Well i m sure when you came here you must have gone through tough times also , weather was worst before now it’s getting better and if weather didn’t bother you how come you think it will bother them. These kids have no future in India maybe the suffering they will suffer for rest of their life in india is nothing comparing to suffering in the beginning in canada. It’s very easy to lecture others when you are well settled in the same country you are talking about where everything is wrong for newcomers. It’s hypocrisy at it’s best . People are desperate to move because religious extremism not going to pay their bills .

@@harpreetshahi8054 The weather does bother many as when they leave Canada one of the reasons they state is the sh***y Canadian weather. If these kids do not have a future in India is it then the responsibility of Canadians to accept massive inflows of Indians, year after year? Many come here as international students to 'study' in the least tuition fee and the least diploma duration colleges not to study per se but to use this back door entry to work and seek permanent residency. Is it normal that in some 'colleges' near 100% of the students are from India? It's great that the Liberals finally by listening to Canadians is putting a stop to these back door schemes. Finish your studies but not followed by a work visa. I have suggested to Mr. Miller, in writing, to legislate an equal number per country per year for international students like the US does for their 'green card' allotments. This concept ought to be applied to allotment of permanent residency and Canadian citizenship too.

Students coming to Canada must know that good jobs are extremely difficult to find in Canada. Most of the new immigrants work in coffee shops, grocery stores, restaurants, etc. These jobs pay low wages. Before moving to Canada students convert their Canadian salary into Rupees; that should not be done because expenses are in dollars too. Please do your research before spending your parent's hard-earned money. Good luck.

Minimum wage in Canada is approx 16.50$ CAD per hour,much more than in US (which doesn’t have minimum wage and average around 7- 10$ CAD)for these service jobs. Because of your mass complain about wages,tuition fees ,rents and scams and our own complain /problems that lead to the evaluation of foreign students policies. And once the government (Canada or US)decide to audit ,it is never a good thing.

[@wolfmangoland7972]

@@annle9671 The hourly minimum wage in New York for 2024 in the NYC/Long Island/Westchester area is between $16 to $16:50, depending on the county. California has similar wages. Students should look at the quality of their jobs after their studies. I know of people in Canada who continued working in coffee and donut shops, gas stations, and supermarkets 3 to 4 years after their undergraduate studies. Students should look for US Universities that offer a Coop Program. North Eastern University offers Coop program. Under the Coop program foreign students are allowed to work in companies in their field of study and most of the time, those internships turn into full-time jobs.

Anyone getting a PGD (Post-Graduate Diploma) through a public college can also get a work permit. However, the ones who study their PGD courses in private and affiliated institutions are not eligible for the work permit. Following are the colleges that do not help you with the PGWP (Post-graduation work permit) : 1) Algonquin College - CDI Campus in Mississauga and North York 2) Cambrian College - Hanson campus - Brampton and North York 3) Canadore College - Standford campus in Mississauga, Scarborough, Brampton 4) Fanshawe College - Ilac Campus in Toronto 5) Fleming College - Toronto Campus with Trebas Institute Ontario 6) Georgian College - Ilac Campus in Toronto 7) Loyalist College- Toronto campus 8 ) Lambton College - Mississauga and Toronto campuses 9) Mohawk College - triOS campus in Mississauga 10) Northern College at Pures - Toronto Campus 11) Niagara College - Toronto School of Management (TSoM) Campus in Toronto 12) St. Clair College at Acumen - Toronto, Mississauga and Brampton 13) Sheridan College at CCTT - Fort Erie Campus 14) Sault College - triOS campus in Toronto and Brampton 15) St. Lawrence - Alpha College Of Business & Technology Campus in Toronto 2.

As a Canadian I think this is really too little too late. In my opinion students are not the problem, especially if they are given an opportunity to join the workforce which is good for the economy. I think the bigger issue is we need an immigration policy that focuses on economic immigration, which brings in people who have the skills we are short in (Doctors, Nurses, etc), acknowledges their credentials, and gets them into those positions asap. I've met taxi cab drivers who were Doctors in their home countries but their qualifications aren't recognised here, and 'Canadian Experience' as mandatory for jobs. It also doesn't help that almost all newcomers want to move to our biggest 2-3 cities. Top down reform needed.

[@farihamohamedhilmy4700]

I agree with you on this one. Students are definitely not the problem. It's the economy that drives people insane due to cost of living wise

True regarding Doctors, my friend who is a recognized radiologist in India from a prestigious university here, moved to Canada post marriage. Now she works as ultrasound tech. She refuses to put time and money to get Canadian certification as it is very expensive as well as time consuming. I wish she had stayed in INDIA, as there is a derth of Doctors especially Radiologists. It pays highest among all the different medical specializations. The husband has a good job in corporate and she is focusing on her kids, but they have been planning to move back when kids gets a little older, she told me it is getting really expensive and unsafe over there.

[@ReactLMaD]

Student numbers are 100% a problem regardless, International migration accounts for 96% of our population growth and international students, along with the family they bring in and eventually attaining PR, account for over 50% of our immigration numbers. 10 years ago our total study permits were increasing only by 20-30k a year. Now we've reached 210k+. That's not the number of students, that's just the CHANGE in the number of study permits (older ones expire, those people become PR, and are replaced by a new and larger wave of students) It's not just the category of people we're bringing in, it's 100% also the number of people. We're screwed, and it's too late to do any short term damage control. Meanwhile, our housing start levels are at 1972 levels, and yet the population has nearly doubled since then and the rate of study permits since 10 yrs ago has went up by 1000%. 96% out of 1M+ population growth was all international migration. only 45K natural born here. No party is gonna touch immigration knowing its taxpayer base is quite literally going extinct and they need to replenish it with Indians.

In 2004 I wrote a somewhat famous article called 'Top 8 reasons not to immigrate to Canada'. In short, the Canadian authorities tried to destroy my life. They made it so that I could not be employable in Canada. So I moved to the U.S. in 2005 and then some years later I moved permanently to the Philippines. I am happy that so many years later videos like yours are saying essentially the same things that I did. I was ahead of my time. I will never go back to Canada. Not to live, not to visit, not even a connecting flight. Too cold, too expensive, taxes are astronomical, no culture, no freedom, no jobs, no opportunities, only modern slavery, worst healthcare system, unbearable political correctness, crime infested/drug infested, xenophobic people, too depressing. It has become a North Korea style dictatorship in the western world. Their are many reasons why Canada has fallen apart. But the number one reason is ‘multiculturalism’. My friends, multiculturalism simply does not work. Different cultures do not come together and mix, different cultures come together and clash. The world is divided into different countries for a reason: because people hate each other and only want to be with their own kind. The number two reason for Canada’s demise is ‘socialism’. In this modern era of aging populations, it is mathematically impossible for socialism to continue. The government does not have the money to take care of old people and provide healthcare, pensions and the various other benefits, even with the astronomical taxation that burdens hard working Canucks. Well Canada, you had a good run. Time for Canucks to move to an emerging country. We welcome you here in Southeast Asia.

The food bank is now being misused by many international students in Canada & it has already raised concerns by tax paying citizens. It has come to a situation where the homeless & desperate low income citizens can not get anything from food banks. There could be new restrictions coming up now. Citizens are now complaining that their children are unable to get part-time jobs since international students take up most of the jobs with competitive wages. This is another upcoming issue.

They would have to club this measure with increase in housing to bring prices down. Increasing cost of living is a pain that almost all country would face and with increasing population it would become harder for the country to handle it. There would be economic repurcussions but positives do outweigh the negative. All said and done, Canada's PM has to do what is right for canada and not the world. Also students being driven out of Canada being an issue, they have not stopped complete intakes, they would still get the best students that are applying. It is just like IIT's only the best get in. Now only the best would get in Canada, so there should be no issue for them also. For Indian students it just got tougher, but for Canada, everything would work out well
