As a Canadian citizen, I see that there are 3 major issues at play in this problem - \n\n1) Canadian colleges are starved off funds and do not have a sufficient, stable source of revenue. Hence they seek to attract international students who pay (at least) 4X the fee a Canadian citizen would pay. According to mainstream media such as The Globe and Mail, National Post and others, International students contribute some where between $15 to $18 billion per year in revenue to Canada. This is huge!\n\nSince this is a lucrative revenue stream for them, they have gone overboard and are providing strong financial incentives to education / immigration consultants to bring more international students here. Consequently, many existing as well as new colleges are encashing on this trend and diploma mills have mushroomed in Canada lately. This is ABSOLUTELY Canada’s fault and the accountability of fixing this lies with Canada alone.\n\n2. International students who come here often end up taking humongous debt or selling off their homes/ancestral property to be able to afford their education and hence they feel cheated when the dream they were sold doesn’t match the reality. \n\nHaving said that, International students do need to understand that they are here or a temporary visa and DO NOT get to dictate terms to Canada. It is Canada’s sole prerogative to extend their work visa or not, depending upon Canadians requirements.\n\n3. The Trudeau Liberal government benefits by giving these students extended work permits and a pathway to citizenship as it translates into votes for them. However this is an atrocious approach to winning elections and puts unnecessary pressure on the system. \n\nCanada needs to streamline this whole student visa process and take stringent action against these fake diploma mills, education and immigration consultants luring foreign students. It damages Canada’s reputation.\n\nLastly, extend the work permits of only those students that meet Canada’s labour standards and requirements and send everyone else back home.

mainly, north indians are messy and insensitive to their hosts, just like western people in asia (but clean and neat though). sure, i can feel for those local canadians, it's their land and culture, they need to protect it. same thing happened to sub-continent, remember colonisation by west! and then not many indians liked it either! there is no moral justification from indians occupying their cities and saying, it's fault of canadian leaders.

All Joe Biden's FAULT.

Inflation is an issue across the world, and it's acutley felt in expensive western countries like Canada, Australia or the UK. This is obvious and not the fault of those countries.

International students are coming to Canada stealing all the entry level jobs that are supposed to be for students that are born here. Its not Canadians fault that Indians were sold fake dreams by their own people. Now a days you see international Indians working every where even in places like Mandarine....

It’s your fault that you allowed them to come to Canada in the first place. It’s still not too late. We have seen in covid era when no body was allowed to come to Canada including international students, there were countless jobs in Canada. Now it’s just the opposite. Stop immigration for the sake of people who are already in Canada ??

But Apply Board's sign is still lighting up at night on Weber St. I wonder whose fault is this?

Its all fault of the government

That’s not Indians fault but whites fault for listening the little hats

As sad as the incident is, I don’t get the hate. The fact that this man acknowledged his fault, pleaded guilty against his lawyers advise shows that he is remorseful and didn’t want to put the families through the nightmare of court. He could have pleaded not guilty and won because there is no way they would have been able to prove the charges, especially after the govt cut down trees that were obstructing road signs, after the collision. Other than the overt racism, don’t people get this.

That's Justin Trudeau's fault. He brought lots of them from India... too much no more money to support.

In all fairness to your comment, on these jobs should be going to Canadians,,, why aren’t “ CANADIANS “ lining up for the jobs then? And who is a Canadian according to you? As I see a lot of the racist are out here commenting. I don’t agree with these students here working ,but who’s fault is it’s. Trudeau and Singh . They can stop this over night but not letting foreign students from working period? They will leave. Why do you think Canada gets workers from Mexico and Jamaica, Colombia every summer to work in the farms! Because “CANADIANS “ don’t want to do to hard work in the heat .for $12 / hour. Why are they Korean temp workers in NFLD working in the fish industry? Because the locals don’t like the smelly work and don’t want to drive to the plants . So try to be a bit more balanced.so the racist don’t all come out with hate.

Canadian Born people in Brampton aren't jobless because there are immigrants. They are jobless because they have no education and there isn't a lot of work out there apparently. Crime isn't related to the Indian population. It is related to no work, no education, living in the streets and doing drugs so once again, to Canadian Born people. But congrats for trying to make us feel like the unemployment, crime rate, etc. are Indians fault! You did a pretty good job at giving us that impression!

His family can eventually go to him, I'm sure. Ehat about the families he destroyed by driving so negligently? He is the one at fault. His feelings dont get any validity.

It's not this man's fault our justice system is broken. He's just a symptom. Broken down regulations and laissez-faire job qualifications and monitoring caused this accident, not malevolent actions by the driver. He served his time and has shown remorse for the accident. He has a right to appeal this judgement as does any permanent resident who faces deportation.

Canadian government is at fault... to this day, it is so easy to obtain a commercial drivers license, and the test can be taken with an automatic welcome to canada!!

Canadian is too kind. If the driver is convicted to be at-fault then he is guilty as charge. At least he is is still breathing and walking while those who passed is not.

I don't believe it is all his fault. \nHe will have to live with the reality for the rest of his life as the lawyer in Prince George who was free under the fact that will have to live wkth it for the rest of his life. What is different in this case?

Hindu/ Indian have come with a definite intention to Canada to take over. They will destroy Canada. Whose fault is it?

There are too many, but it is the government’s fault. In the last couple of years Canada accepted 500k student immigrants, about 250k were from India. The other 250k were from different countries. The Canadian government has made no effort to assimilate them, so they act as if they are India, which stokes resentment from locals. In addition, they practice discriminatory hiring practices – hiring only Indians, when you confront them about it, they say you’re being racist but when in fact they are the ones being racist by hiring only Indians. Stoking more resentment. A lot of their student visas are set to expire, but the Canadian has given them an extension which in turn will give them more points to get their PR cards. Prolonging the current housing shortage. I believe everyone deserves a fair opportunity, but the Canadian government has given preference to a country that is clearly undermining it to a point where they are carrying out assassinations on Canadian soil. The assassins came here on student visas. The current Canadian government is ruining the cultural fabric of this country. Stephen Harper was a great prime minister after all.

It’s ur fault

It's Canada's fault for laying out a legal path from student visas to PR. I was thinking about it but its too cold there

it's always the fault of the immagrents, not the property owners

The situation is not the fault of the students or the Indian students. It's solely the fault of the Canadian government because no Indian student can come to Canada without a student visa. They are accepting so many students only for financial gain. This is a result of corruption. But unfortunately, all the hate will go towards Indian students even when it's the government's fault. Many students have been misled by Canadian colleges, they have invested a significant amount of money and contributed to the Canadian economy, only to find themselves unable to secure employment. As a result, they are left with no choice but to return to India and confront their families and communities. This is a major factor contributing to the high number of students returning to India in unfortunate circumstances even suicide.

I mean i get it if local people have an issue with too many immigrants, but the drug addiction of white canadians is not the immigrants fault.

I’m not anti immigration. But I am anti mass immigration. There’s way too many. At the same time I agree the students are being unfairly blamed. There’s a lot of hate being directed at them. When it’s the fault of the Trudeau government

His mistake was to put that knife out of that t shirt. Its a shame, he must respect his religion and out the knofe inside the t shirt. Obviously he is at fault.

They already did. They try to overthrow in any country they've been let into. Now nobody wants to help them its their own fault

Well, to be clear, this all Justin Trudeau and Sean Fraser's fault. \nBut if we're being honest, this has been going on for years, even before Trudeau.\nTrudeau has just been the worst at handling it.

So white people in Canada are getting poor, drug addicted and homeless and it's the Indian's fault why you can't earn money and keep using drugs? Pathetic. Certainly, a skill issue

PM’s fault

If you don't nip it in the budd, at the end of the day, it is the fault of the Canadian government. They know/ are aware this country is weak, will they stage this is Dubai/Russia/Poland? They would see their asses back on a plane same day to where they came from.

Who in the right mind would come to Canada to study paying so much money in student tuition and not hope to become a citizen? It’s not their fault that they’ve been scammed out of money and now kicked out of the country because of poor administrative decisions. \n\nDual intent (of studying and wanting to stay) is completely legal and worked for decades. I don’t see any issues here. \n\nInstead of criticizing the actions of the government officials of screwing this up in the first place, it’s a shame to see you demonize the poor international students that have been defrauded in the first place.

PEI is a part of Mi'kma'ki but the Indians are getting way ahead of themselves.. Asking for more rights than the Mi'kmaq themselves and the non natives who've got roots there! Its the governments fault for fooling them and everyone else..

I am speaking as an Indian, who lived and worked in Thailand for 2 years, and now will be moving to Europe on a specialist skills visa. Indians as immigrants have been a productive addition to any country worldwide, compared to other nationalities. But the only exception case is in Canada. \n\nThe reality is, in Canada, the majority of immigrants are only from a specific part of India (Punjab), and most of these people are deluded, uneducated and unskilled. You are 100% right, they are not there to upskill or even contribute. I can bet these people have not even lived in big cities in India itself, they come from villages and small towns and have never seen how modern societies or even cities work.\n\nI feel sad for Canadians because most of this is their government's fault. It is the leading example of a failing society, which attracts the most obnoxious group of people from around the world. This is a complete political agenda.\n\nAll being said, even if they pay me I would never come to Canada.

I empathize its not there fault shame on the recruiter scammers. They’re seriously hard workers in a horrible situation that no one should go through

I lived in 9 countries and I lived one of the biggest riots and almost civil war because people go out against the government screaming and complaining.\nBut none of those countries situation is worse than Canada, But people don't do anything, People just swear on social media.\nIt's your fault for not doing anything, government succeeded to make you weak and sensitive as butterfly.

It's not the fault of the student's. They pay a lot to get here and they work in the service jobs that many young Canadians do not want to work in if we even have enough native born Canadians. They are victims of the greed of Post Secondary institutions and the mismanagement of the Trudeau government. Take a look at the open immigration policy for people coming from Iran, Syria and Morocco. Last time I looked Iran was not a friend yet we open the door to these countries. No vetting, no security and no age limit. 70 plus years old coming to Canada on Work Permits. This will affect our healthcare. Indian students paid and worked for their chance to live here. Take a look. Investigate the special programs for different countries in the middle east.

invite the third world in, get third world problems and who's fault is it anyway?

It’s all the liberal governments fault.

Truedaeutupidess fault..

All trudeau fault he welcome whole Punjabi students. Now trudeau should keep them in his own house basement.

Why admit students to diploma courses? Why charge $50,000 to them for shitty courses? Why make education a business? Why make PR a business? \n\nCanadians are not at fault, nor are students, its the government who brought in 1 MM students in a year without any infrastructure or long term plan.

This is not these students fault - they came LEGALLY... they have been gouged by agents, they have been gouged by universities, they have been used as cheap labor.... blame the politicians and corporations behind them 100%... I have no problem with LEGAL immigration, ILLEGALS is where the problems begin and with DUMB policies.

No kidding, Justin, and it’s your fault for allowing it.

I think that the indians coming to Canada are hardworking, and integrate into society, Canadian universities have benefited more from them than they have from Canada, Could there be a cap on number of legal immigrants though? Yeah possibly? but then put a cap across various nationalities as well\nHowever one could Argue That millions of Europeans came to Canada and left the natives in poverty, Also the west which loots resources and stuff and then they have to make their living elsewhere \nAre the migrants peaceful? Yes, do they love Canada? Yes\nYou can argue about the volume of immigrants, but then that's the Immigration and Govts fault to a certain extent

This is are governments fault way to many Indians Justin Trudeau let this happen bent are way of life for other cultures if we were in India we would have to follow there rules

Whose fault is this? People from other countries will go where borders are open. Blame Trudeau and his policies

Indian visa officials are always whimsical. They should have made their visa refusal policy transparent and stop acting like the next USA. Even the USA embassy is more transparent and efficient than any Indian visa office. I strongly believe it's not his personal fault but rather India as a country should change their policies.
