I'm Canadian born and my dream is to leave this communist cesspool and never look back

It is a painfully hard documentary to watch and to witness. We are a great country that can offer so much to world and to these kids. How did we get to this, is greed the only answer . Shame on every person that exploit the dreams . We should as Canadian's stand up for what is right and build along side with the newcomers

My tears are rolling ? This is really a question to india making who is making things hard that led citizens to leave home country to build a dream future!!!

I do not understand why this students need to chase a false dream when India offers better education at cheaper cost. Indian government should regulate this agents

It's just absolutely amazing how powerful the image of Canada and Canadian people and the Canadian Civilization and the Canadian Dream is.

My dream come true....

So our current housing, infrastructure and institutions can't handle the current population, so let's add another half million people a year? How is this rapidly increasing population going to impact the Liberal dream of climate targets?

Bhai pls hamare khandan me koi nahi abroad nahi gaya mera dream hai abhroad jana pls help

Heartbreaking to see these young adults…. Filled with false dreams of college seat n jobs … to pay their college fees … It’s time the Indian government built better educational institutions n multiple career diverse colleges in the country.

It’s true that Most students do not come here to study, study visa is just a stepping stone for pr, the dream of settling abroad comes with big price tag. Students have been exploited by agents, collages, employers. System is rigid, not only for a particular group but for everyone of us.

An ambitious dream demolished by a filthy country. Still greed prevails....how ironic!!

Mera bohot din se dream hai Canada jane ki

People in the comment section are the kind of neighbour I dream to have?

Why Canada,USA..etc,. India is a land of dreams, built it!

People spoiling their family and social life for candian dream..no life in Canada trust me..28K dollars would have spend 10 years in India Luxuriously..

It makes me angry that the ones who were lucky enough to study and eventually live in Canada would turn around and start a company that fully takes advantage of someone who wants the Canadian Dream as well. Completely heartless ❗

Fool people dream. for going to Canada

Uh... Even Canadians studying in this country for countless years and doesn't get the job of their dream. We should worry about Canadians first.

We faced same situation back in 2010, with UK. So we prevented as many as we can after that. Now we are into cyber security technologies, offering trainings, internships and placement opportunities too. No loans required, 2-3L is more than enough to get into good paying job 6-10lpa here in India. Sure those dreams can be built in India and move to abroad if you want to in 2-4 yrs work experience. Please do not fall pray to these abroad educational consulting services.

Inshallah one day dream comes to true ?♥️?

Selling dreams always work

I'm sitting here crying for my brethren, people exploiting others for their future and dreams then capitalizing off of it, destroying a life and breeding hopelessness....this is why there is no future for our world

I would like to thank CBC Fifth Estate for their initiative to uncover the trauma these students go through. This is only one cornerstone of the story. Fifth Estate need to dig deeper and come up with part 2 to look in to our Federal Government policy regarding issuing Student Visa from India. Why these so called for profit colleges / agencies only targeting students from India and not from any other countries ? The Student VISA process is different for students from other countries. It’s our government who is exploiting these students and playing with their hopes and dreams.

The problem with Indian people is that despite their hard work and dreams for good, their energies are misdirected without concerns that there are laws, rules and expectations in other countries that are different then theirs. For Canada, what is hesitation to talk straight about approving student visa, where applicant don’t afford to pay for travel, full time education and living expenses at all without simultaneously working, where no appropriate jobs are possible or available at all.

Canada dream. where is Modi?

Its nt all abt dreams ....m from punjab (india) ...employment situation here is only getting worse each passing year .....hardships wich students has to go thru all these ...most ppl know it from even landing in canada ....but its much better to work somewhere in mcd subway or wallmart in canada den being unemployed even after getting masters degre or phd in punjab ......

This is truly heartbreaking, I feel so sorry for International Students who came here with dreams but were given something far below that. I am a Canadian born student, brought up and raised in Brampton but I made friends with many international students. I don't understand how International students have to pay 3-4x our tuition, cover their living expenses, and have work restrictions on their study permit. The truth is competion is everywhere and companies are competing for top students who go to credible universites. I don't see how international students are suppose to compete with these students when there is a shortage of high-paying jobs. I truly feel bad. I advise students to tell their stories to their younger siblings and cousins back home and prevent them from living a hard-working life with little reward. Advise them to complete their studies back home and find a job in big cities back home. As a domestic student I struggle to pay for my own expenses and I could not imagine if I did not have my parents support. This is fraud on another level!!!

Assalamulikum how are sisters I’m from Bangladesh but leve Saudi Arabia my dream how can go Canada please help me thanks

the part where the one student in India is asked why he wants to go in Canada and he says he wants a white collar job and the life he dreamed of which I would imagine entails a Canadian wife as well? In other words, shouldn't Canada try to attract people to do work in building homes and things we need instead of rent seeking industries like banking, insurance etc... that doesn't improve the lives of Canadians already born here (and in some cases go generations back)

The schools are taking advantage of these students. Showing them a Canadian dream that isn't there

Sir .\nIt's my humble request to you please raise this issue and just god bless you for your support \n. I urge and pray to dear lord to give you health and prosperity to canada . \nHealthy minds and positive attitude is necessary during teaching. \nGod bless Canada the dream destination of many learners.

Especially jatts ruined Sikhi punjab and its can a din dream

Heartbreaking . Canada was once the land of opportunity for refugee's and immigrants from all lands . Sikhs and Punjabi have been proud Canadians since the early 19'th century . Labor contractors are lacking control and monitoring and law enforcements. I would never have dreamed Canada would exploit anyone .

An eye opener documentary. So many youngsters from punjab are being misled into the Canadian dream! Agents are exploiting their dreams for higher education and success!

It's only .00000001 % of Indians who have this dream..especially punjab..but population of India is so much..that even this fraction looks big..

That's why most people are moving to mixed-use developments because suburbs are sooooooo LONELY. I have been so lonely ever since I bought my dream house. It's YACK! I would rather live in an apartment complex where people interact easily.

Masha Allah sir g Allah apko mzeed traki ata kry Sir my dream for canada

Lol even Candian born people want to get out of Canada. When you put aside the mental bias you will realise moving to Canada NEVER made sense.\n\nThe Canadian government basically taking advantage of immigrant hopes and dreams for a better life to keep their struggle economy going...

Thanks for Great video I’m pleased that you both agreed that DREAMS can be achieved inside Canada

Honest review. I lived in ontario, better say Toronto. Car insurance, rent, work life balance. The good thing is the vibe and some basic things you don't fight alot to attain, the place is vividly. Their economic policies suppress growth people struggle to beyong and you must be equipped with many relevant skills apart from degree. What gives you money in Canada is your own business, risk jobs, most importantly your money source is coming from somewhere and you just invest there in houses, etc. \nThe country is nice and alot of events in the summer, but when the winter comes is really tough and you feel limited if you don't drive, if don't know places to socialise. The minimum wage is very low until this day. In reality everyone has an individual journey, and every experience may be completely different dispite any barriers they may achieve and make their dream come true, but still it will be a very small number.

Good for you returning home where you have security, peacefulness life and best healthcare ever. Why living in a shit hole country like Canada. Go back home where land of prosperity is, dreams can be achieved, the land of opportunities. Why staying here where less than half population have electricity and clean water. Go back home where you have 20% of earth’s freshwater.

One day the dream will happen

......and I'm here dreaming of relocating to Canada someday. Maybe I should remain where I am currently.

I kinda knew about this but not 100% in detail like you ladies explained. Thanks for sharing, good to know!!! Now, here’s my points: You are young and you have dreams and ambitions, which I see fine BUT be careful what you are wishing for, you may get it!!! It’s great to be in a country that cares about their citizens health and well-being!!! Also, these tax costs help to destroy the Poor-Family-Status!!! Meaning, nobody goes to starvation because government got your back. I think it’s a great place for working class family that want to live a normal live and not worries on how they will end up when they grow old. Come to USA and you will see how the medical field works, it is difficult!!! Your tax money goes into things you don’t even want to know sometimes. Don’t get me wrong, I love USA but it is not for everyone, same thing as Canada, not for everyone either. Canada is the northern section, it is cold!!! Not air pollution, beautiful!!!! I think you are USA material, come over, we need more Spartans soldiers, Uncle Sam welcome everyone with dreams and etc. Students loans will love you too in here. Nothing is perfect but remember, for a country to sustain it needs taxes from people to live well

Such good information. I always dream about moving to another place like Canada.

In 98 to o4 I lived in Vancouver it was a dream for me the west coast was amazing but I was very poor whilst living there. I left back to the U.K. and missed it a lot the west coast. I also don’t enjoy the U.K. way of life. Lovely people lovely place. But now I see the troubles in Canada I’m not sure no more. I’d rather live in Spain with the Sun and be poor. Best of luck to you

Mshallah Sister Ap ke Story Achi lagi. \nMeri Dream hai me Be Canada aakay Zindge Gozarow yha pe ae Shadi kro Apni Baki Life Yha pe Baser kro Pakistan me Gorbat Tenshan Lambi Lambi Sochay Roz Roz mer mer kay jetay hai. \nBus Dil kahta konsa time ho me Canada chala jahow koi Aay aur mujay apna Bina kay Lay jay umer bar kay Leay Wha.

People in the comments saying these young Nigerians are unpatriotic, and comparing them to the Ghanaian lady. Has the like of the 2020 #EndSars Massacre occured in Ghana before? Or are you saying the Nigerian youths who marched out that day because they dream of a greater nation are also unpatriotic? Its not a question of loyalty, when you don't feel valued or even safe at the minimum by your own people, so why try to guilt trip anyone? If your current vision of Nigeria is from as recent as 2015, I assure you that the Nigeria of 2022 isn't even close, maybe you need to go back home, earn in local currency and live there for awhile to understand their perspective. Home or abroad everyone can still contribute to the development of their country, so let people be. Lets avoid guilt tripping anyone because they've made choices they are fully entitled to.
