I have heard the average just to have baby in the US is 7-10K not including prenatal care, here in Canada it is zero…\nI have been pregnant 3 times, sadly lost my first 2, and I have had 2 complete knee replacements and several spinal cord surgeries…I would be dead for sure if I lived in the States, here I have paid nothing, I have insurance and that pays for my medication I need to take. I don’t know how people manage down there if you have health issues.

very good news.. makes me happy. I am sure Indians will blame their govt for that.. everything is govt responsibility including wiping their bottoms..

injustice for indians, will rise rapidly, for sure.

Yea...nothing to do with the behaviour of Indians... sure

She always tries to sound like there is an agenda against India. Check timestamp 3:07. There is no agenda, let me explain why.\nThe rejection rate is a better measure than rejection numbers or visa fees. And I'm pretty sure that India has a lower rejection rate compared to many other countries. It is the sheer volume of applications that contribute to this. Even 1% rejection on 100k Indian visas is a 1000 rejected visas. While a less populous country may have 10% rejection out of 1000 visas which is 100 rejections. So, in % terms, India fare well despite having higher rejections.\nFiring shots at Kosovo, Cuba and B Faso is a cheap shot and unnecessary to push the point of passport rank. All countries have a right to determine who they allow into their country with lower restrictions. And they are under no obligation to open the gates to anyone. It is also common knowledge that the newer cohorts of Indian immigrants to the West are a bad representation of Indian society (best example - Canada). Hence the rising anti Indian Immigration stance. Immigration is a privilege and not a right. I hope that the Indian community understands that the visa rejections are a lesson and not an insult, and that they learn from this and become better ambassadors when they go overseas.

Yesterday a man called me on whatsapp, not sure how he got my number. He told me his name was John Wang. But that dude sounded like Rajesh,Kumar,Shahil from India. These people are not honest people. Scammers

What can India Do? Make sure their citizens are travelling with money and they come back home after their vacation?that alone can help

A lot of Indians treat white people really badly. Especially when there is money involved. It’s now extremely common that people here hate dealing with Indians as customers of their business and will go as far as avoid it altogether. They will often relentlessly try to negotiate services, lie and say anything to get get their way, pester businesses until they cave to their demands and even leave bad reviews which they say they will change if you give them a good deal. None of this is the way things are done in Canada and that needs to be respected. Something kind of funny, I’ve heard many people say that Indians will often say they will refer tons of friends and family to a business if you give them an unreasonable discount (which they never do once they’ve gotten what they want), but what they don’t realize is that referring a bunch more Indians to them is the last thing that business wants. And really, some of the discounts they want on things are just ridiculous. When I was selling my car a few years ago, I had it listed for $55,000 and I got bombarded by Indians offering $20,000-$25,000 and every lie under the sun of why that’s all it was worth, other people are saying yes to offers like that for the same car, dealerships are selling them for that much and so on. Like come on. And I guess while I’m at it, I hate to say but it’s a common thing here to walk into a gas station and the smell of body odour just hits you like a brick. I’ve stopped going to 3 different stations because of it. I’m sure there’s some pungent white people out there but damn. This is on a whole other level. It literally fills the entire building.

Believe or not because of the behavioural issues also become one reason for rejection. Maybe not a big reason but it definitely should consider. Any immigrant who enters to a country must obey the rules and policies, respect others, environment, culture etc. in Canada from some cities other nations are moving out out due this people are trying to make here as their country in all aspects. Most of them are really loud in stores and anywhere we go. Definitely there should be some behavioural lessons for them for sure. Some make illegal documents. Some so gossipy at work places. Some tell so much lies to reach higher places at work. Some are gangsters. We have other nations but I personally see only very few nations don’t blend well with the country. Every country have people as mentioned above but it’s more commonly we see and noticed in some cultures due to poor and no proper education. It’s unfortunate

I'm sure the number of people applying for visas from Burkina Faso is nothing compared to India... The most populated country in the World !!

Can Modi supporters reply under my comment how this is another master stroke by Modiji or how this is actually is vision of Modiji, I am sure you have some conspiracy ready.

1. Why do you allows Pakistani to travel freely in India. 2. You analyses shirt depth, tell us how many of rejected applications put fradulanent peoduced suppoeting documents. 3.NZ government receives garbage applications.i am sure you know very well why applications are rejected.

Unable to meet my siblings residing in US \n Tourist visa got rejected twice in Chennai .\n\nI am not sure what they need. Shown all the academic and Employment documents .

Being a NRI living in the UK i have noticed a lot of Indians come over on temporary visas and end up staying illegally. And this practice is not just exclusive to the uk, i am sure it happens to many more countries where Indian people go. And also many Indian s to survive overseas will end up doing illegal things to survive. This could be a reason behind the spike in visa rejections

Wait, isn't our ranking higher than Zimbabwe, North Korea, Lebanon, Haiti and all the South Asian countries? Of course we aren't better than Maldives, Ghana, Kenya, Thailand, and all Micronesian countries. But within next 30-50 years, we surely can rank higher than Ghana or Maldives. What we should do is, decrease the quality of education, employ as many unworthy individuals as possible, based on loyalty to political parties and leaders, focus not on skills, but on advertising. In addition, if we can build a society based on bribery, corruption, insecurity, poor hiegine, all over human values, with little or no influence of legal systems, the faster can we soar toward the UAE passport strength.

@Tyler Bucket 22:37 Sure I agree if you can pay for it :)

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 could make sure that the embassies and consulates have the resources to respond quickly to applicants, and to clearly explain the reasons for any rejections. THIS WILL MAKE THEM THINK TWICE*

Look the answer is simple, someone from Burkina Faso will not compete with an average European for his/her job. Indians will for sure. Instead of lobbying for better Visa equity, why not strive to make India more livable? We need to address that issue, that is the elephant in the room.

It's because the passports does not have modi ji's face on the cover. Kindly add his face, am sure the embassy will give bj along with visa. Akhir biswaguru hai wo. FYI our passport ranks now 85th, Pakistan and bangladesh can never match our power. They ranks 103 and 100.

IT IS INEVITABLE INDIA'S PASSPORT STRENGTH WILL RISE IN TIME\nIf we keep tightening Hindu grip on India & making sure foreign abrahamics never get a foot hold in India, to derail Indian growth. There are lot of forces outside who want Hinduism snuffed out because Dharma is something these Adharmis cannot tolerate. Such is the character of evil.

The western economic structure is drowning in debt and they fear Indians will come and take away what little is left. Don't worry companies will come to India eventually. I am sure the tourist visas are not getting rejected coz that would be soo dumb.

i really feel sad for my indian seriously i am sure if someone said all this in india to him \nhe would have slapped him

They are making so much money for unreversible visa payment. Surely, Divine justice will come to them before long. Indians should go to the Philippines and there's also a one- month free visa. Ms. Palki is doing the right thing by exposing the unexposed.

This is the exact reason why most BJP ministers make sure their kids to get US or UK passport as they themself has no faith in their performance and holding Indian citizenship. Best example is Jaishankar Ji. After his term is over, he can comfortably move to US with his son and settle a better life there.

Don’t blame the West. By your own account UAE, Australia, NZ are not technically western. I am sure getting a Visa to Japan, South Korea is equally tough. USA faces substantial illegal immigration from India mainly Gujarat. I am sure same is true of Europe. Don’t blame the passport index. How come China fares better and Singapore and Malaysia are among the best? Introspection instead of Jingoism is the solution.

The passport ranking is because of how Indians behave in general. If I was a nation I would make sure I don't let too many Indians in. And I would also make sure that the process is difficult enough to dehumanize them as they try to get to my country. \n\nAs an Indian I am happy that this is happening. At least now we will all work towards building this nation up to serve all our needs instead of fighting with others to let them into their house.

Palki, I feel for you! It sure hurts to know how much the world hates India. No?

Before we cry foul about why our passport ranks low or why visas keep getting denied, maybe we should take a hard look in the mirror. Here's some eye-opening news to chew on from Canada: nearly 50K international students who got study permits to Canada decided to play hooky and never showed up at the colleges and universities they were supposed to attend. Ohh, and guess what? a whopping 20,000 of them are Indians. These folks were reported as non-compliant with their student visas, ditching the whole 'studying' part of the deal. Instead, some are busy with doing illegal jobs, while others have allegedly slipped across the border into the US illegally. But sure instead of earning the respect, let's kee p demanding for it...

Im on green card in usa and genuinely i want to take my mom to other countries as a tourist but she got 6 times reject for US, one time canda and one time europe but i was able to make one trip with her to china. \nNot sure it just a skin color or anything else ?

Madam surely forgot about Oxford stunt. Lady tihari

To the person recording: you're in luck this time if he wasn't doing this job for his family you would have two blacked eyes for sure

If they’re so valuable, why not stay back home and try to fix that nation? I’m sure Indian could use them more than Canada

Indians immigrants destroyed Canada social economy for sure

I'm pretty sure that white guy never got punched in face before

If you have food for 10 guests, will you invite 20, even a kid understand this, but Liberals don't, the real question, who befenits from all this massive immigrations? Corporations, because it's sure as not the average citizen.

Canadian citizens just don't want indian immigrants, indians basically force your culture on them. I'm sure they don't hate indians, they just want indians to go home

Its hard to believe that there are 200 to 300 people leaving canada every day.\nCanada sure is not the place I grew up .\nThat's why I too will be leaving Canada to retire.

Thisnman is not a Christian for sure. He believes in hate ...speaks like during the third reich... And some of comments says that he speaks truth ?...shame on u angry people. Peace for all. Any color, any race . God please bless and save humanity.

This sure ain't Great Britain ?

I ‘m sure this woman is not canadian , look at the face ☺️

I am sure delivery guy is studying there and has more education than this moron. He might even be this guys boss someday you never know

Secure your borders by all means...it's your sovereign right. But also make sure you or your allies are not a reason for political instability in their country

It’s hilarious how many things people are claiming “Trump said this” and “Trump said that”. Why not stop trying to divide. Realize that your own party has let you down, and move on. You never know, maybe he will be good. He surely had enough people vote for him.

I am a senior and live in Vancouver, BC and my son who has dual citizenship lives in Seattle, WA. His wife and him will move back to Canada when he retires. I visit Seattle and enjoy going there. The shopping is great fun especially with all the big store headquarters being there and we can't forget Trader Joe's. I don't drink alcohol anymore, but the cost, volume and availability is crazy. He also lived in New York and lived a train ride away to the suburbs (great system) and was a lovely area to raise a family. Visited NYC and loved it. I've lived in Montreal and just love big cities. In saying all that, I think were all basically the same, however I could never permamentally live in the US. I can no longer afford the outrageous travel health insurance to travel to the USA because of my age and health issues. I have a primary doctor and four specialists that I see on a regular basis, waiting for a hip replacement and none has cost me a cent. Oh yes, I get free dental care. I wouldn't move to the states, but would sure like to visit again. Politics is a whole other subject.

To be fair,he should have had change for the customer.\n I'm not sure why he would'nt have the change he owed him.\n The customer should not be mean about it though.

I'm sure a lot of Trump followers would love to see her deported, citizen or not.

Now INDIA LICK more ASSES from WEST specially to US, ???\n\nFor sure INDIA will begg ARABs to move in, after all HARASSMENT by india to muslims from its domain, so disgusting.

Are you sure you mean India and not the Indian subcontinent?

I am sure dumb Trudeau would let them in ?. Bet it is the US that is stopping them. ?
