country- the international students who had contributed more than $22.3 billion to the exchequer of the govt  in the last 10 years or both the mainstream political parties namely Liberal Party and Conservative  Party  that failed the Canadians by opening up the flood gate to international students with  their eyes set only on the economic contribution  by international students  without  realising the after effect of huge unchecked  immigration of students. A myopic approach by the successive governments has brought in all sorts of chaos,  unrest, unemployment, shortage of houses, increase in cost of living etc..etc....to the Canadians. I can only sympathise with Canadins who are facing undue hardship and mental agony because of the wrongdoings of successive governments while worrying about the future of my ward who is pursuing  three years study program there.

Go home, so sick of all the stuff, we don't own lndia students anything. Bye Bye

My parents came to Canada around 1990, and I was born here in Canada. I support immigration but not at the cost to both Canadians and immigrants. Letting in immigrants without a cap is reckless and lead to consequences we face today. Now I believe we need to reduce the number of immigrants, temporary foreign workers and international students until our infrastructure can support Canadians and newcomers.

The brilliant brains of india are not going canada. \nMediocre students are going to canada. \nThe top are going to usa. \nEscape from poverty.

? Too many foreign students hurt Canadians. Stop immigrants till normal situations. ?

Canada is NOT RESPONSIBLE or obligated to India in any way! Indian 'students' are SCAMMING our immigration system...and refuse to leave when their 'studies' are completed. Many cannot even speak proper English, nor do they have the skills to add to our economy...yet they still come and bring their entire family tree with them. Then they call us, their generous hosts, 'racist' when they don't get their own way.

2 days ago, a CBC report mentioned most of these illegal crossings are happening from Quebec and being done by nationals from India and Bangladesh who first enter Canada on student or visitor visa.

The liberal government will meet its waterloo just like they did in Ontario... The liberals have strayed away from common sense immigration policies. Take students in with their spouses, let them work as many hours as they want. Give them permanent residence, let them take the rest of their families here. Open the gates for rich southern Asians to buy up franchises, development companies, hotels etc. that will only hire their own. We are doing so much better now....

What happens to indian international students that already graduated in June 2024 and got a permanent full time job?

Don't burden the Canadian government it's because these indian students got scammed

If they also remove the work permits for students, many will stop coming for the wrong reasons.

Canada cheated poor indian students took there money us visa charge university fees tax etc and now deporting poor students

Thanks for this report..now I made my mind no matter what I will not send my son west,period.my prayer for alls the student there,watching this girl working 12 hours traveling 4 hours,I couldn't breath after listen this,don't send youre kids away in the name of study.
