We need to get out Liberal's from the government and freeze the student and temporary work visa.

It's time for these students to go back home if their studies are done. You are not a Canadian citizen. No one guarantees citizenship in any country.

Your economy depends on Indian students fee u poor Canada ??

Once your student permit expires, you go back to your country of origin. If you want to apply for PR, this should be done from your home country. Work permits should be suspended while Canada is suffering with job loss. CIC needs stop issuing PR to individules who've overstayed in Canada past their permit expiry, not proceed with the PR file. This is a mess, and Liberal government has known about it for decades. No student or worker has the right to stay past their permit expiry, period.

So these institutions never consider their own communities, never mind the families of these students who are giving away their entire life's savings to make them get into these institutions. What a rotten system.

Why Indians from India and Asians Only allowed to come here where is others international students

The problem wasn’t ever the international students, it was the people who let them in for some quick bucks when we don’t have the infrastructure to support them

Thank Justin trudeau for doing this to Canada, am saying this as an Indian. He wanted khalistani votes so he allowed entry to any uneducated khalistani to come to Canada and settle there and become a Canadian citizen through student visa program and falsely claim refuge in Canada claiming to be prosecuted in India just to claim Canada citizenship and benefits.

Great point at the end comparing the student protestors to the brave truck drivers. ??❤

I don't hate international students, and I understand that they came here with hopes for a brighter future. But... evidently, we have to face the fact that this is not the same Canada that it was 10 or 5 years ago. This Canada has fallen so bad it cannot even sustain its own citizens, let alone non-citizens. It's tough luck, but they shouldn't have chosen Canada, not with the way it is right now.

Illegal & Asylum seeker should not be given permanent residency ever in another country full stop \nElse what happened UK will happen every part of the earth. So lesson is does not matter which country they are from Middle East or Indian or Asian all the same even student visa on work all must be strict on work also CASH must be stopped to stop drug dealers and Bank & Polician can take full control of human living each country streamline funds only via notes not cash handling must only way good economy & Finance

Why your country collecting money from international students? Greedy mind took their huge amount of money.. you allowed them to come your country.. now what they will do. Compatition is good, then the more fittest will survive..

White Ukrainian refugees are welcome ( take Benifit’s & welfare) but hard working students paying fee (3 times as compare to local Canadian ) & Taxes, should deport because they are not white. This is racism ???????

Indians students out, Canadians need to work for themselves. Indian students comes with false claims in canada

Many Indians workers and students from UAE are coming here to get their PR. Dubai will never give you PR even if you are born there.

Include the visitors from mainly Punjabis and Indians that received working letters to work while on vactions. Never knew such bully immigratiin existed.\n\nOur knowledge is that when a person or persons enter Canada for vacation, NOT TO APPLY FOR WORKING PERMITS.\n\nSO BASICALLY, THEY WERE IN CANADA TAKING CANADIANS JOBS.\n\nTHESE PEOPLE WEEW NOT COMING FOR A VACATION, THEY MAIN GOAL WAS TO WORK.\n\nTHE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS FROM.INDIA AND PUNJABIS HAD NO PLANS TO ATTEND COLLEGES FOR STUDYING IT WAS ALL ABOUT WORKING OVER 40 HOURS PER WEEK.\n\nTHE INTERNATIONAL FROM INDIA AND PUNJAB THAT ENTER CANADA WITH FAKE STUDENTS VISA, FAKE COLLEGES, FAKE WORKING PERMITS.\n\nTHE FAKE IMMIGRATION CONSULTANTS, STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS WHO WERE ALL INVOLVED IN THE IMMIGRATION FRAUD SHOULD BE ALL DEPORTED TO MOSTLY INDIA, PUNJABI AND OTHER NATIONALITIES.\n\n\nTHEY DISRESPECTED CANADA IMMIGRATION RULES AND REGULATIONS.\n\n\nTHEY ALL MUST BE MADE AN EXAMPLE FOR THE OTHER FRAUDERS OF CANADA IMMIGRATION.

All indian student should deported cause they cheat the system and go to work instead of going to school. Be careful with these indians from India especially.

Maybe universities should be fully privatized. Clearly then see a business model they prefer. \n\nCanadian students are getting shafted. Tax the universities to fund Canadian educations

So many so called international Students from India they demand Permanent Residency by force wow

Are the universities and colleges here to provide education for Canadians first or to make money from International students. They should never rely on international students in the first place to begin with. This is called scamming the general Canadian population, a racket. All these so called universities and colleges provide you with useless degrees and diplomas and you can’t even land a decent job.

There are more asylum seekers and people with no knowledge or skillset and there are also people like from gaza and all there which are not even working and still getting lot of advantages from government why only with international students

If they don't leave i'm not voting let that stick. $1500 ODSP they want times that by 50,000 students \n$75,000,000.00 now times that by 12 months that's $900,000,000.00 you really think Canada wanna waste money ??????

Aren’t they international students? Isn’t part of their paperwork them agreeing they are not immigrating? Why is it he’s saying he’s an immigrant there for a better life if he’s a student then?

Interestingly I don't see any international student but Indian international students in these protests.

How does thr govt and institutions expect international students to pay as high as 56,000 per year and not get permanent residency? Locals cant afford this fee and they are on student loans ..56K per year is an investment and dont forget that Canada advertised that international students are the most adjusted to Canadian life!

David,\n\nYiu need to understand the scam happening right under the nose of govt of Canada in the name of fake colleges getting Punjabi sikh students to Canada. \n\nNo doubt that these students, mainly Sikhs from Punjab, are definitely wrong and don't qualify for the residency but so is the govt of Canada's politicians.\n\nThese students must go back and sue the agents who cheated them by selling the useless courses with an assurance of residency upon completion.

I just hate to see so many international Indian students in Ontario. Truck loads of them. But why why why @justintrudeau

You should make special video for Conestogo college in kitchener , ninety five percent of student from india

Everyone keeps talking about international students. How about refugees? How much money are they getting from our government?

yes canada is not racist and no one can make such generalization. however it is clear by many comments that racism clearly exists. international students are not just from india. they are from many countries. many come from nigeria also but rebel news or harrison and others would not say one word against anyone who is black. if all these people were from uk or europe then would this even be an issue to anyone? be honest. i am not taking sides. i been in canada for 40 years and my loyalty is to canada and for sure i would say there was lot of racism when i came in 1988. from grade 6 to 9 life was terrible here. things changed over time and my kids have not experienced racism for most of there life here but now i am seeing the bullies type that i faced are returning more and more especially online. rebel news and harrison (forgot his last name) are motivating such people. i had 2 racism incident in last few months. majority of indians are not trouble makers and are amongst the richest community in all of canada with the lowest crimes. many indian doctors, nurses, IT sector, engineers etc... now where does the problem lie. it is with poor immigration policies which lowered its standards. the requirements has to be raised higher and highly educated bunch is who we should bring in. many people from punjab india are involved in crimes and drugs and these are the people involved in the separatist movement and jagmeet and justin brought them in for votes. they need to go and so do those who are not loyal to canada. those of you who are racist i can give you a history lesson of the kkk or the crusaders but i know too many good people who i rather not group with you. in fact there is no need to go that route. you can never get rid of all blacks or indians out of canada. we have a history and we have every right to feel canadian as we obey and contribute to the economy and abide the law so f-off.

International Student not true just a pathway to enter canada

These foreign students are being exploited, that's the real problem, and these institutions are just as responsible for creating a system that only cares about the contents of their wallets.

Why is it different???? They come as guests to get education to help their lives in their country now they won’t leave screw that!! close the educational system for foreign students problem solved . Period!!! Canadians are sick and tired of these self proclaimed rights take your education and leave the free ride over. PERIOD!!

“Lol Indians and Chinese run the Canadian economy. Soo many haters in these comments. You are just mad these students come and make something of their lives in a few short years out of nothing while your families been here for generations and have accomplished nothing.\n\nAre you really crying about food banks? Lmao why do you even need a food bank” Jessica Lynn

Canadian Universities have no right to demand anything! CEOs and other execs need to drop down their salaries by a lot. We should have a cap on that. Don't base Canadian's right to education on immigrants, we know that model doesn't work. That has destroyed affordability and all for your relentless greed. We need more Canadians at college, less tuition fees, more federal money into the system and less internacional students. Your model is unsustainable and it was about time for that cash cow madness to come to an end. By the way, we also need to crack down on those fake colleges and outlet diploma mills. Post secondary education is a mess and it should be cleaned up real good.

Get out of Canada. Its time to ban this loop hole these students are using. Go back to India or whereever else they come from and go to school there.

Do they look like a student age ? 40 and 50s

We are in this situation because we were too dependent on international students, particularly those coming to colleges. If you are unable to run them, then just shut them down, only the best will remain…

I have seen many students and people who doesn’t even know how to talk English and they are PR holder \nI know some families who does not have education but don’t know how they landed here

Completely invading our country, that’s how rude their culture is to often so much attitude towards Canadians - come here and ruining canadas job market and housing market as well as our friendly demeanour. Stop immigration, we are the tax payers for our whole lives. International students and temp visas are not entitled to citizenship

I’m an international student from India and I hate these guys for doing this. My work permit is over? I go home. None of these guys speak English and I really don’t know how I got 7.5 bands in IELTS and these guys get 9 bands ??

Truck driver is a international student ??? none of them can speak good English ??.... all for khalistan in English ??

I am an Indian. These people are students from Punjab who are making India ashamed in front of the world. Come back gracefully and let the other Indians be there with grace who are Citizens.

just another foreign student

They must leave. They are adding to our housing problem. \nThere's no jobs for our own youth. Between these students and the temporary foreign workers and the illegal immigrants, Canada's social programs are bursting at the seams. Some of them have no shame in using our food banks and bragging about it online. They are supposed to be living independently. Of course, I wouldn't care either if I was from India. \nThey have to go. There's waaay to many of them.

It’s time Canada winds back international sector and removes PR pathway link. It’s clear Canada can not absorb more international students and work rights need to halted for international students.

I am Indian myself, honestly Indian students cant demand extension, I wish they had fraction of guts to question their own government back home.

The issue of fake students coming to Canada from India or other countries under the guise of education, only to work and take advantage of cheap labour opportunities, is a concern for some citizens. This influx of cheap labour may contribute to lower wages and fewer permanent jobs for Canadian citizens, particularly in industries where foreign workers are employed at a lower cost. Canada must maintain integrity in its immigration and labour policies, ensuring that students come for genuine educational purposes and that the job market remains fair for Canadians. This is a wake-up call to re-evaluate our systems and ensure they are not being exploited.

But how much increased percentage of international students applying for refugee status, lmia etc and will local students pay more after international student poulation are reduced or gone?

International students provide a huge haul of revenue compared to local students. Makes me wonder where all the extra money is going? It’s certainly not for providing a safe, secure environment for Jewish students!! Just another liberalNDP like money grab for elites who siphon the money into their own pockets and NOT into the schools. Canada=corruption. What a shame.
