cap on international students who pay for everything and contribute to economy but no cap on refugees that have no contribution to economy?

Don't worry students the moment he's re-elected he'll open the gates ten fold.

I would rather see my tax dollars support CANADIAN STUDENTS. Canadian students are the next generation of workers and scholars that will help build and support Canadians.

let's be real, the real problems are the Indian students, who are poor and some are just working not studying, they are really fooling the immigration office when they apply for student visa.

Fee for domestic student can double or triple? How will university run their operation without international funds. Should I be worried for domestic student fee?

you are using taxes to pay for refugees staying in canada. but reducing the international students who pays 3 times higher tuitions, and might be become young, well educated labour staying in canada. trudeau is so screwed ., canada is becoming third world country in north america .

Maybe Canadian students could start to benefit. Most of them can’t afford to go

The most frustrating part is the media is so fast to get onboard blaming students. The housing shortage is NOT cause by international students.

A 35% cap on international students will do NOTHING to fix the situation, far too little, far too late, JT is STILL bringing in RECORD NUMBERS OF IMMIGRANTS.

I work at a manufacturing plant and we resentky laid off a bunch of elderly hard working Canadians and replaced them with Indian students working through agencies. They are not actually in schooll and work far more than the alotted hours. When reported the company simply pays a small fine and keeps going.

Let's be real here. Intake of international students, refugees, and immigrants is too much and unsustainable. It has created incredible strain on the system. We all know it even if most don't say it out loud. There needs to be a drastic slow down or even stoppage of intake at least for a short while.

Why not close our borders too! It's not only international students are the problem. Refugees and immigrants too!

So blame students for problems.... The minority for the most pervasive housing problem.... Correlation

Many international students, mostly from India, don't come here to study, they come here to work and they have no intention of going back to India.

I was born here in canada but my mom immigrated. Took her 20 years almost to get full citizenship . \nThe cap is needed . These past 5 years has been honestly out of control . \nI've personally worked jobs where international students knew exactly how to work the system . \nEven working directly with employers to bank hours so that they can go full-time during summer yet still get paid for the whole year as part time so the government doesn't see that they pass there maximum hours worked . \nThe access to credit aswell is super scary .

STOP TAKING IN STUDENTS NOW....ENOUGH

These so called international students aren’t coming from all over the globe \nI can only think of 2 countries for past 6 years flooding this nation

It is the Liberal government who wanted to bring in huge amount of ppl, it is also the Liberal government who gave the visas to those so-called internatinal students. Now they realized the problems? Way too late.

Is housing the main problem, why not encouraging baby boomers couples who are alone in their home to create income opportunities through rooms renting to foreign students

As an international student from India at a top university with a scholarship, I found it quite odd when I go to the Tim Hortons near McgIll or literally any food shop in Toronto and found talking to the guy/girl taking the order in Hindi. I am like bruh wtf I went from India to mini India, wasnt studying abroad supposed to be a difficult prospect. The senseless immigration that happens through diploma farms, that only increase the population of unskilled immigrants needs to stop. Like Canadian healthcare is on the verge of collapse, cuz u dont have enough doctors yet you want 200,000 more TimHortons workers from Punjab. I do not understand this policy. \n\nI also question the impeccable brain power of the Indians who leave the comfort of their family and home (which imo has massively better healthcare system) to come here and then live a life of hardship due to not having proper education or just not having enough money.

Labour shortage ???? I'm jobless international student.

It’s really gross how “international students” even at the high school level have been leveraged to just make money for schools. In university, there’s so many level of predation.

The amount of foreign (Indian) students and workers pouring into this continent would prove Columbus right if he were to discover the Americas today.

It's not a simple question of for or against immigrant or international students. It's the questions of who we let in and how many.

Just remember - students aren't the problem here, most are hardworking youth. It's Canada that needs to ramp up to accommodate this or find a path that leads to it doing so. Canada wants to achieve a population of 100 million by 2100, but they need to also have a strategy and implementation strategy to get there and not just a goal.

The most important thing for blackface is international student,the hell with young Canadians

International students bring in money. Refugees spent Canadians tax dollars. I resent anyone who put those two in the same rank.

Regarding housing, I'm less worried about the 10 students sharing a single house, than the teenaged child of a foreign millionaire owning several homes. This raised bank account minimum suggests this government is still missing the point.

It's not working when they all move to the same cities. South Ontario is so over populated. Especially Toronto. Where I live we are starting to get outnumbered. I know that may sound racist but if we can't even do things bc of international students that is a problem.

Let's be real here, there are too many international students, refugees, and immigrants. And it causes a lot of strain on the system. The Liberals have made mindless decisions on non-Canadian intake and it has changed Canada for the worse.

Met many students in n around scarborough... cant understand or converse in english... how ielts scores were attained ... cant underdtand

There is sooooo much wrong with this I can’t even begin. I will say that I work in retail in a small town with no college or university in our town and we’ve had a lot of Indian students come in to ask if we’re hiring with resume in hand and calling the store as well. It’s way out of hand how many students they’ve let in, ridiculous actually.

Education is a biggest scam Canada is offering to the foreign students: from few room institutions, failing them purposely for double dip of fee, many times over enrolling for the capacity, not returning fee if they object, online classes only, One class at one location and other at far away different location.\nThe main purpose of the govt is to bring young labor, who also bring $$ (fee) without any benefits to them or rights, who will work for at least 20-25yrs. Like drugs, Canada is addicted to easy foreign money (billions) brought by these students and whether they get proper value (education) for their money is not important. Liberals has brought disrepute to Canada

At least in Ontario the problem is that for several years now tuition fees have been frozen for domestic students. They have not been indexed even by inflation, even when inflation was skyrocketting. And remember that the provincial government pays extra to higher ed institutions for each domestic student they accept. So of course to manage their budgets colleges and universities started to invite more international students, for where else can they get money from? University admins have been trying to explain this simple math to provincial government leaders, with no success. So I'm surprised that this video is putting so much responsibility on higher ed imstitutions and not on the government that put them in this unfortunate position.

Most international students are actually working full time not studying.

I am an international student. Almost killed myself because of the stress of becoming HOMELESS AT this cold place. PEOPLE DON'T COME TO CANADA FOR NOW.

I’m all for immigration and international students, but can we… diversify who we bring in?

It is not about the overall number, but the numbers of international students concentrated in certain areas that are overwhelming the infrastructure of those host communities. If there were a system in place that diversified their destination schools across Canada and better regulated those predatory fly-by-night institutions in the larger centres that outright lie to students to get their money, the problem would be solved.

International students is what brings money to Canada and help it become competitive. Students are much better than illegal immigrants who just leech off the government.

No sikh student carried that in indian colleges\nThis appears to be deliberate \nNot sane international sikh student would do that\n\nThis is provocation by the Sikh here\n\n\nHe needs to grow up\nGood he was arrested

1 in 40 people in Canada is an international student.\nLast year we let in the same amount of new immigrants as the USA, a country with 10x our population.\nLet that sink in.

This government calls international students as a new talent. I wonder when they will pay attention to the young Canadian graduated students who for more than a year cannot secure a job in their field of study and many experience mental health problems due to stress and inability to pay off their student loans? \nThis government throws Canadians over board!

Indians only. Not many other international students come to Canada. As a matter of fact many of them are leaving due to the higher living cost.

Our government is so incompetent and only reactive. Never proactive and no insight. International students may impact housing shortage but not the other infrastructures (or at a minimal level) like Healthcare, roads/traffic, violent crimes, community services (homeless, drugs,etc), etc. They do not create slums and ghettos. They probably have the lowest rate of criminal records as well. You don't even need exhaustive data analysis for this, just freaking common sense.

why not close these puppy mills and let the quality institute take in international students? best of both worlds, if you can afford 40-60k a year for 2-4 years, you’re pretty much set to immigrate here

look students pays for thier tuition without government support, then they will work double time to make it happen, then after they are educated enough then canada can benefit with educated individuals, those who cannot make it will be deported or end up thier student visa, its a win win for canada, but for now i heard that the labor market in canada is flooded with students, from restaurants to hotels; manufacturing, love the young educated cheap workers. canada will not stop this because they need the population to grow and they benefit this a lot. This comparable to H1B visa in USA but the difference is those visa holder is paid accordingly when they are hired in the USA. So the US end up getting the best people to come to thier country because only the cream of the crop or the best are the only ones that can get H1B visa. not talented enough or having police record no H1B is a fact

its good for canada because students are paid lower, in short they being used by the canadian system, ordinary citizen cannot even afford housing, but at least they have cheap students labor, what a shame

People forget that Elon Musk is the product of Canada international student system or policy ??

My electric engineering course for 1 semester cost less then $3,000, talked to one of the Indian students and they have to pay close to $16,000

So that’s where all of our education and health care money is going to support immigrants students
