As an Indian citizen, I can clearly understand why do visas are rejected. If you give visit visa they will disappear in that country and live there.

As an Indian living abroad I can say we don't have a very good reputation outside India, we are considered stinky bastards! which is not far from the truth.

INDIA IS NOT A RICH COUNTRY. POVERTY .CORRUPTION AND ILLEGAL MIGRATION FROM INDIA IS RISING .THE REASON WHY THE INDIAN PASSPORT IS NOT SO STRONG. THE LIVING STANDARD OF THE MAJORITY OF INDIAN CITIZENS IS VERY LOW .MANY DEVELOPED COUNTRYS DO NOT TRUST INDIAN CITIZENS.

India is a big country. Indians in America are the highest earning ethnic group for good reason. Their education and employment backs it up. However, the illiterate bunch that Canada imported from Punjab who by trade are farmers, truck drivers, taxi drivers and other labor intensive workers, is the reason why Canadians are pissed. The majority of the “students” barely speak English, which makes you wonder if the IELTS is even legit. Add the fact that cost of living is through the roof, Canada is a shitshow. The blame goes to: a. India b. Canada \n\nIndia is to blame for not having oversight over these so called “consultants” who help with immigration abroad. These agencies work with fake schools to allow so called students to emigrate. \n\nCanada is at fault for not doing their due diligence when issuing visas. Trudeau is a communist and single handedly destroyed Canada with his buddy, Jagmeet, by bringing all those Punjabis into Canada. Those Punjabis belong on a farm or driving a truck in India, not in Canada. Smart Indians want nothing to do with Canada now and this in turn will hurt Canada grow as a nation.

I mean as someone who has worked on the other side of things (as in deporting) the comprehension level of Indians at the immigration counter is appalling they would be asked one thing and all they would answer is but I have hotel bookings and return flight tickets… and this is not a language barrier as I interpret the interviews live…. Like why are you not listening to what is being asked? You guys need to work on your comprehension skills that’s all - Respectfully a fellow Indian.\n\nPS: Pro-tip from an insider every country just wants rock solid assurance that anyone coming in on a temporary visa would go back to their respective countries. Prove that. Simple. ?

If you can sense the prevalence of Indian opinions on their social media, most are pro and sympathize with Russia. They are bashing the west every chance they have. Yet we don’t them running to Russia to live there, but America and the west.

The rate at which indians running away from their country is alarming. They just don't want to live in their country and loom all over the world

JUST BECAUSE THE WEST IS USING INDIA TO STOP THE RISE OF BRICS OR FINANCING INDIAN ANTI CHINA HATE AND PROPAGANDA DOES NOT MEAN YOUR WESTERN MASTERS WANT YOU INDIANS IN THEIR NATIONS.. SORRY INDIA THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA..THE CHINESE KNOW THEY ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE WEST SO THEY DEVELOPED THEIR NATION WHERE WESTERNERS ARE FLOCKING TO CHINA. NO ONE RESPECTS A NATION WHERE 75 % OF THE POPULATION IS LIVING IN HELLISH POVERTY AND OPEN DEFECATION IS THE NORM. STOP DEMANDING THAT OTHER NATIONS TAKE IN YOUR OVER POPULATED POPULATIONS.YOU GUYS ARE CELEBRATING THE WORLDS LARGEST POPULATION, THEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR PEOPLE.

As an Indian living abroad I can say we don't have a very good reputation outside India

The population of Indian immigrants has skyrocketed in my native California since 2000. There are many lovely Indian people living here. But many are arrogant Tesla drivers that dont drive safely and act like they own the world. I slammed my breaks on once because a dog ran into the street and I didn’t want to hit it. And the Indian man behind me rear-ended me (which is completely his fault because he was riding too close behind.) He was furious and his response was “you should’ve hit the dog.” He kept saying it was my fault for stopping in the road and wouldn’t give me his insurance. I almost hit him, but instead I called the cops so they’d force him to give me his insurance.

Lol, She was riding Modi's Dichk live and Indian passport and look at her now. Woke Nonsense

Indian has talent that world needs, so does Cuba have the best doctors in the world. Problem India has it the respect they show when living in other people countries. People are telling their government to change policy. Canada is changing government to remove all illegal scammers with Canadian visa in Canada.

palki is living in a dream that all Indians are well-mannered in other countries. look at what Punjabis are doing canada.

Palki shama living at luxurious house,$6000 LV bag telling lies news on China and yet indians still believed in her stunts? She's paid by modi to telling lies to indians.

The reason is that some Indian finds it difficult to integrates.\n\n I know one Indian lady that have lived in one country for over 20 years and the lady cannot speak the language of that country. What a shame! \n\nSecondly, many of them like to dominate or discriminate against other people. It has been alleged that some Indian people discriminate against others in many places they work. For instance! Where their people are in charge in Canada, they will not offer jobs to none Indian. They preferred to give the job to an illegal immigrants from india than to give it to someone else who has complete paper work. \nThe video is on YouTube. \n\nIllegal immigrants from India protest boldly in Canada asking government to give them papers but reserve is the case in India. If an illegal immigrants is found anywhere in India, the name of that person is sorry. Too many foreigners are in India prisons for minor offence or immigration matters. I can go on and and on. \n\nVisa rejection is not a bad thing!!! Everyone must protest his or her own. \n \n\nIf it is possible, everyone should stay in their own country. No movement. Do business with your own people. No international business!!! \n\nOur ancestors survived without others, therefore we can survive too. \n\nI know many people will not like this comment but it is an opinion. \n\nI still like India but will not live there. Good luck to them. \n\n\nIn my view their ascent contributes to numerous visa denials. Let's say 10% . Then 30% is forgery. It has been alleged that some of them do too many documents forgery to get to Canada or whereever they wish to travel.\n Then \n10% is women maltreatment. (stories of rape etc). \n\n Finally, india is very big, they need to use their population as a tool for development. They have all it takes to be like China. 100%\n\nWake up Indian government. Look after your citizens or divide the damn country. It is too big. ?

Blessed New Year to all ... The reason for that is there are some Indians that come to the Caribbean overtakes and there are few locals to even have businesses and it been happening worldwide and there are some Indians whole scam people for the whole life living and that is why there's a trust issue they are faithful Indians their scam Indians and they are hardworking Indians and they are different Indians who just rely on their wealth to conquer but that is why other nations will feel threatened and feel that this is what they're coming to do so the best thing to do right now is cut it from the root and that is what is happening right now because on my island what we call front Street and back street is nothing but Indians and the local of growing frustrated ? about it because the island produced jewelry stores cosmetics electronics there's nothing there screams local so that is why people are getting fed up of it and they blame the government that is why I have heard on the street a lot of Indian blood will be shed

Indians should stay in India. Do not come into the West. You gained Independence for what of you still want to live and pay taxes in the white man's land. ????

Indians are also responsible . Bad visa form filling. \nTraveling abroad to work on tourist visa. Escaping into illegal permanent stay into Europe . But yes, Indian passport should be the top 20 but it isn’t because our house isn’t in place. Basically we’re mostly good people but uncivilised , undisciplined , not all but many. Get India orderly first, clean, green, pollution free, corruption free… and if they still do the same it’s because we want to go there more then they wish to come here. Do something that makes them come here. Top quality cheap tourism, food quality, pollution free, reduce population, increase the female population , give equal rights to woman, judicial system in India sucks, court cases should be fast tracked, law should be simple direst and effective. So much for us to do, money is not the only thing that makes us get quality living. Only the rich get all this stuff…

In UK new comer from Indian are so rude and their behaviour is so irrational shouting, drinking, urinating , on the bus shouting never give any way to elderly a seat . Most of them have never ever been to even Mubai . Now motor bike going into no entery under take like In India . They are spoilig Indian name . People who are living here for decades are feeling ashamed .

As a Pakistani, I understand that Indians, Bengalis and Pakistanis are considered by Europeans and Americans to be immoral. And it is also a fact that the people of these three countries of South Asia are extremely dirty and rude. They are not trained to eat, speak, or go to public places.Now, even in South Korea, Indians and Pakistanis are prohibited from entering clubs and bars. \nTherefore, the improvement lies in the fact that instead of earning wealth, one should first learn how to live.

They rank countries not only based on the size of their economies but also on the behavior of their people. Palki believes India is a superpower, but for the West, it is seen as a developing country with many people lacking proper behavior, ethics, and hygiene. Indian media needs to understand that respect is earned, not demanded or forced. Many Indians I have met in foreign countries tend to boast about their homeland while choosing to live in a developed country without fully integrating into the local culture. This plays a significant role in the rankings.

What goes against India is 1) illegal immigrants and refugee applications from Indians 2 when they go abroad 2) poor or lack of civic sense, dressing sense or hygiene, 3) BJP is failing to project India as shining plus BJP has made India a living messy hell

Stop being right centric \nIndians are not interested living in India\nAnd India is not even. A super power\nAnd Indian manners in terms of tourist or resident is ____.\nPlease stop dreaming

Because despite the Indian propaganda India is a smelly 3rd world failed state that lives off the income of exporting its people to receive their remittances.

It is due to the media person like you who keep on praising India and india but never highlights the flaws and issues living in india. Which flame the indian to get out from india and settled abroad. Which is growing day by day hence forcing authorities of other nations to impose ban on indian.

The weak passport and appeal is also affecting Indians who live as residents in some of these countries, where many internal visa services are now being discontinued for Indians.

Biggest obstacle for Indians is lack of respect for foreign land laws. For last 6 decades one can easily witness how careless and carefree Indians live in their own country. Small things from traffic rule followings, bribery, cheating anyone and everyone who is not alert or crook. Their ill actions from very young age onwards speak much louder than their worthless words. Sorry to say this bitter pill of truth, but as you know well, truth always reveals eventuality. Jai Hanumant -

Palkhi as much as I like watching your news your views here need to address real issues. I am a proud Indian who has lived in the UK for over 50 years. However I have to say whilst there are a lot of highly skilled Indian immigrants on work visas who contribute immensely to this country. however we now have a huge community of Indians those who have come over on illegal documents or on holiday visas and then never go back. They end up working in menial jobs or not working at all and perhaps this is an issue India needs to address. Sadly these immigrants will never be an economically contributing asset to this country or any other country and I am not surprised that the visa rate rejection is so high.

There are too many Indians everywhere you go in the world, too many still trying to get out of India. Working in Canada at a fast food restaurant gives someone from India (Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow....) a better standard of living than a middle class living in India. States like UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan... still living in 18th century. Gujjus were the first to got out and then Punjabis and then everyone, they damaged the reputation of Indians a lot.

Being a NRI living in the UK i have noticed a lot of Indians come over on temporary visas and end up staying illegally. And this practice is not just exclusive to the uk, i am sure it happens to many more countries where Indian people go. And also many Indian s to survive overseas will end up doing illegal things to survive. This could be a reason behind the spike in visa rejections

I strongly recommend, Indian's should behave according the country where they live & stop doing the scam from A to Z specially with the education.

Chinisaton or Indianization of Canada ..., has made it impossible of professionals to obtain jobs or keep jobs and therefore afford to live in Canada... Only Chinese/Indian with large communities and helped by their government ... can find ways to establish and bring more people in North America to colonize it in time Totally. White people especially males are discriminated, bullied, and forced out of their jobs in order to be replaced by Asian employees!

Why is it so difficult to figure out why ? Man I man an Indian living in Canada for more than 52 years. Majority of Indians who are migrating to Canada in last 10 plus years are criminals, even murderers. What happened to Indians ?

Palki maybe if you are not a godi adani RSSBJP spokesperson .you might one day do some real journalism. Not every issue has pro nationalist agenda. Go see how these students and Indian tourist behave ,It’s disgusting and appalling . No manners ,they are rude .do not follow , local laws and regulations. Let’s not even mention lack of hygiene. \nThis is why many countries like Australia,UK ,Europe Canada are clamping down on Desi indians..and the Indian immigrants who are born or living in these countries for decades are facing racism .

We are still living in a world where cow is our Mother. Doesn't know the meaning of civic sense. Racism at the highest peak. Religion against Religion. With all this how can you expect others to respect, love indians ??? Wake up dear indians

Indians ka poore duniya ke har shahar/city me jakar basna Hindustan ke asafalta ka sabse bada sabut hai. Japanese aisa kyun nahi karte? Kyun ke Japanese society/economy is capable of providing a good standard of living to Japanese in Japan itself inspite of having no natural resources (compared to India) and having more population density than India per sq km. Singapore is another example. 60 years back Singapore was one of the poorest countries in Asia. Today it ranks as a developed country with number 1 passport in the world as per Henley’s Passport Index. As long as Indians are busy with their religion/caste/language based politics there is no hope.

Most people in jails of Saudia, Dubai, Oman and Qatar are also Indians.\nMost illegal immigrant people living after visa expiry in USA & Canada are Indians. Indians dont leave the country after visa expiry.\nIndians are crying is jails of Saudia and Middle East.\nIndian government is doing nothing, government doesn't care.

What a shame for us to rank at 85. And here we talk soon India going to be a superpower, we were talking that Americans will line up to get Indian visa and here we are shamelessly standing at number 85. What a joke.\nLooters only know to loot our country with rampant corruption and being an expensive place to live in.

We Indians must agree that India is a $hithole country. First agree on this premise, so there is scope of improvement and think what to make our country prosperous.\nIn a prosperous country, every citizen will have high standard of living, will never dream of escaping away to get PR or citizenship of another nation.\nIMO, India will remain a $hithole as long as the population is above 400 million.

As an Indian living in New Zealand I see lot of people coming with intention to work or apply refugee leading to rejection

You are choosing to look at things unfairly as an Indian.\n\nI live in uganda and I have seen how Indians behave. They don't intermarry, most are racist and only marry among themselves and begin to speedily multiply in your nation. they look down on blacks/Africans in our own nation, they are rude and beat their wives, they are mean selling dangerous counterfeit products, some are involved in illegal businesses like fake money printing, when you supply them they don't want to pay back on time you may have to demand them for 6-12 months if you are to get your payment \n\nThese are some of the few issues I see about indians. Even I would refuse them a visa if it was upto me

First of all . I am an Indian living in Australia. \n1. The way some of us are behaving in these countries is the worst . Instead of respecting their culture and laws, we start behaving in the same way as in India .\n2. I don't want to put it out, but some people from certain places have a ready solution even if the immigration change their rules . They know every means to cheat their way in. \n3. Take, for example, 200 people come from other countries and do nonsense in India. Will we allow them ? Noooo, right ... but right now, thousands of our Indians are damaging other countries, bringing all kinds of dirty activities we do in India .Unnecessary protests are just 0.1% of them\n\nThis is the best decision taken by the other countries and it should become more strict in the coming days

West Wont Answer what Madam ? Why they Rank Indian Passport so low???? I am an Indian who is living in Canada, we Indians really need lessons on honor decency professionalism and credibility, they have ruined Canada upside down, thrash everywhere unethical real estate trades, peeing on the road , pooping in the river ,my god the list goes on, as an indian myself i am feeling so much embarrassed , only assimilating high professional and character Indians should be allowed to travel abroad, i am glad that they are rejecting and the passport rating is so low

Its for a nation to decide as to who should enter their boundaries. Here we are asking Indian born muslims living here for generations to go to Pakistan while we are arrogant enough to demand other nations to allow us in their contry. Wow!!

Improve trade and cut H4 visas for US as i have no idea on other countries. H4 visa housewives will really depressed in a country like US. because of depression crime rate will be more.? sometimes you wont have any indian friends near by even it has more indian immigrants. Give jobs to indians who are living there for generations. They must have contributed tons of inputs larger foreign trade income etc... Ask their inputs and India should make policies supportive or non supportive to indians. Dont send indians. They will suffer. As a indian we are nice people. help if you see any indians suffering in foreign countries. Please give help line to come back home . lot of movies you see in india shows immigrant suffering. those are all true. dont go unless you are rich and have billions of dollars. Increase jobs/ Salary/ skill training here. also improve immigration policies on other countries where indian immigrants is less. lot of foreign countries have worst weather. In those areas indians can Work from home. india should support WFH.?

First of all the Indians wants to keep decency in behavior. Because most of the foreign peoples live a quiet silent life but after migration of Indians they don't getting that peace vibe because of indians local behavior. So as an indian i support the rejection ?

The problem is fear that Indians will travel to the West and not go back. Not just Indians, but Africans, South Americans and many Asian countries do the same. I've lived in the US for 55 years. There was an Indian music troop that came to the US to perform, maybe 20 people, including singers, musicians, comedians etc. After their tour in the US, half of them did not return to India. They figured they can make a better living in the US and live here as an illegal immigrant. This is too common. The next time when a troop of musicians want a US visa, chances are the immigration office will think twice about approving a visa. I can travel anywhere with a US passport because people know that Americans will return back to the US.

as an NRI who lived in US, UK, and Canada, I can tell you that the so called developed nations are over hyped. Yes, there are so many things that are better in these countries compared to india, but all these countries lack one thing. Respect towards fellow human beings. I lived in several states in India, we have problems, but nothing compared to these countries. Indians don't belong outside of india. Don't go to any country out side of iindia...you are not welcome. I came back to india and I am living peacefully.

Indians IT professionals made a good impression to allow for fellow indians to come. But the current middle class Indians make the west feel like you are living in India. I don't know what you are talking about Palki. There are more Indians than any other nation in the west.

Most of the Indians travel to the west want to stay back in there. Go ahead go, go to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia etc there you cannot stay back, you will be arrested. In the us Indians are 3rd largest illegals living there, that tells all. If USA was closer to india, all the Indians would be the majority in the USA
