Lets just simplify: if they are students, they should stay while they are studying. If the graduation is over, this is time to go back.

Maybe the immigration rules should be rewritten. Visitor visas or student visas doesn't mean you are a citizen.

International students…from India. CBC is a puppet and it must stay politically correct and woke.

As a Canadian child (early 1970's) I collected money with my candy on Halloween for people in Bangladesh. We have food banks and shelters and assistance programs for those suffering misfortune and our society WAS designed around public sharable services and programs. When I was a teen, a Guianese immigrant co-worker told me Canadians are stupid for providing handouts to immigrants and he laughed at me for buying his house with my taxes. In recent years there has been an influx of new residents whose focus is how they can take advantage, what they can get for free and those who try to cheat the system and cheat others. The scams and cheating that sends thousands of Indian students to Canada for an education at a school that cant take them is the same kind of scams starting here. The fraudulent proofs of income banks were receiving for house purchases has resulted in an artificially inflated housing market. I just bought a house and my Canadian born Indian neighbors literally gated and locked me out of $6000 of my land, while we were on good terms, because the felt like it. We were a society built on honor, trust and respect and while I wouldn't say its all the fault of Indians, there are by no means a small percentage and its getting worse.

89.9% Canadians against Immigration and specially fake students from India even some Indian/ Canadian Citizens living in Canada for years.

Are schools there for education or profit? If they can no longer afford to run without foreign students let them reduce their expenditures or close down frivolous courses.

International students? I will call them indian students.

“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

You have raised the number of students, their working status, and the employment authorization for students' spouses as a cause for the housing problems in Canada, particularly, it's negative impact on affordability. This is factually true, However, there are two sides to the housing affordability equation, which are the supply/offer on one side, and the demand on the other side . If we need or require the affordability equation to be balanced, we need to deal with both sides of the equation. Furthermore, and regardless of the issue of foreign students, and their spouses, the lack of offordability will not significantly improve, as the supply is the accumulation of many years of deficit, due to bureaucratic, regulatory reasons, and the lacking, or the deficiency in housing policy, at all government levels, and all related taxation, budgeting, financing, and general economic policy adopted , or omitted in dealing with inflation, interest rate manipulation by the Banque of Canada, inadequate competion issues, investment in main street, instead of the Wall of Bay Street, political sanctions, and tariffs, etc..This immigration issue needs to consider the demographic, and labor needs of Canada, while in the same time, or in tandem, prepare for the required housing supply, and other needs, and requirements in term of reviewing the rules and procedures, pertaining to integrating the professional immigrants in their professions instead of excluding them from professional organizations such the medical, and the ingeneering, professions and so on. Many of such professional resources are driving cabs in Toronto, Vancouver,and Montreal. So to blame the housing crises on the immigrants only, will not define completely the housing crisis, and may not help to solve it.

fantastic news!!! Post secondary should be for domestic students first. Perhaps they will focus on the quality of education rather than butts in seats.

do u know what the meaning of temporary and students only ..??its mean u have no guarantee that u become a permanent resident o canadian citizen...

Queens is really cheap for domestic if that’s true. Other schools in Ontario are double that even for domestic students.\n\nOr the figure in the video is way off.

Goes to show how unworthy Canadian education is since these students paid high amounts of tuition as a back door to immigration. The moment that door was closed the output was immediate.

Just ask the students to provide proof of paid tuition fee, exam results etc. When you cannot show it, cancel their student visa

The Canadian visa system has been scammed by unscrupulous travel agents from Punjab and Gujarat. Its a mystery as to how illiterate villagers join Canadian colleges and get PR. The failed immigration system is answerable to the voters and taxpayers. Stop this scam. Deport the students who have done their course. PR is not a natural process after college.

Just like they want int. Students gone and deported, all these university should close, close, close.

Exactly Indian students not international students.

NO INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS, or FOREIGN Workers, stay in your own country

These guys are not students. They are economic migrants. There used and abused the system at will

Just go home if you can't pass your programs as international students. These people wants citizenship when they can't even finish their shooling because are wasting time on this non sense protests ?

Hate international students but love their money..!\nAverage international students pay around 41 thousand CAD + 20635 CAD GIC ....So total around 62 thousand CAD + living expenses in Canada including rent, groceries, transportation, etc....while on the other side, the hate gang who survives on the government subsidies who don't have any skills and live their life by doing unskilled jobs are complaining about international students ruining their economy..! Lol..!\n\nIn 2023, total number of international students: 6824305\nIndian international students: 278335\n\nSo basic calculations of only tuition from Indian international students: 278335 x 63000 : 17155177725 CAD\n\nBut all the hate towards indians..! Hypocrisy..!

This Not is Student this capture canada ?

Immigration ministers have been so incompetent, it’s unbelievable. The so called spouses started a whole industry in Parents countries where the person with student visa would do fake marriage and sponsor their “spouse”, the fake spouse then helped pay for housing and Tution while working full time, what a mess Trudeau & his clown MPs have created

They are scammers and scammers … fake degrees fake ilets criminals fake students .they are not Indian students not international students

Coming to a country as an international student is often a route or excuse some people use to enter countries and then later decide they don't want to return to their country of origin. They than start whining about the new country is their home and they don't their country of orgin or they pay taxes and they should get to stay in the new country. This has nothing to do with requirements for acceptance to emigrate to a new country.

Liberal government needs to fix the problem it created with immigration. Canadians do not want their taxes going to support unlegitimate refugees or students who feel that they should automatically become Canadian citizens after finishing their Mickey Mouse courses. There are enough Canadian citizens qualified and well-educated to fill in Canadian jobs. Canadian citizens have been negatively impacted by the Liberals decisions on immigration.

The universities should also try reducing the administrators by 45% and instead focus on professors and students.

You canadians have woken up a bit late... your country is already in foreign hands.... Students who go to Canada are truly not students....they are job seekers...if you can make money through tin factory universities from foreign students, they earn that money back...

Student visa should go back to their home countru

The politicians from Canada and India don't care if everyone lives in poverty. And getting Canadian citizenship will not solve all your families' problems. Once Canada goes broke there will be no welfare, EI, pensions, free housing, or healthcare so you're better off staying in India where at least you know the language, laws, religion and culture. Also Canada doesn't need anyone murder cases like Hardeep Singh Nijjar!\nThe next Canadian federal election is on October 20, 2025. The politicians would bring in another 5 million foreigners from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, China etc, if they could. But Canada doesn't have enough affordable housing for people born in Canada let alone from other countries. The Canadian politicians want voter banks, corporations want cheap foreign labour, and the WEF want Agenda 2030. The Prime Minister of Canada and India are to blame for this mess. Both Prime Ministers are not doing what's right to take care of their citizens. No point coming to Canada or other any Western countries when you can't speak and read in English, either.\nBy the way, you're better off training to be a plumber, a mechanic, a nurse etc than getting a liberal arts degree. If you're an international student and you can't afford to rent for example in Vancouver and Toronto than don't come here. It's no secret some international students turn to prostitution, sell drugs and go to food banks in order to survive. Don't come to Canada assuming study permits automatically means you will get Canadian citizenship.

no mention of the fake schools that sell student visas to foreigners?

You guys came as students to study not to work or get citizenship

The bottom line is you cannot have Mass immigration of people into a country where the values are completely different there's going to be problems problems with language problems with housing problems with crime for government to have allowed so many Indians to come in at one time in such a short period of time is not good for that country it should have been done over a longer stretch because otherwise it will lead to huge consequences and problems that's the truth you cannot force a country to accept you just because you want to go there people want to preserve their culture and their way of life in their country they have that right you cannot force yourself on another culture our country just because you want to a lot of Indian students were recently busted for fraud by their sponsorship agents that was all over the news even though the government has allowed them to stay it still leaves a black mark on the Indians that they are corrupt and scammers be careful on how you act in the new country otherwise the dog is going to bite your asses understand.

As a Brown dude, these people are getting entitled real fast. They aren’t honoring the agreement thy made on their study permits. While Canada was conquered, the stolen land gaslighting doesn’t seize to amaze me. Almost every land on earth was conquered/“stolen” by someone. If we follow this ideology, land was stolen from dinosaurs….see how stupid it gets?\n\nAre we skipping the fact that these new students (most not all) can barely speak English? Are the IELTS test scores being manipulated?\n\nIELTS dropped their minimum qualification score from 6.5 to 5.5 (dont ask why)?

The gall of these so-called students is breathtaking.

That is why Canadians who had been paying their taxes and are law abiding citizens become homeless coz they lost their jobs coz their jobs are given to foreign students and can't be able to afford to pay their rents and mortgages anymore. \nAnd it's very heart breaking.

Your video pin had 2 indians and 1 black person, i would respect it more if you just gave the countries of these students and spouses so we don't play these dog whistle games. I refuse to believe students from the Caribbean are making up these numbers so lets be clear and stop playing skin games. I hope youd feel as angered if they came from your country...can tell youre not Canadian through n through. How ironic!

This fee for international student is just for education its a deposit for their immigration !! And the universities known it.

Cut all government funding to universities and give the money directly to Canadian citizens who attend university. That way the international and local students can be on the same footing with no question that Canadian taxpayers are subsidizing foreign students while their own children cannot get admission. (The influx of foreign students is driving competitive admission grades to absurd levels, leaving Canadian students with relatively good marks, marks that were considered outstanding 30 years ago, unable to get into universities in their communities.)\n\nThe reality we have here is that Canadian taxpayers still shoulder the majority of education costs in Canada, but those same taxpayers' children are being denied education opportunities in their own communities because of foreign students. This has to stop, even if we have to fire every university administrator there is to get it done.

International students shouldn't be allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

International students are in Canada to study and should be financially secure to make that travel to Canada to study for a few years. After their graduation, they should depart and return to their home countries… no one should be allowed to stay if the society doesn’t need your skill set at that moment of time. \n\nThere are many options for them:\n\n1. Make their motherland great by contributing to their own economy;\n2. Be a good ambassador for their own country while in Canada by respecting our rule of law;\n3. Depart when your temporary time in a foreign country is up! If not, expect to be removed by force!

the net contribution of foreign students and their families to the economy is negative. trudeau and singh's canada is bankrupt and residents are taxed to their eyeballs

Good news\nLet real students come and receive a quality education.

No!! Student visas are just student visa. They cannot stay in western countries indefinitely. We want legal immigration. Stop twisting things. A student visa and work visa's are temporary. Once your visa's are over you go home. You cannot use these visas's as a stepping stone to permanent residency or citizenship. To tell you the truth its cheaper to send them home than keep them. Your protest is null or void. Your rights are in your own country.

In other news PM Trudeau has found credible allegations that Indian diplomats are reducing foreign students enrollment at Canadian Universities. ??

Universities have lost all credibility. Why feed anything into a system designed to help proliferate wars and genocides abroad while increasing surveilance domestically and suppressing dissent from conscionable youth through militarized force? The system is cooked... bring in international students to financially support our failing insitutions, then put unreasonable limits on how many hours they can work. Who can survive this way and who would want to perpetuate a system designed against them?

What an entitlement, i was an international student in the us my visa expired i left without any complaints and this is what we have now.

They come on student visas & enroll in crappy programs. Then demand to be granted PR or work permit. \n\nYou need to leave once your student visa expires & apply for a work permit.

Would be sustainable if it drops another 90%…since last year nearly a million international students were allowed in. 500k is still too high a figure.
