The reality is that most of the Indian immigrants and students are not genuine and are fraud cases. They went to Canada as temporary workers, international students, and visitors... \nAfter their work, studies, or visit visas expire, they are required to leave Canada.\nThey have no right to protest against the law, regulations, and the immigration system.

As FRENCH, I think it is more an issue with policies set by both governments!!! You know you bring students IN and why don’t you build houses and encourage construction???? In France, many students (mainly Africa, and French departments like Guadeloupe, Tahiti or Martinique) come to study there (for free and we are proud of it!!!) BUT - unlike Canada - we do NOT have the same issues as Canada (our healthcare is NOT under pressure and our housing prices haven’t really increased that much as compared to Canada for example!!!) to me, the students are NOT to blame!!! It is the fault of the deciders (at different level) who have FAILED to set the right policies!!!! The schools are also to blame as some (not all) are so obsessed with making profits out of the higher international fees, which by way, subsidize Canadian students!!! So in Canada (not in France or Germany), the money that allows schools to function come from international students who BRING LOTS OF MONEY for the Canadian economy!!!! in France, it is different as the universities are FREE and are fully subsidized by the French government… but yes;) you have to speak French fluently to attend them!!! \nSo dear Canadians, do not blame foreign students thanks to whom your universities thrive and remain existant!!! Without them (namely the Indians too), the Canadian universities will struggle to find money and funding! Remember, the system in France is TOTALLY different!!!!

No drama here,these universities rely to much on international students! Adapt folks to the new reality,stop complaining.

It’s a attack on India not on International students!!!

great news! Now forbid international students working off campus!

Still not low enough. You shouldn't exist as a university in Canada if you cannot subsist by only serving Canadians. International students cannot be your primary business and then you still have the audacity to call yourself a Canadian educational institution.

The situation is more nuanced than just blaming migrants at large. \n\nFirstly, migrants were part of the population that accelerated Canada's economic development. \n\nOne big modern example is the building of the tracks (manual labour) of the Canadian National Railway across the country: much of the physical labour was done by migrants.\n\nAnother example is temporary farm workers that help plant and harvest Canadian crops annually.\n\nIn contrast, there are some migrants that have intentionally taken advantage of opportunities to invest in and monopolize large plots of land development all over Canada in recent decades. Prominently in Vancouver and Toronto.\n\nThis unrestricted monopolization of Canadian land is usually done by the wealthy from other countries. As a result, housing market prices goes up in and around these land development projects that the local population are unable to keep up to afford. And it's the fault of both the federal and provincial governments in just letting these wealthy investors gain a monopoly on Canadian soil and artificially driving up housing market prices.\n\nThe influx of international student visas have only exacerbated this housing crisis because land development investors are now using their new establishments as international student housing for profit while pricing out or simply not catering to the need for housing for the local population.

International students but why is there nothing but Indians???

The problem is that some International students come here to study, but only work to get citizenship. They don't attend any classes and end up failing their courses. These students should not be allowed to stay in Canada

Don’t understand why it was not well planned according to stats and facts. Are the politicians or policy makers that stupid that can’t even comprehend that the massive international students or immigration will become an issue sooner or later.

IMO international students have said to visa interviewing officers that they will return to their country after education is over. Permitted job hours was known before they paid their education fees. I am Indian living legally in US and I would not support illegal protests from anyone who are not permanent residents or Citizens of that country. Canadian citizens have every right to express their discomfort with the international students when they behave in unlawful ways. In 2023, nearly 319,000 Indian students moved to Canada - this is a big figure only for studies.

Why do they call them students? International scammers they mean!

I came in June as a international student to Canada from a south east asian country, I came to Canada hoping to experience social values of a developed nation, but now I feels like I have come to India instead of Canada.. 97% of the classes filled with indians, acting like Indians.. most of them are unable to communicate in english and have no respect to social values. All the international students who comes from other countries have to go through various kinds of discriminations.. In future, I think, the Canadian government should ask for a Panjabi language certificate, instead of the IELTS. Because, english is the least used language in class rooms.

All international students should be send home. Canada should be for Canadians.

Indians are scammers, using loop holes and coming in to Canada as fake international students and getting PR.

We need legitimate international students for cross sharing of knowmwdge. UNFORTUNATELY, Canada is only attracting sub par students.

The government should banned all international students from working at anytime! Real students will always focusing on their education, not working!

All international student should send back.

It also takes away from from Canadians getting into Canadian colleges and universities as the international students get charged higher tuition fees. More money for the universities. Canadian students end up going over seas. I have a few friends whose kids tried getting into medical school here but were refused. They ended up in Australia, in medical school and are living there now as doctors. We could have used them here.

Why do international students only come from one country? Why do most of them expect permanent residency?

less international students, less child/female sexual molestation. Win win

Are international students tired of the out of control Indians in Canada? Who could blame them?

Not just Indians. All international students are also affective. Its just that Indian student dominates the most. They have the largest number of students.

Our Canadian born kids are unable to find jobs because of these Indian international students. Time to send them back when their study finished. Canadians who pay taxes need jobs for themselves and for their kids. Enough is enough.

Stop calling it International Student, there's nothing International about it. Look up the definition.

easy entry into Canada...reducing international students in Montreal will surely free up a bunch of housing within the city core...close the flood gates

The Law states that International Students MUST be DEPORTED if they do not leave within 2 weeks of completing or ceasing their educational programs. Legally Deporting illegal residents is the best thing for everyone.

WHITES ARE CLEVER. THEY INVITE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WARMLY IN THEIR COUNTRY TO JOIN UNIVERSITIES BUT AFTER COLLECTING HUGE MONEY ON THE NAME OF ADMISSION FEE AND TUITION FEE THEN KICK THEM OUT OF THEIR COUNTRIES.

Shouldn't domestic schools focus on educating Canadian students? Post secondary education wages have become bloated off international funds and Canadian students can't afford the debt to go to our own schools anymore.

International students come here to study. Why would they work instead of studying? You should cancel the part-time job policy for international students.

Most, if not all, of the international students, were Middle Eastern and were abusing the system to get visas and eventually permanent residency so that they could send the money they made in Canada back to their country of origin.

Better late than never. This was bound to happen because the Canadian government gave unrestricted entry to these international students. These guys are very talented and highly skilled in organizing protests and equally incompetent as far as education is concerned. The prime objective of these international students was to gain permanent residency through Canadian diploma mills. The authenticity of their transcripts is also questionable. Now, in the fear of getting deported they are organizing protest and playing blame game card. They very well know how falsely they have gained entry and treating them innocent would be another colossal mistake which may lead to serious consequences. For the betterment of future Canadians it is necessary to send them back asap.

Canada is doing human rights violations and must be prosecuted under the international rule of law. All international students protest this and joint complaint @ ICJ.??

In the last 4 years I have been nearly hit by Indian immigrant drivers who do not obey traffic laws in Ontario. I have met drivers driving the wrong way on way streets Indian, Drivers making illegal U turns and nearly hitting me Indian, drivers who change lanes in the middle of intersection Indian, every time my phone rings there is an Indian pretending to be CRA, or Amazon trying to scam money. Every fast food place is staffed by Indians who barely speak English can't be understood and fuck up the order. I have Indian customer ask me to break the law and carry more passengers than there are seat belts in my van I am tired of it I am tired having to compete against international students who come here on student visa's to study at some scam diploma mill college but not go to any classes and drive Uber. I am tired of having to play by the rules and compete with people who say fuck the rules. So don't let the door hit you fuckers on the way out.

ah...pretty sure it's how the international students being treated as slaves and the horror stories posted online are what are doing it.

No more immigration and international student from India, they are already too many here.

I'm an international student in Canada and have been here for almost six months. Unfortunately, I've had a couple of negative experiences where I was taken advantage of by individuals who happened to be Indian. I understand that good and bad people can be found everywhere, but these experiences have made me more cautious when getting services from anyone in the future.

Canadians are for a grim reality once universities begin to close. The provinces should had been funding universities properly instead of allow then to use international students as a money bank

Ok let me tell u. With this drop in the international students, the rent has gone down by 10% this summer which is traditionally a peak season. With this aggressive immigration policy, sellers are selling their properties by 20% discount. Next year, you may see a crash despite interest rates cut cycle is back

To all the Canadian people criticizing International Students, why do your Universities push their agents in India to send pamphlets, posters, brochure and advertisement almost every day back home in India. You guys in your heart know that your universities are run by the money accumulated from the hiked fees of the international students and if they stop coming, all these so called universities and colleges will be shut down.

It not anti indian policy.. international student are not all indian .. there is other country citizen that are also not allow to get work permit as well . let not play the race card now.. indian act like you are alway are special.. when apply for your student visa there were term and condition.. and one of the term is that once your visa expires you must LEAVE the county. You guys are not entile to any rights because you guys are a guest in the country... if you want fair treatment maybe stay in your country and study there because your a indian citizen ... nobody care about how much money you lost .. it was a gamble and you knew the risk and once your visa expiry you must leave.. there is no where in your student visa that states that you will automatic PR once you finish.. also the government of canada has the interst of the canadian citizen FIRST because we been paying tax our whole lives here while you guys only be paying for a year or two and you think u shoukd have all benefit that canadian is entiled too. This is not a race issue ,, the problem yes is the canadian goverment is stupid but also indian greedy mentality so where you guys take advatage of your own people by paying low wages..

Ask any Canadian, we are not interested in all these international students.

Numbers were falling well before govt capped the numbers.\n\nThe numbers were capped to where it had fallen.\n\nIts about to fall more because an education in Canada does not translate into a well paying job to offset the 3x tuition international students spend.

Yeah…no one really cares about international students. Get educated in your own countries.

A significant portion of these international students come to Canada with an undergraduate degrees in their home countries and they are much older than 19 years. It is an extremely unfair competition for the local young students of age 19 or so who are Canadian citizens, when these older international students compete with local Canadian young students of age 19 for summer jobs. Please stop giving summer jobs to these international students just because they have an undergraduate degree from their home countries while a 1st year or 2nd year University students with Canadian citizenship apply for the same jobs. The Canadian citizens who are young students do not deserve this unfair competition.

stop bringing in so many indian international students. Stealing jobs from our youth. Prosecute tim hortons.

I doubt this, the less international students the more opportunity for our own students! Bravo!

“International students” who are not really here for studying, there should be a law that requires them to show their transcripts and attendance sheets in order to actually prove they’re here for education… not just to work full time, bring family over, not follow any of the municipal, provincial, federal laws, etc.

Canada's reputation is no affordable housing for international students or citizens \nCutting the hourly cap per week worked for international students was delayed.\nNo one should work 40 hours and attend university full time being on an international visa.\n\nReality is they can't afford to live here otherwise.\n\nThat woman speaking of our reputation is delusional and ignoring the need to provide before inviting just like those at school fair's across the world.
