WHAT?!! You mean they didn't tell the truth on their Student Visa application and they actually wanted to live here forever ? Who could have predicted such a thing????? Surly not our government or police or CBSA or Intelligence Agencies or military. Just those racist tax paying citizens.

I not going to blame the international students at all but 100% blame JT and his incompetent Liberals ministers for creating this mess in Canada.

I lost very good friends over the years because they were not able to secure work visas after working, but its fair. Canada's system and social welfare has to be protected, Canadian jobs have to be protected and prioritized for Canadians first. No international student has a right to stay or live here past their studies. They can come back when they secure a work permit.

Weird, they are all male students. hmm interesting. Where are the females?

Paying for non Student Activists.

These so called students are frauds, the vast majority of them were enrolled into the scam colleges in Brampton so they could bypass immigration and come to Canada and work for Indian run companies (because those companies do not hire anyone not from India), these colleges offered MC diplomas that were absolutely garbage. Indians used these colleges to get more Indians into Canada and continue to take over our country.

Please give me an explanation, as to why most of the students are from these the state of Punjab. The turban brigade is here just for permanent resident status. We do not need anymore Punjabi restaurants here in Canada.

So called students are here for free everything! Canada needs to take care of our own people not the world's people/students!! Send them home!

Students when you’re done studying you go home with your degree by

We can’t even find a job. They are taking our jobs. They don’t even qualify for some high paying jobs and no idea how they got those jobs. When I went to a job interview and the funny thing was I saw bunch of international students were going to every company and knocking the doors and asking jobs. This is ridiculous!

I do not support mass immigration. But if are deporting then it should be applied across the board. At least indian students dont pull down the national flag and replace with other flags. \n\nPEI made rules on their own accord. We are a rules based society and these rules cannot be changed midway. It does not happen in a game of soccer and should not hapoen in life.

I can't work at Walmart. They only hire international students in Manitoba.

Nope, but sadly with this NDP/Liberal Government, they just might. They are International Students, that is it, do your studies and then go Home. If you want to Immigrate then follow the normal path already set. I know Max Bernie of the PPC would send them back. They were against mass immigration. Why is Pierre Poilivera wearing that hat? Why do Politicians dress up in other cultures' garb?

F all satta pass out students, govt has to cross check their degrees, school certificates...

Why dont you see these type of protests by Indian students in USA. The reason being private colleges in Canada very well know that these students are not here to study. But still these colleges and Visa officers alllow them to enter this country. Twenty yrs back when I came to Canada to study, student visa criteria was very strict. U of Calagry only accepted students from IITs (premiere Indian colleges/uni). Also out of campus work wasnt allowed. Now most of students from India who come here in one building colleges are here to work. Canada should stop out of campus work and the problem will be solved.

As a Indian immigrant i don't support the Indian international students. I am now canadian citizen and i am proud canadian

I would deport all those fake students in a heartbeat.

As a Indian living in Canada, I apologise for the havoc some illiterate unskilled people of my country have created in this beautiful country. Students in here if they want should contribute to the Canadian economy instead of working in grocery store full time.

They take high schoolers and Canadian students jobs\nIf you are international student you have to have money to study here\nNo money, pack your sht up and good buy

They dont look like students.?????

I think the main objective of “international student “ program is being ignored and lost here. The objective of bringing “international students” to a country is for them to study and after they finish their studies to go back to their country. Isn’t that the case? Absolutely, there should be no other expectations.Then why are they even entertaining this nonsense. Unless they want to use the “International student” program as a backdoor to enter and work in Canada, and it looks like that’s the case. They finished their “studies” they need to go back to their home country.

Canada needs to be structured around Canadians ASAP. These fake students take entry level jobs from teens. They also take jobs from actual Canadian newly grads, trying to get into their respective industries. We also need to lock up these racist companies who only hire punjabi indians.

You are here on student visa! You studied and so see no reason for you to stay!

Trudeau in his cabinet are the worst enemy we have in Canada ,PEI people have the Right to complain about the so call student's

So basically international students wants Canadian citizens to pay for Indian immigrants' cost of living and subsidized housing. Also, Indian students want to own a house in Canada in a Tim Horton employee salary?

I remember in the 1980s when me and a handful of other students in elementary school were Indian, now it’s 90% Indians. \n\nI’m surprised at Pierre’s comments about the deportation. Gah…we are so screwed.

If you are a student, your only duty is to study neither the protest nor the politics.

Stupid Trudeau….you’re the one who LET THIS HAPPEN!! \n\nOf course we knew these Indian students were here to scam the system. \n\nAs an Indian immigrant in childhood, I as well as lots of Indian-Canadians know the mess the Trudeau has created. \n\nNO they don’t have a “right” to anything! Stop effin screwing Canada and go back home unless you can contribute to society in a MEANINGFUL way. \n\nActual Canadians can’t make it work in Canada, and they want our economy to take care of them… ok. ?

TEMPORARY means temporary. They knew the rules b4 they came here. How many aren't really students? Go home and if you want a PR, apply for one through the normal process. with a complete criminal records check. I don't feel sorry for these students. You are oppressing people who were born and raised here.

This is a Trudeau government mess that the Liberal/NDP coalition created and they are now furiously backpedaling.\n\nShame on them and the harm they are creating for raising unrealistic expectations of international students.\n\nMany of these students families have invested large amounts of money and incurred financial hardships in order to send a family member abroad to study.\n\nOne must count the cost on all fronts as a government before implementing an open door policy of this kind.\n\nIndia Canada diplomatic relations are already on a wobbly footing. This lack of foresight and long-term planning will not aid the relationship going forward.

When are the liberals going to grow some balls. These are not legit students look at the 4 students who murdered Nijar.

When are Canadian students cannot find jobs cannot get placements in Co-op which is part of the education that is a problem we must stand against this immigration time to send them home all of them

So sick of demanding students from Canada, let alone whiney foreign exchange students. Get lost! Government needs to stop the high influx of foriegn students. Our priority is housing, and healthcare for Canadian citizens. Rules are rules, temporary means you have to leave. And Pierre Poilievre you need to change your stance and concentrate on young Canadians first!

The man's of these temporary students are completely unreasonable and obviously many did not come to Canada to learn Canada has to show some balls now and until Canadians have a home to live in a job an educational opportunities a home to live in until these obligations are met and Canadians and former residents have all that they need only then should we be taking in others

We hire intl students with work permits in our field… no born Canadians applying for the jobs… and if their command of English is good - we hire.. and I provide employment letters when they apply for PR…\nWhy are Canadian born qualified students non existent??

9 out of 10 students in Canadian universities should be Canadian born. The foreign students have no right to demand anything from us

All trudeau fault he welcome whole Punjabi students. Now trudeau should keep them in his own house basement.

Indians students majority of them want to have PR and enjoy the benefits then leave after few years, Immigrants we need to build our Canada but not destroying our Young Canadians jobs , Canadians jobs ,our social systems, our Canadians security also they don't follow our social laws, WE CANT DESTROY CANADA

All student complete their study and go back to their country. And if late wish to come back, then line up like many thousands of others. DO NOT jump the line. In this situation, all should be deported if they are breaking Canadian law.

Thses students shouldn't have more rights then the Canadian tax paying citizens

This is a joke..Theses students are not Canada citizens this is crazy and Canada is being taking advantage of...This wouldn't even happen in their country we would be jaile or throne out...Whst a waist of tax payers money...Oyr own Canada citizens are homeless and rents have sky rocket yet thses international students thinks they have more rights not...Time to go back ...

And it takes three of these foreign students to understand basic English just to get that Timmy's Coffee.

Foreign students should not be allowed to work in Canada. The fact that they are allowed to protest in Canada for Canadian rights shows their arrogance against a weak government.

I have nothing against foreign students, but what catches my attention is that I couldn't do that in India if I wanted to stay longer or move there. I couldn't just start protesting in front of a government building. The students protesting in PEI might or might not be granted what they want, it's really anybody's guess, to say they have a good chance at getting what they want.

I bet most of those students can't even read what is written in those pluck cards. panjabis

Students should go back.stop immigration ?

Most of these students offer nothing to Canada or general society

Lots of canadians are suffering because of the housing shortage. Theres nothing wrong with foreign students, but when its too many its too many.

Send all international students home!

Indian student say one day alll canidian will be slaves working for them in canada its starting now canidian student can't afford jobs but all Indian student working happily
