Get in line. I waited mine for ten years and spent a lot of money for lawyers. I did it right the right way.

You guys gate kept the jobs from Canadians, rejecting our applications and pay us unliveable wage, then cry that you dont have enough workers, only to go get foreign workers to replace us.Then cry about crime rates and the housing market. Canadians want to work!!, we have been working for many winters now!!, but you guys keep preventing us from working because you want cheap labour. cheap labour comes with a lot more economic issues than hiring citizens. Our concerns were ignored and we were called lazy...to the point where someone like DONALD TRUMP is laughing at us and calling us a state. lining your pockets wasn't enough, now our integrity as a country is being questioned. If Trump made us a state, I would NOT be surprised.

Let’s be honest.Another reason is the unbelievable amount of illegals from India. Look no further than in Canada. They came and stay. Also, Western countries are getting pissed off by a wave of immigrants who won’t adapt to our culture or way of living. Very few places are so welcoming than the west but a lot of people has abused the system.

3,300 only represents 20%? That's a s**t ton of people working for the government's immigration department. Does the government really need 16,500 employees just to process immigration applications? Sounds like a whole lot of bloat to me. Well... that's the government for you.

Canada have the habit of listening to citizens of other countries, especially from Africa who lie and accuse their home government of a lot of BS, just to seek asylum and you let them in.\n\nMost time your government do not bother to verify asylum seekers stories. \nMany are mostly wanted in their home countries for one crime or the other.

Canada is a poor country , India has 7% growth economic per year for 17 837 billions dollars american and in 2035 for 25 0000 billions , white Canadian who has racism on indian canadian DON'T GO IN INDIA AT INDO ARYANS , you will have a lot of problems ???

I see lots of Indians are becoming tourist in the Philippines. #TravelPhilippines #PhilippineDepartmentOfTourism

Please do not be too discouraged with the world, a lot of changes were caused by election of leaders disconnected with needs of its citizens. You have the personality to be capable of living anywhere, and seeing other cultures-it seems your business skills and determination will lead you to success wherever you choose to live. I am a citizen of the USA and there are many things of my Country that upset me and make for at times disgust and a sense of unhappiness! However, your home (Canada) may with changes in your Parliment and Prime Minister, and /or Province leaders be the home that warms your heart and soul. Have you considered being a political leader in your home (Canada) as you seem to possess a sense of wisdom and how to implement positive change(s). I wish you much continued success in your business endeavors and a sense of belonging and happiness wherever you go….!

I was in the Missouri when i got sick. I drove home and was diagnosed with a brainstem tumour. 10 hr surgery, 4 surgerical teams, icu, wks hospitalization. Months of rehab and homecare. The school even arranged a cab to take my 5 yr old to school. I have seen bills for pts who didn't make it home and had to have surgery in the US before being repatriated back to the icu i worked. It was an eye opener to see what they were charged for a box of kleenex, a catheter, an iv bag etc. I would have lost everything if i had to have surgery in the US. \nMy sister is currently in hosp in the US, and she is getting good care. I drove down last time she was in, and i was impressed by the lovely large CCU bay, but, hey patients are paying for it. She had a fancy postop CABG pillow to splint her chest when she had to coughed. It had a cute surgical heart on it. I am sure it cost $$. In Canada, we give our pts a regular pillow, some iv morphine and tlc when it hurts when they cough, no fancy cartoon pillow, but no bill either lol. She's a senior on medicaid so she's not going into massive debt or dying in her home to avoid going to the hospital.\n \nI have been travelling to the states since 1976 as a young child. I love the states, I have a lot of family there. My dad lived there until his death. My great grandma immigrated and died in Montana. I have never had a negative experience there in over 49 yrs, other than the old lady backed into my parked suv in the hobby lobby lol parking lot l\n\nA big plus in Canada, is paid Maternity/ paternity leaves and also caregiver leave. Your mom has a stroke or child has cancer you can take time off work to care for them with partial pay and not worry about losing your job

Governments making money from taking money from immigrants via their visa fees and school fees.\n\nGranted, these western countries need people who will take up the jobs their people won't do, etc, but their infrastructure and system is not designed to cope with the volume of people they are simply taking money from.\n\nNaturally, many of these immigrants will also put a strain on the welfare system. Where will the government get the money from?\n\nSomebody in the higher echelons is making a lot of money from the misery of others.

I think all the reporters and democrats can help them thake them in their household they promise them a lot of dreams they maid lots of money with the illegally not the people's money to be used.

Not as strained as it would be funding free healthcare, humanitarian care and hotels for hundreds of millions. I think Mexico will suffer a lot more than the US will

No one invited them . Lot company sponsor work visa

This is absolutely ridiculous!! It is not a RIGHT to come into our country. It is something that legal immigrants spend months to years and a lot of personal money to do. Just like most of our ancestors. We have lost a family member and a friend to fentanyl. I support closing the borders and deportations after that clown of a job the Biden admin has done these past four years. Our country has never been weaker than one day ago. So grateful we finally have a president that is pro-America. That is how it SHOULD be. If a country’s leaders aren’t doing their job to follow the governments laws and they aren’t making their own country safe for their citizens that is on them. Not the USA to allow anyone and everyone in. Crime is rampant. Drugs are flowing across the border. This is needed and you are manipulating truth.

Certainly the American people want to help all legal immigrants. \nBut the Gulf of America has a lot of problems, the Mexican Drug Cartel, and Human Trafficking along the Borders. \nThe Arctic Storms currently sweep the \nGulf of America. \nMexico is a warmer climate for people without homes. \nThe U.S. must rid our cities of Terrorists that have entered the U.S. under the Biden Administration. \nNearly 13 million unvetted Aliens have entered the U.S. \nWhen these Terrorists have been sent back to their countries of origin. \nThen we can allow good honest hardworking legal immigrants to once again enter the greatest nation on earth.

This woman spouts a lot of bs.

I think there is a lot of good Indian immigrants in UK. They work hard and are decent people who integrate well.

Because they live 10 people in appartement , and even they make a lot money, they don't spend nothing to help economy ????

Maam u need to do a better research..Why is Indian passport weak? Beacuse a lot of Indians try to move to other countries illegally for seeking employment...they are also at times involved in other illegal works...All this impacts the value of a passport

?????. Your blind nationalism won’t help . Again news without research. North Indians have contributed a lot to Indians reputation in and outside the country. This is one of them. \nBla bla bla channel.

One addition to the reason is also there are a lot of fraud documents and applications from India resulting in more stringent scrutiny.

Well india now has more than 1 billion middle class people looking to travel abroad. Lots of countries cannot handle the sheer number of indian tourists. India gets more than 70% of the usa H1B Visas so it's already getting most of the world's Visas. Maybe Indians should stay home and support states like Goa that are suffering from a lack of tourists

You think it's bad in Canada. New Zealand is a lot smaller then Canada, and so the Indians stand out even more, just look at all our fast food restaurants, service stations, corner stores every business you can think of they own it. NZ some days looks like India. We have a lot of tourists who get mad because they come here to NZers, but instead see indians

You use a US VISA picture as rejection but ?? don’t forget CANADA. Of course cause anyone or whoever now travel also lots of money laundering. Loads of kids staying back and opening control addresses for scam centres ? so a lot of rejection are a certain age group . Definitely not families and job offer seekers

Firstpost is the most Nationalistic channel right now in the nation, that's why you will see every single Anti National in the comments...and a lot of bots.

Yes, India is on the rise. Yes Indians are earning more and have more money to travel. To the world India still has a lot of poor; 266 million individuals without access to toilet facilities. Why is this happening in 2025? Nationals coming from such countries have a difficult time convincing that they will not overstay here in the US and other developed countries.

Don’t you think every country Indians are going they are like storming to that country and talking over local jobs of that country’s locals. India is now largest country with population and every Indian want to go to Europe or America. Look what happened to Canada it’s economy is collapsing just now coz there are lot of Indians are there, Taranto is now called mini Punjab.

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

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

Lots of local opportunities in UP as kumbh mela is coming up.

You’re forgetting a lot of the fraud coming under fraud

Lots of west Indian islands and some south american countries are very friendly to Indians. Example: trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, Guadeloupe. Also pacific islands.\nHowever, Indians are flocking to us, UK, use, shengan?????\nChoose friendly countries

Lot of illegal Indian in US, CANADA, MIDDLEAST and other countries.

Promote domestic tourism for those who wish to travel.India itself is a small world.for sandy beaches and coral reefs go to lakshadweep or Andaman, for snow kashmir, himachal, Sikkim, mountains forest north east, kerala etc.desserts rajasthan, katch etc.We have lot of things to be explored in india, then why choose other places

Is this not the same lady that said when the immigration officer looks at Indian passport. They look at the passport holder with a lot of respect

Because lot of indians do scams online jobs and make fraud document

Indians have no respect for their host country and are involved in lots of crime. They bring their local politics and religion and make a mess about it here in Canada. I also think their mindset is very parochial. For example, you hear some Indians saying they are taking over Canada and behaving arrogantly. The Chinese don't behave in that manner despite the fact they have a huge population. Indian so-called talent is just a farce, It's all about cheap labour. Expect more countries to kick Indians out and put in place stringent visa policies.

What I pay in taxes every year is a lot less than what health insurance in the US would cost for my family

10 years ago vishwa guru ji said americans will line up for Indian visa and there were a lot of claps in that aap ki adalat. Now we are crying for high rejection rate. Rejection rate is good for India, foreigon exchange is saved along with loudness and unclean habits.

How many Americans go to India to work? A wicked caste system still enforced. Why would American Software engineers travel to work for an IT or software company? Plus, India has a lot abject poverty.

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

While you're talking about Alberta, we can see (13m24-13m33) a shot of Montreal (see the Mount Royal sign) while you're not finished talking about Alberta?\n(@13m42) Is crime rate 46% above the national average, or are you saying that it is 46%, which is above the average by some undisclosed amount ? 46% more is a hell of a lot !

For almost one year qatar has been rejecting Indian Hindu visas but still we don't know the reason behind.. it is being rejected from the security department of qatar unofficially.\nNo one is looking after that many people are suffering a lot because of this.. god please help us.

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

The process for Visa and the backup documents is pretty transparent and available at the country's or VFS website. I have been travelling to Europe and my visa has not been rejected. But I still do see a lot of people not understanding the process, documentation required. The documentation is usually about proof of stay, proof of travel and proof of financial strength. Please do not talk about the 5th largest economy. We are 143rd in GDP per capita. Among the illegal immigrants into USA India ranks third, to the UK it ranks 9th and is a significant number into the EU. With immigration a hot topic in the west today, this was inevitable.

Lots of phone scammers have already got the Green card in the USA. Scammers were given student visa by carriers and they work as couriers. Stealing from poor people.\nIn UK ALL of scam calls I am getting are from Kolkata. They steal poor pensioners without any heart. Heartless and cruel. Indian students miss behave, laugh and talk louder on the high streets, drop waste on the street. Truthfulness, kind heartless should be part of education system. Also there's no place for bribe in these countries. In India rich parents show their kids how to get around by bribery.\n\nEducated and intelligent Indian scammers are a world known issue.

First Indian Media needs to change a lot. It need to start from Firstpost

It's very contradicting to hear that Hindus are the most law-abiding citizens, highly educated, good jobs, helping in their society. And now, I am wondering who these Nepotism ones are using Indian passports and from where the negative accusations are from. Who are the culprits in these cases, and don't forget there is also lots of hate created toward Hindus, their way of life, temples, being headans, not belonging to the abrahamic majority in any of those countries.\nMy sincere advice, don't visit abrahamic countries at all. They have broken, severed, you from your own culture, taught you to be like them, yet they all refuse you like you should not exist, not someone or something like them. Why doesn't anyone just wise up and stay in their own habitat? By the way, so you know, Shiva Ji himself if anyone has read the bhavishya purana, said to us to avoid going in such countries or be with those barbaric asurs and mleccha. But, if you've forgotten those roots, it's only understandable you want to feel belonging within those who despise you already in one or many ways. Like Shrimati Palki said, go only to those few countries for the time being. In the meantime, take very good care of those you love and learn how to protect them in a world that is very hostile against all Hindus, Sanatani's.
