You know things are bad when the CBC is echoing that Immigration levels are a problem. I don't think there are many Canadians out there who think immigration is bad or that it's their fault, but the LEVEL of immigration we have right now is too much.
I dont mind it. It makes rich people richer
We’re all suffering with healthcare and housing because of it. Thanks Trudeau/Singh.
No, in this case now - immigration is bad and has been found to be detrimental to Canada's economy and overall society now!
Then Canadians need to accept raising taxes or lowering spending end more
They know their masters are changing soon, so they are just preparing for it. It's not genuine at all.
Basically, Canada is not setting boundaries on how many international students it can handle.
Because there are Canadian institutions who are just robbing these students. There are so called colleges run out of warehouses that are licensed by provincial governments. It is a legalized method of taking advantage of people from the 3rd world.
They want to cap visas. But they also need the money 😀
Because taxpayers don’t want taxes to go up
@@johnl.7754 but why should taxes go up is the first thing to think, what is happening which needs taxes to go up... answer is lack of oversight on everything and hence budget deficits
@@j.tt.4877where'd the money coming from in this situation?
Certainly not the students who put no money into the economy. (But instead take out countless funds)
90% of international students are not coming to Canada for studying, and they are not paying disproportionately exorbitant fees for Canadian education or degrees. They know they are paying a hefty amount to buy Canadian citizenship.
And the money they earned are not spent in Canada. Most of them gonna send them back to their home countries
Exactly
Most of them are not going to stay in Canada after getting citizenship, they will use NAFTA to work in the US, where the body shop consultancies will place them to jobs that they are not qualified to do.
Most go to earn money
100% indians
There are way too many. Canada is just one giant diploma mill. Ontario and BC are just states of India now. This is ridiculous.
Are u serious ? Acc to data of 2021 South Asians makeup only 11% of Ontarios population. I thought I would be around 50% seeing ur extreme statement.
While in BC, Chinese r biggest minority with 11% , Indians being close 9.6%
@@user-ns6kv7mk3m so you’re basing your comment off of 2-3 year old data when the recent influxes of Indians have happened in the last 2 years. If you live in any of Canada’s big city centres, you’d be very aware of how many of them there are.
@@user-ns6kv7mk3mI'm a foreigner just went to visit Canada this last December and he is is right, too many of them, like that's a high percentage in a few years, wait until a couple of decades

We need to slow down immigration until our social services and infrastructure can catch up. Shut down the diploma mills already.
good luck with that.where to begin twenty five years ago.who is running this policy?
Stop giving financial aids n use that money indoors
I agree 100 percent.
💯💥💥💥
The government's solution is always build more houses! Pump up that population! More consumption! More waste! Yeah!!
I'm putting all my money into housing, colleges, and universities. Buying up all the land I can get my hands on. Might even start my own university.
Keep bringing in more students. Turn this place into India. Drive that quality of life into the ground. Has your electricity bill gone up yet?
Get rid of these diploma mills. These students are coming here and not even getting a real education. Funny thing is most of these students don't even want to go to school. They would rather work and get a PR. Absolutely ridiculous.
Then the provincial government needs to shut those down…
Yes
These student are doing everything legal as per Canadian laws. which were created by Mr PM
@@WiseTreee I really really hope this is sarcasm, because Canadian people have difficulty making ends meet; government never use correctly taxpayer's money which frustrates us; Canadian students have to pay themselves for their studies, have difficulty to pay rent and you want us to subdidize education fees for international students? How do you want us to give temporary housing when there is no more housing available? There's so much people that lives on the streets and in tents!! Honestly, considering current events, this is too much asked for, it's not even realistic.
It's not only about students but the whole immigration system we had those last years according to experts and banks.
Don't push this further.
They all here for PR card who the fuxk travels this far to enroll in courses on culinary Indian cooking (georgian college).. and then go work at popeyes .
As a new citizen of Canada who came here as a refugee, I feel for Canadians who have been here for generations. No other country would tolerate this. I have nothing against people who come here to make it from less opportunistic places, as I was one of those people, but if you're gonna come to another country, respect its cultures and norms - don't act like you're still back home.
many countries tolerate this lol im from singapore and we have similar problems i heard that USA also does the government doesnt import people because they feel generous to migrants the govt imports people because more ppl = more gdp and birth rates around the world are decreasing so the best and fastest way to increase your population is to import
i think projecting hatred isnt the answer. This is tense for everyone. The government is to blame.
You might wanna keep your mouth shut buddy. You came to Canada and got all the free money and benefits as a refugee from the government whereas International students have at least contributed the money to the Canadian economy so better think twice before you open your mouth.
What I am actually worried about is the fact a high school student cannot get a job because some guy named Navdeep or Harmanjit has already taken the job.
While being in their mid 20s almost 30. It's ridiculous. If their managers are Indian. You have zero chance being hire if you're not Indian.
I applied for a part time position and got called to do an interview at Walmart, upon getting there it turned out to be a group interview with around 5 others. All five were international students with full time availability, 5AM to 11PM, 7 days a week. How are high school or university students trying to make some money on the side supposed to compete with their completely open availabilities because they don't go to class and just work full time?
@@user-zh4xq6ip3dthat’s crazy, “students” with a full week of availability. I’ve been trying to find a part time job too in BC, it’s rough out here. Good luck to you my friend
…who’s a middle-aged man that’s stuck working minimum wage jobs.
Yeah, I think you forgot to include that in.
@@user-zh4xq6ip3dYou only had 5? One time on February of this year, I got called for an in-person interview for a Toronto Blue Jays stadium job.
Little did I know, there were dozens of people. And I mean DOZENS. I had to wait about 6 hours before finally getting an interview.
I waited because I believed that I would’ve regretted leaving if I left before I eventually got my interview.
I’m most likely never doing that again. Especially not for a minimum wage job that I didn’t end up getting.
If it’s for a prestigious and high-paying one… then yeah, I’ll wait for a whole day without sleep.
I work for the BC provincial government, and part of my job is to hunt for homes to house women who are escaping violence. After spending 3 months searching for homes in Surrey, I've seen anywhere between 10-22 individuals living in a modest sized home. These homes are often very well run-down, have poor plumbing, and many illegal suites, and I've literally seen people sleeping in closets. Landlords can get away with this because the students from India don't care, don't have a choice, or are used to this standard. What the federal government is doing is unbelievable, allowing many people into the country. Just because international students come from places where they can sleep on top of each other doesn't mean they should allow it to happen here, reducing the living standards for everyday tax-paying Canadians. Despicable.
Nailed it. We now have a class system. Welcome to the 21st Century, Canada. :'(
The goal is to turn it into a third world country for others. While taking as much resources. A brilliant idea, and people are to obediently not say anything, while it happens beneath the surface. 2023 and 2024 are appearing identical in regards to silence.
@@jennifermarlow. Class has been the organizing principle since before confed.
So true! Canada is being destroyed.
No, students paying top dollar for college in Canada are not used to these standards. They are from rich families with better standards than the average Canadian here. They are forced to endure these conditions because greedy landlords and their minders in government allow this exploitation. These students have limited choices because they are sold a dream in their home countries about the opportunities in Canada. Their parents are racked with debt as well. Our government is responsible because we see these people as cash cows and not potential new citizens. I am very disappointmented by the attitudes of average Canadians towards these kids. We don't have enough housing in this country because our government doesn't see housing as a human right, but rather a commodity.
CBC is having this conversation like 8 years too late.
They've been having this conversation for years, look up the fifth estate episode they did. This is just the first time Ottawa is actually taking it seriously.
Isn't that always the way with them ?
@@EricBoulton26the only reason theyre taking it seriously now is because the polling is so strongly against them and they’re sweating seeing it and going into the next election, theyre in their 9th year and Trudeau and the liberals have made this country so much more difficult to live in, Canadians need to accept this was a failed government and move on and repair
@@EricBoulton26 , they are the same group that actively ban comments discussing some of the root causes. Such as banning anti-feminist talking points, and anti-whi_e ge00cide comments highlighting the federal government's plan to use tax payers to fund uncontrolled immigration while simultaneously doing nothing to help the local population, and actively demoralizing the local white population.
This was 10 years ago: Where are the stories, such as a friend of mine being refused a job he's overwhelmingly qualified for, because he was too white? And We think this type of discrimination has no impact on natality?
@@EricBoulton26 The Fifth Estate is great. I must have missed that episodd.
I’m in a Toronto university for computer science and 90% of the kids at international students from India
Happening in the UK too
Well thats how it is for computer science. Other majors are more diverse.
One of the reasons why I’m glad I dropped out of college, I would’ve continued to be a minority at my school while the majority are Indians.
How bad does it smell in there?
exactly
Canada is attracting the worst level of international students , poorly educated , poor civic sense, rural men from Northern India esp Punjab. I said this many years ago, to my parents , your going to see a collapse in social cohesion and we are seeing it in real time . This is having a disastrous effect on health care too, my father waited for 9 hours to get a scan, he lives with me now in the US and it took him 45 minutes to get a scan!!!
Those poorly educated come and take mortgages with low pay jobs and progress your financial institutions and you might get old with no home ,we are building your world silently with graveyard shift jobs when you are snoring
Stop with the bullshiet lol.
Healthcare has nothing to do with students rather the fall is on the government and already monopolized doctors and medical sector that hates competition.
Stop the gaslighting.
Mostly people from rural India are coming, you are right.
Canada is taking in all the criminals & so called students with drugs background especially from Punjab of India. That's the whole point which Indian Govt is also making that how all wanted criminals in India acquire Canadian citizenship so easily . We Indians don't want criminals to get ur country's citizenship as they create havoc in India from there But ur Govt keeps them safe for votes eg recently killed Nijjar was an Interpol listed offender who entered Canada despite having criminal background.
That’s absolutely untrue. I go to the university of Toronto and I’m Canadian and majority of students in the engineering program and computer science are south Asian and east. Indian international students are amongst some of the most hardworking and brilliant students there
Some of them don’t even go school. They go under and work in the underground economy
That’s a problem here in the US too but not just with immigrants that come in as students. Just in general immigrants.
and then protest when they fail
facts i know a few
You guys still don't seem to understand the situation here. These students don't come here for education, they come here for PR. Student Visa is just a bypass route for them to get that PR. I know few so called students who cant speak a word in english, how do you expect them to clear their international courses. They are not bright honest students. They are the jobless youth of India, who take loans or sell their lands to come here as students and spoil Canadian markets with cash jobs. My humble submission will be to stop Immigration for 3 years, and stop student visa to India for 5 years. Things will fall in place.
Well said
Then stop it completely ...why 5 years
Guys ...as an international student myself ...students alone aren't the reason for the housing crisis ...
Govt is extremely silent about the 100s of 1000s of refugees that they let in especially from middle East and Africa and they don't even have basic education to begin with ...
They live a luxury life and roam in luxury cars and they have great accomodation by the govt that comes out of tax payers money...
My landlord came across a lady from middle East and her family and...they don't work, they don't have any thing but grants from govt from which they live a 5 star life ...
Looks at the service sector, it, medical field ..how many are there who are interestslmstudents who are educated ...
This is a childish movement by Trudeau to secure more voted from Canadians and refugees painting a completely false narrative ...
@@cyrilmatthew2995
Taking in refugees from war-torn countries is MUCH different than international students choosing to come to Canada to study.
@@Kurathis552this punk says that because he is an international student. He just wants to deflect.
@@Kurathis552 why the govt if so silent about the real refugee crisis ...and students a portion of them are drilled and contribute to the economy... War torn regions ....why well versed middle Eastern nations like Egypt, use so blind and it's always up to USA and Canada to take in refygees...
Admit that refugees are ones that wreak havoc .. what's has hapned in Sweden, furnace, Germany and what UK is currently suffering ..I
If students choose to come and if they are qualified why can't they stay ...do your junk students just come coz they simple like to ....come on
1 in 40 people in Canada is an international student.
Last year we let in the same amount of new immigrants as the USA, a country with 10x our population.
Let that sink in.
The United States has a huge illegal immigration pipeline going on so you are only accounting for legal immigration.
Food banks are now closing in my area because these students are now going there for free food. Food banks were not set up to feed international students!!
Bad for the disadvantaged citizens.
Indians 😎
Most international students in Europe and north America come from wealthy families in their countries... they would be ashamed to go to a food bank in their own country ! This is a ridiculous claim !
480,000 people have immigrated to Canada in the last 90 days. These are the poorest of the poor, people that are considered low skill in Punjab. Canada is taking them all, with no plan to feed or house them.
But they'll work at Tim Hortons and Walmart for minimum wage.

@@stormblaze8 Until an Indian becomes the manager and only hires Indians. I've seen this happen in two of my workplaces in the past year.
Yes not just students tho immigration in general is way too much
Caught in the middle of this is Canadian nationals. I rented a room and got 100 replies from mostly international students. all competing with citizens. The government and people need to consider the citizens needs before students.
I don't think it's about attending to citizens needs first.
The mistakes should be corrected from the onset.
Allow only the number of people you can account for period.
No international student came into Canada illegally. We paid tuition and we will still pay rent if you provide us homes..
Government is supporting asylum seekers and refugees from thier pocket and then blaming students who are paying 4× the price of Canadians themselves.... how are we the cause.???
Does that even make any sense to you?
I have no sympathy for anybody who chooses to come here either without doing enough research, or worse still, to scam their way to a permanent residency. This needs to be cracked down, and hard, for the good of everybody involved.
Did you watch the video? Fact of the matter is, they leave after graduating. So it's a non issue
@@abeerkindred5038 All Indians I know stayed.
@@Saturn7747 Frankly that should not be a problem either because they probably found a job and the Canadian government is taxing their incomes.
This is a Canadian greed problem. Not the students' fault at all.
Of course they'll come if we allow them to. And we are allowing them to.
Why?
Because the colleges are accepting them without adequate facilities to teach them (forget housing them). Some of these CANADIAN colleges are renting movie theatres.
So these colleges are basically defrauding these students, and the burden goes onto the other Canadians.
Finally someone said this
the students are part of the problem too, they know they are participating in scams, they scam their way into the country to begin with
And these colleges charge DOUBLE the normal tuition to them as well.
These post secondary school are nothing but a racket. And their politician buddies allow it to go on because they get their kickbacks.
so true,
I agree . Canadian political decisions , wars in other parts of the world all contribute to the current economic climate . To an extent , the higher number of students ALLOWED into this country is a factor as well and now they have been made the only scapegoats. This is the government's fault and some people use it as an excuse to show hatred towards students who came here legally .
Yes, my mom works at a tech / trade college and says many of them do the bare minimum (attendance and school work wise) to just get a pass to meet the VISA requirements. She said cheating on tests is rampant and they don’t really do anything about it. So I’m thinking that I don’t want to hire a contractor that graduated from this school with a barely passing grade. She said often many of them seem to think that paying tuition means you get the certification.
You are so wrong about this. Many immigrants are pro conservatives and right wing.
so it is good for your mom .... job security.... these student pay double tuition feet than Canadian counterpart🤔
I've seen them and I know what you mean, they are also KIDS. They have no idea that only 1/3 of them would ever get PR because Canada doesn't market that losing this game is not going back home but going back home in 40K of debt. Your mom needs to start speaking truth to this 18 year olds.
Well, your MOM has a job because of these poor students! If your government were NOT CORRUPT, they would have not just issued licenses to these strip mall colleges where your MOM is employed. I feel more sorry for the students, who get scammed NOT by individuals but by the CANADIAN government that promotes their education as the best in the world, which clearly it is NOT. Believe me, the quality of some of the Professors is abysmal.
@@WiseTreee We don't have States in Canada.....🙄
Yes! Canada is accepting too many international students. My neighborhood is inundated with Indian students due to the private colleges near by and the rents have sky rocketed. There is no available homes or apartments to rent. Very frustrating.
Happening in the UK too
The problem is not the immigration AT ALL. The ACTUAL problem is the lack of societal integration: if these people do not learn our customs, laws, traditions, values and societal norms there will only be an increasing number of issues that will get more severe as time goes on.
They need to have a list of recognized schools that meet the standards. Schools like CDI and others should be banned from meeting the requirements.
CDI Diploma's are nothing but paper weights. I have 2 of them & they haven't helped me financially other than debt. The recruiter at CDI North Edmonton was, in retrospect, similar to a lying door salesman. I graduated with honors in my field. Also, many of the students dropped out. It's true these scammers need to stop for they harm the quality of Our Nations Workforce as well as infrastructure. Low productive people produce nothing!!!
Yes, diploma mills are terrible for everyone - the students, the local community, and Canada's reputation. They need to be shut down.
Unfortunately Canada has lowered its admission standards over the years. It risks downgrading its education system and sliding downwards
it is already downgrading ,just a name
Canada has upped its prices. It's indicative of the disgusting, capitalistic group of losers we have become.
It's even worse in Australia, and the WORST in New Zealand. When I taught at a uni in NZ, we actually had lecturers FIRED for issuing failing grades to international students. Why? Because it upset their home government, who was funding them. I'd say 9.9 out of 10 international students in any English-speaking country are there primarily for the visa benefits.
I agree, once they obtain a working permit through the diploma mill, they will enter the job market using their bachelor's or master's degrees from their home countries to compete with individuals who have Canadian bachelor's or master's degrees for jobs. Moreover, most employers who are hiring might not even notice the difference, thinking, "This person has a degree," even when their degree isn't acceptable for admission into university programs in Canada. This situation could make Canadian university education seem inadequate in the workplace.
Most of the international students are coming from just one country too…
And from one province in that country.

Canada needs to limit immigration based on available infrastructure.
Prices have skyrocketed and people can't find places to live. One building owner laughed in my face and said we aren't building these apartments for Canadians. He explained that he can get one years rent up front from international people and he keeps raising prices.. It's plain to see there is a problem.
Government needs to put in place rent control.
Or directed immigration to certain fields such as construction. For example, I am an international student and occupy 1 residential unit, but back in my country I built 144 residential units. If I stay here in Canada after the graduation, it is the field I will follow.
Altogether, the damage to this country by bringing in so many international students will cause Canadian citizens to immigrate elsewhere, including me at some point. It's hard to have this discussion sometimes as people will say you're being offensive, but really, I doubt the current climate of Canada is satisfactory for these overseas students either, their housing and job options here are poor and this affects Canadian citizes. If you go to places like Vancouver or Ottawa, it's completely unrecognizable to the unregulated amount of international students who are typically in poor situations.
Bro I came here as a student from India, Trust me its not offensive, even the students who made the mistake of coming here regret it. And I would too like the immigration to stop for everyone's sake because everybody in Canada is suffering. GOV. SHOULD LISTEN!
I was in Washington state recently and saw a sign asking for bus drivers, pay was $27USD/hour. Really made me wonder why I'm staying in this sinking ship of a country when a bus driver could make a better living than I just a couple hours south.

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.
Common sense = discriminatory.
Yes. Short and simple. Look at the lines for a retail job where kids line up for 10 blocks just to hand in a resume. Were doing everyone a disservice by allowing so many visas.
True, I use to apply this job every winter just cause I just need to work here and there to eat for the year since I’m kinda well of back then, so I apply at this temp job this year and OMG the line was LONG! I waited for 3 hours and still had to do a test inside before the interview. After talking to people there, it was finally cleared that these were international students who are not going to school looking for job, failing there class and bunch of immigrant. This year I didn’t get call back. Probably was giving to one of the international student or immigrant, not gotta lie my résumé was overqualified for sure compared to everyone there so now I’m dealing with a lot of people international student or immigrants applying same job that I used to as a local men. Now I decided to edit it myself and actually get a career going which is crazy to think that these international student are not thinking that way, and I am, it should be the international people that help us elevate this country. Otherwise what’s the point now bring them in. Doesn’t help us anymore. So go cool turkey, Canada after 21 days you’ll be feeling amazing and your body will finally say thank you one day
Nowadays higher education is a scam. So many diploma mills being operated purely for business. It's like they don't have enough seats for the customers who already bought the entrance tickets and they never stop selling the tickets 😂😂😂
We never had all these problems before Trudeau took office. Thats just a fact.
As a Canadian born from immigrant parents, Canada does need immigrants from time to time. However, there needs to be a limit! Especially immigrants from less developed countries like India from where the immigrants who come here do not adhere to the culture and laws of Canada.
We are talking about immigration, housing and jobs... and you are talking about culture.... what is the relationship

The example used should have been somewhere like Conestoga, which has become an absolute diploma-mill, basically selling residency. The impact on local communities has been ridiculous and many of those students are competing for local working class jobs. Remove the residency ability and the number of students will collapse, that is what is needed. If the institutions can't prove that they can house the students they should not be allowed to bring them in. If some of these diploma-mills go bust, good. We should be putting a break on immigration anyway, to give Canada a break to integrate the millions and millions that have come in in the past two decades.
I'm Bangladeshi, and I hear most students who go are going for PR. 99% of them. They go there and bash Canada lol oh the irony; 😅 I speak good English and enjoy English movies. I don't need to move to an English country to have the lifestyle if you know what I mean.
However, I think its impossible to not have a pr option for international students as some of them are really high skilled plus already has the education here. If Canada get immigrants directly abroad, why get from people who have studies here. Its just about control and proper policies and schools being legit and having dormssss
*_People come to Canada not to study but to migrate and have a PR and eventually be a Citizen..beat that_*
The purpose of immigration is to strengthen a country. It is not unreasonable to set limits on different types of immigrants in order to keep Canadas economy strong.
Yes, I am a conestoga college student. There are many indian students in the college. Some of them they don't go for study, instead, they went for work. Because of a lot of international students, the shortage of teachers, bad school services, higher tution fee and rental fee. I am not satisfied with my study experience.

Harper was right in imposing visa restrictions on certain countries.
Conservatives have been saying this for years, not that immigration is bad but rather that too much is problematic... Took a crisis to address it...
Students who come from certain countries (you know where) come to look for free food and free benefits from Canada. I work at a well known university and see them come for food bank the first day they landed. Even some came to complain that their grants got cut (of course, coz they never finish the thesis) and demanded for financial support as they need to pay for family expenses including car loan!! Wtf is car loan??? If you wonder where are these students from…you guess it’s right. We see them everywhere.
Need to stop work permit for international students or do not accept if insufficient financial for colleges / universities fees.
Yes, absolutely. It's absolutely overwhelming and disastrous, and it needs to be reigned it.
This should've been talked about YEARS ago.
International students promised that they got enough money to pay for their tuition fees and accommodation before getting university offer letter. It is funny they can work 40 hours just like the full time workers. Why did they tell that they got sufficient money to the University and Immigration and they wil focus on their study only till their study is completed? Why do they protest on roads now telling that teachers are falling them intentionally?

One more thing. That same guy who told me that also said he knows current managers who first came here with "student visas" who didn't go to school since they never planned to. Their purpose was to pretend they went. They just had to pay for the schooling while they worked their way up the ladder to become managers then eventual "citizens".
They want it and it just happens right?

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.
$60,000 vs. $6,000 that is the equation schools face. Both the government and schools will continue to run these scams. The money is too good to give up.
You need to protest please. Create a social media video so it gets attention and share. I’ve heard the same.. international students taking Canadians spots in schools. This cannot be taking place. They are displacing Canadians.
i have friends in their early 20s who cant get jobs and friends with well paying jobs who cant get a place of their own and have to house-share with roommates. it is disheartening seeing international students in this video complain that they cant get housing or jobs, but neither can canadians. the housing market needs to catch up to the population and demand but cant if it is outpaced unfortunately, which is the case for many other countries we are seeing making changes to immigration because of the population boom (such as the uk). some of these campuses should really consider taking those millions and investing them into campus housing if they want students so much
Yes, yes and yes.....Canadians first and housing for Canadians is a priority. If immigrants are having problems finding housing, too bad, so sad.
As a Student myself I wouldn't blame anyone beside the GOVERNMENT. They made this mess and hopefully people are smart enough to point fingers at the GOVERNMENT and not just quarrel with each other which usually happens... IMMIGRATION needs to STOP for at least 3-4 years
I and many of my coworkers are living in our parents basements on engineering salaries. We can't move out, the cost of living has skyrocketed because of them as they take up every rental and have like 8 people per place. Nobody can start a family, we're going to have massive depopulation issues.
Yes, that is definitely a good solution that ought to be implemented. Universities should be required to prove they have housing available for all the international students they accept. This would cut down on the diploma mills significantly and force universities to invest more in student housing.
I recall in past decades in the US it was a requirement for some schools that you live your first year on campus as an international student. That kept numbers down.
There is also a failure of recognizing that many of these international students are coming from nations with different political views or have extreme dogmatic values, and are ultimately bringing these issues abroad when they enter a new country.
Exactly the video is not taking into account the collapsing social cohesion which is happening in Canada.
Eh so Canada is no longer a country with political freedom? Only people with your approved political view can stay here?
@class6aa I think you may have missed my point. By differing political views and dogmatic values, I am referring extremist beliefs that can cause further division, conflict, and safety concerns amongst the greater public.

Indian Govt has long cautioned but it seems it's very late.
I'm an immigrant and my immigrant friends and I were talking about exactly this just the other day. I'd like to add some context on why so few international students stay: they can't. Schools prey on this very fact. In international recruiting, these schools use the promise of thriving local industries and trot out graduates working locally as major draws to these expensive programs. Then once students are in Canada, many of these schools couldn't care less: they offer little or sometimes no housing support, no immigration advice (or in my case and many of my friends' cases: they give straight-up false immigration advice that can screw you over or even get you in trouble). There absolutely needs to be regulation and accountability for these predatory schools; I think a good starting point would be capping the number of visas they can apply for based on the number of housing units available (either on-campus or via local development subsidy and homestays). Tons of students come to Canada completely unprepared due to false promises made by these schools, and then get spit out into an egregiously inefficient and broken work visa system.
My immigrant friends and I are all highly skilled in our specific field. There are only a handful of people in the world (let alone in Canada) who can do what I do at the level I do it, so I would be incredibly difficult to replace if I left Canada. Despite that, and despite being Canadian-educated (Canadian resources invested in me that you'd want to keep in Canada), remaining in Canada has been a massive struggle for me and my friends. We individually spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars every year to apply for permits that have to be renewed annually, but take the government 6+ months to process. Because the government is so backed up, we have to apply for *extra* permits to bridge that gap (more money, and more work added to IRCC's already-long line of applications). I'm in limbo for the majority of the year where I can't switch employers, can't leave the country, etc. It's horrible.
But I have it better than most. Of the international students in my year, only I and one other student are still in Canada because the transition to work permits is so needlessly long and difficult. Even a graduate who does manage to get a work permit might have to sit unemployed for 6 months or more before that permit is active. How is a student supposed to survive without work for that long? In order for employers to even apply to sponsor a graduate, they often have to do a lengthy labor market impact assessment, and so these graduates are stuck in a holding pattern, and they're the lucky ones. Immigration is absolutely vital to Canada and I hate how quickly these stories turn to xenophobic rhetoric, but we have to make space in the conversation to take a look at how schools are exploiting students and policy loopholes, and why they're doing it, and address those problems. The current system isn't fair to anyone.

Canadian collages did not had money 10 to 12 years ago to keep courses alive and pay professors without increasing tuition on Canadian born kids. so they charge international student double fee and makes millions of dollars. some of the courses had no value. still students are joining and coming here to get legal Permanent residence. It is multi million dollars business.
So the administrators and professors are basically free-riding off the rest of us.

What this guy said is true
Where are you from? Canadian education isn’t worth the struggle and I say this as an international student who briefly went homeless for a brief of time, luckily it was in summer and had some family friends give me a shelter. Even if you graduate, it will be hard to land a good job. I say this from experience, you’d be traumatized and I still ptsd from it. Call home I’m sure they’ll understand, i regret not doing it sooner.
Instead of hiring students, why not hire skilled workers? Like nurses, engineers and IT people.
Thje problem we have in canada about skilled workers from abroad is the corporatism of the professional association of medicine , nursing , engineering etc.... The are blocking the nurse ,doctor and engineer from abroad to work in their field in Canada.
Yes. We are also accepting too many permanent residents.
I've watched a few of these Andrew Chang documentaries. Pretty well researched and well delivered.
they also clean out local food banks not cool
Every single working staff including receptionist in my condo was fired and replaced by Indians in past year or so. Its sad to see that the government just doesn't care about well being of its own citizens.
Yes we are excepting to many international students. When the Canadian citizen cant even find a job in their home town, then thats a problem, and thats exactly whats happening. Companies see it as saving money when they hire these students, seeing the government pays half-wage subsidy for foreigners.
I was born in 93' and high school and Uni I worked in fast food to make money. Now almost all fastfood places I go to have entire inmigrant staff. It's makes me wonder if local teens or adults are losing job opportunities. I'm not against immigration, it just has to be sustainable for both sides
As a previous fast food manager I can assure, they are losing opportunities that actually accommodate to your average ‘high school’ aged young adult. Students get hired because they get a lower hourly rate and companies save money on labour but as sad as the negative cliches are, they are true from what I’ve seen! They take advantage of immigrant workers and dismiss rights! We had a coworker who was happy to escape what she called ‘Slave conditions’ at her family owned and ran sandwich store chain. It was sad that she was happy to have at least a paid 15 minute break. Definitely not ‘sunny ways’ for anyone.

I'd be interested in seeing the raw statistics of mass immigration vs job scarcity and value. Living in a rural town in one of Canada's poorest provinces, it feels like businesses are relying on immigrants to work for minimum wage, which is still $15 BELOW the living wage. Since they can hire people for less, they will do so. There is also the issue of these international students relying on and clearing-out food banks. They're sold the idea that they only need $10k a year to survive in Canada, and obviously they can't, so they rely on these systems (that were already struggling as more and more people face homelessness and extreme poverty) to get by.

International students are not students at all, just fast visa to come in Canada.
You forgot bringing in $30,000 per student just in fees.
Here is an easy solution, that will get rid of diploma mills, limit the number of international students to a ratio of domestic students and then put in a minimum threshold. For example, Minimum of 10k domestic students before you can accept international applicants, then limit the applicants to up to only 5% of the total students, this cap increases for schools that have more domestic students. Therefore, legitimate university can still attract legitimate international talent. Diploma mills that no domestic Canadian student goes to can't even open up to scam international students. Easy fix government will never do it.
Of course they won't. Did you miss the part about the schools basically requiring the money from foreign students to remain open?
Your method would eliminate high quality institutions altogether and close many schools outright. There'd be less spaces for Canadians than there are now.
It's a balancing act, one that ironically would make a great doctoral thesis.
@@KMCA779 Exactly, except i don't have any problems with schools closing. You're presuming that these schools offer some sort of value. A lot of these don't.

Step one: Say the students are the victim. Talk about all the good they do. How productive they are. How much money they bring. Say don't blame the students.
NO ONE IS BLAMING THE STUDENTS!!!
Step two: Make the reason we have to slow down study permits is because we can't provide for the students. We can't house them.
WHY IS THAT OUR RESPONSIBILITY? Why do we have to provide for them? They aren't citizens. They aren't permanent residents. Them coming here is a PRIVELIGE.
Why can't the answer just be that we have to lower numbers because life is totally unaffordable for Canadians/PRs. As if that alone isn't a good enough reason. As if we should just accept lower standards of living because we have to take care of international students.
