I am a professional teacher, can I use work permit to travel to canada? Pls I need more explanation

Leave the two people who come from France and focus on those who came here by millions “as students” but they are actually working professional jobs illegally with half price of a legal resident making people lose their jobs and yet are bringing all the village over with no controls whatsoever( this woman is not our issue.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could facilitate the return of our skilled Indian professionals. Your assistance in this matter would be deeply appreciated. ?

I don't get why the tears? I literally cannot go anywhere without a visa. A have professional qualifications in both commercial diving and paramedic, and still need to go through vigerous interviews when applying for USA holiday visa. Yet they crying (with no visa, no skillset on paper to offer, no money, no home to go back to) it needs to make sense?

Tit for tat is economic childishness, let it roll, and get a proper professional economist to run your policy. Take a short term hit, let trump dig his own grave. You cant have a rational fight with someone who is insane.

30% of Healthcare professionals are Filipinos, includes nurses, doctors, physical therapists and caregivers. They came here as legal workers. There are some overstaying but they are not criminals nor break the law of America, they only want to work. Pres. Trump should re-consider Filipinos, they are hard working people, they are professionals like IT’s, engineers, architects, etc. and help with the economy of America.

The USA has elected it's worst president in Donald Trump. I still don't see what translates to competence or professionalism in Trump. He may be a necessary figure to reset certain things. But he is going to harm America's socioeconomic status

Like yeah she’s transgender but like professional and qualified as someone can possibly be. If they do extensive physiological evaluations anyways who the hell cares what someone looks like.

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.

After the deportations..i trust US to open up for legal migration....so professionals should get ready

Back in the 80's, it was called professionalism. When you go to work, you don't wear a monkey suit, a bikini, or dress like the opposite sex. On your own time in your own home you can be, well, whatever.

Yeah, he looks professional

You know what I liked about Biden's Open Door Policy? It didn't exist. Truth is Biden's administration deported more illegals than Trumps first one, and Obama deported more than the two combined, but you didn't hear about them, why? Because they didn't take Victory Laps, they didn't use fear and hate as a political tool. Biden and Obama ran a Professional Operation, it wasn't half-assed, sloppy, or ham-fisted. And do you know what half-assed and sloppy creates? It creates Mistakes and breeds Escalation, that's what scares me the most. We've already seen the mistakes, legal citizens picked up, sooner or later, and probably sooner, the Escalation will come, somebody will do something really stupid and blood will start to spill.

Tariffs is money laundering a country's tax payers money only to have a pittance returned in tax breaks.....lmao Trump the professional russian money laundering king

reasons are: too many fake qualifications from India, overstaying, IT skills from India are being replaced with AI. Indians are no longer the poster child of highly skilled IT professionals.

As an Pakistani American, Indians in the US do very well. The ones coming to the US are professionals mostly. The Indian community does not always mingle though. But in reality waiting 250 days for an interview is ridiculous. I sure hope this does not have something to d with incoming administration and racist dog whistles.

Most of my professional career has been working for companies in the U.S.. I do find it frustrating to be surrounded by rudeness, ignorance, police sirens wailing at night.\nSometimes gunshots. But political ignorance is the big one. Had a later age man tell me that he was sure Canada was at war with the U.S. this was five years ago. He was adamant that I was wrong.

We have enough takeout and food court buisnesses.From all over the world!!!Bring back professional,middle class,canadian food,full service restaurants.That have more than 1 bathroom.

I’ve had personal experiences where I’ve struggled to connect with some Indians at work and felt excluded. While I try to remain polite and professional, these repeated interactions have left me with mixed feelings. I understand the importance of diversity and cultural inclusion, but I believe there also needs to be mutual respect and effort from everyone involved for integration to work. It’s not about banning anyone but fostering better understanding and collaboration.

India is a very important geopolitical country regardless of how modern politics unfolds between adverse relationships around the world. Professional Visas and customer service representative Visas may have created a reconsideration of Visas application requirements.

They want professionals to work not visitors or students.. My sister in-law waited 2 long years to see her husband who is working in the USA

If you don’t mind me commenting-both my professional experience and personal experience with Indian is very negative. They talk very good and when it comes to getting their hands dirty to get the job done, they are NO WHERE to be found!

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!

Indians themselves to blame. In New Zealand and Australia they used to be professionals from India but now 4/10 working in supermarkets billing, getting the ? back, subway are Indians loud, speaking their mother tongue ..major culprits are Punjabi, Hindi, Telugu and behave badly, bought to think western woman are easy. Here they smile everyone, smile and walk away. ladies here have very poor opinion on Indian men. Where is the cross cultural training ? India should not allow passports unless people pass cross cultural training

West Wont Answer what Madam ? Why they Rank Indian Passport so low???? I am an Indian who is living in Canada, we Indians really need lessons on honor decency professionalism and credibility, they have ruined Canada upside down, thrash everywhere unethical real estate trades, peeing on the road , pooping in the river ,my god the list goes on, as an indian myself i am feeling so much embarrassed , only assimilating high professional and character Indians should be allowed to travel abroad, i am glad that they are rejecting and the passport rating is so low

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.

Dear Palki, it clearly shows that our MEA is not functioning in professional manner and our diplomacy fails in these areas. As our passport ranking declining day by day. A massive overhauling is needed in External Affair ministry. Otherwise we will lose many things on world platform including our Indian image .

There’s a clear reason why visas are often denied to Indians, and it goes beyond just being smart. In today’s world, intelligence alone isn’t enough. As Indians, we need to focus on improving our physical presentation, practicing good hygiene even outside our homes, and developing essential interpersonal skills. Punctuality is also key, it shows respect for others’ time. Instead of blaming Western countries for their perceptions, we should consider adopting some good aspects of their culture that align with professionalism and global standards. These changes can help create a better impression and open more opportunities for us.

You want to develop but you don't want your professional to stay in your country to work loll

Go to China, there is no racial discrimination there. Chinese universities train professionals with real-life knowledge, Chinese companies hire educated talent, and Chinese people treat every visitor with enthusiasm and an open mind.

Romanian here, with 8 years in Germany, still debating if a citizenship is worth the effort though I use German both at my work place and for regular tasks. \nMy opinion is that Germany has a chaotic approach to absorbing skilled workers. \nI agree completely with the statement that this approach led it to absorb, far more easily, unskilled and, a lot of times, problematic immigrants rather than skilled professionals. I see this happening in communities and online groups. This also contributes to social and political backlash. \nCombining economy issues, social backlash, decreasing purchasing power and pressure on housing, Germany is becoming less attractive by the hour for skilled workers.

*Sigh* ? Absolutely appalled. This just highlights the customer's disappointment with life. Oops, better not assume their gender! ? The employee was just doing his job and staying professional. It’s wild that the customer recorded the whole thing like it’s the worker's fault. ?‍♂️

Lots of indians in the philippines...they are students and professionals..

I went through this twice during COVID. Two tenants stopped paying one after the other and lost over 50k. Sadly, the only option is to take her to small claims court but in order to do that you need an eviction order and sheriff documents. Even if he does get to that point, they can o lay garnish her wages and at that point, she can avoid paying and jump from place to place changing addresses info and job details. Professional renters know the system and they work it to screw the landlords. One tenant I had actually believed that if they rent the house they “own the home”. Even if you call the police they won’t do anything. If the government just allowed the police to arrest and charge these people I think it would help but they don’t. It’s horrible. I’m actually thinking of selling my home because of the financial burden it’s been post COVID. I have good tenants now but only after using most of the equity to pay off the damage and missed rent from the last 3 tenants….

No problem,let them come to our country,they are not lazy people, they are hard working professional,let them contribute to our economy.I am proud Indian.

As an Algerian registered nurse planning to immigrate to Canada, I'm disappointed with the immigration system. Many skilled professionals like us invest years in education and training, only to face a system that prioritizes quantity over quality. While we aim to contribute meaningfully, we're left hanging, unfairly blamed for issues like housing and cost of living. The misleading ads only add to the frustration.\n\nI hope Canada resolves the immigration and housing crises—not just for future immigrants like me, but because Canadians deserve the best. Sending love to a beautiful country! ??❤️??

It’s called Professional tenant. They know how to ripoff the Landlord and how to go around the criminal friendly system.

What bothers me the most is how Canada prioritizes low skill workers over high skilled. Came here 2 years ago on work permit, both wife and I are tech professionals with over 10 years of work ex in global organizations. I honestly wouldn't mind going back to India or any other country once my visa expires as I know my skills are enough to land a job anywhere (got a job in 1.5 months here). Value add to the economy must also be kept in mind while choosing your permanent residence by the government, how it works in US.

A nice down to earth gentleman brings you your food, you don't have two good words for him !! \nI'd give you $20 bucks back because you're very poor. Send me your details.\n\nMan is making honest living and doesn't get mad after so much ? You'd watch out, this guy may become someone important.\n\nBeta laal mehnat karo. Yeh khud royenge.\n\nYou poor thing, on your death bed there will be many healthcare professionals, for sure more than one will be Indian, they'll still treat you well, you'll feel bad that day but he will be doing better that day.

Unfortunately it is not true that a majority of the Indians are highly qualified. To be honest many of the Indian students here have poor communication skills and questionable qualifications. What is needed is a more careful selection process. I know of some Indians who are highly trained well educated and an asset to Canada especially in the health and tech fields. At the same time I see many who are not able to pass basic language tests let alone professional examinations.

Most of the Indian students have fake CREDENTIALS made in India yet they have received Acceptance Letters abroad.\nJust like in India every thing is fake. Canada must STOP student immigration NOW only professionals like doctors are needed but they should be re-tested and under go retraining to ensure they too are not Fraud or revoke their licenses.

Hubertus Heil. Lots of incompetent people in german key positions. Plus the traditional arrogance of german company HR offices, not to talk about burocracy. Germany at the bottoom of a skilled and experienced professional. Have worked in 17 countries. Germany really ranks last.

he trained well. a true professional. he went zen mode

A lot of medical professionals move south, private practice pays better. But if we need care from a miscarriage, we can get it without dying waiting for Dr’s to be Dr’s. Women have control over their bodies here, so I don’t think Pollieve is going to get elected based on who he sides with.

AI Generated Voice? Why @FirstPost? are you guys financially poor to hire a professional human voice narrator?

Problem is the professionals are leaving in droves and the free loaders are staying behind. Get rid of them.

Customer is a clown ? \n\nWell done young man who delivering he stay calm and handle it professionally.

Choose whoever gets the residency. Skilled workers and professionals need to be prioritized.

Not only immigrants! But Canadian born too! My Canadian born children; both highly educated professionals, emigrated on permanent resident visas to the U.S. in 2016. Very happy living and working in Sunny, Silicon Valley, CA. Now U.S. citizens! Never to come back ! Only to visit their parents!

Thanks ladies. I have a person from Serbia who I hired many years ago. He is a professional and one of the best people I have ever employed. He h& his wife understood what it took to come to Canada. There was no easy path for them but they perserveered. They both have succeeded & are a great part of Canada now.
