If your hopes for the future are sneaking into another country instead or trying to fix your own country, then don't be surprised if Americans say no.

What do the Chinese immigrants have to say about this??

I wonder what the women of america are gonna say when the immigrants are gone and grapes, murder, child sa keep happening?

So the argument is if someone jumps the fence and pitches a tent in your front yard, you should welcome them with milk and cookies? What does that say about the legal immigrants who have to go through a stringent process ?.. why do we even need visa ?

Some days back you were flouting indian passport in England, now you are saying no one is letting you in ??

Where is the 5th estate when Canadians travel 1-2 hours, on transit to get to class...or have 1 or 2 jobs to pay for their education because asking or expecting their parents to pay is simply not an option and also doing their own due dilligance before jumping in with both feet??? \n\nI say its a shame their so gullible but whining about it won't change things...chalk it up to lessons learned and good luck to you when leave....

Wait a minute! A women looking exactly like you was saying that Indians proudly flaunt their passport everywhere they go. I think it was at some Oxford Union. I'm forgetting her name but her statements were truly motivating.

There is an unwritten rule that visa applications from countries below $10,000 per capita GDP will be heavily scrutinized. It is unfortunate that countries first encourage Indians to apply for visas only to reject them and earn huge fees in the process. Its a total scam. Also, the description of the video says Indian visas, it should have been Indian visa applications.

Dear Palki Sharma \nMa’am you’re a great presenter and whenever you’re videos come online I love watching them as your reporting style is elegantly presented so your listeners can comprehend what you’re saying.\nI’m a fan of your reporting style.\nCarry on the great work.

Mam wanted to remind you of your earlier quote saying after Modi in power Indians are now being respected world wide ... What happened to that esteemed pride that we have been empowered with .... Would you change your stance now

the likes of Palki and so called other journalist is if something bad happens to Indians the other party is racist but if something bad happens to people in China, Nepal, Bangladesh etc the reason is those countries citizens. They have made millions pandering lies and will continue to do so. Where is herviswaguru and welcome for indians speech in Oxford now.\n\nAs they say you dont have to go to war to destroy a nation but just inbibe in their mind falsehood and they will themselves take the plunge to hell.

Well I was offended about the pot thing. As a Canadian I did NOT know that America's Marijuana comes from us. I thought it came from South America. \nIs it the legalization thing? Those stores didn't really last up here though. No real market for it. But it did make those preppy rich kids stick out like a sore thumb...\nAnd the foreigners certainly pushed those rich white kids RIGHT out of the marketplace. They're all jobless now....with the rest of us who lost their jobs during COVID or the Russian and Israel wars....when those foreigners wanted our jobs. Now we're on permanent no more Nice Canadian Anti-Migration revolt. ITs the tamest world conflict ever. Where are you from? Don't care. We can't discriminate. That would be RACIST. So its No to all.\n\nTotally true about Bieber though. I remember having a conversation with a friend saying 'they can keep him'.

Im tired of people saying we took the land from Mexico.Remember Mexico took it from Spain first.

The reason is that some Indian finds it difficult to integrates.\n\n I know one Indian lady that have lived in one country for over 20 years and the lady cannot speak the language of that country. What a shame! \n\nSecondly, many of them like to dominate or discriminate against other people. It has been alleged that some Indian people discriminate against others in many places they work. For instance! Where their people are in charge in Canada, they will not offer jobs to none Indian. They preferred to give the job to an illegal immigrants from india than to give it to someone else who has complete paper work. \nThe video is on YouTube. \n\nIllegal immigrants from India protest boldly in Canada asking government to give them papers but reserve is the case in India. If an illegal immigrants is found anywhere in India, the name of that person is sorry. Too many foreigners are in India prisons for minor offence or immigration matters. I can go on and and on. \n\nVisa rejection is not a bad thing!!! Everyone must protest his or her own. \n \n\nIf it is possible, everyone should stay in their own country. No movement. Do business with your own people. No international business!!! \n\nOur ancestors survived without others, therefore we can survive too. \n\nI know many people will not like this comment but it is an opinion. \n\nI still like India but will not live there. Good luck to them. \n\n\nIn my view their ascent contributes to numerous visa denials. Let's say 10% . Then 30% is forgery. It has been alleged that some of them do too many documents forgery to get to Canada or whereever they wish to travel.\n Then \n10% is women maltreatment. (stories of rape etc). \n\n Finally, india is very big, they need to use their population as a tool for development. They have all it takes to be like China. 100%\n\nWake up Indian government. Look after your citizens or divide the damn country. It is too big. ?

You know for a few bucks The bikers can help........just saying .....end of story

You deserve it. Your people are always clamouring to settle down in other countries and people are getting tired of you. Look at what is happening in Canada. Canada is filled with your people and nobody has anything nice to say about your people.

After staying in Australia for so many years, I can say that the Australian govt’s policy has changed but due to valid reasons. The visa requirements are getting stringent every year.

Say we do not want them without say ming ‘we do not want them’

Probably because we are all filled up here with Indians. And its not new they have been coming here in mass numbers since the 1980's. Basically exploiting every known benefit America can offer. They basically come over here as indentured servants to some higher up Indian lets say owns a travel agency see the synergy here.

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.

I was raised in Canada and left in 2004.. everyone says it’s way more expensive now

People coming from some of the states in India such as Haryana, Gujrat, Punjab should be banned or scrutinized from traveling abroad, their only purpose to travel is to put refugee in other country and stay in other country illegally. There are many people who don't have proper documentation and also have fake documents, these people affects other genuine people who want to travel. Also the young people who just studied their intermediate or 12th class should also be banned from travel from the above mentioned states to travel abroad for studies. Moreover, People from these states don't know their manners in other country and don't know how to live or stay as per the culture of other country and fail to follow the basic manners and rules. I hate to say it but this is the truth.

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 !

I'm American and I'm constantly told Canada is Better America where everything is perfect. This was interesting to say the least.

She was praising the Indian passport a few months back saying people were flaunting an Indian passport at Heathrow and it's not considered weak.\n\nBas nikal gayi hawa.

It's a stupid report, obviously the visa rejection will be high if the visa applications are high from a most populated country in the world it's basic common sense , i would say India have the highest visa grant these days, I'm from India came to Australia it's not ecen harf if u have the right documents and if you're not faking anything, I'm pretty sure the rejections are mostly because of fake documents especially from Punjab and Haryana so it's good that they are not letting fake people i mean then what's the point of doing all this right way? People like me who try to come in a right way

India is the scam capital of the world sorry to say

PM and Foreign miniter gets red golden carpet and believe common citizens too get the same. Crazy as basics they ignore in much arrogance. Can Govt dare say we not give visa to ones who rejects Indians. ? Need guts for it.

Well were you not the one who said they see indian passport and give respect and say modi ji ka country ???

Modi hai to mumkin hai. Akshay kumar was saying that Indian passport has increased in value.

As an Indian I would say I don't like noisy, cleanless ugly behaviours of Indians in foreign countries.

I actually love this indian talent should stay in India and contribute for our country. Someone will say well pay is not good here there are no jobs here yes but rich indians should open their own companies here and be the job creators and yes government also needs to pay initiatives to these rich people so that they invest in India.

And our govt who loves to haunt middle class with high tax says India's image has improved since Modi's non restricted visits around the globe. If we have become vishwa gurus, why are these countries humiliating an Indian citizen and why there is no value to Indian passport. The PM should talk less and work more. And to be fair Indians have no manners and discipline and can throw garbae and plastics on roads and violate rules hence cannot blame other nation. Here too it is failure of India which has not given priority to education and discipline. These rogues who throw garbage on roads and violate rules must be punished heavily. But populism of govt and useless and dangerous opposition is really hitting India hard.

As a Indian I say indian behaviour is not accepted by fellow indians this is bitter experience with fellow indians

Why indians want to immigrate wen u say india is a syper power?

Palki, I'm a huge admirer of your journalism. Being a proud Indian and living in NZ from a decade I can say it's not just the equality.\nThe amount of frauds we do in our visa application just to enter a foreign land, I can speak on behalf of NZ, makes it difficult for the next batch of applications coming from that region.\nI won't label that with racism because every country has the right to protect its borders. NZ, Aus in particular has a strong and proud Indian diaspora with more and more Indians successfully coming in every year. But we India as a large population has one of the most number of applications which also increases the chancesl of rejection.

Deshbhakt just uploaded a video recently pointing this issue \nAnd how palki was saying otherwise \nNow she pointing out the exact same thing ??

I was not a big admirer of previous govts. work but this govt I can say with utmost believe that our ranking has gone down in major areas like the media, democratic institutions, income inequality, Passport ranking. Corruption. Ye log census tak nahi kara paye batao sare decision 2011 ke base pe lete hai. Fir uper se log ko blind kar diya fake nationalism se ki hum bahut developed ho gaye hai lekin haal wahi fatichar hai ?

I usually agree with everything you say, in this case it’s sadly illegal immigrants and abuse of visas. Come as a tourist or hidden in a truck, work as a take away driver. \n\nMany Indians say dual citizenship leads to dual loyalty, if U.K. or USA open up their country to India. Except the 5% of the rich 95% will emigrate for economic reasons.\n\nOnly solution is for India to grow exponentially with our per capita income rivalling that of the west.

My dear if you know the percentage of visa rejection African countries and some countries are facing every year will stop crying when all this Western country's American benefiting from this country's to not just India i agree with u the government of this country have to say no To the rejection

????You need to know under Thomas Sankara period most of destination Burkinabes used to travel even without Visa. Reason why? Burkina Faso people was considered to be honest and none problematic people. Now 82nd position I must say a huge fall down.

If tourist visas are rejected , then it is saying a lot !

werent you saying that visa officers are now impressed with the Indian passport?

Sorry as a British born Indian I must say this when Indians from the motherland come it pushes down the salary we natives get as big companies pay Indians from India less than natives. It is a massive problem for us local people??????? I am a proud Indian but I am also a proud Brit from my lovely west country, 80s born. We have too much illegal and legal immigration and it is a problem for us natives.

Immigration isn’t as big of a problem as you right wingers say it is

The white people say their country but the truth is they themselves are immigrants all whites are migrants from Europe.

Black activities and then they say blm what a joke

Google says the average cost to have a child (give birth) in the USA is $18,865. This would translate to $27,207.10 CAD at the time I'm writing this comment. Basically, a year of minimum wage take home pay. Very few people would find that amount of money easy to deal with.\n\nIn Canada it's not only free, but the government pays you monthly amounts if your income is less than what they deem enough to provide for them. This amount can be significant and continues until the child is 19.

Yet. You always say that Mexicans are not welcome. I was rejected.\n An educated fella with a degree from Canada. ???

Guy said we are all human. Lady was saying I am Canadian meaning she is not human LOL. Get out of your stupid hole. We are in 21st century silly people.
