Bro can’t give an interview in English being a student from Canada. No wonder he returned

The majority of indian students are studying in college who gave diplomas that worth nothing.

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.

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.

TELL ME IT ISNT SO ! 40 OR 50 HOURs WORK WILE ON A STUDENT VISA ?

I’m amazed that these families cut corners all their life and with little to no research send their kids abroad. \n\nThe apply board founded with that weird accent SCREAMS wannabe and that’s these students role model.

Hi Canada government give you so much for Indian students but still blame canada, what about there country give nothing so, they have to limited man there country all dirty traffic poor too many corruption thesewies young r run outside.thanks.

Everyone knows we accepted way too many students. Their main goal is to get PR. Bring their whole family over and leech benefits off the Canadian tax dollar.

Indian students coming here for second rate colleges are completely unrealistic. They don't have marketable skills yet, the language skills are very poor. It takes a lot of effort to succeed. A student visa is not the golden ticket to prosperity. \nDo your research before you come. \nMake a serious effort to speak english that can be understood. \nBe honest about your motivation. \nMy parents chose Canads. \nOnce you move here that is your home country. No one forced anyone to move here.

Wrong information. Students and new immigrants including work permits just pay 1000 dollars for 1 bedroom basement apartment in Toronto. Many Indian home owners give them rents at much lower price than the market rate which goes up to 1400 dollars a month but since they are Indians and new to Canada they give them for 1000 dollars a month. If students 3 people live in that, if families 2 people. Indian home owners do that for food cooking smells and other reasons. I see some new immigrants both working couple make up to 90k per year but still live in basement apartments for more than 3 years to save money. Indians are money saving people, do not want to spend money.

I saw a news story about a canadian college student who had decided to fly back and forth to Vancouver (where he college was) because it was literally cheaper to buy that many plane tickets a month than it was to live in Vancouver.

Indian students are still clambering to enter into Canada. Canada had to impose strict rules to stop this mass migration. This news is crap operating from Dubai. Canada is trying to restrict student migrants.

I'm surprised by how much everyone promotes moving to Nova Scotia, given the housing shortage that has led to exorbitantly high rents, a one-bedroom apartment in an old building costs 1,600, and in new building costs 3,500 per month. And for three people I pay 85 dollars of electricity every two months. Internet is 105 dollars per month. Professional salaries barely cover rent, food, and car expenses, as they are quite low, often ranging between $50,000 and $60,000 for positions requiring 5 to 10 years of experience, and sometimes even lower. Before you even see your paycheck, expect at least 30% to be deducted for taxes, as calculated by a Nova Scotia tax calculator. The healthcare system is struggling; last year, joining a list to be assigned a family doctor was estimated to take up to three years. For those seeking care at walk-in clinics, you must arrive before 7 am and wait in line; they only see the first 15 people, typically just on Mondays. If you're last, you might wait until noon or later to be seen. After working for 40 years, the pension is approximately $1,200, or less if you haven't worked the full duration with salaries over 60,000. \n \nI forgot to mention that prices in stores are without an additional 15% tax, you should add that to every product or service you purchase. If you want to go to a restaurant, an economical one, and buy a lasagna and something to drink, it will cost you at least 70 dollars. McDonalds and Tim Hortons, for three people, may cost 40 dollars, but it is your health. \n \nThe government is investing millions to attract students and new immigrants, making labor significantly cheaper for large companies. Individuals with low wages can't even afford the cheapest rent, resulting in some living in tents across cities and towns in Nova Scotia. With an annual inflation rate of 15% to 25%—and the official rate reflecting only a detailed list of products deemed as basic food items by the government—only the minimum wage is legally required to increase when deemed appropriate by the government. Other wages increase only if the employer decides to do so. How often do they do this out of kindness to their employees? That's a good question. \n \nYour work experience in other countries does not count. They want people with Canadian experience, so it is better to think you will start with a 35,000 salary per year. A house cost between 450,000 to 2,500,000. When are you going to save to pay for a house? The cheapest ones can be 200 years old. A 100 m2 apartment, new, not very elegant but nice, can cost more than 2 million dollars in downtown Halifax. People say it is due to money laundry, and for sure is not because the medium class is buying them. \n \nI have many friends, who graduated from Canadian colleges and universities that haven't gotten a job in their career even after four years of graduation... and the list is longer. Please, be honest with people

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.

They stop 86% students from india.\nWe select france as a option

I don’t think he is student,,they just want to get pr

It is wrong to not let him practice his Religion. He was not harming anyone. And that was a Student, whom You made Criminal. That’s really sad. Sikhs are harmless and saviour. He follows his religion, which is why he openly carries it, which makes him the safest person to carry it. If he would have wanted to hurt anyone, he would have carried a gun than a religious knife. If someone wants to commit a crime, the person commits it and only after that police can do anything. But here there was no Crime going to happen and police caught an innocent person. Very sad

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

I moved to Canada as a student in Sept 2023. I moved back in January 2024. \nExtremely hard decision. But no regret! \nIt’s not worth it anymore.

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.

Insurance premiums are soaring and every driver is paying more! \n- Furthermore, Ontarians are paying more than $1.9 billion to cover the costs of these thefts, according to the insurance bureau. It estimates auto theft costs every driver in Ontario an average of $130 a year. \n- According to the Insurance Bureau of Canada, more than 80,000 vehicles were stolen in this country over the past year. In Ontario, one of the nation’s hotspots for the crime, auto theft claims were up 329 per cent in the first half of 2023, adding up to more than $700 million in losses. \nCanada was much safer in the past. \nClose the borders to unknown foreign students and Asylums!

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

mean while in punjab agencies luring students to Canada like never before.

We don't want those poor students & immigrants.\nRich immigrants are always welcome.

If all the indian students left, alongwith all the indian immigrants, it would not be a problem as much\nChina and India are the biggest demographics of incoming migrants\nTime to change and ban those arrivals

Student visa should be temporary stay. \nInternational students should pay more taxes.

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.

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.

Canada has a housing shortage of 3.5 million, not 345,000 claimed in this video. Decades of restrictions on building new homes by local MPs caused this issue because new homes will change the character of neighborhoods. Indian students should not come to Canada unless they are enrolled into computer sciences or skilled trades.

They’re leaving because they have to, because they’re on student visas. And government of Canada change the rules for them. And they’re not applying for pr or citizenship because they can’t. Not because they don’t want to.

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.

cheaper to live in the philippines then all canada with nasty prices !, rent will never go down , even if all the students lets say leave , nothing is going change that , no matter what government does any more , your going to see higher taxes , high inflation in food , and people living on the street ,, this what the government did , rich stay rich , middle class stays very poor , this your so called canada of the year !

Lets face it...time has been tough for now... yes there is housing crisis, students are suffering... canadian dream is broken as of now... but no nation is perfect... it all depends on your hustle whether you want to run towards the storm like a buffalo or a run away like a cow... you judge ur situation whether you r comfortable in ur home country and u think u can make it better overseas...all depends and is very subjective...so analysis your own situation...

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.

Huge amount of Indian people in Canada is depressing. All this “students” who works for 40 hours per week…

Plan to leaving this country, 99% immigration from third world countries and not well educated peoples from Third world countries completely illiterate, fake marriage, fake Lmia , Fake student, Fake contract marriage, Justin Trudeau and His father both are son of b**** they almost destroyed Canada

At 2:00, limiting students visa to resolve Housing crisis isn't the Real resolution but running away from problem. (Diplomatic speech). But I guess, that is a good step than placing students or their parents in difficult situations.

Not a big surprise most are giving up on Canada, even its own citizens.\nAlso, before the 35% student visa cut annouced by Canadian government, Indian students who who make 38% of Canada's student population, had 80% less new applications from India, after the Trudeau fiasco. So, 35% cut is just a facade to hide the obvious damage.

The cap on student visas comes right after the numbers had already dropped.

Many students just wanted to get permanent resident status when lib govt changes rules allowing that & to work full time..this fueled massive 1 million students to come in over the last year also aided by greedy colleges & un university's looking for higher foreign student fees & unscrupulous private colleges offering fake programs

Recent skyrocketing rise in rents in big citys like Toronto & Vancouver have a lot to do with this but one reason this happened is because govt let in far too many foreign students since covid

A STUDENT GOING TO CANADA BUT DOESNT SPEAK ENGLISH. Sorry for caps

The fact is that these so called students Immigrants can't get inr10k job in their own country. Most of them go to other countries to earn otherwise there are more than enough educational institutes in their own country. ????

Video headline and video content is not aligned. Students returning at not PR. Punjabis returning are more about bcoz of trying to immigrate for the wrong reasons

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.

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.
