Story on Immigration and interviewing an International student?. An international student aims to complete studies and seize opportunities, whether in Canada or elsewhere. Conversely, immigrants often relocate with the goal of settling in their new country. When an immigrant leaves Canada, it highlights potential shortcomings in retaining qualified individuals who have navigated the complexities of immigration, oftentimes taking years to get approvals. This departure underscores challenges within Canada's immigration system, raising questions about its effectiveness in retaining talent and fostering a welcoming environment.

Arbitrary immigration targets are simultaneously increasing demand and suppressing wage growth. There are better ways to control immigration. I would suggest demand based approach with some guard rails in place. For instance, I would require all educational institutions to provide housing for international student (at least 50%). Businesses should be required to provide accommodation to all temporary/seasonal workers on top of the minimum wage. In order to hire foreigners employers should be required to prove that they are paying enough to afford housing in the region (market cost of accommodation is less than 30% of salary). Accommodation for refugees should be secured before bringing them to the country from around the globe. No accommodation = no permits. It would limit demand and prevent wage suppression.

Unlimited INTERNATIONAL students and Refugees lead to home crisis . Justin T is BIG SCAMMER . Tax payer are going to Other countries like AUS, USA

My friend is an Engineer. His wife is a doctor. Both have more than 15 yrs of international experience.\n\nAfter they came to Canada, they realized - a hair cutter and a mutton cutter makes more money here..... while they are doing minimum wage jobs.\n\nCanada is the Land of Killed-dreams.

The international organization of migrantion ran by the UN funded by the US is bussing people here

Good.. More and more Canadians (specially digital nomads and passport bros) are leaving Canada and went to Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Caribbean. Please continue to be strict with international students visas, nurses and other immigrants, and even tourists visas. Within the next 10 years Canada will be a ghost country.

How could you Canadian's do such a injustice to International Students. Where is your value systems. So sorry see how you are ruining the internationals. Gob be judge on you guys.

You are broadcasting to International viewers, it would help if your anchors and reporters could speak Clear, understandable English.\nIt’s annoying when they speak fast and in Indian accent.

Somehow canada has an issue with international students who contribute tremendously to canadian economy. But okay with refugees. \nI have seen refugees in canada have a better living than an average international students.

International students coming to Canada should budget properly for tuition fees, housing and living expenses. There are too many stories of destitute international students living under a bridge or using the local food banks for subsistence.\n\n\nCanada should not be granting student visas unless they can demonstrate financial means to afford their education. Many international students come here and work part-time to partially subsidize their education. \n\nIt is not fair for Canada to help subsidize international students.

Immigrants here: Cobb-Douglass production function. I have been saying this for years. Since I saw folks coming in but no other changes. Output cannot go up if you only hike the labour… that’s what is happening. I fail to understand where the international student tuitions fees are going that account for around $23 billion each year.

As a black canadian it's crazy to watch international news noticing how crappie our country has become smh

The Canadian PM is an international embarrassment.

International students promised that they got enough money to pay for their tuition fees and accommodation before getting university offer letter. It is funny they can work 40 hours just like the full time workers. Why did they tell that they got sufficient money to the University and Immigration and they wil focus on their study only till their study is completed? Why do they protest on roads now telling that teachers are falling them intentionally?

Canada is a crock of shit. Even before the Liberals ruined it, and even before they threw Christianity and the Lord out of school here, governments exercised their insatiable greed to spend and hob nob internationally like celebrities, Trudeau being the worst. The education system made no sense and served only to divide the intelligent and the less intelligent, never actually producing intelligent people but simply to go through the rigors of separating them. The Corporate greed in this country is astounding. The rich really get rich off the depravity of the rest of the people. The gap between the rich and poor now is terrifying. We allowed cowards for politicians and the LGBTQ rights lobbyists to separate us from Jesus who is God and then from our prosperity because the Word of God condemns them together. Canada is a veritable hellhole with no future. Do not come here without millions of dollars or be prepared to lose everything you brought with you from your native country.

I don’t know why I still watch this channel. Whenever there is tension between India and another country y’all always make this kinda piece. If, I said if you guys wish to be a global player in the international news stop seeing things through your national lenses. It’s an advice!

I also wanted to go to Canada to study there as international student, but due to lack of financial support, I think I wanted to stay here in the Philippines because of emerging growth and development even there are so many problems that we always face everyday. Also, my family needs me and life here is so satisfying and you can even do whatever you want and not being a slave to other nation...?‍?

US, UK, Germany, Canada are genocidal nations suitable mainly for xenophobic killers. See the International Court of Justice ruling last month.

Same in UK housing is a problem not keeping up with internal home buyers or new arrivals.

This is what happens when a government supports terrorists and interferes with other countries' internal affairs. Mr.True-No does not have time to focus on the development of Canada.

Caught in the middle of this is Canadian nationals. I rented a room and got 100 replies from mostly international students. all competing with citizens. The government and people need to consider the citizens needs before students.

ROOT CAUSE OF CANADA'S WOES - TRUDEAU. HIS LACK OF FORESIGHT & VISION MAKES HIM A CLOWN ON THE INTERNATIONAL STAGE. SURELY, CANADIANS DESERVE BETTER.

This is missing SOOOO much of the actual story of what is going on over here. There is a lot of corruption in our housing market fueled by faked incomes just for starters. That's not including the massive supply and demand crunch we are facing on multiple fronts from having too much people suddenly, to having not enough housing suddenly. For those curious, you can find some CBC marketplace videos that cover some of this from a couple years back. The banks have been caught f'ing around as well, what with pushing through mortgage requests that should never have been allowed to occur; and that's just what we know about. \n\nNo offense to anyone in this video, or anyone else like them. We know that a good large chunk of most of you are not at fault here with what's going on. But there are some people from all sorts who are all doing their own dirty little deeds, and they are culminating into the gigantic pile of BS that the rest of us now get to deal with. \n\nAnd make no mistake, what I am saying is not even close to the full extent of the BS going on. This is just one facet of it. There still is the universities mentioned that we need to talk about, whom have been fleecing internationals for years now. Or our employers who have gotten real used to having access to basically almost slave labor by comparison the wages and employees they would have to normally deal with. \n\nAnd again, none of this is being said to blame those who come here looking for a better life. If anything, I want to apologize for the BS you found here as well, that was well hidden by the BS masters who got you to come here. \n\nBut just like how oxygen feeds a fire without necessarily meaning to... well... let's just say that a downturn in applications is a really good thing for us right now. \n\nCome if you want, but don't come unprepared. You will regret it. Sorry, seriously.

Unlimited International students and Refugee in Canada . Justin T need to resign

In 2022 international students contributed more than $22 billion to the Canadian economy, greater than the contribution of auto parts or lumber exports….\nBut now they cap intl. students who contribute to Canadian economy (40k$ on average) and replace them with millions of ukranis profiteers instead! ?

We let in too many international students. That really did not have the money to live in Canada. On the news the other day. It was said 25 international students lived in a basement in Brampton. \n\nCanada needs to let people who can afford to be in Canada. Stop giving away PR cards.

Ya ho back if you can't afford it. If they are so poor and can not come here. No country in the world allow international students who can't afford it there. \n\nGo back!! Opportunities are not here stay and build up India. India is raising.

At least immigrants have somewhere to go back to. Canadians don't. Why does the Canadian government care so much about international students yet nothing at all about people that have been here forever?

immigrants are leaving Canada? last year we have The number of international students with active study permits in Canada rose to 1,028,850 in 2023,500,000 immigrants plus 300,000 illigal immigrants , there is too many people coming in every year

Some international university students are deciding to go homeless cause housing is so scarce. \n\nThe liberal government is trying to blame the housing crisis on everyone and everything but themselves too

I really feel for students who are scammed. But being an international students myself, and as a young adult, I did my research on the rent, job market, living costs of the city I was going to: Vancouver. I knew it wasnt gonna be easy from the get go, I struggled but dedicated to school and to my part time job. My personal experience was that most of these students do not focus on their assignments and rely on others to do their part. It was 10x more stressful and, sadly, my strategy to survive (and my friends’) school was to avoid doing school projects with students from one particular country. And worst yet, professors would turn a blind eye to this systemic situation cause I guess everyone was paying their tuition fees.

You not international mmkay? Go to Libya and study cuz u international mmkay?

The main reason that Canada is bringing in half a million migrants and hundreds of thousands of students is to keep the property prices high. If they slow down intake of migration and international students property prices will crash and with it the Canadian economy. Canada earns billions in migration fees, education fees and of course cheap labor like cleaners, carers, and taxi drives, jobs that canadian-born residents will not do. \nMost students are financed by their Mum and Dad Bank, lived a sheltered life with maids and drivers but with no skills, so they go overseas, and forced to do menial jobs to survive. Back home the family will be looking for a rich partner.

It's clear that Canada views immigration as a business opportunity, as opposed to prioritizing the provision of a safe and secure life for its own people and encouraging them to build families and contribute to population growth. Instead of importing millions of people, Canada could focus on motivating and supporting its citizens to increase the population internally, especially if the vision is to reach a specific population by a certain deadline.

The headline is wrong. These people they interviewed are not permanent residents. Therefore they can’t apply for citizenships. They interviewed these Indians who were international students. Who come here misrepresenting themselves in their visa applications. Pretending to be students but come here to work and stay. Canadian government put stricter rules on them to crack down on bogus immigration consultancy and colleges that exploit these students. This news segment is not 100 percent clear. It is true there are pr or naturalized citizens of Canada that leave the country to move back to their home country or move to another country but not all are Indians.

Canadian universities are going to suffer because now Canada has a bad reputation in both China and India, which are the largest sources of international students.

Under Justin Trudeau And Jagmeet thug,\nNo Housing \nRent Up from 1200 to 4000\nHealthcare dead\nImmigration system dead ☠️ \nFake Rafugee cases ?\nFake contract marriage ?\nFake international student ?‍? \nFake LMIA system ?\n\nEverything is expensive \nToyota charge 8% intrest rate in Canada

I made my mind after 19 years of serving this country i have learn a lot of lessons. \nThe country is for slaves and health care is money laundering not planing to wait in ER with internal bleeding 3 hours. Many my friends like men with 3 digit salary left the Canada after many years for better countries and better life. \nThere is nothing good left here unless you starve in your country then you can immigrate here but Canada is trap so the corrporations, banks and govertment constantly can milk you with high bills till your last breath without mercy. \nI can stay in Canada with only reason if Canada cancell all taxes like Dubai Qatar etc\nAlso the country full of rassist and low life people\nEverything is built on propoganda and hidden corruption.\nMy advice do not waste your time and life here it does not worse it at the end you will regret

This video is very misleading. That tailor at the beginning of the video was said to have gone to study at a university in Toronto. I am pretty sure it’s not University of Toronto or any university near Toronto from the way he was conversing with the journalist. It was most likely a private college that offered a PG Diploma. No wonder he wasn’t able to find a job. International students coming to Canada to do a PG Diploma is the biggest immigration loophole that the government recently put restrictions on.

cuz cost of living is growing and a smaller job market compared to the United States and a lot of barriers for international workers to obtain a high-paying position...of course the weather sucks too

Canada is failing a lot not a little. The govt uses immigrants and international students as an financial tool to prop up the ponzi scheme that is the housing market. Every News outlet has reported on massive fraud throughout the system. If they dont flood the country with people then it all comes crashing down.

The real problem is the Education Industrial Complex. Universities and schools earn immense revenue from international students. You cut that, schools will start to close.

so basically international students r paying their mortgages , nd when govt decides to do something about those homeowners they starts crying ,rich r getting richer poor r getting poorer.. inflation is not affecting these people at all, 'babe my bill comes higer' husbaand lets get another tenant in basement....

This has nothing to do with the title! Why everyone is concerned about international students! Citizens are in deep sh*t! Lets focus on that not some punjabi student!

This is such a badly researched report from BBC. The title of the video talks about citizenship applications dropping but they provide no data to back it up even if it's true. Then they only go to Punjab and talk to a student who left Canada before they became a PR. So that's irrelevant to the story. Then a chunk of the report is about the international student cap which in no way reduces current citizenship applications. The report should only concentrate on PRs leaving the country or choosing to not apply for citizenship. They only had one example of that in the whole video. Also interview PRs from other places other than Punjab. The story might be the same but it's good to know.

I’m a Canadian and if I were younger I would leave. I’m now embarrassed to be a Canadian internationally and at home I really don’t know what that means except that I am labelled a racist white person who is privileged to pay a lot of taxes.

misleading title, says Permanent residents appliying for Citizenship, but all you're showing is international students who can't afford it, very misleading.\n\nYou can do better BBC

Because of new Hindutva students canada has limited flow of international students.

Ya, because Canadians are being systematically replaced by Indians ??. East Indians invaded Canada, 1,200,000 new Indians arrived here in 2 years through the international student visa SCAM. All of southern Ontario is flooded with them.

Is Oxford international career college Halifax a DLI ? \nWill one get a PGWP after completion there?
