No more students, go and study in your own country please ?

Being the reason why i left the country right after 6 months, truly horrifying when it comes to saving and studying, finding part time jobs in well known provinces is hell, even after you get the job, you won't get enough hours to save up for the upcoming year for your tuitions, you cannot do both at the same time, you either study or work, there's no point in dragging yourself for the specific period of time you're there for and end up driving either a uber or looking for tradework.

All foreign students must be denied asylum. Indian students must be denied asylum. Foreign students are here to study. They must leave once their study is completed.

These are not students , these are full grown men who dont want to study but settle in canada on pretext of studying

In my day, only rich kids went abroad to study so you never had this colossal mess to deal with ?

Not from Canada, but how are you going to come on a student visa for studies then ask for asylum? LOL

90 % percent of the Indian students don’t go back to their country !!!! Most of them come for immigration purposes not for studies !!!

I don't support you you came to study you go hom?

That is nice to have a lot of opportunities of works around the world. I don't think I could leave anything for negative purpose. Experience asks to learn from each others so if I keep a negative mind behind me, I would not able to go above and keep this experience. What I hate from my country, comThat is nice to have a lot of opportunities of works around the world. I don't think I could leave anything for negative purpose.

I think everybody around are super rich. I can never go only work, each day is a possible laid off whatsoerver my effort and education. You watch the dude beside, of course, he or she has much more spend time to build something with many reference, but he or she does better with a lower number of years to study. \n\nFor exemple, I watched the prime minister calling homophobic a sentence from someone without any right of speeking at a lower rank. People in the parlement have a wage over 100k per year to be on a seat, time is money, but they can't focus on their results. That tells me these people never live injustice and can't fight in the reality where everything is not fair and we have to make better despite all efforts are ruined by corruption. They don't need to have results on their decision. They know tomorrow, they will do a second chance and spend time make money.

They are fake students. They didn’t come here to study!! They came Canada to fking take away Canadians jobs!!!!!!!! Shame on them!

Height of Desperation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Nobody is here to study

deport these nasty bums, just because you studying in canada does not give you the right for citizenship.

Paying 20k to study abroad and then claiming asylum . ??

Why can't they just do online studies? Either that, or make it known and agreed to that they cannot apply for citizenship or asylum as a student.

Indian had the privilege to study in Canada ?? and after they asked for political asylum ?

Want to charge 5 times,6times more to foreign students and why these foreign students pay such huge money bcoz they want a better life than india if canadians expect that they should leave after studies then its hypocritical bcoz its always give and take they spend such huge sum for better life if canadians dont want that ,thats fine its their country,there rules but they should implement harsh rules and tell at first itself while visa is granted for studenr that he/she will have to leave canada after studies and lets see how many students will come here to pay such huge amounts for studies and that will be an eye opener for both indians and canadians

Applying asylum on a student visa after entering canada is first huge violation of study permit.

Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware. Just go home after you are done with your studies.

Just go back after your studies There used to be a time that I was happy to see in indian, especially in the nineties, but now I'm sick and tired of them\n\nThis is not canada anymore it's punjab.

Real international students brings resources to Canada. Government needs to look into students that actually come not for study but to work (making money back home). Besides, why entrepreneurs and start up programs that will benefits our society gets so hard to proceed (taking over years to complete)? Why nanny home support worker can come to Canada as permanent resident so fast and easy? The people of Canada need to be aware of these strange policies that were made. The policy makers do not use their brains measuring the actual needs of Canada. They make no efforts to look into how their policies will affect the lives of the people, the system of Canada including medical systems, our infrastructure or housing. They do not care if our society can have enough to support these low skilled workers and families, and also the new refugees and families. Can our economy support all these new families? Nowadays the economy of the world is so challenging, but would these policies makers care about this? They are not stupid then there must be some reasons behind. How can the normal citizens protect their rights? BUT wait…, all these new families are growing, these new comers will protect their rights too….

Sorry but the answer is no. You are just a temporary student to study for some kind of degree or something and then take that knowledge back to your home country and apply it there.\n\nMaximum stay 4 years and go away unless you are doing doctorate then it's 7 years and go away

If asylum seekers are from very specific country or countries, then all new study visas into Canada should be halted.

Half dont come here for studying...just a plot to get in.

I don't understand..\nThey came here to study, but now they are afraid to go back to their country for whatever reason conjured up (most likely closer to graduation time)?

You come to this country as a student and claim asylum. DENIED.\nAlso if you come here to study you should NOT be allowed in unless you can prove that you have the financial means to cover all costs associated with your stay, tuition, housing, food. Foreign students should NOT be allowed to take jobs away from CANADIANS

I once came across colleague who arrived on study permit, went to construction jobs while on the permit, took advantage of favouring exchange rate in his home country, send all his savings there, bought a 4 acre land and gets healthy crops there enough for his family to live a lavish life making enough to retire at 30. When his study permit and associated work permit expired and he didn't qualify for PR in Canada as per point system, applied for asylum stating political unrest back home. His asylum was accepted. We who think they are poor are fools. He was only 27 and said he will retire at 30. But I doubt he will ever go back to his home country.? Canada is his gold mine. He was from Bangladesh. Trust me Indians dont go that far. There is no political instability in India and if to the contrary Indians are claiming asylum the system is truly broken.

This is very telling and confims what we already knew. Many students are NOT here to study. Most are not. The student visas, which the liberals hand out like candy on Halloween, are simply an easily abused way of getting residency. And the liberals fell for it all hook line and sinker, letting in millions of students who will never leave, and who will then bring in their families as part of the liberal unification. This was their plan all along. Let's face it, Canada does not have an enviable education system. Why would an Indian student pay all that money to come to Canada to go to school, when they can easily get the same education for almost nothing in india? Back door immigration tactics. My kid just started college. His classes were of course stuffed full of international students on the first day or two. Now they don't come at all. They didn't come to Canada to study.

Asylum? Didn’t they come to “study”?

On what valid grounds that they claim for asylum?or they only wants to stay in Canada assuming that they can afford to study so it means they have good financial situations before flying to Canada ?

You came to study not to get PR..

I study in Canada college the college is having 5 rooms ? ? and all are Indians no foreigners no English

If they came on a student visa, they came in to study then go home...not seek asylum

tell me one country in the world that you have to study for 10 years to become a doctor? this is how dumb canada is

1:28 the immigration lawyer, Max Chaudhary, said the scrutiny did not take place. That's bull and extremely naive. The foreign students lied on their applications when they agreed to return home after studying, and now are applying for asylum to extend their stay at our expense. \nThey knew full well that the student visa was not an asylum claim. It was for study only. Period. \nThe students might even be coached by professional immigration consultants, who are being well paid, to scam the Canadian system.

RELEASE THE COUNTRY DATA. I am so certain we will see just 2 countries taking the majority of these claims. Why punish all international students if thr problem seems to have 1 or 2 sources? Im sorry, but not every country is in a condition to where we can trust that the students aren't merely using study as a way to get to Canada. Until this issues are addressed back home or can be screened harder here, people from those countries should be banned from applying. Its so ridiculous. If the data shows its like a relatively even asylum application rate from like 10+ countries ok Ill shut up. If its like 1 or 2 countries. ban Ban Ban ffs.

Doesn't make sense at all. Get them to go home. They study abroad away from home that means they're rich. They're living better lives than a majority of local Canadians. It's like feeding them out of your kids' pockets.

I honestly hate what Indians are doing in Canada, because of their dishonesty all international students are having issues. And Indians dared to protest against nee rules how can you be that stupid? Studying in canada is not a right but privilege, when you were coming here you said you will leave after school and how can you protest when they tell you to leave after school. Some Indians are big stupid

You come for study....or for PR?....

This is because Canada made asylum is the easiest option to get permanent residency. While harder for the students. Most of those int' students were completely fine back in their home country. Now theyre making a 100% false story, false documents to get their asylum approval. Allowing asylum claim for everyone, providing benfits for the claimants and ultimately giving easy approval is direct injustice to the students who studied, paid tuition, worked hard during PGWP. Making everything easier for the fake refugees encourage those false / unqualified / half-qualified students to claim asylum.

Besides higher English requirements, Canada ?? also needs to check for national security risks.\n- Many Chinese students don't come to Canada to study,\nbut to grab Canadian intellectual properties and \nto *launder corrupt money by buying up big houses.*

International students have no rights to protest other than study, which is why they come in the first place. Canada or US didn’t go to india and say please come. I think Canada should stop taking students through consultants in India. It is in India that people are selling false info and the students are blaming Canadian government. Even India has immigration rules and they are also strict in enforcing. Plus international students have to pay 10x more in Indian top colleges than local Indian. Rules are rules and should be followed or don’t come.

Why do Indian students think studying in Canada means moving to Canada permanently? When you are done with your studies you are supposed to go HOME.

I am an Indian studying abroad and we had our international study tour to Germany. Before our tour we had a cultural briefing session where they made us aware about the cultural norms especially about Hitler. The Prof. who conducted the briefing sessions specifically told us NOT to mention anything about Hitler. Despite this session, I remember one Indian, when we we had our time off in Germany after lectures, this Indian in the middle of the road went and did the famous Hitler pose. And I was embarrassed to the core. On top of this when I tried to intervene the person was laughing and jokingly said ' See nothing happened to me the Prof. was wrong'. I felt like I should sink or just go and jump in nearby river. This was so embarrassing No wonder people don't like Indians. Additionally, Indians who are following all rules and regulations also gets branded like being obnoxious.

Solution is not reporting solution is no more immigrants from everywhere in the world should enter Canada either for work or for studies.....so those who are in Canada should get jobs fast stop bringing more pple yet the one's that are here they're still suffering......

u coming here for study not for work every student shouldn't be allowed to work u should have enough money or family to help not like that

Of late, JT ( Liberal party) has become the whipping boy of Canada for all wrong reasons especially for the intake of a large number of international students and no one seems to be blaming the Conservative party that actually removed  the cap in 2014.  In 2014, in line with the International Education Strategy published by the  Government of Canada, the ruling dispensation decided to raise the number of international students from around 240,000 to over 450,000 by the year 2022. \n\nAccordingly in 2014, the then ruling dispensation (Conservative party) enhanced the number of international students visas to 327 thousand from the previous cap of 240 thousand.  In 2015, the figure went upto 352 thousand, representing almost a 47% increase  by CPC during their last 2 years in office .  As of 2023, there are over 1.5 million students holding study permits in Canada. \n\nIt is a known fact and no Canadian can sweep it under the carpet that the economic impact from the contribution by international students was felt across the entire country. From a mere $ 9 billion in 2014 it went to $12.8 billion in 2015 and it further enhanced to 15.5 billion in 2016. \n\nBy 2022, the Canadian government reported that the annual economic contribution of international students had increased to $22.3 billion, greater than exports of auto parts, lumber or aircraft. \n\nNow it is for the Canadians  to decide  as to who should be blamed  for  if Canadians feel that their country has become like a third world country- the international students who had contributed more than $22.3 billion to the exchequer of the govt  in the last 10 years or both the mainstream political parties namely Liberal Party and Conservative  Party  that failed the Canadians by opening up the flood gate to international students with  their eyes set only on the economic contribution  by international students  without  realising the after effect of huge unchecked  immigration of students. A myopic approach by the successive governments has brought in all sorts of chaos,  unrest, unemployment, shortage of houses, increase in cost of living etc..etc....to the Canadians. I can only sympathise with Canadins who are facing undue hardship and mental agony because of the wrongdoings of successive governments while worrying about the future of my ward who is pursuing  three years study program there.

Canadian goverment should keep on eye on them and track them,\nIts nothing wrong to comes to get study.\nBut they should sent them back after complete their study

I agree with this gentalman 200 percent. he is absoulety correct \nHe knows what he talking about international students took advantage of Canadian goverment weak immigration policies.\nThese international students use study excuse to get PR and Canadian Immigration after complete their study these international students have no intention to go back their country.\nThey are scammers.\n99.9 percent never go back where they came from,\nThey really make fool Canadian goverment.\nThey really were interested took part in study their only goal was to get CANADIAN PR and Immigration

At least they have the brains and they study and work ... when things kick off they will be backing your country....

Well, I don't think so; Indian international students asap take advantage of PR because they hate extended visas. They are more jealous of Canada for PR. They must learn the study is done when they go to home in India. They don't want go to Indian because they are stubborn to stay in Canada. No excuse!!! They are done go to home in Indian....
