They don’t care about Canada but come here and force us to adapt while we’re in a housing and economic crisis and overpopulated and just finished lockdowns and layoffs and are being a gaslit into thinking we’re racist for seeing only one culture in our own country. it’s quite something especially for us who are still struggling to pay bills and make any money and have any joy in life seeing people come and claim victimhood in a place they just got too on purpose is quite appalling. It’s just Canadian culture is inherently taught to be honest and treat everyone equal when they know this and use it against us so they can lie and only help there own. It’s quite interesting how American politics has gotten young Canadians so confused on self identity and the idea of being racist that were just allowing it and bending over for them. Canadians are lonely and poor and cold and confused and will never own a home but immigrants are coming in and just expecting us to assimilate to there own culture across the world. I hope things change in the media as the media seems to be neglecting real Canadian hardships and sees Canadian citizens as rich privileged people that aren’t being directly fucked by this

Come to North East India where we respect all religions. We treat all as one

Travelling = going out, visiting and coming back\nNot one way ticket.

Was she the one who spoke in one of the debates that “Indian passport has too much value, ppl now suddenly respect and ask us are you from Mondi’s country?” How come they are happy to see Indian passports but reject India visa??? Hypocrisy ki Seema Khatam

They are making so much money for unreversible visa payment. Surely, Divine justice will come to them before long. Indians should go to the Philippines and there's also a one- month free visa. Ms. Palki is doing the right thing by exposing the unexposed.

Many Indian people go to Canada on student visas and never report to the college. They end up as illegals in the USA and Canada. They come from one specific region of India. This hurts the Indian passport ranking.

I am an Indian living in New Zealand, actually one of the biggest reason is the Visa scams Indians do especially from few states which has caused this issue. Also, the kind of people coming into the country, their no sense of comprehension towards the Local laws, culture and traditions.

When our great dear leader made india number one country in the world.. Most of the world think that why the world number one country citizens come to their nation.\n\nIndians stay In india and make india the great country in the whole universe.. Like we are the greatest country in the world now..\n\nRAISING ON THE GLOBAL STAGE.. NOTE THIS POINT YOUR HONOUR.. ?

Palki, I'm a huge admirer of your journalism. Being a proud Indian and living in NZ from a decade I can say it's not just the equality.\nThe amount of frauds we do in our visa application just to enter a foreign land, I can speak on behalf of NZ, makes it difficult for the next batch of applications coming from that region.\nI won't label that with racism because every country has the right to protect its borders. NZ, Aus in particular has a strong and proud Indian diaspora with more and more Indians successfully coming in every year. But we India as a large population has one of the most number of applications which also increases the chancesl of rejection.

Missing the true cause of rejections 》 Only one way and not planning to come back. ?

Palki ji, The elephant in the room is the folks who go on visitor visa, and then don’t come back to their home country. They have been miss using this for a long time & now causing problem for innocent ones.

I am a cruise ship worker and i travel US and canada every year . In 2023 i had my joining at dry dock in spain . And i was in Schengen visa center in kolkata . There i meet one sardar ji . He was their for the tourist visa and he told me , all his family members in Canada but his visa 7 times got rejected by the canadian authority. Now he want to get a tourist visa for spain and he have a plan to not come back . And he was telling me all those thing with extremely loud voice in front of the visa application center. Just imagine How crazy that was ?

Many countries jealousy about India and Indians. This comes to visa problem.\nIndia growing so fast no one country capable to challenge India.???????????

I live in Canada. A citizen now, love this country but India is and will always be a home. Canada is facing hard times currently, which is being faced by every country now and then but even the cause root of all these problems Canada is facing right now is coming from somehow from India. The most disruptive and disturbing people are here from India only with no civic sense. They come here and do not value the Canadian culture at all. They do all sort of illegal activities and try to do jugaad in everything, from which we escaped from India. Even on political grounds, the man who somehow messed up everything was under the influence and pressure of the man having Indian roots. I love India without a doubt but we can’t deny the real facts why Indians are being hated everywhere. People in my community here ( whites, First Nations, old Indians) love me and my family because they know how we respect the culture and values and laws of Canada. But there, where people don’t know us personally, we get judgemental eyes because of our colour and we know why, it’s not all of us, but still majority of us have destroyed the image of India and yes Indians deserve to be banned now. We need skills and knowledge and we should class apart from the stupid ones.

I also agree with this. \nI am New Zealand citizen with 23 years in this country! \nNew Zealand immigration is rejected my uncle's visa we already sponsor. \nImmigration officer rejected without asking any one question we already plan with our family reunion and show my kids to the family roots families more important. They only want to come for 2 weeks!!!!\nWe are genuine sponsors! New Zealand immigration please find it out about the genuine people!\n?

When some one gets visa then they have no boundaries for their behaviors and deeds they forget all the values of one who supposed have on top of it do all nonsenses for the sake of money it is not there faults it comes from the parents who ever comes out of the country they shout stick to that countries laws and guide sets one should not cross

Cheating, lawless citizens to blame, who don't know how to behave in a civilised setting and lacks basic civic sense. No one prefers people from the land of 'scamsters'. Don't think India is a 'big' thing, and Modi is vishwaguru - politicians and media are just fooling you!!! Yes this is coming from an Indian only.

We Sri Lanka You don't want no indian on our country don't come please and there's no one won't you are in their countries too I want to stay in your country to talk so highly about your country????

Henley passport index doesn't look at what nation you come from, just a simple one line formula which is : How many countries can you travel visa free

India is a country of many culture and different language, do not generalise every one as Indian, certain section of the people are causing the nuisance here and they are speaking very loud in the bus, in the restaurant they do not follow the hygiene, it's just a section of people coming from India in masses...

I'm not against Indian immigration I'm against all immigration at the moment no matter what part of the world you come from Asia, Europe, Africa it's way to much for Canada. And if i could get rid of one specific group of people it'd be the french.

HAVE THE NERVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BROWN IMMIGRANTS IN BRAMPTON OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN CANADA ???\n\nIf not for those NOT WHITE immigrants coming to Canada, Brampton would be like any other little city in Canada and would have diminished in population . The Whites alone couldn’t have provided enough of tax revenue to build infrastructure or maintain social programs.\nDue to projected low birth rates, The politicians did a quick fix to increase tax revenue. They offered IMMIGRATION to get working young families who already had education, skills and professions without investing a penny or offering help. Those Immigrants have to pay couple of thousand dollars to apply for immigration and have to prove that they have enough money until they find jobs.. They can’t claim welfare for few years either. By choice many Europeans don’t want to come to Canada. If not for those immigrants who work the aging population couldn’t have got pension.\n\nMUST ABSORB WHITE CANADIAN CULTURE ? English, German, Polish,Austrian, French , Spanish, Russian, Irish, Scottish, Greek, Italian, Turkish. ……..? WHICH ONE ?\nWhen Whites went to Anywhere. In Asia, Africa, Middle East , America, Canada and Australia did they absorb those cultures?\nDid they even ask for permission or get visas ?\nDid they not kill , massacre , rape ,torture and abused natives of those continents?\nDidn’t. The whites rob Or took by force all types of valuables, National treasures of those countries ?\nDidn’t the Whites forced their culture and religions to the Natives and punished them if they wouldn’t ?\n\nLook at Brampton now ! Look at those immigrant children ! Majority of them are university educated and hard working and paying taxes so all of us can live well. If the majority in a city is not like us, then we should learn their culture ?\nI look at the diversity and ENJOY AND feel the pride of a Canadian.\nITS NOT WHO WE ARE AND WHEN WE CAME BUT WHAT WE DO TO CONTRIBUTE TO OUR CANADA

No one wants to come here except the 1 million emmigrators who want escape the sh!tholes they came from. All this thanks to a megomaniac Poser Prince and his LIEBrals in an attempt to buy elections. VOTE these clowns OUT.

They are indians in usa, I don't understand why they needed visa if they are NRI they should have indian passport and if they have usa passport and have renounced indian citizenship, why did they not apply for OCI. i guess they never planned to come to india that often and this is just an one of affair so they didn't bother to get the OCI. Idiotic in my opinion, if god forbid they get in any trouble with the general hostility towards indians growing especially in USA, they should keep the option to just pack up and leave without all this visa issues on a moments notice.

Question if this country was stolen then what makes having more immigration here so righteous? Come on socialists/ globalists/ one worlders? They tore down just about all the trees and houses in Surrey B.C. They build their mega houses replacing us and ours, and the trees, ad even parks like Bear Creek Park is in danger by culprit pro nonstop development Surrey City Hall. It all began with Mayor Doug megahouse Mc Collum. Surrey sucks, full of crime and no fresh clean air.

I was born and raised in brampton. I am now 41 years old. When i was 20 i remember when the indians started to come into brampton they were taking our jobs because they would work for minium wage without benefits. Then they stated to buy the houses and bring in their families they had like 10 to 20 people living in one house, so only needing to work for minium wage they were able to purchase the houses faster. Then the stores started opening up and theis is when i left. Brampton was the best place in ontario to live (close to everything, small enough to feel like a town but yet big enough that it had everything available) \nNow its a shit hole

One time, I went on 1 day business trip to Canada ( i have American Citizenship, but born in Europe). Good Lord, I was asked so many ridiculous questions, and most were related to my former old country!!! Absolutely total idiotic nonsense!! I was told later, Canadians officials don't like people coming to the beloved country on business, they figure you come to destroy their Socialist Cabal and establish Capitalism!! Sacrilege!!

So entitled...going to a country they're not citizens or permanent residents of and making demands. A country that's much more desirable than the one they come from and that did them a favour letting them in in the first place. They're not entitled to residency.

Canadian's are forced out there apartments, then they rent them at a higher price to people from India they get more for rent. We don't see anyone from other countries living on the streets it's Canadians who built this country . Nova Scotia CP party let in 118,000 people in our tiny province , we are getting pushed out of our apartments while the people from India have a spot to live.. They just come here to work ,, Canadian'se don't like to work the lower end jobs. I rather see a Tim's close up , and a fast food resturant close up to ease up our housing.. All of them lie , every party, If you can't get a carpenter who is going to build the houses they talk about.. In NS, they only built 80 places,, that 's it in four years then charge huge amount for rent.. Not one party I would vote for they all lie, even about health care,,

i think deporting them is gonna be too costly and cause a lot of tension with the us and other countries, not to mention cruel for the people who managed to build a life for themselves only to have it taken away, and also might cause a recession because of the millions of jobs they used to hold being vacant suddenly.\ni think it would be a much better cheaper diplomatic and realistic move for the use to use its massive and already existing and funded military to lock down the border at essentially no added cost, and strictly deport any one who slips through after that lock down, the immigrants who are already inside aren't gonna be a problem so long as they're the last ones who ever get through. thats what i want my country the uk to do, a lockdown so no more hopefuls can get in, because as much as all the immigrants in my country don't deserve to be here, i recognise how much pain it would cause them to be deported after so long in this country. and since they're already here i say no harm in letting them stay as long as no more come.

We are not the one we are not is not the Canadian citizen that push pandemic are covered over the world is the politician them right so at the end of the day if you can come over with Canadian citizen of a woman

As a Canadian PR holder, the immigration system is broken. The fact that people who can't speak English, with criminal backgrounds and unqualified individuals can come in and stay while I had to wait 2 years for background checks and a 8.5 IELTS score, is insane. It shows that qualified workers aren't wanted but rather just get as many people from only one single country in the name of multiculturalism. Another thing which attracted me to Canada was the chance to experience different cultures but all I see are Indians and especially immigrants who don't want to integrate because Trudeau is happy with that and they bring their countries' domestic problems to Canada (read Gaza idiots and Khalistanis)

Indian immigrants don’t assimilate. That’s why they think it’s okay to take a shit on the beach. Indian hygiene standards are low. When you land in India, you are greeted with the smell of it. If you know, you know. It’s a stench that can’t be ignored. \n\nThey bring their mindset here and do not care to change. Why should they? They have formed communities here where they can all continue acting the same way they did in India. They don’t have to take accountability. \n\nMy parents immigrated here in the 80’s. They chose to come to Canada and maintain the standards of living here, not the ones from Bangladesh.\n\nIf you are an Indian immigrant, who recently immigrated here, I encourage you to question yourself before you decide that people are being racist towards you. Are you showering and wearing deodorant? Are you taking a shit in the street?

CANINDIA YAAAAAAYYYY.. IF NOT CANADA IS GONE.. 1.1 BIRTHRATE.. A DAY WILL COME WHEN CANADA WILL GO EMPTY..??.. make babies.. we need Canadian women to become baby factories.. ??.. Also.. Canadians are now shocked with what enforcement directorate published.. This was known all along.. shows how aloof and indifferent and dis connected Canadian society is.. yeehaa . Now every one talks ??

No one asked them to come here in the first place. they are a drain on our systems. I can't believe how much they breed!!!

If do much of one people come with cheap labor what you expect ??

Canada is not a multicultural country anymore. It is stacked by people coming only from one country. Trudeau made Brampton Ontario like a third-world country full of garbage.

I am Indian living in Canada and I hate a lot of what these new comers from India are doing. They are exploiting immigration system, tax system and everything they can without any bit of shame. These days most crime comes from only one state in India. Most Indians dont even want to live in Brampton or Surrey, I definitely dont want to live there !!!

One day it will be the European colonizers in the US and Canada that will be deported back to Europe. That day will come...?

Scammers, dirty, stinky, don't simulate, not all of them but most, taking jobs from Canadians. Canada went dowhill when you started coming in big numbers. I have a to say I met some nice and decent ones but not many. This is Trudeau fault not Indians..

I came to Saskatchewan Canada as an international student in fall 2023. I did a care assistant program and was attracted to coming to Canada because I kept hearing that there is a labour shortage in healthcare in Canada. However I feel like everything just started going to sh*t in 2024 when I was finishing up my program ?.\n\n One of the things I'd like to highlight about the small towns is that they can be very biased in their hiring practices. Some of us as (black) students had a hard time getting jobs in healthcare in the town because jobs were given based on family and friend linkages (so mostly white or Filipino people got hired). Also there was a severe housing shortage. So even though locals (from my perception) wanted us to stay and work in healthcare (because they are short staffed), realistically there was no where to stay. Canada can't say it wants people in more rural areas and not improve housing in those areas as well. I have honestly been rather disappointed with Canada because I expected better planning from a developed country.

INDIA TO CANADA NOT EASY TO COME .IT IS NOT LIKE LUDHIANA TO JA LLANDHAR PB..25 TO 30 LACS ONE CAN START SMALL BUSINESS IN HOME TOWN.

AGREE \nVisa is permission and not a legal right and permission comes with certain conditions and one giving permission has right to check the compliance . \n\nBUT SLSO ASK \n why Canada is letting these fake College and Universities dupe students and their parents in India through their agents . \nCanada Australia England and US all English speaking countries and their unethical education system enticed looted and trapped not so intelligent students and their naive parents with a promise of education and PR . Governments of these countries are to blame

If they are legitimate...no worries! But, if they used fraudulent methods to get into Canada, they need to go back wherever they came from. Sadly, Trudeau and Singh are in bed together and probably allowed all these Punjabis and Khalistani sympathizers in. Just read the news and look whats coming out about the two of them. Talk about favoring one race... it's all coming out in the open. Yay!!!

There are many fraudulent agents in India, sending students to various countries. Because of such agents, the students are affected, and India to gets a bad reputation, internationally. \n\nCanada ?? should deport all such fraudulent cases, and consider only the genuine ones for PR.\n\nThis will also alert India students in India. Their coming into Canada ?? will be reduced in the coming years.\n\nBut, good ? luck to Indian students, as Germany and Russia are opening their doors for international students/immigrants in 2025.\n\nPlease go to Germany & Russia, to enjoy(destroy), leaving Canada ??, alone.

This is exactly what will happen if you let every Tom Dick and Harry enter a country. Canada needs to check the quality of Indians they allow into their country instead of allowing anyone and everyone who applies to come there. There's good, bad an ugly in every country and one needs to have sound government policies to regulate and quality check immigration.

American needs to pull a Willy Wonka no one comes in no one comes out.

I don't understand where this entitlement is coming from! You are international students and that doesn't guarantee PR. No one forced you to go to Canada and spend money there. You are all disgusting. You know where you stand and stop telling Canada what to do and not to do! Enough already!

The good old days in Canada are over ! These people are invading our country thanks to that spoiled puppet in Ottawa. I don’t know why anybody would want to come to Canada? There’s no cheap homes anywhere unless you want to live in some little town in Newfoundland, it’s cold ,everything is expensive ,no future for young people starting out! Only survival of the fittest! My cousin came from Rome one time , she said : not even dead I would want to be here!

If it comes to this argument—only First Nation people can say this… No one else has the right to say this other than aboriginal people. It does not matter who you are unless you are aboriginal.
