Why can't you just stop till you minimize the numbers..heller..The USA and Canada can no longer take in immigrants. We have our own issues, like drugs, homelessness, high rents...too much to list

These immigrants arrived legally and were granted legal status. In Canada, individuals must live in the country for five years before they can apply for citizenship. So, why should they be deported? I could understand if they had entered illegally and bypassed the proper legal process, but that is not the case here. Why would Canada adopt policies similar to those of Trump in the U.S.?\n\n-------\n@derekpam7149\nMy point is straightforward: these individuals followed the legal process to enter Canada and were granted legal status. They have adhered to the rules, and deporting them after they’ve done everything correctly seems unjust. Comparing this to Trump-era policies in the U.S. does not align with the values Canada upholds regarding fairness and due process. I’m asking why Canada would take such an approach when these people have complied with the law. Could you clarify what part of this seems complex to you? Perhaps you need to revisit your studies and review elementary education, as this is taught in schools. Canada is a 'land of immigrants.' It's part of history, long before you were born.\n\nI have no issues with deporting individuals who entered Canada illegally. However, these rules should not apply to people who migrated to Canada legally, are working as doctors, nurses, engineers, and so on, and are simply waiting for their citizenship. Your message is clearly irrelevant and discriminatory.

Americans want legal ways to citizenship to be improved but we cannot accept mass, unregulated immigration. It is not sustainable. Both parties can agree on that but we can’t agree on how to fix it. The issue is that there are too many people coming and it’s overwhelming our system. It’s sad to see people upset but we have to put our own country’s interests first.

You guys needed Trump to step on your toes to get this issue and problem solved in this country. Look where it's going. Canada has never been like this. Thanks Trudeau for screwing it up

Trump did more for Canadas illegal gun issue than any gun ban ever could. About time someone gifted the pm a spine.

Because Indians are not good guest at all. They either behave like India is a superpower of some sort (very far detached from reality, India is just a third world country with a big mouth) or they are some rich investors who needs to be given priority everywhere! Learn proper etiquette and some manners. Furthermore, there are just too many Indians trying to escape poverty through immigration...nothing wrong with that but other countries also have issues of their own and cannot accommodate all economic migrants.

They've had it too good, too easy. The US has no obligation to help everyone that cries over their issues. It's unfortunate but laws are laws. Hope there's a solution to ease their situation ♡

I don’t like trump but I agree with him in this issue.

All other countries are allowed borders and laws so what is this issue about? Furthermore the USA was paying for other countries borders. This is not about Trump this is the will of the people! My ancestors came legally, my wife came legally and it was very hard, took years and cost money! Do it legally!\n\nI spent the first 4 years of my relationship with my wife in separate countries. We saw eachother twice a year, and video calls each night. The thing is i understand because laws are in place. Now we have gangs taking over apartment complexs, who knows how many terrorists, and criminals. Do you know how disrespectful Biden policies are to people who who did things properly and legally are?

Trump working to fix issues and make America better \nAmericans ?? ✅ \nEuropeans ?????❌

Why are you sensationalizing the issue by misleading thumb nails . Just somparing data with 2019 is not enough. Go further in history and see the picture. Also USA ratio has dropped .

Justin Trudeau killed Canada. Indians have one huge issue which is anywhere they move, they move with their 14 generation.

Mexico’s Economic Apocalypse: My Personal Analysis\n\nThe imposition of a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports by the United States would be nothing short of an economic death sentence for Mexico. As someone deeply concerned about the integrity of U.S. borders, sovereignty, and the well-being of American citizens, I believe this tariff is both justified and necessary. Mexico has repeatedly ignored its responsibilities as a neighbor, and it is time for accountability. Let’s examine the devastating impact this tariff would have on Mexico in brutal, undeniable detail.\n\n\n---\n\nEconomic Collapse: A Nation on Its Knees\n\nMexico’s economy relies heavily on exports, with over 80% of its exports destined for the United States. A 25% tariff would obliterate Mexico’s competitive edge, pricing its goods out of the U.S. market. The result? A $100 billion annual loss in trade revenue—a wound so deep it would cripple the nation’s economy beyond repair.\n\nGDP Freefall: With exports constituting 28% of Mexico’s GDP, the tariff would slash growth rates and plunge Mexico into a severe recession. Entire industries would collapse under the weight of unsold goods and lost revenue streams.\n\nMassive Manufacturing Shutdowns: Mexico’s lifeblood industries—automotive, electronics, and steel—would face annihilation. Plants dependent on U.S. buyers would grind to a halt, leaving millions unemployed.\n\n\n\n---\n\nSocial and Humanitarian Crisis: A Nation in Chaos\n\nThe economic fallout wouldn’t just affect industries—it would decimate millions of lives:\n\nUnemployment Epidemic: With factories shuttered and exports decimated, unemployment would skyrocket, leaving millions of families destitute. Entire regions reliant on U.S. trade would become economic wastelands.\n\nHuman Desperation: Widespread poverty would fuel desperation, leading to a surge in crime, social unrest, and violence. Mexico’s already fragile social fabric would unravel, plunging the nation into chaos.\n\nMass Emigration: Unable to survive in their homeland, millions of Mexicans would flee to the United States, creating an unprecedented border crisis—ironically the very issue the tariff seeks to address.\n\n\n\n---\n\nFinancial Ruin: Mexico’s Peso in Freefall\n\nThe peso would face catastrophic devaluation, losing value faster than at any point in modern history. This would create:\n\nHyperinflation: Everyday goods would become unaffordable for the average citizen. The price of imported essentials—like medicine and machinery—would skyrocket.\n\nInvestor Exodus: Foreign investors, seeing no future for Mexico’s economy, would abandon the country. Capital flight would cause Mexico’s stock market to crash, sending shockwaves through the financial system.\n\n\n\n---\n\nThe Root Cause: Mexico’s Negligence\n\nMexico has brought this apocalypse upon itself through years of neglect and willful inaction:\n\nIllegal Immigration: Mexico has consistently allowed massive waves of illegal immigrants to flow across its northern border, destabilizing U.S. communities and eroding American sovereignty.\n\nDrug Trafficking: The unchecked trafficking of fentanyl and other deadly drugs through Mexican cartels has killed tens of thousands of Americans annually. Mexico has done little to combat this epidemic, allowing cartels to thrive.\n\nBroken Promises: Despite agreements and warnings, Mexico has failed to step up as a responsible partner. Words without action are meaningless, and the time for talk is over.\n\n\n\n---\n\nWhy Trump’s 25% Tariff is Justified\n\nPresident Trump’s 25% tariff isn’t just an economic tool—it’s a weapon of justice aimed at holding Mexico accountable for its negligence. Here’s why this move is essential:\n\n1. Securing U.S. Borders: Mexico’s failure to stop illegal immigration has forced the United States to act decisively. This tariff will compel Mexico to finally enforce its borders and prevent illegal crossings.\n\n\n2. Protecting American Lives: The flow of drugs like fentanyl must stop. By crippling Mexico’s economy, the tariff weakens the cartels that profit from this deadly trade.\n\n\n3. Economic Leverage: The U.S. is Mexico’s largest trading partner. Without access to the American market, Mexico’s economy collapses. This leverage ensures Mexico has no choice but to comply with U.S. demands.\n\n\n\n\n---\n\nA Brutal but Necessary Move\n\nYes, this tariff would cause unimaginable suffering in Mexico, but that suffering is a direct result of its government’s failures. President Trump is not to blame—Mexico is. By ignoring its responsibilities, Mexico has forced America to take a stand. The economic apocalypse that follows is the price Mexico must pay for its negligence.\n\nThis is not just about punishing Mexico—it’s about protecting the United States. It’s about securing our borders, saving American lives, and ensuring that the U.S. economy is not undermined by a neighbor that refuses to act responsibly. In the end, the 25% tariff is a painful but unavoidable reckoning for a nation that has long shirked its duties. The survival of Mexico’s economy depends entirely on its willingness to change course—and fast.

As a South African Indian, I am frequently embarrassed by the raucous and immature behaviour of many tourists from India. South Africans have learnt discipline, Indians from the subcontinent appear to have missed this lesson. Apart from their clannish nature and biased view of other people of colour, Indians need to learn humility- not just preach it, but practice it. It may appear like a minor issue to you, but it certainly portrays you in bad light. The world has become an intolerant place. Having money doesn’t make you more tolerable. Drop the cocky attitudes and practice patience- it may just change the bitter taste Indian tourists have left in the mouths of many people around the globe.

What Govt needs to do now is actively find solution for issues in the country. Why are ppl leaving the country. You have resource and massively educated young crowd, multiple billionaires and many many millionaires so whats wrong?

I have heard the average just to have baby in the US is 7-10K not including prenatal care, here in Canada it is zero…\nI have been pregnant 3 times, sadly lost my first 2, and I have had 2 complete knee replacements and several spinal cord surgeries…I would be dead for sure if I lived in the States, here I have paid nothing, I have insurance and that pays for my medication I need to take. I don’t know how people manage down there if you have health issues.

The New Zealand Government has looked at problems with certain countries that have an issue with fake documentation, multi identity documentation, failure to attend educational Institutions as a foreign student, false partnership and marriage application. Also the vulnerable class 4 and 5 Accredited Employers Work Visa holders that have been scammed by employers or agents that do not pay wages, provide set hours, lie about providing accommodation etc.. A large percentage of these problems arise from inside these communities. That is for example a Chinese or Indian businesses owner that is a New Zealand Permanent Resident or Citizen sponsoring a Worker from either country and exploiting them.

These reasons may be applicable for few. But in general even if the visa applicant is educated and valid reason to travel, the visa gets rejected and no valid reason is given. \n\nEducation and civic sense issues are there, but not everyone is from that class, so cannot generalise. \n\nWe as Indians must learn to talk well about ourselves.

It is reported in New Zealand that a huge percentage of Indian visa applications contain false information and Indian's make up a high proportion of illegal immigrants in NZ, hence the scruitiny that Indian passport holders are under when applying for a visa to visit, work or study in NZ. Human trafficking is also an issue NZ is trying to stamp out and India is a source country of illegally trafficked people.

All she had to do was pay the man his $800 a month. How do you let $800 turn into 41k. It seems Canada had the same squatting issue we have in the U.S. This is why my family just keeps our properties empty.

You talked around the real issue but call yourself a reporter. \nHere's the real reason:\nVivek Rama made a recent comment that got wyte Americans upset...and now wyte America has a distrust towards Indians and feel like Indians are forgetting their place in the American racial ladder...Also, wyte populations are shrinking around the world. Time to slow down with this immigration. I'm all for it because as an FBA, I mostly see these entitled Indians coming here to the states and they are racist towards me and my ppl. Those kind of ppl need to stay in their homeland...

Social media has ruined a lot of things. People do things they never used to before. We Indian lack civil sense, and lets not forget the rivalry between, north south, different religions, and separatist movements, they bring problems along with them to places they migrate to. Sense of cleanliness is not there, issue is, we don't teach kids how to clean up after themselves, especially, boys. Illegal immigration and creation of ghettos is another reason we are disliked.

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.

Palki, do you think these developed countries issue visas as easily as making chapati at home? There are requirements.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that you are just an Indian mouthpiece and not an objective journalist. Investigate why western countries are now having a hard time trusting Indian immigrants. Explore concerns such as the submission of fake school and bank documents, certificates obtained through questionable means, or unethical practices like bribery and cheating, engaging in criminal activities such as transporting drugs. Additionally, examine behaviours that have drawn criticism, including conduct in public spaces like food banks, traffic violations, littering in parks, noise levels, and hygiene practices in communal settings. These observations merely scratch the surface of a complex issue that deserves thoughtful and nuanced analysis. India should teach them proper social etiquette on how to act in other countries. You can't buy civility

Here's a refined version of your message:\n\n---\n\nThere is a significant number of Indians in Australia and New Zealand, many of whom initially arrived as international students and chose to stay. This has contributed to a rise in house rents and increased difficulty in finding accommodation. With a population of 28 million, Australia sees a high presence of Indians, who often fill many job positions, making it challenging for citizens to find employment. The Australian and New Zealand governments are partly to blame for issuing visas without expanding housing and job opportunities to accommodate the influx of visitors, students, and immigrants.\n\n---\n\nI hope this helps. If you need any further adjustments, feel free to let me know.

Palki: your program shows only part of the story. \n\nIndians are one of the most visible visa violators. You should know that in the US, we have 700,000 illegal immigrants, which includes people who are overstaying their given visa duration. \n\nOver 15% of the Indian population in the US are illegal aliens. \n\nBy giving such incomplete picture of the issue, you are only losing your credibility outside India as a Angrezi Indian TV program \n\nYou should do a series of programs on why Indians, in the middle of such promising growth, are so desperately wanting to leave India to Angrezi-speaking Gora countries. \n\nYou should dig a little deep into the issue. \n\nUK and France are under the grip of their social fabric being torn apart because of their own past errors and sins as empires. \n\nBelgium and Holland are already changed demographically with legal and illegal immigrants. \n\nCanada, Australia and NZ are threatened by Indian immigrants who have entered their counties under the guise of students. The populations of these countries are smaller than Delhi, Mumbai, and Kolkata metro populations. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman

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

The landlord must have engaged in some criminal activity. Where did he come up with so much money to buy so many houses in Canada? Does he own any property in his country? why nobody look at real issue.

There has to be a reason why so many Indians want to come to all these countries maybe you should resolve your issues in your own country instead of bringing them to all these innocent countries

Believe or not because of the behavioural issues also become one reason for rejection. Maybe not a big reason but it definitely should consider. Any immigrant who enters to a country must obey the rules and policies, respect others, environment, culture etc. in Canada from some cities other nations are moving out out due this people are trying to make here as their country in all aspects. Most of them are really loud in stores and anywhere we go. Definitely there should be some behavioural lessons for them for sure. Some make illegal documents. Some so gossipy at work places. Some tell so much lies to reach higher places at work. Some are gangsters. We have other nations but I personally see only very few nations don’t blend well with the country. Every country have people as mentioned above but it’s more commonly we see and noticed in some cultures due to poor and no proper education. It’s unfortunate

I think i am beginning to lose interest in this channel, seem more like CNN when analysing issues. What's Indian rejection rate of other countries application. Why don't Indians stay home and build it's country as the west country asking them to do with the rejection. I come in peace ✌?

Well this is misleading - do you know why new zealand rejects? There are many issues with Indians

Indians travelling abroad should also need to have basic common sense. These middle class needs to have attitude adjustment and also have the plans to come back after the visit. Do not take travel visa as some sort of right to stay back illegally. Vacations should be spend in the right way, you book a hotel, for an example, do not try to take the amenities provided by hotel for their guest as some sort of right to take away things. Because of a few, the whole nation gets its reputation tarnished. Please talk about these issues as well.

Ya Palki how will the global countries trust India when we got a PM who issued his fake degree n he’s stopping everyone tooth n nail from checking his fake degree in the university

To be honest, I support this rejection rate.\nIndia doesn’t export Satya Nadella or Sundar Puchai anymore.\nMore of them are people with behavioural issues & causing a lot of problems.

This is actually a major issue that our nation has to seriously rethink about

I really lost all respect for Palki, she has become the person she criticizes others for. A propaganda machine. Its hard time that she raises real issues that India is facing currently, increasing unemployment rates, low per capita income and most importantly, civil regulations. Because I been to your country multiple times now and I love the experience too but when I see and hear certain things my heart sinks. The government must be held accountable.

Why Singapore Passport is even accepted in everywhere without any issues. \nThere was a time when Singapore was kicked out from Malaysia.\nNow Singapore own half assets of Malaysia \n\nAny comments

Forget VISA rejection and monetary loss. In my case, great economic power USA just gulped the application fees paid for whole family intending to attend cousin's marriage in USA . All done under covid pretext. No issue there but they stonewall in best way any enquiry for interview date. Now they say apply again and pay fees again. 55k INR helped USA economy that is my contribution to most powerful and resourceful economic beggar inthe world.

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.

Our Foreign Ministry should take up the issues with concerned countries.US consulate opened but not decided when to start operation. Then why the hurry in opening ? Just photo opportunities.?

The world See the issues and wrong behaviour of India ! How the treat others it’s come back as Karma ! India think the r big Bit noooooooooooi! India Young and smart people will leave India! Bcs Indian Goverment is just horrible and keep also the criminal hassina ! Thats for what India will suffer!

Hello Indians \n*Let’s be honest => How many Indian returned back to India if they issued visit visa for 1st world countries?* Answer is almost 70% doesn’t want to return.

1. Don’t Litter ?️: Public spaces are not personal trash bins. Strict enforcement and awareness campaigns are necessary to keep our surroundings clean.\n\n\n2. Maintain Decorum in Public ?: Speaking loudly in public places disrupts others. Let’s promote respectful behavior in shared spaces.\n\n\n3. Regulate Loudspeakers ?❌: Public areas are not meant for private celebrations or loud music. Clear rules must govern noise pollution.\n\n\n4. Private Celebrations, Private Spaces ??: Family events and festivals are personal affairs. They shouldn’t disturb neighborhoods with excessive noise or inconvenience.\n\n\n5. Environmentally Friendly Festivals ?✨: Celebrations should not harm the environment. Sustainable and eco-friendly practices should be encouraged for festivals.\n\n\n6. No Spitting in Public ??: Spitting in public spaces is unsanitary and disrespectful. It should be treated as a serious offense with heavy penalties.\n\n\n\nImplementing such basic civic guidelines ? can significantly enhance our societal standards. Only after addressing these issues can we expect improvements in global perceptions and rankings.

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.

Indians and Chinese, both have the same issues. Rich Asians can’t behave when they are overseas. They think that with money, they can behave however they want. They’re got rich so quick that wealth can’t keep up with class and grace. The poor who can’t behave, they can’t afford to travel so they are non issue. It is the ones with money that are embarrassing their county men and women!

These travellers / vacationers (not all) are a disgrace to our country, more so the so called students / those who come here and work. They are filthy, lack basic social culture & lack manners. We are all categorized accordingly . I keep my distance & don’t respond to them. Hope this elucidates the issue. Having an IIT degree ??

May be our passport is too strong now so that they r scared to issue visa... what the Indian godhi media wont tell you about our passport ranking .... they might say its a masterstroke by Modi not letting aindians to work abroad ... they wont say its a weak indian passport getting these rejections

Palki purposely chose to omit the fact that 99% of Indians apply for visa to the west with the intention of never returning back to their country. That’s why most countries are sceptical when it comes to issuing visa for Indian passport holders.
