To be fair, why not the prospect student with a parent come to Canada for 2-4 weeks, check out the campus, ask around (current enrolled students). Second, stay and study in India, become a dr or a pharmacist (3yrs in India, Philippines etc vs 8 yrs in the US), any medical field and transfer over, being done since the 1950’s -ongoing in 2022, any dummy can pass the ECFMG, then start a residency.\n\nDubai has American universities (recognized no diff than physically in the US), Harvard and Michigan state are a couple examples. Victoria College in Alexandria, Egypt (possibly poorer than India), been there forever, AUB (American University of Beirut) recognized as an American college. Protest to have the Indian government to make US schools attractive for US universities to open campuses there. Private universities in the US (Catholic Jesuit colleges, Norte dame, Loyola, etc) charge the same tuition if ur a local or from South Asia.

Please fix the title! The onus is not just on recruiters in India but Colleges and recruitment agencies in Canada who are PAYING them! Great content but misleading headline

This is what happens when you sell everything in your motherland and chase a fairy tale ( become super rich, lead a luxurious life , high status back home ) . People in India , especially Punjabis thinks that Canada is a safe heaven . This is a lesson for every Indian who is planning to come without Scholarship . Greed kills !! .

It's just half story, bigger question is why mostly punjabi students go to Canada, when in India you can earn good and enjoy your family life!!!!! And most of these kids belong to good wealthy family. The real story/reason is something different!!!!

Kindly make a video on how to get apprenticeship for india in Canada is it possible

It's a sad reality, I'm not from India, but watching this bought tears to my eyes, this is not a way to treat innocent kids who's parents work so hard to give them a better life and Education, shame on everyone who's involved., this is not what Canada is about, this is not the Canada I know...shame, shame, shame ..

Horrible experience, never go to Canada for study, India is best with a chai stall

why come to Canada why not do education in India I am sure education is good India why put your self in problem

@Kaku Arora - Really appreciate this video - thanks for posting it, but now I believe the train has already left the platform - So many students and their parents are already done. ?\n\n#EQUALLY MISTAKEN\n\nStudents + Parents in INDIA [DEMAND] == CORRUPTED EDUCTAION SYSTEM IN CANADA [SUPPLY]

everyome wants to live lardge but there is no room for that no matter your occupation .\ni bet life in india is better yes u have no money but u call canada living if u dont make 100000 a year u are a peasant in canada \nindia life looks better

Sad story really, but there are many other international students who get it even worse. At least Indian students speak English, have a very large support community in Canada (where pretty much every other person is from India). I only speak because I know. Try coming to this land with no English and no connections at all ...and from a small country in South America, then you really are in trouble.

There is lots of good universities in India...it's more affordable than in Canada...leaving parents, family and friends behind to study here...and breaking parents back and all savings for a foreign studies...not worth it at all...if Canada government is not giving relief to international students..then Canada should stop calling international students coming here...problem solved

This whole system needs an overhaul. Why is Canada recruiting so many international students just from India anyway? If there has been a need for housing/hostels for international students why doesn't the government tackle this. In Kenya private developers build studio apartments in areas with Colleges/Universities, this works out pretty well. A private space is better than strangers huddled up together

Intention is to reside in Canada. India has good schools.

The students prefer Canada as it is the easiest way to get PR status. And there is no strong vetting system.These are agents’ main selling points. I have seen students struggling for qualified jobs after the course, most of them taking labour jobs. Probably, most of them wouldn’t have any sort of such work in India, here working as a helper for a mason, working as a delivery boy etc.

i am an indian and i dont understand why some indian families particularly in punjab and andhra region are soo obsessed with sending there kids outside for education ??? it has little value in india unless it is an IB league college .. someone going to canada to study commerce or a BSc is very stupid . Finish your graduation in india and give exams for masters . go abroad only if you have a certain good score otherwise it is of no use .

You should have completed your cheap-almostfree education in India and come to Canada on a job to cash good money. Engineering books are same worldwide and equally tough!

The residents of Punjab state in India are completely obsessed with Canada. It’s to the extent of madness. \nIt’s not that their future was any brighter in punjab . There is a big change happening. Lack of quality education, manufacturing, jobs. Reduced political influence & other states like MP leaving Punjab behind in agriculture. \nSomebody whose future is hopeless in punjab -due to lack of skills , can’t hope to secure a bright future in Canada just by somehow “ghusing” here.

Canadians wake up, you don't have population, in order to save your land from foreign attack you are preparing population by stealing of Indias population, do you think Canada brings students , give pr, in order for taxes , are you kidding. After 300 or 400 years this population will be purely Canadian there decendants will work in military doctor or any any thing . And will save your country from foreign attacks and grabbing your lands.. so in order to save your land in future Canada is preparing population.. which you don't have.. hope you understand long term logics

Why is Canadian colleges charging fees 3 times equivalent to residents fees. Why is Canadian Government not able to give more managerial jobs than labour jobs for students because there are only warehouses in Canada. Canada only wants labors and that too students who can work overtime to pay their bills and expenses. Why Canadian government not auditing houses which provides such shaddy accommodations...because these all narratives suits Canada and you Canadian exploit innocent rural people from India on pretext of PR and good life not never share these harsh realities

people dont admit that canada is just the escape route out of their country, especially punjab state being anti India. I wont explain anyone in comments cause you cant digest the truth

The root problem isn't the greed of these schools in Canada. We need to adk why so many people, especially minorities desperately leave India in the first place. Corruption, poverty, pollution, discrimination, and nowadays Hindu fanatics. Solve these problems, and these kids don't need to escape India.

Canada has become another corrupt country...\n\nfor PR also.. employers are selling LIMA for $50,000 CAD... and ppl in India are buying to get PR.... \n\nCanadian government is aware but don't want to do anything as thy are menting money from this process

As a indian i say canada plzz stop indians coming to canada.plzz ban them because canada is now big anti-India hub for khalistanis and terrorist who will be big national threat to india.because canada govt never take any action on them for vote bank.so either canada bans it or india will ban its citizen traveling canada for jobs and study.

Jhaatuo gaye kaye ko, india mei itna paisa h thoda bus dimaag laganey ki zaroorat h, chutiya canada, usa, uk bhagtey h, pachtao ab

Sooner you realise Better it is --> IN INDIA EVERY ILLEGAL AND WRONG DOING IS DONE LIASONING WITH G0VT, so it's same in CANADA too.\n\nSo there is nothing to cry, it's just people who should keep their eyes open. Nothing's gonna change

Its nt all abt dreams ....m from punjab (india) ...employment situation here is only getting worse each passing year .....hardships wich students has to go thru all these ...most ppl know it from even landing in canada ....but its much better to work somewhere in mcd subway or wallmart in canada den being unemployed even after getting masters degre or phd in punjab ......

Very sad, both governments of Canada & India have to step in.

Government of Canada can do a lot to stop the exploitation: run Social media/TV/Print awareness campaigns in local languages in India to inform parents and students about studying in Canada, make it easy to search for programs and colleges/universities, and proactively work with the Government of India and provincial governments in Punjab, Gujarat etc.

Canada just made a ruling to reject 70% of student visas from India.

Ye bhosdike ke education nahi apne shoq pure karne jaate hai ek dusre ko dekh kar ki ye chala gaya canada wo chala gaya canada. India main reh kar education nahi milegi inhe canada main jaa kar ye sab top class ban jaayenge.

Hi my name Sanju Das from India .i doing security job but I can go Canada please help me

Hi. Currently in India and planning to immigrate to Canada. What i want to know is job offer mandatory if i intend to apply through AIP?

Btw, garanty of success, of employment, doesn't exist and it's baked in the capitalism system that private enterprise and private college prioritize profits (btw, for non Canadian, education, is not subsidized). \nNow, if illegal/fraud practices are occurring, then like any Canadian, you will have to make a complaint to the police and/or take legal action (basically If you don't have money, you're F!). \n \nMaybe the Ontario government should have more stringent laws for private Colleges and recruiting agencies, like mandatory advertising for: \n\t- the required money for subsistence and the low likelihood of finding a good job that will enable students to work; \n\t- the % failure, homelessness, suicide,... \n\t- mental and social stress, differences,... \n \nMaybe Canada could: \n\t- be more stringent with student visa and have a written acknowledgement that states all the risks and pitfalls. \n\t- Guive visa only if the recruiting was done through accredited agencies \n\t- Do official advertisements in India about the risks and requirements of studying abroad. \n \nMaybe a full capitalism society is not moral, but it's the system we decided to live in.

Is education in India so bad that these people had to come to Canada to study in such low grade colleges?\n\nOr do these people want a permanent residence as soon as possible so migrate at early age

Kids of 3/4 of the state of Punjab in India has moved to Canada after their high school. Parents take loan, sell off their lands to arrange money for the kids.

maybe trudy can be one wayed to india since he wants canada into it

Good research, hope it will help a lot of would be students who wants to go to Canada to study especially from India, thanks to u Fifth Estate!!\n?????

the part where the one student in India is asked why he wants to go in Canada and he says he wants a white collar job and the life he dreamed of which I would imagine entails a Canadian wife as well? In other words, shouldn't Canada try to attract people to do work in building homes and things we need instead of rent seeking industries like banking, insurance etc... that doesn't improve the lives of Canadians already born here (and in some cases go generations back)

In short- All agency need is money and all we or students need is a visa to move out of India for better future. But honestly- Education which i got here or which some are getting from colleges in Canada would be just 3/10. Nonsense and no use. None knows who regulates this.

Hi Everyone, \nI am Hiranmoy Dutta a resident of India want to pursue my post graduate in diploma management in Global supply chain management in Canada . My education qualification are as follows \n1. Passed my Higher secondary examination in 2011 in Commerce . \n2. Passed my Graduation programme in 2014. \nThere are few years gap from 2014-2020 the reason behind it that I was preparing for Indian government examinations but somehow i could not crack and did not look for any alternative option at that period . \nBut later at 2021 I cracked in private sector examination and got placed in Imerit Technologies Pvt limited as an ITES executive . \nAnd currently it’s been 1 year 6 months + I am still with imerit technologies and want to pursue for further studies in Canada . \nI want to know will I be eligible to do pursue this course ? \nAnd if yes what are the necessary things to do to get admission in colleges ?

Great work done ? the fifth estate. A BIG SHAME TO INDIA AS WELL AS CANADA

Lets not make fuzz out of nothing. India has world best education institutions thats why so many multicultural companies hire graduates from india every year. But people from two states P & G in india will do anything to go Canada, UK & Australia no one is inviting them there. It's nothing about education everyone want PR visa simple ?

Canada is a country of 38 million people. India is a country of 1.5 billion.

Canada ?? is apart of India ?? now so any students arriving should feel very good

FK Canada visa - I m very much happy in my country - india is great country to live .

This article is so true...the govt of India and Canada need to wake up

The exploitation of these trusting students, in India and then again in Canada is terrible ?

In post apocalypse India will have higher population as Canada loses 15 million

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.
