I’m in Nova Scotia Canada,u had a school shooting not long ago where a cop stood outside waiting for backup while kids were dying inside,it bothers to this day,why a cop didn’t do something,cops here travel in two’s ,but if a cop here stood outside and did nothing,I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes,I’m sure he’d go missing

I was in the Missouri when i got sick. I drove home and was diagnosed with a brainstem tumour. 10 hr surgery, 4 surgerical teams, icu, wks hospitalization. Months of rehab and homecare. The school even arranged a cab to take my 5 yr old to school. I have seen bills for pts who didn't make it home and had to have surgery in the US before being repatriated back to the icu i worked. It was an eye opener to see what they were charged for a box of kleenex, a catheter, an iv bag etc. I would have lost everything if i had to have surgery in the US. \nMy sister is currently in hosp in the US, and she is getting good care. I drove down last time she was in, and i was impressed by the lovely large CCU bay, but, hey patients are paying for it. She had a fancy postop CABG pillow to splint her chest when she had to coughed. It had a cute surgical heart on it. I am sure it cost $$. In Canada, we give our pts a regular pillow, some iv morphine and tlc when it hurts when they cough, no fancy cartoon pillow, but no bill either lol. She's a senior on medicaid so she's not going into massive debt or dying in her home to avoid going to the hospital.\n \nI have been travelling to the states since 1976 as a young child. I love the states, I have a lot of family there. My dad lived there until his death. My great grandma immigrated and died in Montana. I have never had a negative experience there in over 49 yrs, other than the old lady backed into my parked suv in the hobby lobby lol parking lot l\n\nA big plus in Canada, is paid Maternity/ paternity leaves and also caregiver leave. Your mom has a stroke or child has cancer you can take time off work to care for them with partial pay and not worry about losing your job

IF Mexico is so open and great. Why aren't Mexican citizens and others not staying their? Than Mexican citizen complaining that their Tijuana town will be over run wasn't concerned when their country didn't stop all these millions of ppl entering America. Now they are concerned. for THEMSELVES.

So canada wouldn't do all this if trump didn't strong armed them???

Trump didn't put them in This situation, the Biden administration did, but they are not mad at Biden an chicken neck Kamala...

Its because of how most of the indians who visit to western countries (in fact even thailand) behaves. Stealing hotel toiletries, towels arrogant. I heard one tourist yelling at a restaurant in lake district UK as he is a <<caste name>> and won't bow down. Poor intern student english guy didn't get what he meant. Reputation is very bad for most of the countries to be honest.

We need immigrants. I don’t understand how the U.S. has turned into a country of extremes. Biden didn’t do enough and 47 is going to go to the opposite side.

Want to enter the US? Easy, get a passport before you leave your country. If you want to move and work, apply for an employment visa before you leave your country. Didn't plan ahead, your problem.

Trump has been saying for the padt YEAR he will shut the border down. Apparently, you didn’t listen. What’s going to happen to you? Look what happened to Laken Riley. We think that’s unfair. You at least have your lives. Laken doesn’t.

Immigration lottery through an app? I didn’t know US went digital. Shouldn’t people apply and be vetted?

We’ll that didn’t take long. Trump and Homan said that the media would rush to show immigrants crying, in an effort to sway public opinion.

As for that Elena Barrera, you had 27 years to fix your immigration status, clearly you didn't care enough to become a legal citizen, so you can go. Good bye.

Trump won the election with less than half of the popular vote. Many Americans didn't vote at all. Many of us are sorry for Trump. Very sorry to the rest of the world too.

It has been very obvious for years what Trumps stance on illegal immigration is. They can't say they didn't know.

If Mexico didn’t want to get stuck with them, they shouldn’t have allowed them in. They just thought they could pass them through to the US. Daddy’s home

Didn’t realize there are towlines in Canada, anyone else see nothing other than spies. Honestly, speak well, do they have legitimate friends, should proudly watch them

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.

Why didn’t you pull out the stats on which countries lead illegal immigration supply? Misleading piece

You didn’t do any video when Saqib Mehmood and Uzzie visa get delayed. Despite they are UK and Australian residents.

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.

I was surprised that the video didn't mention the scam involving low-skilled labor from the UAE. Many companies and brokers bring thousands of low-skilled, low-educated workers on short-term visas (as short as three months for two years of employment). These workers often end up being misled and become illegal immigrants because companies prefer to pay the fine, which is cheaper than a two-year visa. Additionally, these companies often retain the passports of the workers, preventing them from returning to their home countries even if they wish to do so. This practice severely impacts the workers and contributes to the bad reputation of the Indian passport, as statistics show an increasing number of Indian passport holders not respecting visa durations.\n\nThe UAE is home to over 3.89 million Indian expats, constituting over 37.96% of the country’s total population. Reports indicate that a significant number of these workers do not respect the time limitations of their visas, further exacerbating the issue.\n\nI do believe, as this is more likely to affect the situation than any conspiracy theories.

The population of Indian immigrants has skyrocketed in my native California since 2000. There are many lovely Indian people living here. But many are arrogant Tesla drivers that dont drive safely and act like they own the world. I slammed my breaks on once because a dog ran into the street and I didn’t want to hit it. And the Indian man behind me rear-ended me (which is completely his fault because he was riding too close behind.) He was furious and his response was “you should’ve hit the dog.” He kept saying it was my fault for stopping in the road and wouldn’t give me his insurance. I almost hit him, but instead I called the cops so they’d force him to give me his insurance.

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'.

Why does not she say that it's our behavior that is causing this, all arrogant indian around the world has created a very bad picture of India, this includes Paalki as well. I though she was a new reporter didn't know she was a fake one.!!

Didn’t someone say that people should surge the border 4 years ago lol

Whole world hates Indians,,, ???? but even indians Didn't accept that???

Didn't Palki Sharma, this very lady go to the Oxford debate to say how great the Indian passport is and how we are praised because of it?... what happened now? What happened to India is great under Modi?

Didn't Hindustanis attack African students just for being black. How do they expect other cultures to welcome millions of Indians?

Under BJP all Indian citizen get visa … it was under Nehru and congress Indian didn’t get visa

For Schengen visa, besides submitting all documents our parent's visa was rejected. I doubt it is a money making process for them. And I wonder why didn't they refund the money (at least some part)they received as fees since it is rejected and no forum for us to question this..

Madame you didn't tell the whole story. Unemployment in India is very high and youth who travel to US and the UK do not return back to India. Illegal immigration is the new issue found with travelling abroad. ????

Didn't Modiji increase India's stature, then why the rejections???

She didn’t mentioned that India slide through the ranking in the Modi government and bashing other countries for good ranking.

One thing she didn’t mention is how easy is it to get an Indian Visa. How many. Visa’s does India itself Reject?

Few months back in UK someone said the Indians were flaunting their passports with pride . She didn’t mention blank passports ! ?

Telling 5th largest economy didn’t help we are still developing nation. Just see our roads, traffic rules, food quality, air quality, toxic work culture and the list goes on and on

India didn't give a pakistani background english bowler. Why? \nYou accuse others of terrorism now the others are accusing you for infestation ??

Palki why are you fighting for Indians to come to the West? India wanted to destroy the US dollar with BRICS. Now it looks like the rupee is sinking like bricks and taking the yuan and the Brazilian real with it!!! Didn't you know what happens when you dig holes for your enemies to fall into?

Didn't they do the same thing to the Chinese, this is not new Yes Indian got a good ride in the past now it caught up with them.

Didn’t know India had caste system in passport as well. Oh Gosh. ???

My both canada and mexico got rejected recently ???pretty devastating.For a fact i have all the documents and funds but i am being denied by canada stating like i dont have enough home connection.so far i have been born and brought up entirely in India and all my relatives are here.In mexico tourist visa they didn't give a reason ?.Just simply waste of time,money and effort.There should be some strict laws to tackle this problem then only we Indians can have the liberty and proper respect.

Omg she didn't blame Khalistani for the 6. Im so surprised how this can happen. I think she forgot to, but she will do it in the next video when she mentions someone from Canada.

Canada didn’t need immigrants. Fortune 500 companies did. \nIndian immigrants are perfect for this task. They don’t mind living in modern day slavery. Especially those from Punjab. This will go down in history as the greatest invasion of a country without shooting a single bullet or dropping a single bomb. The Country has literally changed forever.

Take it easy. You are lucky the Canadian government didn't fine you another $40k on behalf of the tenants.\n\nYou obviously have equities while the tenants have nothing. What did you want the money grabbing government do? Fight the tenants for you? What can they get out of it?

Mass Deportations need to start immediately!\n\nI didn’t think there was that many of them in PEI! They are everywhere!

Didn’t the black guy kick peire out?

Sounds like a black guy. They didn't have to be naturalised like the other guy and hence the arrogance.

Don't bring the ugliness of your system and your bad habits here to Canada. You came here to live, so follow the culture and way of life of Canadians. You didn't come here to turn our country into India.

Damn I didn’t know this, I plan on moving to Canada in the near future as a union welder but if it’s this bad I may have to reconsider

Who projected this kind of poverty? Or people just thought the same cycles generationally would continue? After Y2K people didn't see the shift out of society? \nJust be proud of what you accomplished and rerurn to your ancestors homelands.
