Ms. Sharma went to Oxford and gave a cringeworthy performance about the supposed strength of Indian passport and how it is the envy of the word. So. didn't expect much substance from the propaganda spreading jingoistic journalist. She conveniently missed mentioning the real reasons why visa applications of Indians get rejected -\n1) Thousands of Indians go on tourists visas only to 'disappear' and never return. It doesn't just happen in Canada, US, UK, Aus but also welcoming countries like Thailand, UAE.\n2) Indian Visa (to visit India) itself is one of the most expensive and complicated to get for foreigners, so other countries have no incentive to make it easier for Indian citizens.\n3) Developed countries know that if they make it 'easier' for Indians to travel to their country, they will end up with tens of thousands who wont want to go back to India. It is already the case when its difficult to get a visa, imagine the situation if its made easier.\n4) Most of the Indian tourists fall under the mass category, they are not like the heavy spending Chinese tourists. We are not the most well behaved, so till we start getting more affluent, we wont be in as much demand.

These people are disg**ting that they think they can just pour into our country illegally and they actually want to do that! My father came from a very tough life in India. He made sure to come over here legally, even though his situation was beyond dire. He’s a man of integrity, more people should have that kind of integrity. Do the right thing or others will force the right thing on you!!??

America has made choices driven by selfish ideals that ignore the welfare (health and security) of the people. The welfare of the people is a government's first responsibility! By inspiring a 'get rich to survive' mentality America has spawned generations of children who put the $dollar above all else. Above love, family, parenting, faithfulness, and even truth. Fixing that seems impossible.

Good luck it wasn't me, would have thrown the pizza and made him wait another fucking hour before he gets a pizza. Learn his lesson. Definitely a black Toronto yute

can't give an opinion about living in USA, because I never stayed for long (only for vacations or short visits), but as a visitor, I used to go once or twice a week in the 90's (I used to live 5 minutes drive from the border), as a visitor, I was always welcomed and made friends very easily. Of course, being only a visitor, I didn't have to experience day to day life or any major problems. About police presence, I guess it depends where you go in USA, I'm from Montreal & we also have a very visible police presence (guess it's common in bigger cities). Didn't have any problems with police in USA, like everywhere, if you comply, you'll have good relationship with policemen. If you try to play or disrespect them, you're in for some trouble--no different here in Canada.

And people here say that Modi Made India famous on World stage?????

You talked around the real issue but call yourself a reporter. \nHere's the real reason:\nVivek Rama made a recent comment that got wyte Americans upset...and now wyte America has a distrust towards Indians and feel like Indians are forgetting their place in the American racial ladder...Also, wyte populations are shrinking around the world. Time to slow down with this immigration. I'm all for it because as an FBA, I mostly see these entitled Indians coming here to the states and they are racist towards me and my ppl. Those kind of ppl need to stay in their homeland...

Like you guys are complaining about things Canadians everyday are dealing. High costs of living,Cost of Food I myself work away from home hundreds of kilometres. You guys made the decision to come study here. Theres many other places to study. Lol.

KINDLY MIND THAT LAKHS OF BANGLADESHI MADE INDIAN PASSPORT LAST 15 YEARS. KINDLY CROSSCHECK REJECTED VISA AND REASONS.

The reason why you are leaving Canada is because we have had 50 years of NeoLiberalism. We can't even imagine a government that provides us with good service. You quote the Fraser Institue and talk about getting tough on crime. This is all US billionaire promoted bunk. More cuts and austerity won't help anyone except the wealthy and corporations who have enjoyed everything their way since the 1980s. Based on you political leanings you will have to go to the US or a Fascist state where you will have less freedom and an even lower quality of life. Our taxes are not high and our debt is reasonable. We just have made our government so small and ineffective that it can't deal with anything and we have no sense of community values. It's going US style, winner take all.

Hi! Palki, Wasn't it you who went to UK and made a speech that world now sees Indian Passport with Pride. And now this story. I also heard Indian Passport is around 80th in the world according to a survey which scores passport strength basis it's Visa On Arrival status.

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.

Recommendations made are stupid ..

I am a Canadian. Moved to Houston and lived there for eight years....there is nothing pleasant about living in the United States. Sorry but you guys fail even the basic courtesies of life. Was relieved to get back to Canada and get rid of my sidearms! Hospitals and clinics in the U.S. want proof of insurance or they can refuse to even look at you! In Canada no clinic or hospital can turn you away....and we have the Good Samartan law here...meaning you can't be sued for helping someone in an emegency. I actually knew a person in Houston who made her living suing people and companies just because it was easy money....try that here...lmao. To sum it up....living in Canada has the most appeal for me. Now, 2025, I would not even cross the border...too dangerous...trump tards everywhere and who knows when you will be on thier target list.

Point of correction, Indians are not the most talented. The greediness of Indians made them look like the most talented. When Indians occupy a job, they would only hire their own people. People have Woking up to their act of greediness.

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??

Modi made india hate again ?

Those that have abused these privileges have made it more difficult for the genuine travellers to get visas. UK may be refusing 17% of visas however Indians were the highest number of migrants into uk year ending June 24. 86% migration into Uk was from non EU countries and Indian was the most common nationality for non-EU+ immigration for both work-related (116,000) and study-related (127,000) reasons in YE June 2024.

In my opinion, the Vande Bharat trains are no good. Yes they are fast, stable, and silent, but they are not comfortable. Observe the positioning of the USB port, the tray table, and the seat handles. Very uncomfortable. I messaged the Railway ministry, the PMO office, and the PM, about the poor design, but I don't think their Egoships have made any change.

What goes against India is 1) illegal immigrants and refugee applications from Indians 2 when they go abroad 2) poor or lack of civic sense, dressing sense or hygiene, 3) BJP is failing to project India as shining plus BJP has made India a living messy hell

That's what happens when someone criticizes the dogshit dirty street food of India made by a chapri youtuber with unlimited data & the whole troll army started defending it????

Because india has a chatkaru media who said ohh india is vishav guru look this is reality and True where is india Stand india keep falling Because modi destroy the country 5th largest economy it's joke because look how much per capita and 1 billion indian below made $2 a Day

Chinisaton or Indianization of Canada ..., has made it impossible of professionals to obtain jobs or keep jobs and therefore afford to live in Canada... Only Chinese/Indian with large communities and helped by their government ... can find ways to establish and bring more people in North America to colonize it in time Totally. White people especially males are discriminated, bullied, and forced out of their jobs in order to be replaced by Asian employees!

3:54 ???\nJust week ago SAUDI ARABIA made more sticter rules to indians to aquire work visa\nAs most of the degrees held by indians were either fake or useless, \nFun fact for BHAKTS: iam also effected by it???

I am an Indian, we were planning to go to Europe for a holiday. But the sheer number of documents they asked made me think otherwise. Now don’t get me wrong. I did my masters in France and I speak a few European languages, but this new trend of asking for my the million documents doesn’t go well with me. We cancelled our tickets. We will travel somewhere else.

Reminds me of Pygmées of central Africa, they denied contact for long with civilisation. Westerns humanitarians, and preachers made contact with them. \n\nToday they are even deny accès to the forest, local gouvernement asked them to join villages.

she should be made the next foreign external minister she would be an excellent choice

We Indians have made India such a sit hole, that we don't want to return to India once we see any other country ?\nOpen gutters, pothole city roads, open eve teasing, gang rapes, pending court cases, no helping police, high taxes and after this loans of trillions of rupees for generations to pay.?

I think it is about time Indians should know that these foreign places are not paradise and just stay where you are until changes have been made, such as Trump coming to office and few elections in Europe. Nothing at this point is set in stone.

It was on 72 in 2014.. And total number of ranks are around 100, because there are 2-3 countries on single spot..slipping 5 rank mean slipping below 10-15 countries.. \nVisa on Arrival does not only depend on passport ranking, it depends on the host countries as well, e.g Kenya has made visa-free(Visa on Arrival) free for everyone accross the world. Most of of the touris friendly countries are issuing free Visa-on-Arrival just to boom their tourism sector...On the contrary, now we don't get any Visa-on-Arrival for any European country, earlier we had access of Visa-on-Arrival for Serbia. \nSituation is getting worse day-by-day, many countries are not accepting INR at the Airport(though you can exchange at their local market, but conversion rate is very poor)

Countries should be made to pay back visa fees. No visa no fees. Simple

Indians IT professionals made a good impression to allow for fellow indians to come. But the current middle class Indians make the west feel like you are living in India. I don't know what you are talking about Palki. There are more Indians than any other nation in the west.

this madam called palki is imitation of godi media she's made to bark by her Indian bosses

New zealand already made it known they wont be taking in. The cost of living and housing is so unaffordable look it up.

You made Indian look worst\n#fromIndonesia

I remember when my country Indonesia still gave Indians visa access like everyone else. It was horrible! Our airports were swarmed with unruly and mannerless Indians. They complained to be, discriminated, when they were treated like anybody else. What worse was they called everybody Chinese and made it the reason to fight with them, even with security guards! Everyone look Chinese to them. Such bigoted people were security and stability threat for everyone. They should stay in India since India is already ruined anyway. In Paliki style, I will tell you what Indians should do, Do Not Ruin Everywhere Else.

Well i don't blame those government making even harder for foreigners to access abroad.. \nSOME people that applying for visas have ulterior motive, and SOME tourist have so bad attitude and manners to the point the locals are just so fed up.. the the point it is even better for no tourist at all.. \n\nlets take some examples.. \nIndonesia, Bali.. Their sacred ground are mocked and used for nude photoshoot by drunk tourist..\nJapan, Kyoto.. They put a literal banned on all tourist that are visiting geisha district..\nItaly, Venice.. Venice over-tourism have made them surge price thus disrupting locals price, Environmental and cultural damage..\nthese are the few of the problem with mass foreigners coming into other countries..

You seemed to have conveniently missed a few more main points. We, Indians, put ourselves down.\n\nThey are;\n1) Out of 100 Indiands traveled abroad either for tourism or business, only 50 returns home, and the rest try to find jobs to live there.\n\n2) Many Indians forge documents or produce fake documents to get visas.\n\n3) Where the Indians go, they bring pan and pan parag items and spit sll over the place, especially the North Indians. South Indians are much better.\n\n4) We, Indians, can go any lower to get a job abroad at low pay. So, we put our own grades down.\n\nThere are numerous examples I know of. Let me cite a few below.\n\n1) In one of the Western countries, a few years ago, a real Punjabi brother and sister who staged fake a marriage, got a marriage certificate, and other documents only to migrate there. The government eventually found put and deported them.\n\n2) Canada deported a few hundred Gujarati students when the US border security found them not speaking in English. On investigation, it was found that they all came with fake IELTS certificate.\n\nThere are many incidents we get to witness the day after the day. So, we can't blame other countries. It's us who made us very cheap in the international market. Because of those Indians, the entire innocent, honest, and talented Indians community is affected.

India made a horrific mistake and this Justinder quit being prime minister of canada ?.

Thus Indians flock to a certain temple to pray for smooth approval of their US visa application. Just search on YT if you think I made this up.?

its because they are racist... imagine US, UK, etc grants no visa on their former enemies (like Japan) but demands for visa entry for their former colonies? you cant deny that these former imperialists sees former colonized countries as lint and does not contribute to their economy.... they stole billions of dollars in the past and at they could've grant visa free entry to their former colonies as a way of compensation to the damages that they've made in the past but they didnt.. and when war broke up, they'll ask from these former colonized countries for some soldier to be on the frontline for them because they were allies.. until now they still do some exploits to colonized counties in some other way like establishing manufacturing plant or some establishment hiring cheap labor from these countries, and when you want to visit to these counties they will automatically deny you.. On some point, China gives a better option. They will welcome you with open arms (although they will take advantage of you) but at least you can visit their country easily.

When our great dear leader made india number one country in the world.. Most of the world think that why the world number one country citizens come to their nation.\n\nIndians stay In india and make india the great country in the whole universe.. Like we are the greatest country in the world now..\n\nRAISING ON THE GLOBAL STAGE.. NOTE THIS POINT YOUR HONOUR.. ?

All fake news ,Modi ji has made india vishvaguru

Modi has made india into something else. It’s like there’s no respect for us anymore.

UAE made strict because of the Indians who over stay on visit visa was increased, for genuine tour tourists they always welcome

When didi was happy to promote Made in India but suddenly when I saw trade import from China to India rose 60 to 120 billion from\n2018 to 2025 and export 29 to 20\nBillions..Then we can see where is rank compare to China\nIt’s just some great Indian mind working in IT is helping to maintain its structure to the mind nor\nThey cannot compete\nSo Lady instead of crying of other countries..we sud try to know flaw and improve it in better way..\nBut Palki didi always crying
