Hello Mam, thanks for the update amd all you do. God bless you real good. Kindly, what are the chances for international students intending to come in for a 2 years Bachelor's Degree, in a DLI, not a 4 years programme as one would have expected, nor a Masters programme. Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

Most Indians I speak to here want to remove all H1B and F1 student visas. Indian origin people themselves want to prevent Indians from coming to the US. Let’s see what Trump does

Can international student come with their dependent children

Never see yourself in the truth face. The rejection rate simply indicates the applicants are not fit for the purpose that you declared.???\n\nAll student visa applications should be banned because they are not genuine.???

Because twenty thousand Indian students went missing in Canada.?

Good morning Ma but Master student still exempted from these law 18 months coures.

Deport these international Indian students. Now !!!

Coming to the US and Canada on;\n\n1. Work visas using fake documents.\n2. Fake passports.\n3. Students visas and then working full time.\n4. Fake marraiges.\n5. Becoming gays and lesbians to get assylum.\n\nI think Indians should be banned for getting US and Canada visa.

Because of People like Palki. You said Indian passport is the great because it is from the country of Modi which is ranked 85 globally 2025 PERIOD. Facts, Indian F1 students are submit fake documents like security deposits in bank (scam), the reason of study (fake), job experience after education (fake), interview process (fake) during CPT, OPT even on H1. I took nearly 40 interviews in 2024 out of which 28 are with Indian background, 24-25 of them are trying to cheat the process in different ways. 2-3 are genuine but they lack skill. Now the people like Palki are trying to lecture about India in Oxford? ?????

Because Indians are ruining the countries where they go as students and demanding they get permanent residency. Especially those from Punjab, Haryana & Rajasthan.. cars pe unke states ke naam likhte hain aur gandh failaate hain..

Tell the truth to your Indian community the reason India is losing its passport acceptance because they have lied to developed countries. IT guys are under qualified what they have shown on their degrees most of them have bogus degrees that's why Canada have failed all Indian students they could not pass Canadian entry level test, USA has also have found out the hard way that Indian coming to USA have lied on their degrees and not qualified for the position. All scammer are from India, look in u tube scammer tracker and see how they cought scammers from India. Please wake up and do not listen to GODI MEDIA factitious development all in papers but in reality India still veiy very poor country, all is well documented and well documented in western media, recent study shows that India is 111th nation in hunger index out of 125 countries of the world ? well documented all I said is well documented all I did just reiterated.

Here's a refined version of your message:\n\n---\n\nThere is a significant number of Indians in Australia and New Zealand, many of whom initially arrived as international students and chose to stay. This has contributed to a rise in house rents and increased difficulty in finding accommodation. With a population of 28 million, Australia sees a high presence of Indians, who often fill many job positions, making it challenging for citizens to find employment. The Australian and New Zealand governments are partly to blame for issuing visas without expanding housing and job opportunities to accommodate the influx of visitors, students, and immigrants.\n\n---\n\nI hope this helps. If you need any further adjustments, feel free to let me know.

There are too many fake international students in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, in contract signed student are expected to be finically independent many lied on their visa application form, providing fake information is a crime. once in CAnada many depend on goverment and local social agencies to provide for them.

We indians filling up other countries.\nAnd destroying their culture and scamming people job scam, visa scam, student visa scam scamming older citizens in other countries scamming our own people.\nEvery country should stop indians entering their countries.\nUntill unless they behave and they have legit documents and experience.\nBecause of some fake Indians legit talent is not getting chance.

This post over-simplifies the situation. The reason Indians get rejected is because Indians abuse the visa system. How many Indians come to the US/UK on student visas and immediately start to look for work? How many sham Indian-American IT outsourcing companies rent their H1-visas to the highest bidder? How many Indians simply overstay their visas?

I don’t know about rest of the world but in the US alone, 700,000 Indians entered the country either illegally or overstayed their US visa just last year alone. In Canada, some Indian international students were discovered to have forged their education documents and now have been deported. Temporary workers are demanding permanent residency after work visa extensions have been cancelled due to housing shortages & increasing unemployment rate. \n\nIndian people in general are good workers but these protest aren’t helping and demanding they be allowed to stay while their documents are forged is upsetting Canadians. It unfortunately grouping everyone together.

They want professionals to work not visitors or students.. My sister in-law waited 2 long years to see her husband who is working in the USA

Didn't Hindustanis attack African students just for being black. How do they expect other cultures to welcome millions of Indians?

Starting to feel Palki is biased towards India than being an honest journalist. Did you even bother to check why Indian visas are getting rejected in these countries? What the rejection reasons were? \n\nAs many have already commented, I will put across a list for Palki -\n\n1. Indians are Indians even outside India, well, what good are you if you do not wish to be integrated and become part of the society? \n2. Do not like to research, and instead ask questions to save time which is bad manners.\n3. Complaining is in our blood about everything.\n4. Be respectful and be considerate of others.\n5. If you are applying for a tourist visa, be a tourist and should return when the visa expires. Get a good insurance which most of the time people are not un-aware.\n6. If you apply for student visa, be a student and do not exploit the visa or violate any rules and extend your visa stay.\n7. If you are hired for work, honour the work permit rules.\n8. Last but not the least, be a good citizena and don't do anything which may spoil your countries' image.

Sir ji , don't rent the house to one family , rent it as shared apartment to students

It’s not fair! If a person comes to America legally on a student or marriage visa, their parents have to pay everything to bring them here, and those individuals cannot receive government assistance for five years. However, if someone comes here illegally, they are given free housing, cars, money, healthcare, food stamps, and other benefits. We need those resources for our own citizens, as our country is already struggling. If you can’t come legally, please stay in your country.

We should also start rejecting foreign person visas in equivalent proportions..especially when other countries are intentionally rejecting visas of good knowledgeable and well to do Indian people/ bright students. This is racism

As per Immigration Department press released a couple of days ago, in 2023 of 50,000 Indian students who came to Canada 20,000 never even registered at school let alone attending classes. Students visa is misused on large scale by immigrant.\n\nAlso one need to keep the number of immigrants. \nBrampton has become the 2nd largest city in Ontario superseding Ottawa and Mississippi largely due to students. Brampton is mostly populated Indian and Pakistani. 3:33

It is because some Indians are scamming other countries! Look at Canada, about 17,000 students with student visa went to Canada but never enrolled in to school, not good

What crappy reporting. Every country uses reciprocal visa policies. India has very stringent visa policy hence the reciprocal treatment. The fake students India exports is also a big big reason for the lower passport ranking.

Does this host watched tv shows such as “nothing to declare” and “danger Tv”? Many people think that because they think that they are cleaver enough to circumvent visa interviews, falsify documents required to impress foreign embassy staff, get visa on false pretenses because they have money, connections in domestic government or someone overseas to curry favor them, then no wonder your visa application would be rejected and fees forfeited or you would be turned down entry to your dream country on arrival and deported back to your home country. People even dare to charter a flight to Maxico with a plan to cross the border and into USA, like a flash mob, without a visa. Well you don’t have entitlement for that, just like you don’t like Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Rohingya crossing your borders by any means.\nHow many Indian agents have befooled fellow Indians who want to go and work in UAE, Behrin, Muscat, Qatar, Oman, Jordan and Saudi Arabia but landed on one of the beaches of India or have their Passport taken away to make them work like a slave in servitude by their fellow Indian contractors? Let us talk about that.\nLet us talk about how many Indian parents and students so foolish to see admission in universities or unaccredited fake colleges in Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Russia and Russian federation countries but no serious intention to study but intention not to return but figure out magic trick to PR and citizenship without really caring to understand how immigration works and what would actually qualify to deserve immigration visa? Sham marriages is one of many tricks that people pursue despite knowing that chances of success are really very remote. Let us talk about that.\n\nLet us talk about fake colleges that “donations” to admit “students” who failed to perform because their parents have money to justify entitlement to buy degrees and fake colleges print it out in return to “donations”?\n\nIt doesn’t end here. You get to these destinations by hook or crook, you eventually get busted, yet you have nerves to be cocky, pretend to be robbed, discriminated, cheated, victimized instead and gather nerve to seek PR, green card, white card as compensation and even a job? I mean how far you would go thinking world is stupid and you can prove it.\n\nSORRY, there are hard working, intelligent and qualified Indians that get visa and there are people who get visa on family migration quota for example but many others, give me a break.

Lots of phone scammers have already got the Green card in the USA. Scammers were given student visa by carriers and they work as couriers. Stealing from poor people.\nIn UK ALL of scam calls I am getting are from Kolkata. They steal poor pensioners without any heart. Heartless and cruel. Indian students miss behave, laugh and talk louder on the high streets, drop waste on the street. Truthfulness, kind heartless should be part of education system. Also there's no place for bribe in these countries. In India rich parents show their kids how to get around by bribery.\n\nEducated and intelligent Indian scammers are a world known issue.

I worked in India for 6 years and then shifted abroad for a Masters, and now I am pursuing a fully funded PhD. In the UK, what I have observed is that the crop of students arriving from India are by the day lesser inclined towards studies and more in pursuit of the quick buck. Yes, getting a ‘UK based work experience’ is necessary to build the edge to compete against the wider international students post graduation and I have myself worked part-time in profiles which complimented my course in parallel to prioritising studies. However, the increasing trend amongst the masses (I do not want to generalise but yes this is unfortunately true and especially from certain states, the case is magnified: Read Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana) remains getting that student visa to earn quick buck to support themselves financially, chiefly, save up to dole out to so called ‘assignment writers’ which helps them pass the course to further graduate and transfer to a grad visa (again comes at a cost) which allows them 2 years worth of stay with no working hour stipulation post graduation. Thereon, work full time in laborious jobs with again not focussing on applying to full time opportunities in the field of study. Thus, what remains at the end of the day is lost time and opportunity and since I am only talking of people who come here on a Student VISA so primarily, the opportunity cost lost to upskill and further horizons. For the country’s perspective, getting cheap, skilled labour for an unskilled job is obviously an advantage but then there are cases of students not respecting their working hour restrictions, vandalising, bickering loudly, joining hands with the already operating extremist forces which instigate violence and hatred etc. In all, I think the resistance to not becoming bicultural which is a product of serious mental and physical toil and wasting time in frivolity is the main cause of the anti-immigration wave.

SUPPORT VISA REJECTION. WHY DON'T YOU SHARE THE NEWS WHERE 20000 STUDENTS IN CANADA HAVE NOT ATTENDED A SINGLE CLASS THEY ENROLLED FOR?

Majority of Indians are not tourist. They are trying to come to the west to stay here permanently. That is why 30 & 40 year olds are coming as students ?

There are several reasons. First off, a few Indians do certain scams that affect the country. Some students from india who apply for student visas dont go to school to study, but instead take advantage of going to work there. Indian dicipline, some countries like europe and singapore complained that indian tourists tend to be rude or dont have proper manners

Indian panjabi students they don’t respect others country culture because their lacking knowledge of western. One of most hated south Asian in Canada.

Reason for rejection is for example students trying everything to settle in develop countries

NO INDIANS \nNO PUNJABIS \nNO PAkISTANIS\nNO STUDENTS \nNO BENGALIS

Be careful with Canada and New Zealand, especially with student visas, they only want your visa fees, the rejection rate is higher than 60%. As these countries are 'no man's land, because it is invaded and colonized by Europeans, at least they must refund the visa fees, once rejected...

You remember on covid inoculation certicate our country had Modis picture instead of the certificate holder. Every traveller was ridiculed. Canada recently stated that there were 20000 Indians on student visa who did not show up at college, London from 8/1/25 even if you are in transit going somewhere else you need a visa which is difficult to get Germany and America are in the process of deporting thousands of Indians . In the Gulf countries everyday hundreds of free visa Indians are rounded up and deported. Gradually the world is learning who we are and from which crooked country we are.

America are making money and this is the cheating with the Indian students it's equal to harrasment for students

??Why not only TWO quota in India.. [Government school quota (with non creamy certificate) AND private school quota] .. ? \nWhy insulting students by giving caste quota ? \n\n[ Read the above statement AGAIN and AGAIN ]??\n--------------------------------\nCASTE AND MANAGEMENT BASED RESERVATION is the ROOT cause of all system collapse in INDIA .... ????\n\n?Caste quota in Tamilnadu is [ 69 % ] ?\n\n?Merit is a JOKE in Tamilnadu (India) ???? \n\n????? In India LESS than (30 %) (FC & BC) use ONLY Brain and HARD WORK to get a degree ?\n\nThe rest around (70 %) also use..\n1. CASTE QUOTA ( MBC & SC & ST ) \n2. MONEY (MANAGEMENT QUOTA) \n????????\n---------------------------------\n??Caste quota is used again and again by the SAME FAMILY who developed using the caste quota..How the caste quota is going to help the POOR students from the SAME caste .. ???? \n\n?? Also..Nearly 50% of collages in India is private.. DON'T sell seats using MANAGEMENT QUOTA .. Government should take control of all PRIVATE colleges... OR if the government is not able to take over the private colleges.. Give the seat to those who have the marks and let them pay with interest when they go to the job.. to the studied private college.. \n( Give the seat to those who have the brain NOT to those who have the money) ????\n\n??Education is solely depend on BRAIN ....\nMONEY and CASTE has NO place in it.. ????

Out of 40000+ no-show cases of international students in Canada, Indians rank first- more than 15000. No wonder visas are getting rejected.

Indians have become arrogant. They think what works in india will work in other countries.. flouting local laws and abusing the system. Apple fired 185 Indian staff in USA for fraud. Australian too have begun to dislike Indian students for abusing the visa, instead of studying they engage in full time work, taking the jobs of australian citizens. The Gen-Z indians are destroying the reputation built by their seniors

It is not about being under UN sanctions or under military rule. Many Indian visa applications (especially for student visas) are supported by fake documents. Many try to emigrate by hook or by crook especially to the US or Canada via other countries. And the less said about the behaviour of Indian tourists abroad the better. Dishonesty, cheating and so on may be a way of life in India but other countries still value decency and civic sense.

You seemed to have conveniently missed a few more main points. We, Indians, put ourselves down.\n\nThey are;\n1) Out of 100 Indiands traveled abroad either for tourism or business, only 50 returns home, and the rest try to find jobs to live there.\n\n2) Many Indians forge documents or produce fake documents to get visas.\n\n3) Where the Indians go, they bring pan and pan parag items and spit sll over the place, especially the North Indians. South Indians are much better.\n\n4) We, Indians, can go any lower to get a job abroad at low pay. So, we put our own grades down.\n\nThere are numerous examples I know of. Let me cite a few below.\n\n1) In one of the Western countries, a few years ago, a real Punjabi brother and sister who staged fake a marriage, got a marriage certificate, and other documents only to migrate there. The government eventually found put and deported them.\n\n2) Canada deported a few hundred Gujarati students when the US border security found them not speaking in English. On investigation, it was found that they all came with fake IELTS certificate.\n\nThere are many incidents we get to witness the day after the day. So, we can't blame other countries. It's us who made us very cheap in the international market. Because of those Indians, the entire innocent, honest, and talented Indians community is affected.

The category of persons whose VISA’s got rejected should also be discussed. Like students, business, casual travellers etc should provide a better insight.. Also visa rejections due to improper documentation should also be highlighted

Indian students are now all over Canada. They don’t know how to behave. They lie and cheat and are getting a bad reputation. As an Indian I feel ashamed to see this. Smarten up Indian students.

The headline is misleading - suggests India is rejecting visa applications. Anyway, reality is India, and the Modi government’s priority, is to ensure Indian intake into foreign countries increases substantially. This is due to the lack of jobs and resources locally. The bigger issue is fraudulent applications. The Australian government blacklisted student applicants from Punjab, Gujarat, Bihar and 3 other states for high proportion of fraudulent applications. Sadly, after Narendra Modi visited Sydney when a Quad meeting was called off but Modi still travelled, Gujarat was removed from the blacklisted states. One fraud leading to another fraud. That is the core DNA of the country and the genuine applicants too suffer.

They bring their Hindu religious supremacy into Canada. In Toronto these new fake students even brag that they will put 1000 statues into the water in the Wasaga beach. We pride our secularism and Wasaga beach is a public beach. We respect other religions but we dislike other faiths trying to monopolize public places.

Congress had reciprocal arrangement. To boost tourism post negative PR following Nirbhaya incident BJP let go of it with evisas. Both sides have valid argument but real elephant in the room is behavior and respect of laws and etiquette by our desis. Imagine out of 55000 non compliant student visas in Canada that did not show up to school..20k were Indians. So unless Indians improve there, neither government Modi nor Congress equally can't do much.

If they shutdown the visa fraud industry coming from Punjab, then the rest of the country will have a relief. Genuine students and tourists are at a loss. You should go see the rural Punjab being transplanted into the suburban western cities

Many Indian people go to Canada on student visas and never report to the college. They end up as illegals in the USA and Canada. They come from one specific region of India. This hurts the Indian passport ranking.

in your reporting, I wish you had qualified what kinds of visas are rejected - student, visitor, immigration, business, etc. and the numbers.\n\n\n\n\n\nHow about India RECIPROCATEs with the Aforementioned countries because India is the #5th rank economy in the world.\n\nIs it possible that these countries are HINTING at something.
