Career colleges are a complete rip off, even for domestic students, that’s why no one goes. \n\nHowever, as someone who has been to college and university, it really sucks to see international students suffer with the demands of curriculum. Also, it’s frustrating to be partnered with a student who doesn’t have a proficient grasp of not only the language, but punctuation, and essay writing. I’ve been in groups with international students where I end up doing all the work because their research or writing is unusable. I actually transferred to a university that allowed us to work autonomously. My disdain for group work is that strong. \n\nIt’s a shame, but setting a student up for failure in a legitimate college or university is not fair to anyone. \n\nThe answer may be learning a trade, especially if language skills aren’t up to par.

Sameer does diplomatic Passport helps in fast visa processing. Like this family has one red passport.

Canadian parents/students we to paid 30-50% tax when we work here. some of this money help to reduce our tuition fee. You guys and your parents don’t paid tax here so you have to paid the full tuition fee. Vancouver and Toronto has one the highest cost of living in the world, . Even we has it a lot trouble living here due to such high cost,so of course it would be hard for you too.

Do me one thing Canada, sign the agreement.

Sir I got v1 visa of Canada but question my passport expirey date 2032 and I got visa which is multi re entry expiry date Oct, 2023 one year, as per rules Canada visa expiry linked to passport expirey date so what I have to consider expirey date passport or written on visa

I think this was a pretty fair assessment in general, you relied on statistics instead of just personal opinion for your rankings. That said, Quebec should not be number one. You somehow got through talking about it without mentioning the fact that it is a French province. You have to be able to speak French to live there. That’s a major concern if you only know English. As much as I want to put my home province of Saskatchewan at the top (though on a side note I think it should be higher, your main argument against it was the crime rate, but that’s just in certain areas of the province), Alberta is the best province from an unbiased perspective. Also I think this is a bit unfair to Manitoba as well. \n\nAll things considered though this is a solid list. Good job.

The cop didn’t do much wrong I see. If one has to follow these customs, better stay in India….

I had friends both male and female in school , no one india ever questioned them . Its their practise and they even came in school like this .

Hello Gursahib,\nI'd like your two cents on something to make an informed decision. I'm a software engineer based out of India. I am stuck in a dilemma. I am not sure if I should move to Canada on Study Visa or wait for Express Entry (PNP)/Work Permit? My worst case CRS score is 420. \nI have approx 5 years of experience. I am starting my IELTS prep shortly and I am not sure if I should prepare both academic and general or one of them.\nThanks in advance.

On one hand I understand the officer cuffing him due to him having a knife but on the other hand there are religious reasons he has a knife and it’s not like he would ever use it or need to use it

Bruh I could use that to stab so many people I think I might become one, cause clearly faith now trumps people’s right to feel safe, or maybe I should start a religion around bombs, does that mean I can wear one out and about ?

Whiz Queen, is there any considerably advantage for someone at about 70 yo to enjoy in Canada after obtaining visiting visa and visiting annually for three years consecutively. Can one apply for a permanent visa?

Its so disgusting to read Indians comment that knife should not be carried by them. Like the sikhs have done so much for the nation and we as human should be the first one to be aware of why they carry kripans. Yet some idiots wanna show that Americans are right. Stop licking their feet!

I love Sikh people’s religion but i don’t know it’s scary these days, anyone can be doing and saying this we don’t know what are the intentions, some are in clear view and some are not but we don’t know…which one can be raised to harm.

There's nothing wrong in informing a police about this, saying this as am Indian. With so much of killing incidents in the USA, it's wise enough to inform the police when one's unsure about the reason for carrying a knife.

Just one thing to say : USA is just screwed up....

sikhs must be disarmed in India soon otherwise we will see the conditions of Anti farming laws where a labour was killed by these kirpan holding men , covid crisis where a police officers hand was chopped off by these kirpan holders hence at last everyone must be allowed to carry weapon otherwise no one should be allowed to carry.

Whoever commenting here bring knife to a university stating it as one of the sikh culture, ask the Indian sikh people who are in india if they are doing the same thing in india? They will say No. Coming to this video he intentionally did that just as an internet stunt to gain views and to do some crazy stuff.

Well I respect their culture and tradition but carrying knife itself makes it not so safety for one seeing him, in India burqa was asked to be taken off , why nlt knife ?

I don't want to say any word on this stupidity ? one question ,, school and college are for education there is one specific dress code for all children, and everyone should follow the rules of schl and clg,so why we involve our religion as a hindu I oppose this?pls stop this nonsense, if this is right so why we are against the hijab in indian school and clg ?? If all religions start following their culture and rituals in colleges then from tomorrow a hindu will start wearing dhoti kurta,sari, rudarkhs, mushlim will wear hijab, kurta lungi ??so pls stop this nonsense ???

That's absolutely fine, knife earlier Sikh used to carry because of mugals and khalsa was also created to protect Sikh and Hindus from Islamic Invaders , why the fuck he need to carry a knife in University, he is having his beard and turban that's enough for his identify this jerk is a khalistani show off over enthusiastic who is trying to be a Sikh, In India we have millions of Sikh hardly any one ever carry this

No one in this world has the right to say no to wear Kirpan in this way. Our gurus taught us that. They have previously apologised for the foolishness of their police officers, that is the power of the Sikh. ??

I think it’s also important for them to say they don’t consider moving back or moving back in the near future if they want to naturalize as Canadians. Just in case one coconut head decides to take their words and see them as people that don’t want to be in Canada long term and frustrate their naturalization process

I speak for myself and not on behalf of anyone.\n\nFirstly, in any such situation be it any religion, caste etc, before reacting, imagine if this was happening to your own son/daughter, your own brother/sister. \n\nSecondly what faith one chooses to practice and how they embrace it, be it wearing a kirpan, a burqa, or keeping a shika(choti), etc, especially opinions like what one can or cannot wear/do, lead to more harm than good. We don't live there, it's not our religion, it's not our life, then who are we to condemn and be opinionated about them.\n\nThirdly, whether the kirpan should be allowed inside an educational campus can only be determined by the campus authorities, the local police and the Sikh community representatives there.\n\nYes, he could have and should have worn it on the inside just like so many Brahmins wear the sacred white thread (yajnopavita).\n\nHe could have taken prior permission from the college authorities to freely wear it if possible and all this could have been avoided. Maybe he doesn't get the permission to wear it, who knows, there are countless possibilities.\n\nAnd lastly, I've come across so many comments labelling the Sikhs as Khalistanis, then if there's some other incident, commenting that people of so and so faith are terrorists, etc.\n\nBy all means, please call us Khalistanis, please call us terrorists, call us anything you like, but we'll continue to respect and love everyone.\n\nIt's a shame that our Jawaans are dying on the border fighting for their country, fighting for our country, fighting for us and we are creating divisions amongst ourselves. Petty name calling and what not.\n\nWe are Indians first, any Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, or Parsi...Indian getting harassed is my brother/sister getting harassed. Their loss is our loss.\n\nPS: If I have offended anyone, my apologies.

Had he wore burkha and brought C4 in the class, no one would have cared.

khalistanis should know, no one will value the Sikhs like a Hindu would..

someone pulled a real one on him?

Isnt it supposed to be worn under cloth. If you would carry ka knife(in eyes of foreigners) then definitely its invitation for trouble. I live in punjab and have never seen someone wear a kirpan outside their clothing. See these are kind of people who are creating nuisance in Canada and making it tough for us to go. Thats why hate crime is increasing against ?? in Canada bcs of what i have heard, canadians are one of the post polite and friendly people.

I don't see an issue here as long as I can carry an ar15 as part of my religion ? but seriously at least he was calm and respectful... Sihks are the warriors yet every one I've ever met were the nicest most centered people you can imagine! I hope this is settled peacefully and responsibly, aka I hope the school doesn't kick him out or over exaggerate the punishment

Fine....same thing happens to Hindus in India...haha they get tortured ...and no one speaks

One should obey the predominant culture of the country where one lives. And he is not above law, he should follow the rules.

we are four sister and one brother ,,mam very interesting my third little sister name gulnaz

I'm having problem with my semester marksheet. The university is not providing semester marksheet(original) but is available online. I sent all my docs to apply for lambton college but they asked for original semester marklist and not online marklist. I already lost one chance. Please help me out.

Carrying a knife to a college? What was he thinking? It's an entirely new country they need not respect ones wishes. You went there to study, quietly do that and prosper

Someone from a developed nation who moves to a developing nation is always treated better than locals, however that is not the case for those that come from developing nations and settle in Canada . The reality of one person does not necessarily apply as a general rule for all. And honestly, Vancouver is not all Canada.

No one is attending calls from your Lahore office.I'm trying for a week.

Well it's not a crime to carry kripan at least a place where guns are more common....but when you are in other country their jurisdiction applies not your ethnicity ..race or religion . Same goes for foreigners in India....and that is a educational institution not a religious temple no one is wrong here just mis communication of rules

And then my Fellow Hindu brothers say that we are brother and one .\nYeah my brothers , I can see how much love and respect you have for us by seeing all the liked and comments .\n?

These religious symbols are integral part of sikh religion... but they are sharp and will cut \nSo its not something you want to carry into public spaces especially in another land\nAlso us is already facing a lot violent crimes inside schools and unis.. so no point in making others uncomfortable by carrying that along.. \nHope no one takes offence!

Woman victim eh it is only one side and today era not easy hard to believe only what the tv liberal shows..

I don't agree with this, but Jews can have a legitimate patrol and no one bats an eye

I left Canada in 2019 for Uganda and couldn't be happier. I too was in that cycle of working to earn enough money, to pay my bills so that I could afford to keep working! \n\nWhen my parents were just married in 1968, they earned between them $14000. In one year, my Mom was able to save $10,000 because the expenses were so low. Then, they bought a house worth $26,000. Those days of working to save are almost gone unless you have a very in demand job.

Here in america ppl want to turn it into canada.\nDemocrats biden obama and on and on and on.\nThey have demonized us conservatives in the media .yet we are the ones that want to keep america great.\nIdiots keep voting for their leaders to destroy america.

I’m Canadians as myself everything you said it’s 98% accurate about Canada???. I’m moving out few years agoes out of Canada and so happy indeed living in ?? so much freedom depending wich states you want to live freedom on money , health benefit , outdoors indoors activities etc…Canada it’s an empty country, empty land too cold and depress living and please check the population of Canada only worth one states (Texas)USA population. Canada only need immigrants to build their country and in terms of Govn professions their are very selective and it’s hard to get through if your immigrant unless your a scientist or engineers still yiu need to move to other parts of Canada to get hired . Anyway I’m sorry to brings this up but I’m myself a hard worker working in a nursing field it’s very depressing to live in Canada . Since I’m in ??I’m feeling born again happy easy living lots interesting things to do in US… Happy indeed the best decisions of a lifetime ?❤??????

I Was born in Canada and I agree and disagree with some points you've mentioned. How can you come to Canada and not expect to wear a jacket ? lol... The price of living is going up all over the world, the last 6yrs has become very pricey in all western countries. Hospitals are overrun in major cities in Canada that's very true, but not in smaller locations. Boring (are you crazy ? lolol) I completely disagree. You just don't know where to go lol ... however everything you do in Canada cost money ?. And I completely agree when you mention that Canada won't allow you to become filthy rich (very disappointed about that one) ... There is racism, but not just from the predominant Canadians. There have been many times when the racism is from someone new to Canada. But i also know as a black person i will experience this anywhere in the world. (They're portraying what they normally would towards me while in there own countries) ... anyway nice post, it's nice to hear what it's like from your perspective. Find yourself a good Canadian man (or woman) to show you around ???. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but you still have to find the beauty in order to behold it :).

Loneliness? LOL what the F are you talking about? If you’re lonely go join a sports program/ club or find some hobby. There are so many great communities. But if you only want your people there, I guess there’s only one option…

lmfao, damn this is so cute, and entitled. Congrats on being able to live in one of the other top 5 countiries in the world. I can't imagine they are any cheaper, but you certainly can benefit from population density, if that's what you want. It truely is adorable how you speak in a way which assumes that everyone want's to be surrounded by 20 million people.

About vacations, you can also get one month vacations. I know this because for over 40 years I worked and received one month vacation each year.

I've never been to Canada, but off the bat I can imagine with it being a British colony and right next to the United States, the lifestyles are just completely different. We've thought to move there but decided not to, a couple of other relatives will be moving there but as hard as things are in Miami I think to myself, why the hell would I live in the cold when I can walk to the damn beach with my beer and smoke one. As a Jamaican it was easy for us to go there but I've never wanted to go because I've thought, what am I going there to do.

there is nothing you said that is not true of western lifestyles in general\nI’m in ‘one of the best’ countries In Europe and I swear all your points are the same here\n\nIt may be that our African spirits are designed for way more than this scarcity mindset behind capitalism \n\nA close friend is moving to Canada next week\nI can’t share your video with her cos she’s spent her whole life trying to get in
