I feel sorry to see all these news about Canada. Canada is a beautiful country it values family. Instead of granting visa to high school graduates they should welcome more to family sponsorship, professional graduate students on the funded program. Canadian take student loan from government to fund thier undergraduate program. People chose to immigrate for quality of life and experience new things. It is very disappointed to mobe to that country where the housing is top challenges and affordability. The consutlant offices has to be penalized for selling canadian pr. The strong action from canadaim government is necessary. Punish those criminals who have ruined other life foe thier own earnigs.

Unfortunately there has been Indian students killed in the US and some bad things in Canada as well.

That’s because most of the students get admissions in sham universities with fake education documents. They don’t have any important skills to contribute to the economy.

Please do a news feed on recent US hate crimes against Indian students. I think a time is going to come when their will be reverse migration from US as well as crime rate is rising fast.

The drop is mostly from Students, \n\nbiggest problem is housing, its VERY expensive in places like Toronto and Vancouver. \n\nCanada simply hasn't build enough properties, despite years of encouraging migrants to come and live here.

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

Students aged 40+ ….Makes sense

Canada is a great country I have be here for over half a century raised my family. The culture has changed with the times with Govt Policies put the test resulting in skyrocketing COL like food rents housing costs etc and lack of it not making Canada desirable at this time. The Cap on Foreign Students represents a \nCooling Off period for Canada which will prove beneficial in the coming years. All Indian and Foreign Students have been productive constructive ambitious and disciplined who all made a positive contribution to Canada. Times have changed and Govts will also Change with time. Keep up the good work at BBC.

The turner of the video didn't match the content. Students aren't eligible for citizenship. A lot of these guys have terrible English and no skills, they would struggle to obtain PR let alone citizenship

Less people going to England only students doing studies and finding work in mc d and driver's job. Half the population smoking weed and other drugs.

What a useless report! Be more specific! Report about the situation of students over there!

SIR MAAM PLEASE SIR HELLO SIR I NEED JOB SIR I HAVE TO LIE ABOUT MY MONEY SO I CAN SHIT ON THE STREET SIR I AM STUDENT I RIDE BIKE SIR

Great Canda hits the real deal!! All these so called students are to flood Canda

Indian news exaggerating the situation in Canada. I've been living in Canada past 5 years. I've never made more money and never lived my life better. \n\nWhen a million students come to study every year in 2 major intakes, it's obviously hard to find jobs. Canadian government has rightfully put a cap on this number to prevent this. The only mistake they did was not putting a cap 3-4 years ago.

We all can see the India streets in any documentary film. I dont think india has anything to critique Canadá at all.\n Why all this India students are so desperate to come to Canada then?.\nWe dont have little slum dogs kids abandon on the streets by the thousand, or cast born peoole allowed only to pick up feces all their life, and the atrocious list goes on and on. Give me a break!!!

Well, Indians just want to take from a system they has no inputs in building over decades...good jobs, PR, social services environment etc. Many are not even real students and simply wish to migrate and bring their entire village. And they do that not just in Canada, but almost all developed western countries. Even in countries like Singapore and UAE. Even their companies hire mostly from India.

Trudeau's politics over the last 7 years is why Canada is the most sought after destination for migration.\nNothing has changed, only that Canada must stop taking in so many students and migrants.\n\nAlso, unlike India, Canada doesn't have a fascist dictatorship running the system and media !

Canada is receiving way too many economic refugees, immigrants and international students.

Re Indian students as a former teacher I have to also say that many Indian students coning here are lacking the basics. I also found that students educated in US states like Florida and Texas were around two grades behind. Many Indian studenrs here have high expectations but poor background and inadequate English language skills. It is a shame that people are getting into Canada with false documentation and credentials. Also they are enrolling in very dubious schools and it is no surprise that they find life here very difficult. Hopefully the Canadian government will take greater care to see that only suitable candidates are allowed to come to Canada as students. Also students from other countries should avoid coming here if they don't really have sufficient skills and should make sure that they are choosing reputable educational institutions. There are lots of private institutions with fancy names. Don't be fooled.

Stay in India.\nModi just built a new Temple, have the International Students spend their time there.\nKeep their rubbish squabbles in India

Those students are being misled and exploited

There are countless students who don’t speak English over here.

What is the benefit of coming to Canada now? \nWhen Canada opened up in the seventies, there were many advantages to coming to Canada. Back then there was a lot of work in the lumber industry in western Canada and big factories in eastern Canada. In those days, if you were willing to do any work, you would get a job within 8-10 days. \nIn 1990, a bachelor apartment went for $500 a month and a one-bedroom was $600 a month. \nAlmost all would get their 3-4 bedroom house within 10 years. \nGroceries used to be so cheap that $200 a month could support the entire family. The telephone bill was $10 per month. A Vancouver-Toronto bus ticket was only $100. \nSchool education was good, children had to give exams. It used to be very easy to see a doctor. Buses were less crowded. \nNow the standard of education has gone down so much that children become like robots after finishing school. If you have to go to the hospital, you have to wait for 8-10 hours to see the doctor. \nNew immigrants find basements for shelter. Getting your own house has become a dream now. Those who have bought houses will have to pay the mortgage for a long time. Many homeowners are paying interest only, there is no reduction in the principal. \nBus service is so sparse that sometimes more than 100 passengers wait for a 38-seater bus. \nInternational students are in a very bad situation. Spend 25-30 lakhs, live 4-5 together in basements and do hard labor jobs (warehousing, retail cashier, security). Even if they do 2 years diploma they do not get any good job, only minimum wage jobs. \nThose with good jobs or jobs (income of eighty thousands or more) should come to Canada with a lot of thought, because when they come here, they are all considered workers and they have to find low-paying jobs and have to live in often in basements. \nProf. Kuldip Pelia \nSurrey, Canada

Any other country in the world would limit the number of international students coming into their own countries. Why shouldn't Canada limit our own borders and allow Canadians to afford and have housing at home? We are already accepting +1 million immigrants and refugees. We Canadians hope that common sense would prevail.

Yes. The entire Canada has changed. The student visas and wrong policies , it has changed for worse

exactly we are paying 5x tuition fee .. residence pays 6,000 for 2 year program I need to pay 30,000 for the same program...rent is 535/ month ( 1 bedroom shared with 7 students... food expenses 150-200 ....so who does the deception??????

Why is times of India reporting him as an Indian student

How many of those students from Asia are actually paying and not on full scholarships unavailable to native locals?

Problem is these sham universities. They are con institutions and con poor people $. Let’s stop them, there will be less such international students who won’t end up without a quality education

Wow 60k$. I was paying 14k$ Australian at one of the top uni per year as an international student 30yrs ago. Our fee built a new campus. I did work the full legal amount possible. I could only make almost enough to pay for my tuition. And wages has not doubled in 30 years. But US is paying 30k a year even for local. They do come to Canada for education too

Too many foreign students. Too many immigrants. Canadian Engineers are selling plumbing supplies at Home Depot. Trudeau is a garbage PM.

I am an international student from India doing bachelor’s here and I completely agree with the fact that they need to slow it down just for the sake of citizens. Tbh, even we are having hard time here just because of the number of international students they’ve invited in the past few years. Personally, I never thought of having a citizenship here but now it’s just so hard even for survival.

Hi jatinder can i apply my in laws visitor visa?is it like same process as parents visa?i am on wp right now nd i was a student before. my wife is my dependent visa. please guide me what should i do in that case as i checked ircc website it said u cant apply inlaws visa or u will be co signer.

Canadian students should comen first to canada.

They’re not international students. They’re ccp spies

Instead of hiring students, why not hire skilled workers? Like nurses, engineers and IT people.

I heard Canada government no longer give PGWP to diploma student

What is definition of a “Student” ?

Why is this making news \nPoor students?? \nWe have our own young people that need to be educated first.\nSorry but we need to worry about our kids first.

Colleges ran out of local students to scam so they peddle their products abroad.

Who gets paid..? A COUPLE OF THOUGHTS.... Lets say you have 500k spaces for international students...each space is worth..hmmm 10k NOW this government is saying that they are capping the number of international students...these international students MIGHT GET INTO A BIDING WAR over those 500k available spaces.... SECOND thought....So, you have a cap on say 500k international students...MY PREDICTION...trudoo's government will RE-BRAND OR RE-DEFINE those individuals in excess of that 500k cap. FOR AN EXAMPLE...lets call them fugitives, extremists, asylum seekers, refugees...etc WHY WOULD YOU TRUST THAT THIS GOVERNMENT IS TELLING YOU THE TRUTH... SOMETHING REALLY STINKY ABOUT THIS PLAN OF TRUDOO'S....

The irony of the richest countries dubious colleges using unscrupulous agents recruiting & profiteering off the poorest students from India on false expectations for dreams of a better life which can bankrupt their families is unforgivable ?

I still can't inderstand why international students dtudents have yo pay x3 the tution fees Canadian students pay.

THE LIBERAL PARTY YUO TUON THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY. OF YOURS ESP CANADIAN PEOPLE'S. YOU ALL THE RATS AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENT. WE ARE SENIORS CITIZENS WE DONT TO PLACE STAY BECAUSE YOU GIVE THEM AWAY WITH RATS REFUGE.. WE IMMIGRANTS WHO CONTRIBUTED THE TAX . WECANT HAVE HOUSING FOR THE SENIORS CITIZENS.. THIS SHIT CRAP...

I AGREE 1000,00,000 %, I SAW SO MANY STUDENTS ARE COMING FROM INDIA UNDER STUDENTS VISA, BUT THEY NEVER ATTEND SCHOOL AND WORKING FULL TIME AND PAYING THE FEE. WHILE THEY ARE WORKING FULL TIME AND NOT ATTENDING THE COLLEGE, EVENTUALLY THEY RECEIVED FAKE DIPLOMA FROM THE COLLEGES. I THINK THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD GO AFTER THESE COLLEGES WITH WEIRED NAMES, YOU CAN FIND ALL THESE COLLEGES ALL OVER MISSISSAUGA AND BRAMPTON. THIS COUNTRY BEING DESTROYED BY TRUDEAU. I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TASK FORCES TO CRACK DOWN ON THESE FAKE COLLEGES.

why this useless liberal government caps the entrance of refugees, like ukrainians get 3,000 as soon as they arrive in support, paid by us tax payers, instead keep the intl students coming with their money and ban gaza, syrian and ukrainian refugees for god sake, trudeau is the worst that ever happened to canada

The answer is so simple, don't allow any student visas to any private school.

As a citizen trying to achieve admissions to complete a DVM in Canada, this is a required problem worth discussion. The country is in a deficit for veterinarians but one of the largest schools in Canada, OVC has increased their international admissions over domestic significantly. We need support for domestic students to increase before international students to ensure service to Canadian communities, especially rural Canadian places.

And the fastest inflation happening due to these students

The students from Punjab think of Canada as an extension of their state. But sadly the reality is far from the expectation.
