Americans choked in unison on your words, 30%. Are you joking? I don’t think anyone in America who’s not a part of the one percent pays less than 50 or 60% of their income towards housing. That’s the best case scenario most people are paying closer to 70 to 80%.

I'm a Finn living in Paraguay. My husband and I lived in Germany for eleven years until we moved to Paraguay two years ago. Life is good even though financially it's different than in Germany. However, we have built a house, we have some land, two dogs, a cat, and some chickens. We have a car and food. It's more than I ever dreamed of. We strongly feel that we have a future and it's lovely.\n\nOne thing one must keep in mind: part of your first home country and your past will always be in you. That creates a process of mourning you have to go through. And the longer you are away the greater becomes the difference between you and your own country because you both are changing but to the different directions. You realize that there's no going back. This is what I'm processing at the moment. I know it takes its time and one day it will be completely fine.\nI wish you all the best for your life.

They need go back home make life better their i we don’t owe u we worked hard for our money handing it out was not part of my plan give away my tax $$& for illegals

It's time to make these southern countries a part of the United States.

I do feel bad for the emotional pain that families will feel with the inevitable fall out from deportations. A necessary part of the situation created by the illegal immigrant themselves.

Because of the Tariff ..Canada is actually knew the Problem and now it is clear they are part of the Problem..we love Trump

Canada should play our part to secure the boarder for the safty of North American region.

The worst part is the trudeau government can't account for over half of the illegals they let in and have no idea where they are or who they are!!! And hes allowing them to vote !!

Range of responses here is just astonishing. The basic fact is that no one gives a shit about Indians especially Western countries. They'll stay racist as long as it suits them. And the thing about indians misbehaving, that is just contextual. That's not part of the larger problem. Larger problem is the government itself-if it cares enough for its people then it needs to do right by them.

Just what Canada needs, America's rejects.this is another reason for Canada to become part of america.we don't have to put up with these rejects. .

I'm from El Paso as well but left after serving in the Air Force and graduating from college. The sad part about this reality happening there is the citizens there who actually deny this is occurring

India fell into today 's state, Palki is part of it in promoting misguided nationalism.

Why would I want to go to Canada, from what I've heard Canada is in a very dire situation with everything. Their socialized medicine is not working, nothing is working in Canada. They might as well be part of the United States

Europeans colonized other parts of the globe as a technologically more advanced civilization. Gun beats spear. Nowadays, it's largely uneducated single men from benighted cultures who wish to come to the West, bringing with them misogynistic views, and, in many cases, a warped world view thanks to their dangerous religious beliefs. Enoch Powel was right.

From outside of the US, we can only watch as their current government is committed to the Nazification of America. Without any societal mechanisms to hold Trump and his community of miscreants accountable, this downward spiralling phenomenon may embolden equally as unfit for their roles in public office far-right parties in other parts of the world to do the same. I hope that there is time to stop this.

The 14th Amendment was written for former American slaves as part of Reconstruction. It was NOT written for foreign nationals. It is being misused It is time for a REINTERPRETATION.

It’s time for OUR CANADIAN CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN to be able get full time or part time jobs if they want to, to lift up their moral, trust in our system and prosperity!

Finally, High School students can get a part time job now in our City . A lot of International visa student holder are actually not studying .... why i know because we don't have a Universities or colleges in our small city and all of a sudden BOOOMMMM they are everywhere like a wild weeds .

The funniest part is that we need to protect our border from the USA because they are the one bringing illegal weapons and drugs

Poor immigration lawyers, their business model is changing (they are part of our problem). Canada can not save the world and sacrifice ourselves in the process. Glad to hear AI solutions are helping with the process - we are a mess!

1/2 the population works, the youth can't move up economically, it promotes gig, contract, temporary, part-time, no benefits and the long term result is economic instability and citizens here can't afford to have families, have a life. . . People who work and live here and have their finances here, don't benefit the same way. They invited 1.2 million in one year alone and are backlogged over a year. What was this crazy government thinking? Projection is that 1/2 million people will be 'un' documented next year? And out of the 16-17 mi full-time jobs, probably less than half paying a living wage in 'Canada.' It's beyond stupidity, completely incomprehensible what our government has done. Pay Canadians full-time with proper benefits. The Canadian government sets a low benchmark for Canadians 'here.' and just keeps lowering it, not to mention, cash, bribes, kickbacks, and a blackmarket will emerge. They don't know what they're doing.

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.

As Canadians we should all do our part and report refuse and return all illegals

We are sick and tired of this. As a result of the illegal immigration situation this country is a nightmare. We are footing the bills. I feel sorry for them somewhat, but they are passing over Mexico which is a nice place to come here for free set aside. That part angers me

Cut America's power! Ontario is responsible for providing a huge part of American power..cut it off! The tariffs will take effect in less then 2 weeks, leave Americans in the dark and cold

???My heart is with the immigrants. I am also an immigrant since here in 1991 I was also running away from violence and from the fact that in Mexico in the 70s, 80s and 90s they were killing homosexuals who could not be in the closet like others who could hide their homosexuality. I was able to immigrate because I had a lot of courage, a lot of fear and most of all, helplessness against the country that gave me life, Mexico, where society and presidents always had some double standards, it is unheard of. I owe my life, my dignity and my prosperity to this country, the United States of America. Of course I have not stopped working since I arrived. I am not a rich person but I am an American citizen. I have managed to be part of this beautiful nation, but we cannot demand that this nation give us something where our own country was denied us dignity, to be treated as first class citizens like us in my country and we could not be given that. But well, I hope that these immigrants find the light very soon and that they talk about how badly their own country is treating them, that they say what is happening. Because that is what they should fine or do something so that their own country's government gives them a better life!???

It always shocks me when these people don’t even know that Mexico is BOT part of Central America, aren’t they supposed to know their facts ?

What is methodology in a research ? What is methodology in example ? What are the 5 steps of methodology ? What are the 5 parts of methodology ????????

They were informed/warned way ahead of time, so it should not be a surprise to anyone! The majority of the American citizens voted for Trump partly because they want him to fix the migration problems that developed during the Biden-Harris leadership! It's time for the border crisis to end!

India as a highly populated country which is a huge unorganised mess in every aspect...and the worst part is the developed nations are aware of this. Now use your common sense to understand why the visa rejections.

So end of the day, you still think you are part of the west gang?

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.

Just stop ur Nationalist jingo and look inward, you just paint as if India really does not have any problems, our passport ranking is based on robust diplomatic relations, economic stability, and active participation in international agreements, just because we are 5 largest economy it does not mean we are doing good..be true in your journalism and stop being part of the Godi media !!!

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

You didn't give the reason why Indian visas are rejected. I watched till the end Is there a part 2?

About pregnant lady: first off, Canadians get one year leave to have a child, not the few weeks Americans get.Then there’s the health care for both mother and child…it goes on. Part of the ‘social safety net’ that you had trouble identifying. And $10 a day day care…

If one Indian migrate to a country mean that part of the country became an India.Thats call made in India and thats what Mahathma Gandhi thought right??

Here in the USA, We are fortunate to have many Indian neighbors.\nThe sad part is that 99% of them don't even try to be nice neighbors. \nI love and respect the Wonderful Indian culture, and I wish they could be a little more friendly and respectful of other cultures as well. ?

Starting to feel Palki is biased towards India than being an honest journalist. Did you even bother to check why Indian visas are getting rejected in these countries? What the rejection reasons were? \n\nAs many have already commented, I will put across a list for Palki -\n\n1. Indians are Indians even outside India, well, what good are you if you do not wish to be integrated and become part of the society? \n2. Do not like to research, and instead ask questions to save time which is bad manners.\n3. Complaining is in our blood about everything.\n4. Be respectful and be considerate of others.\n5. If you are applying for a tourist visa, be a tourist and should return when the visa expires. Get a good insurance which most of the time people are not un-aware.\n6. If you apply for student visa, be a student and do not exploit the visa or violate any rules and extend your visa stay.\n7. If you are hired for work, honour the work permit rules.\n8. Last but not the least, be a good citizena and don't do anything which may spoil your countries' image.

OMG, so glad I don't live in Canada. Why would they NOT want to become part of the USA?

For Schengen visa, besides submitting all documents our parent's visa was rejected. I doubt it is a money making process for them. And I wonder why didn't they refund the money (at least some part)they received as fees since it is rejected and no forum for us to question this..

This video documents verbal/emotional abuse. Jesus wasn’t a Christian or a Jew, he was free. That’s what all the original fuss was about, before what he said was “organised” into a religion .. a belief system \n\nDitto Buddha .. he wasn’t a Buddhist or a Hindu (or whatever the possibly ossified system of belief was called at the time he lived ) he was free. \n\n“The truth will set you free” \n\nOrganised religion isn’t first hand mystical insight. It’s spirituality distorted into a political, population controlling parody. Look no further than the abuse scandals rife within the main Christian denomination (Further evidence for the hypocrisy .. every religion has sometime warring sects . Go figure) \n\nI repeat Jesus wasn’t a Christian or a Jew .. he was free.\nCosmic consciousness was an actuality to him … ditto Buddha, their message/pointers to “truth” .. are often violently distorted for religious/political/population control ends. \n\nMystic - Someone who experiences Universe as self .. and not conceptually but actually. Self .. is the point of view body mediated awareness, not to be confused with the ego .. our lifetime of conditioning which we identify with as “who we are”. Consciousness/awareness is our true nature. Free unbounded. \n\nTranscendence of the ego is part of the process of “enlightenment” prevalent in what’s known as “The perennial philosophy” \n\nPhilosophy - The love of truth/wisdom\n\nWhat is the main message relevant to the search for what is true and incorruptible in life. — “ BE A LIGHT TO ONESELF” ?

FLAWED ANALYSIS:.. .@3:47 flawed thinking that u can use economic leverage ... US is jacking import tarrifs ... ur rupee is falling as u have seen is cuz of that ... cuz US is going to start making and growing in house (2) india's general habit of bad mouthing around has fallen it on itself like karma ... west has realized that this particular nation is always found spewing twisted lies... all the time... (3) west has realized india does NOT have talent .. it never had talent ... west was just giving u chance cuz of non-Muslim IT region ... Pak has JF17 avionics the toughest part done inhouse and many other projects where ur talent is not just only sinking own submarines, helicopters, drones but other nations' too ... again u NEVER were talented u were given chance just cuz western rhetoric with China, Pak constituting the IT power hub ... (4) Bangladesh has also freed itself from ur poisonous propaganda .. (u lie... before 1971 it was korean war had most POWs taken after WW2 ... and its not big deal all such wars freed or traded with one thing or other)..

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.

I worked in India for 6 years and then shifted abroad for a Masters, and now I am pursuing a fully funded PhD. In the UK, what I have observed is that the crop of students arriving from India are by the day lesser inclined towards studies and more in pursuit of the quick buck. Yes, getting a ‘UK based work experience’ is necessary to build the edge to compete against the wider international students post graduation and I have myself worked part-time in profiles which complimented my course in parallel to prioritising studies. However, the increasing trend amongst the masses (I do not want to generalise but yes this is unfortunately true and especially from certain states, the case is magnified: Read Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana) remains getting that student visa to earn quick buck to support themselves financially, chiefly, save up to dole out to so called ‘assignment writers’ which helps them pass the course to further graduate and transfer to a grad visa (again comes at a cost) which allows them 2 years worth of stay with no working hour stipulation post graduation. Thereon, work full time in laborious jobs with again not focussing on applying to full time opportunities in the field of study. Thus, what remains at the end of the day is lost time and opportunity and since I am only talking of people who come here on a Student VISA so primarily, the opportunity cost lost to upskill and further horizons. For the country’s perspective, getting cheap, skilled labour for an unskilled job is obviously an advantage but then there are cases of students not respecting their working hour restrictions, vandalising, bickering loudly, joining hands with the already operating extremist forces which instigate violence and hatred etc. In all, I think the resistance to not becoming bicultural which is a product of serious mental and physical toil and wasting time in frivolity is the main cause of the anti-immigration wave.

Uber rich India prefer going to UAE, Jordan and Western part of the world since cheaper destination are not seem to fit their high standard but if visa hard why not change to South East Asia or East Asia to travel.

No one should be surprised. Just visit any part of Ontario to figure out.
