And we're supposed to feed and house criminal crossers when our own is suffering. Biden's fault - treasonous - why was this allowed to happen for 4 years. We need to be closed for GOOD right now. No more applications at all. ?

Application for a visa is to a guarantee of granting a visa.

Yet, Elon just fired 20 immigrant judges to slow down the processing of immigration applications. While a mass of people trying to cross our border is wrong, we should be encouraging people to follow the proper legal channels, not stopping them. The speedy processing of applications will clear the years long backlog. Either you are in or out, not in limbo. Elon's firing of immigration judges is a thinly veiled attempt to break our immigration system. Don't be fooled.

Despite being the 5th largest economy, India still faces significant challenges in wealth distribution and visa compliance. While economic strength is a factor in visa approvals, it is not the only consideration. One major issue is visa misuse and overstaying. With a population of 1.4 billion, even if 10% were to overstay in foreign countries, that would be 140 million people—almost half the population of the United States. This creates serious concerns for immigration systems worldwide, leading to strict visa vetting processes for Indian applicants.\nFurthermore, while India’s economy is large, the majority of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few. A high GDP does not necessarily mean the average citizen enjoys financial security. Many people seek better opportunities abroad, sometimes through illegal means, which further justifies the need for stringent immigration policies.\nAnother issue that affects how Indians are perceived abroad is the behavior of some tourists. While not all are at fault, a growing number of incidents involving disrespectful behavior, disregard for local laws, and unruly conduct have led to Indian tourists gaining a negative reputation in some countries, including Nepal. This has made them among the least desired tourists in certain regions.\nUltimately, visas are not just about how much money a country has. Factors like overstays, illegal migration risks, and tourist behavior all play a role in shaping immigration policies. Respect and reputation are earned, not entitled. If you want to be welcomed and respected abroad, it’s essential to create a positive impression through responsible actions and cultural sensitivity.

Indians lie on their visa applications and then cry about denials. Stop visa fraud, and approval rates will automatically go up. Until then, deal with it.

I'm all for legal immigration but I don't think the US can handle any more people at the moment. I don't know about anyone else, but it's been brutal for me personally to find a job for a couple of months just to get by until my other job is good to go for the season. I've never had to claim unemployment (I always found another job within a week or two), and I've been suffering for the past 6 months. I'm more than qualified for some of the applications I have filled out, but yet I feel like just because I'm a white woman, I get skipped over. I've applied to around 50-70 jobs and only had 2 interviews. Thankfully, I still live at home, but if i didn't, I'd be wayyy more screwed. I believe America needs to take care of it's legal citizens first, then we can worry about others.

You are in such denial lady you are in such denial if you're the fifth largest ranking superpower then why in the world do we have 5 million plus sanctuary applications from people in India, you heard me correctly 5 million plus ok Canada's a big country but it doesn't have very many people in it okay

As an American citizen that has lost job opportunities because these immigrants are here ILLEGALLY -- I'm ok with this. People are perfectly able to self deport and file the proper applications to come here legally. If not, they will never be allowed back if ICE gets them first, then they will be on the federal criminal list for sneaking in without authorization.

All your reasonings for Indian not getting visas are invalid or self serving for your Indian middle class Angrezi viewers. \n\nIndia, as U say, in the aggregate is indeed rising. But Indians — both padh and unpadh — have NOT risen and are NOR rising in tandem with India’s rise. \n\nWe see it all the time in places where Indians live in large numbers as in New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, the Bay Area… …\n\nMany Indians, even techies with all kinds of information on their finger tips when they sit in front of their computer screens, are unprepared on the local culture, ethos and traditions and history, just because thay have a loooong list buddies and relatives in their e-Rolodex on the day they land here. Their lack of curiosity in the local land is astounding. \n\nSecondly, getting rejected for visa is routine in many countries. They don’t haveto give you ANY reason why they reject your visa, no matter how well placed or well connected you are in India. \n\nIn my own case, I graduated from UC Berkeley, a premier internationally known school with in engineering with a PhD in 1984. Decades ago. \n\nMy education at Berkeley was ENTIRELY on scholarships and fellowships and fee waivers. \n\nMy family was not the so-called urban middle class living in 1, 2, and 3 BHK flats in urban India., or of land lords or of mid level bureaucrats, or judges or in the Indian corporate babudom . \n\nWe were from what is called in the US as working class. In India the terminology would be more offensive, “lower class.” \n\nFor my graduation, I applied for my mother’s visa (my mother, who became a widow at 39, raised us under great difficulties with a meager pension of INR 350. She had not gone to school beyond 5th grade and she had no ancestral property, not even a red brick in her ancestral home. \n\nMy mother’s visitor visa was rejected and to this day — I am in my 70s now — it hurts me that she was not present when I received my PhD at Berkeley, one of the top-rated int’l universities. They rejected her visitor visa probably because she had nothing to show as her assets in her application. \n\nBut later. with me getting a job here as a research engineer in a large corporation, my mother visited the US five times. \n\nNot only that, even my older brother and sister in law got a ten-year multiple entry visitor visa when the came for my daughters wedding. \n\nThe point I am trying to make to your mostly upper middle class internationally well connected viewers is that visas are ALWAYS a privilege, never a right, no matter how well placed and well connected in your home country. And how well versed you are in Angrezi and how good you are in your Angrezi accent, partly British and partly Amreeki. \n\nKollengode S Venkataraman.

Most of them lie in their application.

Once deported you are not allowed to reapply for a green card . I fought this battle with my British husband and we moved to London to avoid deportation based on a grey area of our application for him . We then rendered the US .5 years later returned and applied because we had not lost the right by being deported

I ran into my neighbor elderly lady with her 16 year old granddaughter. Just shooting the breeze tells me her granddaughter 16 years old put out countless job applications not one single reply all summer no employment because every small businesses and franchise restaurants all employe Punjabs and indians your taking our jobs now get the Fuc out my country you slimmy scumbags

I know some People are leaving to go to the US.They’re into software programming for cars.Putting in hundreds of Applications,no chance for a Job(Bavaria-Germany).Over skilled people without a chance .Aleo in other Countries Salaries are much higher abroad.

Same thing happens on canadian border. Massive influx of fake refugee who got rejected of their asylum application in the u.s sneak across the border into canada and claim asylum. They get 8000 canadian dollar a month paid by canadian taxpayer until their case finalize whether they are legit or fake

More applications so more rejection. The ratio of rejection could be same as before

Return to your country and getting line for immigrants application ! Don’t invade our country ! Be smart !

My dude you just said that health care is never discussed in american politics. \n\nAlso, all these people saying that health care in Canada takes years and years for things that take weeks in the US are typically full of it. Yeah. Some provinces that shall remain nameless like to break contracts with health care professionals, resulting in shortages of certain types of workers. \n\nI live in remote northish parts of my province (not NWT, Yukon, or Nunavut), and 6 years ago I was diagnosed w/ lymphoma. They had me set up to do chemotherapy treatment within 2 weeks. They wanted me to start that weekend, but I needed the time to put my work in order for me to be gone for an extended period, get applications set up for EI/Healthcare claims, and figure out who in my family I wanted to share the information with. \n\nIn Canada you end up waiting for elective surgeries and treatments, because they aren't critical by virtue of being elective. That's about it. If you need an elective and have 10K in your pocket not doing anything, go ahead and go to the states.

I feel ashamed that CNN and Kaitlan Collins agreed to cover/advocate for it. *_THIS IS DISINFORMATION_*. \nTrump has fixed female sport. Trump is fixing sexual predators using female bathrooms and this also is a FIX. Period.\n\nIf the deaf and the handicapped don't complain about their military application being rejected, neither should some ADHD who have a mental incapacity to accept the gender they were born with, because they will stir commotion in a place where order is required.

if you a trans you should not serve you liar in your application

This is a good step in the right direction. Cut down public sector spending. Since the targets for foreign students are much lower, and the anticipated immigration # should be lower in the next few years, we don't need as many immigration workers. I do hope Immigration Canada would prioritize applicants with higher education, skills that Canada need, etc.

You guys filed for schooling not living they are different applications. You finish school You ARE TO GO HOME NOT STAY simple as that. And what is this demanding things this is Canada not India

Put a job application in front of them and they’ll turn around …. The fact that these people think they deserve to come here illegally is mind-boggling.

I believe that the relationship between a Country and its citizens is much the same as a parents duty to their child. Governments have a DUTY to care for the safety and well being of their citizens. I would like to see a UN declaration stating that governments must accept their citizens back into their borders. And that the home country must reimburse all those governments and organizations that fed, clothed, transported, sheltered and rendered medical aide to their citizens. NO COUNTRY must be allowed to dump their citizens like trash at the side of the road. These are THEIR CITIZENS..IT IS THE HOME COUNTRY'S DUTY TO TAKE CARE OF THEM up until the time they are LEGALLY granted citizenship elsewhere. This application process can be done while the person is still in residence in their own Country. It is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to take the illegal route. Thousands of people have died in the process. This must be stopped by every Country along their route. We have a humanitarian crisis of global significance here..child trafficking, drug trafficking, violent gangs and organized crime all abuse illegal immigrants. If it was your child....what would you do?

It is time for the government to create opportunities for India’s foreign dream seekers and help them to find better paying jobs in India rather than blaming other countries for rejecting visa applications.

If a visa is denied, then the Foreign Country must refund at least 75% of the Visa Fees to the applicant.

As a foreigner coming to India practically every year since 1975 I can say the way India is handling visa applications makes no sense. Foreigners who spend nearly all their income on Charity in India are denied an entry visa, year after year. And with only an tourist visa life is pretty unpleasant for non tourists.

Shut the border and close all applications for the time being. Send people back home and revamp work visas and immigration policies need to be respected by everyone and our border respected

Sell citizenship applications.\nEmployees on H1 Visas. Should have a large employer/employee tax. To help find the system. In all areas.

If the U.S is going to offer Asylum to some people, require them to do the application process from their own country or else they can't be processed. That will stop them from coming to the Mexican border.

USA freaking ows me 16k for visa application. Even my STUDENT visa was rejected in spite of having my course started online, all my legal docs and education scores on point. For no reason it was rejected and reason also not shared. If the purpose is not met why use people's money? Utter nonsense visa process and fees.

Simple answer there are way too many Indian visa applicants

So I’m taking applications for a spouse!!!!

A country has immigration laws. Some abide by them, others enter the country without caring. It would be deportation if the first group were removed from the country. Removing the latter from the country is simply the implementation of applicable law, is as such a duty of the state, and has absolutely nothing to do with deportation. It should be a crime to describe the enforcement of law and order as deportation.

The baseline is a that Canada has a responsibility to its citizens but has no obligation to foreign persons. Clearly more could be done with less by promptly rejecting of applications except for short list skill sets. Person with problematic political beliefs should be deported ASAP. Canada doesn’t need foreign demonstrators and Canada haters in the country and should take action similar to Italy.

I was born in Canada. It took 2 years to obtain papers for my husband and me to immigrate into Canada from the US IN 1984. THEY REFUSED OUR APPLICATION 3 TIMES.

Deport immediately, lifetime ban from ALL future asylum or immigration applications.

Really? How shocking! I thought ‘bharat’ is the best country in the world and being an Indian is a matter of pride. How can they reject our visa applications? ?

Truth, the real American voters have spoken, time for change….corrupt Liberal democrats wasting our money….no more Applications being accepted, all filled up, good bye & good luck

So, wait a minute. Justin only has 2 mil applicants and already 50% out of this # has been already a backlog !?!? Justin, what do u smoke ? Anti Trump pill ??

1. Title of video confusing. It implies that India is refusing visa applications rather than foreign countries are refusing visas for Indians.

Palki they have their own reason for rejection, not just simply rejecting, as you said rejection rate is nearly 10 or 15% only, what do you say about granted percentage, don't think that every visa applications will be granted, one first needs to fulfill the visa requirements.

Huge global backlash against Indians - such a bad reputation as travellers and immigrants, Canada will be rejecting more India visa applicants and deporting many Indian

One more rant with no objective understanding or study of the core issue. Unfortunately many tourists from India are a disgrace and have very little civic sense. Though VISA applications cannot measure that, they just keep the total numbers low by bringing in additional restrictions.

I think the reporter should do proper research. Human development index(education, job, safety, etc.) and the number of overstaying Indians are the major factors why they tend to reject a lot of applicants from India. If India could provide a better living standard, its people would tend to return and not to overstay abroad. But this is not the case. The number of Indians wanting to migrate abroad manifests otherwise. It seems like there is a scarcity of resources in India. No wonder they are shocked that people abroad give tips for a service.

I am sure most of 5he applications are from India. Refund and delete

Why not give citizenship to everyone living in Canada so they can contribute to the job market. No more endless permit applications or refugees in limbo. It's all outdated and a waste of resources.

The fact that most of the people who work on the immigration are Indians ?? so they can grant visa to their fellow citizens. They usually cut off applications from other countries and take ??s with illegal procedures and fake documents.

lol application process .. anyone know how difficult to apply India in visa !!!

Some of Those who work in the immigration are liberals who let illegal entry mess up immigration and approved questionable applicants
