Another international student?

?Arrive as a student knowing or saying you are to return to your home country, then getting upset when your secret intent to stay forever is foiled is just plain ignorant.

Thanks for sharing. I don’t understand anywhere you go if you are international student when you finish school you have to go back where you came from . Now the Indian are taken the job of tax payers. They work two jobs and our children don’t have job .

I am an Indian, but I don’t agree with these protests. You are a student. Get your education and then make your career. You can’t expect a foreign country to be obliged to give you a job as well. There are a lot of opportunities in India. So, why not come back and work in India? If you are good, an Indian MNC will send you Canada or any other foreign country at its own expense. The education loans are for education. I appreciate that there will be implicit expectation that getting a job in Canada will help pay that loan back quicker, but as a student you can’t demand that. You got to respect the law of the country.

Refrain you are not immigrants u are students here to study only

Why did he call himself a immigrant? Isn't he a sTuDeNt?

What country was the landlord from? We find foreigners have an easier time scamming foreigners, due to distrust and racism against renting from locals.\nI'd also look at whether or not these students really have study permits. Many folks AVOID renting from locals because they actually are illegal. \nThat's how they fall into these scams. Trying to work around the laws.

Are Indians the only ones trying to come to Canada? This is completely unfair many other African students and ppl don’t get east acces into Canada.

STUDENTS ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS, STOP ABUSING CANADIAN KINDNESS!!! BEING DISHONEST WILL NOT GET YOU IMMIGRATION, RATHER DEPORTATION!!! IF A CANADIAN GOES TO INDIA WITH TEMPORARY PAPERS, INDIA WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO USE DISHONEST MEASURES TO STAY IN INDIA!!! WAKE UP INDIAN STUDENTS AND STOP YOUR ILLEGAL WAYS TO STAY IN CANADA!!!!!

Most if my friends list jobs to students and i had to go work minimum the funny thing is that the student one year in canada getting 18 i get minimum? We need someone to fix this problem otherwise more people will go homeless?

Is Justin my shitting bullshit for a change and free for all thanks to the Indian international students taking over,? what a joke We've been fooled fellow Canadian's Don't vote liberal?

These students going to fake school ?

I don’t blame the people that immigrated into Canada. I blame our government for bringing them in at unsustainable numbers. Modern slavery does not benefit anyone. \n\nWe need to end temporary foreign workers. \n\n\n\nWe need to end the scam diploma mill international students. \n\nWe meed immigration to fill skill gaps and actual job shortages. Bring people in as permanent residents and eventually citizens. \n\nI don’t want millions of second clsss people in Canada. It’s evil.

If you come as a student or a tourist isnt an immigration visa. You gotta go home

They are NOT victims of fraud. NOBODY said they can stay & work in Canada after graduation! They can go back to their homeland & apply, just like everyone else!\n\nThe STUDENTS have used this program to stay in Canada & go underground take jobs away from Canada!!

Someone told me that East Indian trucking companies in Ontario contract out to India most of their bookkeeping and admin to India with just a skeleton crew here. So you have a fleet of 100 plus trucks driving through North America every day, a lot of the cash/profits goes out of the country, lower WSIB costs that reputable CDN firms have to shore up, etc, etc. Just one example of how ill thought out government policies hurt honest Canadian businesses because they don't enforce regulations unless there are many, repeated complaints. Just like the foreign student, temporary worker program, these problems won't come up years later, but are happening now. Government oversight has to be better and more timely.

Those Indians are not students. They are ? settlers.

You also need to include the deluge of fake asylees with students and TFW. Everyone is so obsessed legitly with those two groups that no one is mentioning the surge of easy visitor visas to those turning into fraudulent asylum claimnants and clogging the system. They're being paid on average 17K from taxpayer (stats from govt. PBO), creating pressure on housing and jobs. As a matter of fact, this group is worse than students and TFW coshidering the latter group is paying something in the Canadian economy (although that contribution is negligible at this point). I would also like to point to not conflate real asylees with these visitor visas to asylum seekers. They are economic migrants and NOT any asylee; fraud perpetrated by JT and his incompetent ministers.

Truth is Canadians don’t have money to go to university…. They depend on student loan from Immigrants hard work n contribution to the economy. Is it not an irony ??????? Also remember international student pay 3 to 5 times more for school fees in cash!. Government knows this but you don’t??

Students and TEMPORARY workers. Temporary!!!!!! \nWe opened doors for it Temporary, we don't need them anymore, it's not their country, time to go home.\nThey are more then welcome to apply for skilled positions, many of them open.

40 year old Pizza delivery driver posing as a student. ? Ironic he was scammed by someone posing as a landlord. They have no place here.

Is he an international student come here to to study or a legal qualified immigrant ? If they consider themselves smart enough to come to Canada to study they need to be shrewd enough to blend into the system.

If you come to Canada as student then you are a student not a worker period. Why complicate things?

Indian woman scamming Indian students...Shame on her!

Student ya right the guys like 35 year old uber driver

DO NOT BLAME INTERNATIONAL STUDENT. There are agents working for all colleges and universities as a recruiter for student. They receive commission from universities. How many billions all colleges and universities made in last 10 years from charging double tuition fee. Investigate all Canadian consulate employees world wide to find out how much money was flowing in corrupt system. Our failure in system and now we are blaming students. colleges created courses to get more students and make more money.... and guess what... that course has no value....like networking course for IT. student who came in was fully trained in networking....he just wanted PR in Canada....

International students is times 3 or 4 every time

Not every student here is bad . Blame only those who are creating problems .

Not every student is same . Please Blame only those who are creating problems and not following the rules .

Don’t blame every student . Some of them are studying medicine and becoming doctors and nurses and contributing to this country . Please stop blaming all .

The government under Trudeau is a disaster and it shows that he does not know what he is doing. He is giving foreigners the chance to thrive in Canada and does not think of the Canadian residents. A lot of the students uses every loophole to stay in Canada either before and after education to secure permanent residents. Why are students allowed to work. They are supposed to help the economy by going to school, not taking jobs from Canadians.

Why are so many International students especially from India saying their immigrants they're not immigrants they are students get that through their your skull

Not every student is same . Some are genuine . Please Stop blaming everyone.

Those students who are genuine , following all the rules and regulations becoming doctors , nurses deserve to stay .

Jokes, jokes, jokes. You are here for studying. Finish your education and go back to your home country. All of the students must be deported asap. Indians are very proud of their country India, why are they trying to get PR in Canada.

They are entitled they think to anything they want driving people CANADIANS out of jobs. Yes they do shit all over the beaches. I live close to wasaga and the reason why the mayor says nothing happening and all misinformation is because he is a Communist Liberal traitor to the people and are hiding and denying everything because they created the problems by letting them all in through student visa and keeping the border also open to them. It has to stop or this won't go where u people or anyone really wants!

TRUDEAU IS A BIG LIAR, TRAPPED INDIAN STUDENTS TO MADE GOOD ITS RECESSION AND TO BOOST ITS ECONOMY. COLLECTED ADMISSION & TUTION FEE , NOW WANTS TO KICK OUT THEM FROM CANADA.

International students can not work ....only study.....it was like this 20 years ago

Spouses of international students should not be allowed to work here and international students should not be allowed to work more than 20 hrs. International students who are here for only a one year program like MED should not be given work permit now are permitted for PR. They won’t continue in teaching as they are not skilled to teach kids here. They perceive other professions they are using the program only to get PR. They are coming here not o study but to stay here.They are even using food banks when Canadians who are in need are struggling for food here.

This is destroying our young generation that are born here in not being able to have a job. They have NO RIGHT TO MAKE ANY DEMANDS. When your student visa is expired, you go back home, PERIOD!!!!

Not so acurate information. During the college time students can work only 20h/week. Unless it has changed. \n\nAlso, it’s IMPOSSIBLE to get permanent residency before graduation because you need Canadian experience (full time) for at least 1 year in specialized areas. \n\nOnly if you successfully complete your program you get the full time work visa per 3y. In this time it’s going to be possible TO APPLY for permanent residence. \n\nBut not only that. Canadian experience give you extra points in the immigration program, but also a Bachelor’s degree, or a master degree, work experience in your back country, English level, and age. \n\nI don’t know for certain countries if the rules are different, but as long as I know, it’s the same for everybody. \n\nWhen I came as an international student, I had to prove the college was paid, also show I had enough money to support myself for 1y without work. Also, the program at college that costs $4000/semester for a Canadian student, it costs $8-10.000 for an international student. \n\nMy work visa (during college) allowed me 20h per week working only. \n\nTo get my study visa approved I had to show intermediate English, money, work experience, Bachelor’s degree (I have also a master’s), and explain why I wanted to study in Canada and why that program was related to my current career. \n\nTalking about jobs; I have worked as a housekeeper in a hospital (on weekends). After I graduated I became supervisor. \n\nSome people complain about students and immigrants getting the jobs, but what I’ve seen was a lot of people complaining EVERY DAY about their jobs, about their lives, etc…but doing absolutely nothing to change it.\n\nI got here as a student, I became immigrant, I worked as a cleaner, I graduated at college.after 2y working full time I got the permanent residence, and I was back to school. \nI got a Master’s degree at McMaster University, and now I am a manager in a big hospital. \nImmigrants taking the jobs??? I don’t believe so. I did to deserve it. \n\nSo, don’t put everybody on the same basket. There are bad people I know, but also there are people willing to grow and make the country grow as well. \n\nLast, but not least, I don’t think the COUNTRY has more people that they can handle. I think the big cities have. Government should look into that. Everybody wants to come to Vancouver, Toronto and Calgary. It’s a big problem. \n\nToday I’m a Canadian Citizen, I respect the laws, I respect people, I respect the life in society, and I do not look to impose my culture in here, I’m proud to live here and I want this country to grow even more.

Fantastique!! I am Canadian citizen lived in Canada for 30 years!! Worked at McGill university for 25?years after my PhD(Medicine) from McGill. I too started from scratch even being a MD respiratory specialist, as PhD student. Good analysis..

ll levels of USA, UK, Australian, UAE, Russian, Chinese and Canadian government need to check every single Indian student's background weather they are working for Indian secret services agent or supporting. Hindu fascist Modi. \nToronto and Brampton and other part of GTA these Indian Students are involve in Murders, house break in , streets crimes and frauds. \nTrudeau Liberal , NDP and Conservative all parties in Canada support Free Khalistan., regardless who become PM will continue support to Free Khalistan from Indian.

Please do not call this international students..its the indian origin students who think its their right to protest all the times..send them back please...

They are not students, they come under pretense as students; they know the loopholes to enter free without applying properly and check background

I will say once and for alll. *not international students. *Indian students

Do these students have no dignity?\nBegging another country to stay?\n\nIf they passed laws that reduced immigration, then why leave super pooper?

EDIT: UPDATE. And then there is this....\n\nRamanpreet Singh, a 25-year-old man from Brampton is charged with: \n \nPossession of Property Obtained by Crime (3 counts) \nFlight from Peace Officer \nDangerous Operation (Of a motor vehicle)\n(This is lenient. The charge should rightfully be Reckless Endangerment of a Police Officer) \nObstruct Peace Officer (In an arrest) \nPotentially damaging a Canadian Landmark and/or Treasure (Tim Hortons) - I added this. Life sentence.\n\n\nBut you guys are nothing if not entertaining so enjoy for yourselves: \n\nhttps://youtu.be/NgrutzeSuI0?si=DaW5iBWweG3SsawX\n\nStill not embarrased? Haven't whet your appetite for whole-heartedly becoming Canadians?\n\nBut wait, there's more....\n\n\nOriginal post:\n\nFirst, well done. That must have been hard. Now, you are beginning to see. What you are doing is necessary.\n\nTruth is often harsh. Yes the Canadian government were ill prepared for the ramifications of their decisions. But they do not owe you anything. You have also neglected to mention small details. Details which I presume, must seem normal to you from life in India: \n\nDetails like, as a peaceful nation that embraced multiculturalism, Canada has never in recent memory had an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) shatter the peace of how we choose to live. The events in Mississauga's Bombay Bhel restaurant in 2018. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Assimilate to our culture and peaceful norms or get out. \n\nDetails like, being a nation that pays heavy taxes we value transparency in our political leaders. So no matter how we feel about our Prime Minister, when Justin Trudeau calls out the Indian government in assissination of one of their own people on sovereign Canadian soil, we tend to believe him. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Stand up, grow a spine, accept and be accountable or get out.\n\nDetails like, protesting the reduction in international student quotas and demanding extensions of the PGWP post graduate work permits. Protesting government decisions is the right of Canadians only. As visitors you simply do not have the right. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Comply or get out.\n\nDetails like, public display of fighting in the streets. Gatherings in large numbers at private homes and venues. Further defecaton at gas stations. The carrying of swords (not ceremonial kirpans or daggers - less than 12 inches long) to these protests. That is UNACCEPTABLE. Do it and we will put you out.\n\nDetails like, illegally crossing into the United States. Our long-time allies and friends to the South. Crossing in such large numbers as to exceed migration levels at their Southern border from Mexico. Making our political counterparts in the United States doubt our ability to govern our own country and mitigate threats from terrorists. This too, is UNACCEPTABLE. \n\nThese hostile, desperate and oppurtunistic ways are not how we choose to live in Canada. We are hard working and given an honest job, which some of you now occupy, do an honest days work. We have a long history of peace but also a reputation for upholding it. Tread lightly and learn if you value this country as your home.
