not international students...IT IS ONLY INDIA STUDENTS..

At least with a ponzi scheme the early adopters actually get paid so long as the scam keeps going. For these students, every subsequent graduating year of revolving door international student diploma mills, their degrees or diploma's devalue as thousands more pile in and strain our infrastructure causing everything else to become more expensive. It's only sustainable now because the number of marks keeps increasing as poorer nations populations explode as they develop their economies. Eventually, the winds will change and the foreign opinion of canada and it's education system will fall and they will look elsewhere and these schools won't be able to survive.

Universities have lost all credibility. Why feed anything into a system designed to help proliferate wars and genocides abroad while increasing surveilance domestically and suppressing dissent from conscionable youth through militarized force? The system is cooked... bring in international students to financially support our failing insitutions, then put unreasonable limits on how many hours they can work. Who can survive this way and who would want to perpetuate a system designed against them?

What an entitlement, i was an international student in the us my visa expired i left without any complaints and this is what we have now.

These colleges brought in international students on made up courses and made billions. However, all these students staying back caused housing crisis and unemployment to Canadians.

Would be sustainable if it drops another 90%…since last year nearly a million international students were allowed in. 500k is still too high a figure.

Why canada taking workers from outside because skilled workforce are not sufficient to run the businesses at canada. In between May 2024 to Dec 24 nearly 536505 work permits are set to expire who were invited to work under INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY PROGRAM. 70000 temporary permits of students also expired . If government is strict and the businesses of Canada not required these workforces then why they are not deported from canada. Only in sept 24 ,86000 work permits under international mobility program will be expired . After complaint of businesses of pnp provinces expired work permits are now going to be extended. To control emigration government should act strictly. Easy pr for Asylum seekers and refugess are the reasons for this crisis at canada.

This is appalling. This is not the international studentship I know. When I was in university at York, interns students were very wealthy and from rich families and could easily afford tuition.\nThe Indians going and lying to their people and recruiting them in mass to come to Canada should face justice.\nCanada doesn’t need Indians from Indian villages flooding the streets to make money.

The government got greedy and are getting a kick back from all the universities and colleges for letting in so many of them to enroll in these bogus schools. The government also knows they can benefit from all of the money these international students are bringing in. The international students are a cash cow for the government.

Give them some extensions or deport everyone.\n Dont give extensions to some and deport rest.\n But as Canadian Government dont fund universities so Universities have to earn their own funds from International Students which will only happen if PRs are given.

Isn't this CLEAR EVIDENCE that a significant number of international students only come for work and immigration and not for education? I'm not saying they are doing anything wrong; people will do whatever based on the incentives available to them. Work and an eventual Canadian passport are just too good a deal to pass up for many international students.

Apparently the government is addicted to having foreigners finance the education system, which in turn means the international students who pay the highest tuition will receive a free work permit and eventually PR card as part of the deal.

I guess the fees for domestic students will go up to make up the drop of international students enrollment.

Jeez we even have Indian international students protesting about failed grades at colleges/universities. Unbelievable

So it is true that PM & Immigration Minister Listen to school owners when they implement policies for International Students. \nImagine more than $7k for Canadian & $56 k for International are students considered as abuse by the schools for the International students .

Put a hold on any new international student applications for 5 years and then re-evaluate. It's good for all parties involved both the students and the Canadians.

International students are not the problem. Lack of housing supply is the problem. Due to zoning regulation. Stop blaming foreign students. Blame NIMBYs instead!

International students are probably willing to pay that much because graduating from a Canadian university is a pathway for them to immigrate to what they still perceive as a great country. But sooner or later, the information that Canada has been turned into a basket case will filter back to their home countries.

international students come to Canada to work not to study, they know that they are spending these much money to gain work status in Canada and not to study! that's their fault!\nGovernment should funds education/school in our country for our children the future citizens of this country and not illegals status that comes in to Canada and should NOT send money abroad, like what Trudeau is doing his funding billions of Canadian tax payer money in other country!

I would require all educational institutions to provide housing for international student (at least 50%). If they have only 16 000 beds for international student combined - the cap would be 32 000 international students.

I think the title should say 45% reduction in Indian students NOT international students

We don't have to pay for international students.

My alma mater has already been move aggressively asking for donations for students. The reality is only 3 options either governments make up the difference in cost, or International students make up the difference in cost, or the tutions of domestic students will start to increase to that of USA, in which they pay 3x the amount we pay here currently.

What a mess these shortsighted politicians have created with flooding international students to our greedy diploma mills colleges.?

it's because what was once referred to as an international student is now a Permanent Canadian Citizen... The numbers don't add up lol trust me we got exactly the same if not MORE now..

What is with international students that go to Canada and USA. Think just because they get a student visa. They think its a permanent residency and path to citizenship. Or they have a right to work. No its not its a student visa. Only for school\n Your suppose to go home and use your education to your country. But no you guys keep pushing and protesting like its your right. USA SHOULD HAVE LAW FOR THIS TOO.

Nothing is going to happen.... next year federal elections coming..they wanna listen to citizens ..where the vote counts...they dont care about international students nor foreign workers..sorry

Remove the license for international students to work. Their stay in Canada will depend on their entry visa. For example, you have visitor visa, your privileges in Canada is based on term limit of visitation and cannot be change to any status like refugee or family reunification.

They should not build their operating model based on international students

Firstly your country has a very stupid policy on international students. All most all of them come there for economic reasons. They enroll in stupid courses which in any case will not contribute to your country. Why can’t you have a system where their attendance in classrooms is kept a track of and any one having less than say 75% is warned and after three warnings sent home. Once they successfully complete their course, they are given six months to stay and then sent back. Keep only the ones who can be of asset to Canada. Else your country will soon become another country like the UK is now.

they are not international students, they are indian student who wants to exploit the system.

Lots of refugees in influx of fake international student applying for IS der pathway to become Permanent in canada

I think they are simply confused. This guy calls himself an immigrant. He isn't. He is an international student with a temporary permit to stay and possibly work in Canada for a very specific time with no immigrant status. He is not here to stay.

International Student is easiest way to nter canada their purpose to work not really to study wise people

So many homeless people, maybe we don't need 1,000,000 international students

Imagine driving a truck full time as an international student .

Not international students ... Just freaking indian students

Is too bad!!. The New international student should not come to CANADA any more. Is not the best idea. Is over, is over. Don't come , stay in India and help your Country ECON. That's it. !!

Call them Indian students instead of international students. Genuine international students don’t do this.

Meanwhile Canadians lose 1000s a month to exorbitant rental prices caused by the huge number of international students, foreign workers and immigrants.

This is ridiculous.. are there only Indian international students who are affected? How come other nationalities don’t cause any ruckus like this? And now you know what happens if you let them stay and give them a PR, imagine they becoming citizens and causing riots as and when things don’t go their way.. they’ve shown you what they really are.. they’re making it difficult for other immigrants too.. some of them live quietly and peaceably and these clowns are destroying it for everyone..

Canada have a lots of international students, But why only Indians are protesting ?

All these countries are charging a bomb from international students to provide subsidised education to the localities children, they arent doing a charity

How do you bring in all these students knowing it will create rental issues. This Trudeau government is unbelievable. Internationally destroying Canada.

What taxes do they pay? Income tax? If they are international students, they should be coming here with enough money to support themselves while in school, not take jobs from Canadians. Go back to where you came from and leave us in peace. Stop trying to get something for nothing.

International student and temporary Worker they fool Canadian government

International student they are not coming for a study they come to stay in Canada ,they fool government that what they do to entering the country

I hate international students!!!

They ruin it for other international students

Reporter should first do a basic background research on international students PGWP program before blaming them. Why they have the points system for students to apply for PR if they were ment to study and leave. If students knew that they would have to leave after studies then they wouldn’t even come to canada in the first place
