The situation is not the fault of the students or the Indian students. It's solely the fault of the Canadian government because no Indian student can come to Canada without a student visa. They are accepting so many students only for financial gain. This is a result of corruption. But unfortunately, all the hate will go towards Indian students even when it's the government's fault. Many students have been misled by Canadian colleges, they have invested a significant amount of money and contributed to the Canadian economy, only to find themselves unable to secure employment. As a result, they are left with no choice but to return to India and confront their families and communities. This is a major factor contributing to the high number of students returning to India in unfortunate circumstances even suicide.

Hilarious to see the descendants of people who invaded 5 continents and slaughtered natives everywhere are today whining about people moving legally by studying and finding work while smoking meth and day drinking on the street. If despite being yt, with all the advantages of opportunities for education, community support, you were lazy and ended up homeless and a meth/alcohol addict, it’s your failure

If there was any feelings for the Palestinians, the Middle East Arab nations would have taken in there own brethren but no! It’s each man for himself “who cares when thousands are being massacred by the Israel government “ Shame on the Arab community!

Hope you dont delete this its the norm of a certain community. If theres a knife to be worn in public in your religion, its wrong. You gotta put it outside of calculation in public because its not a turban of cloth its a bloody knife. Jihad and knives not encouraged sorry. The guy ofcourse did it deliberately usko pata hai they don't encourage it here. Why then in pak hindus are wearing hijab and are prosecuted ? Population has come to1% people are aware of who's supporting who.

What shocks me the most is how you allow a single country to completely dominate your immigrante community. Is this what you call Diversity? Doesn't seem much diverse to me ??‍♂️.

Unfortunately, the racism is what you will find throughout North America, not just in Canada, but especially in the US. I must admit that Canada is not Canada I knew growing up. So much has changed and some not for the better. But if you are looking for a better life, than I wish you both the best of luck for you and your children. In many of the countries you have mentioned of having a strong muslim community, that may be true, but you also need to look at the economies and environment of wars amoungst peoples....Good luck to you and i pray that you will find what you are looking for.

Poverty breeds desperation .\nDesperation breeds crime. \nCrime breeds victims and suffering. \nVictims and suffering breeds hate. \nHate breeds more suffering and victims. \nThe results....lack of safety, community erosion, helplessness, and FEARS, SEEN OR UNSEEN!

This video reeks of Racism, laws (if they want to be fair) can never retrospective in nature/application. All the students who are already in Canada should have the option to be eligible for a PR, they (the Indian students) went there for a better life, they have their entire existence dependent on the fact of becoming a Canadian citizen eventually. Deporting them would be a loss for India as well as Canada, as many of them will end up with depression and feeling of failure. \n\nThe Canadian government must allow these student who are already in the country to apply for citizenship and make citizenship and PR rules stricter going forward. From what I know, Sikhs are upstanding and outstanding community and great addition to any society, Canada will be much better off having them, than leaving them in a bad state by deporting them.

Brampton, a once beautiful community, is supersaturated with jeets. Sad.

I am an international student as well and i can totally understand the situation of my community student and it is not just for Indians but for other international students from some other countries are also suffering because of unfair PNP draws. The thing is that only Indian came in-front to raise their voice and media is targeting Indians to leave. This is not fair at all. At least government should provide justice to them, as every international student on work permit are doing hard work to serve the community. Please, do not spread manipulative messages against Indians. Thanks

First of all this is wrong and misleading, i respect and like this country as any other Canadian. Second this is country of immigrants ,if there were no immigrants you would only see the local Aboriginal Peoples. No white none other race the reality you immigrated actually colonized ki**** local community destroyed there houses and believe ,not that long check online check Canadian records just 2-300 years only not that long you captured the land probably ensl**** everyone. This the reality at least the immigrant today follow all rules made by government, respect people, we all are educated people we immigrated here to have better live and it's really ignorant that a person can just call you you don't belong here even we am equal tax payer if not more, payes triple amount of college fees than local people, work tirelessly follow the rules and then if something injust happens we are not able to express ourselves, what kind of humanity is this. Look into your hearts, if the Citizens do something wrong not follow the rules they are fine they still live here, if an immigrant do something wrong he is deported instantly. Do be ignorant don't judge a book by it's cover. Do discriminate.

Only white Europeans have the god given right to take over lands and establish countries and communities everywhere.

I know for a fact that 95% of Indian and African students don’t even attend their first semester and withdraw before their tuitions are kept. They usually apply to private colleges. I work in social and community services. Many of them come with mental health illnesses and the parents pawn them off to Canada on the pretense of them going to school only to end up on social assistance because they can’t find work.

I have talked with many of the people from India ,it is very common for them to come to Canada through the education system just to get a work permit then quit school, work and send the money that they made to India instead of spending it in Canada. They have YouTube and podcasts within their community that discuss how they can subvert the Canadian system.They go for the highest paying jobs they can get with the lowest credentials such a trucking putting them in direct competition with Canadians of lower means.

They should be treated as others diaspora communities. If Gov. do not justify these action crimes will unstoppable like immigrants issue and housing issue.

Ha! I just graduated from college. Literally 90% of my classmates were from India. Most of them couldn't care less about classes. Had 2 of my capstone project team mates hand in CGPT generated work the entire project. Most of the actual local students (This is a Calgary Community College, you can guess which one) were protesting the fact they get pushed to graduation handing in this crap which lessens the achievement of the people who actually came there to learn. Its a shame and Im glad to see them go!

Pls Punjabi/Sikh community stop coming to Canada why you’re selling your land and taking loan to come Canada,however india is way better then Canada if you get well education in india you can live very good instead doing labour job in Canada, you can’t fulfil your dream in Canada but you can do labour job as you all like the most

It is interesting that most immigrants groups gets accused of bringing a criminal element amongst them. However Sikh from India, are very noticeable for their charities that benefits all the community. This should be highlighted to have a balanced view.

It is common for people on this community to never assimilate and instead try to change the place they live into the place they escaped from. So bizarre. Wish you the best of luck either way.

So i was born and raised in Canada and a visible minority.and have lived in brampton i wont lie brampton/canada is india i lived here for over 30 yrs. And 40yrs in Canada, which dosent except me nor dose my ethnic community. SO WHATS NEW.

@12:01 Tyler states you do need to be quite particular about choosing where you want to live in the US, going on with examples of locating communities with “like minded people” to yourself.\nThat to me is a bizarre statement, communities that have like minded people , where everyone has the same political, religious and social beliefs will have no opportunity for understanding and learning different perspectives / points of view or new ideas, new ways of doing things, no ability to accept or be okay with differences.\nLiving in a like minded community is essentially coddling and doesn’t allow one to evolve.

Let's accept the fact 90% Canadians are immigrants....the actual citizens are Native Indians.... Not to forget that Punjabis are hardworking and tax paying community....that contribute much to Canada's development....

This is such hasty generalization. Just because one dude is acting like a jerk doesn’t mean everybody else in that community does. In fact, no one does.

Well, quite frankly, immigrants that arrive here DON'T ADAPT TO OUR VALUES. Why in the world do you think it's fine to go to a protest about a hotly divisive political issue that has been at war with each other since 1948?? Of course any local Canadian (and especially pure rooted ones) are going to massively frown on you and dare to comment at you about what you're doing!! What did you expect?!? Zero respect for our Canadian land to come here live among us while supporting foreign communities at war?? Zero self-awareness that you're encouraging local groups that bring that issue here!! Bye-bye!

Well, at least the LGBTQ community and liberals are happy, a beautiful and successful example of democracy. That's what matters the most! ?

I noticed that if the community live by an Indian is so dirty and lot of thrash on the road. It looks like they the way they do in their country they do it in Canada. That’s unfortunate for Canada ?

Ya, you are right. As muslims, we are on the same path. Allah has commanded us to live in a community and place where we and our children can have an islamic atmosphere and can practice our religion easily. Muslims are a big target in these countries now a days especially after escalation of gaza genocide. West has decided to target and get rid of all muslims of the world and have been targeting muslims and muslim countries for dacades. Heinous crimes have been conducted in iraqi and guantamo bay jails, and during attacks in syria, iraq, lebanon, afghanistan, yamen, sudan, kashmir, palestine and so many countries in the world. But West doesn't accept or regret what they have been doing.

They have no intention of living and let live, they are sad and aggressive people calling it a community when they prove that until we got diversity we didn't have segregation we do now

I'm reading a lot of peoples problems here and I keep asking myself why has all our systems in this country keep failing us? I have noticed a aggressively progressive decline in the last 10 yrs in Banking, Healthcare, Community Services, Safety etc. I can list pages of issues and yet we tolerate this by continuously electing our government at all levels keeping them in power and not holding them accountable for their actions or decisions. We need to do better and get more involved!

Well, it’s no surprise, but I agree that although Canada embraces and welcomes multiculturalism, it should be enforced that those cultures blend in. I think the issue is that the government allow community centers. I would think it’s better if the government allocate and spread evenly certain businesses. I think that can spread the diversity in all areas.

Immigration should be healthy from all community over the world, western europe africa, asia etc...then when it is balanced you don't feel lost

News flash Brampton was all indian back in the early 90's...its always been a shit hole of a community. It has turned into India, you can smell it before you can see it..

Do you have the same attitude about Italian, Chinese or Portuguese communities?

Dont come to america i believe its even further downhill then canada as far as society. There are muslim communities where you can send kids to school but they cost alot of money so theres that. We want to wleave America for the same reaso s

It also doesnt help that the gov are just expanding cities instead of building up smaller communities with all amenities. Id love to move more north but there are just no job opportunities.

I'm Canadian; lived abroad for several years (in Europe). I returned here a few years ago and one of the things I love about Canada, which I really noticed was contrasting to Europe, is that we are not afraid to be self-critical (even extremely so), to re-visit the injustices in our past, acknowledge them, and work to try to rectify them. Also, there is a strong sense of community: most Canadians want to help improve their communities and help our fellow citizens. There are indeed some serious problems, as there are in all other countries, and we hope to overcome them and improve our society by working together. For me, one of the beautiful things about a country, what makes its society really interesting and even attractive, is our ability to constantly recognizing our mistakes and faults and try to improve upon them.

African community of Toronto please help your brothers and sisters offer them a place to stay in your home because sleeping on the street is terrible

Punjabis in foreign are very anti-India, yet they retain their OCI cards. Why do these Angrez- Sikhs have a say in Indian politics when they have become nationals of other countries like Canada, the UK, and the USA? I don't see Gujarati or other Indian communities that have settled abroad, become so anti-Indian. Only the Punjabi think it is only their issues that matter and need publicity. By the way, I have personally seen a lot of discrimination in their community, especially between Jatt and Dalit Sikhs. Maybe they should look within, before looking for a new state.

They are the least and the most powerful community in Canada who owns from Nova Scotia to Vancouver all your syes money in pocket of one person ??

Put a single Indian, they will bring the whole community after they settled.

There is a lot of hate towards people of Indian origin in Canada, especially due to social media influence that portrays a stereotype and negative image, however, there are many Indian immigrants too that are leaving Canada for good, because apart from rising expenses, living costs etc, people are done with the hate towards the community as well

@Harrison, there a bunch of holes in your story an thus superficial or lacking, yet has potential to be more Canadian in that you need to differentiate a bit more, attention in the details that you may have missed, votebank, Punjab province certain cluster of uncouth or gang type, instead of drawing in all religions and races and the best educated like how the US does with it, instead of a votebank cluster, that make up only 3% of the Indian population, yet 50% of Brampton, yet Canada is slower to do such. As I hope you know that, in that in Canada a city doesn’t usually choose newcomers directly factors of, ethnocentrism, pricing, etc are.  \n\nIt was or used to be that newcomers in many cases had to move to less populated centres i.e. in Saskatchewan/Manitoba etc, to help make the place more profitable and big as born Canadians usually didn’t want to move there. As your worst nightmare, me Canadian born Indian with a more Canadian accent than yours, yet I speak French yet am from the GTA. You should dig deeper instead of the old squeaky rhetoric repeating, you forget to mention Gurudwaras do have langar known as no charge meal, but you have potential to be known and yet ask people if they or why they are or aren’t willing to integrate. Any colour fair game, aside from asking Ukranian displaced on temporary refugee visa, not bc they are lacking melanin protection, but because their country is unsafe from aggression by a crazy. However, social programs are missing or drug users not willing to take up a program for various reasons. Maybe through proper fact checking, explain how India has over 200 ethnic and linguistic communities and why only one group is province, ethnic/attitude is prominent in Canada.  \n\nAlso do explain that there were many that were here in late 1800’s along with Chinese and Irish making railroads dragged over by British, the same British who invaded lands of established native nations people in Canada. Who are suffering from drug and alcohol problems likely tied to psychologic hurt to their fam or poor conditions, not just saying laziness etc.\n\nAlso to the incompetent people who think Indians only eat curry, which curry is largely a British invention, hence the last name in UK of caucasian people (white) of “Curry”, it is fun to laugh at ignorant or stupid people of any ethnic group bc it signals monkey brain intelligence. \n\nAlso, how about report on the alleged Nazi ties of poorly screened or liars who came from Ukraine circa 1940’s, even alleged ties to some poli in Canadia. \n\nGood street level reporting, just focus on facts and non sensationalist approach for a large win and even ethnics who agree with you.

If you wanna see real face of Sikh community come to see in plaza

This is happening all over the West. Why is the West so many visas to Indians? Even Westerners of Indian heritage are complaining of their communities being swamped by these people, it’s causing tension, people do not want to see their communities changed over night.

I think Canada lost the plot of integration. \n\nBeing an Indian, I do agree that immigration needs to be in controlled- not stopped but controlled so that the immigrants get time to contribute to the community and also integrate.\n\nAlso looking at the video the first man who was sitting and smoking, it will be good to know how he is contributing to the community aswell.

Just don't go there if you don't like it, they self-segregate in their own communities, unlike a lot of other immigrants.

This is exact how did the west indian fell when influx of white immigrant into their land and occupy their community. take the fair turn please.

To be fair, in the first few seconds...I've seen communities in various countries that look Canadian/American or European, and that's not where the country was.\n\nYou can find pockets of people gathering together, hear a lot of English, find a lot of restaurants and products in stores that those people know and are comfortable with.\n\nIt's not just pockets in Canada or Britain...it goes both ways. Historically and now.

One of the old time wrestling icon Tiger Singh was a Indian community leader in Brampton.

What about other ethnic enclaves like Greek town, China town, Little Italy, or Black and Tamil land (Scarborough)? Markham is full of Chinese. Richmond Hill is Persia town. Vaughan is Italian. Stop demonizing/targeting one community again and again. This is what you call Racism!!
