Leave canada and come back ! \nThey will not do it ...why ?\nStrength of indians with better skills will increase , and thekedar of one particular community will get overwhelmed.

Not entirely accurate. It's pro-wealthy immigration here in Canada absolutely. It's citizenship for sale. Not necessarily wealthy in terms of really wealthy (like Switzerland) but it's definitely citizenship for sale, so if you don't have money, don't bother. Newcomers with medical and engineering expertise can't get jobs here in Canada, in spite of our healthcare system being on the point of collapse and our supposed hi-tech push. Regulatory boards here have made it impossible. Estimates are around 175000 qualified, internationally trained doctors and nurses who gave up trying to practice here and moved into other careers. Ukrainian doctors, for eg, with extensive trauma experience and willing to staff our emergency departments have been told they have to requalify by going to Canadian medical school to retrain for at least 4 years. Same story in engineering. By IT, our government seems to mean low-paid call center IT work, moving the IT sweatshop racket from India onto Canadian soil. If you can afford to buy a business - I believe the total business investment was 500 000 pre-pandemic - that's another way in. Not sure if thats gone up now. So many of our franchise businesses are essentially being used as citizenship tickets. The big ticket item: If you can afford 4 years of postgraduate or undergrad university program, or 3 to 4 year college program - and if you don't have the cash, loan sharks in India will distribute debt across the whole family for decades so one student can go . There us a very good documentary by an Indian filmmaker on the Canadian college/University recruitment drive in India and its consequences. Several of our colleges have student enrollments at over 70% of the entire student body, direct entry from India. Additional problems like grade inflation, different education standards, and outright fraud on ESL testing also mean that Indian students are not well prepared for school here. Many do not have enough English to succeed in their studies. They either need to spend for additional tutoring, take a qualifying year or two ESL (on top of the 3 or 4 program), or fail courses. Universities and colleges keep the tuition though. Honestly our colleges and universities are staying afloat because of Indian students. They're being treated like cash cows - and Indian recruiters are scamming the system, taking fees on their end with unsuspecting students getting falsified documents, or being told they passed their ESL when they didn't. It's a national disgrace. I'm a prof here, I've seen all of this firsthand. Your data may be correct, but the narrative you've constructed for it is not the real picture.

@polymatter: \nI have enjoyed your videos for a long time. You do great job in explaining the finer details.\nThis video particularly hits hard to me as I am Indian living in USA on a H1B visa. I did my masters here in US and have been working for past 5 yrs, in total 7 years. My company just initiated my i140 application which will take around 3 yrs to complete then the wait for GC will start for 15yrs (for Indians only). During this time we are at the employers mercy. We do get high salaries. But we are in a perpetually limbo. Its hard to find a spouse, start a family or invest in property as your future here is uncertain. \n\nThe H1B lottery system was introduced to keep the selection fair, as there are limited number of applications accepted each year. Hence it is a gamble for immigrants wanting to come here to study and work. The chance of getting H1B is almost 50/50. H1B visa is a temporary work visa, it was designed to be applicable for 3-4yrs until one gets the GC. But because of GC country backlog folks are on it for 15-20yrs.\n\nThe Greencard country limits were introduced in 2009 as the US government felt they needed diversity in the country. They were scared that US will be filled with Indians and Chinese immigrants. Hence the country caps on each country on GC. So if one is born in Nepal, Sri Lanka or Pakistan they get their GC within 1-3 yrs. Where as Indians need to wait 15-20yrs. But here is the wired part, they only consider the country of birth NOT citizenship. Ex: My friend was born in Oman and was raised in India, he is Indian and has Indian citizenship. He got his GC in 1 yr. \n\nThese H1B policies are not a priority to the US government as H1B folks do not have voting rights. They do not have any incentives to change the legacy policies. And we as immigrants in US have no voice except to sit back and pray we get lucky. \n \nThanks for shining a light on this issue. Appreciate it!!

It was so interesting to see the Pakistani couple scheming so hard to just find a way to get out of Pakistan the man cunningly schemed even in marrying a Pakistani girl,who will study in Australia & the guy will piggyback her to follow to Australia & scheme even to get his parents into Australua, whereas Indians only want to further their careers & maybe return to India in future.

Where did you get your numbers of PR for 2022 from? Just went to the .gov stats and it's 280k in just the Q4 of 2022. For the whole 2022, it's 4 times more. This means that per capita the difference between Canada and the US is 2x-3x.\n\nAs for H1B, 80-90% are taken by Indians, and this year, 2023, an average number of petitions per each was 3.\nIt's a system being gamed by Indian companies who supply lower quality but cheaper workforce to SV.\n\nHow can you even make a video without doing basic fact checking?

8:15 there’s a reason for this. It’s a melting pot in America. Bringing all these different cultures together… but if too many from one country show up, they’ll make a community too large that they don’t need to melt with the population. There are Chinatowns and Little Italys and whole Mexican communities, but ultimately everyone has to interact with everyone else. Allowing 300,000 Indians to get green cards every year and only 1,000 Norwegians would lead to the Norwegians merging well with the country, while the Indians would all move to one or two cities and make entire sections of the cities like small versions of their own country. Which is the last thing we want. Once an immigrant community gets enough power to be a voting block, things are scary, but once it has enough power that they start getting their own representatives and passing laws for the rest of us? Laws the look like laws they had back in their own countries… that led them to run from their countries in the first place? It’s a concern. We want people to adapt to the USA and not try to adapt the USA to them. Over time, the US does change due to the growing voting blocs. But that’s after generations of those immigrant populations getting larger, and their children being born and raised in the country they’ve adapted to. When I see a protest of Muslim immigrants burning pride flags, or Chinese and Spanish-speaking Hispanic immigrants who never bothered to learn English, I see problems with our immigration system. But the kids of the Arab immigrants will be more tolerant, and the Hispanic kids will have grown up in American schools. Most Chinese-American kids might speak some Chinese at home with their parents, but they’re worse at it, and their first language is English. It takes second Generation immigrants to really start meshing with America. But if entire school districts are all Indian, and every store, restaurant, and business in a whole town is Indian, then those kids won’t adapt to America. They won’t get bits of their home culture from their time at home and with their neighbors, while also getting bits of American culture from their classmates and other people around them. Nope. They’ll only be exposed to the first Generation who completely took over the area- IF, we allowed for unfettered immigration from the largest countries. It’s a fact that immigrant communities like to stick together. But if not enough people are in that community that you need to reach out to others around you, it helps expose you to the rest of America… Anyway! There are a ton of shows that indirectly show this phenomena. Fresh Off the Boat. The Sopranos. Even Brooklyn 99. We see as traditional and hard-to-adapt parents have to deal with kids in the next generation who are more American, don’t follow the same customs and traditions as their parents, and overall just left more of their old culture behind. No one is asking that immigrants abandon their cultural ties, but if you come to America, there are things that people need to change and accept if they’re going to live here.

Maybe if you're Indian you should get Norwegian citizenship first and then apply for American?

I never realized how lucky my family was to get citizenship as quickly as we did. We got our green card months after applying in 2017 and we're Indian.

This is an INACCURATE and SHALLOW video. Just because America is doing it wrong, doesn’t mean we’re doing it right. \n\n1) Canada (we) are accepting immigrants because of a wider tax base (increasing older population) and projections for where we need people. The key word is projections and it clearly is not showing well; just read today’s Globe and Mail. \n\n2) There are 500-600 applicants per job in tech, and we are going through massive layoffs. We will never have the tech sector of London or SF because we are more conservative and smaller in population. \n\n3) Housing has become INSANE as you mention. It’s in the papers every day for the past few years, without any solution. \n\n4) We have no coherent view of immigration, and no surprise, we’ve had four ministers in the past 6-7 years with none of them doing a great job. \n\nOur beautiful country Canada is basically prostituting itself for international students fees and low wage jobs without any plan. In the maritimes you have tons of Indians who are just there to get the expedited PR in low wage jobs then move somewhere else where they’ll bring their elderly family over. \n\nGood layout of the system. https://thewalrus.ca/how-immigration-really-works/

As an Indian national just starting the employment stage in America after my Master's degree here, this hits hard. There are also other drawbacks I'm experiencing, like employers prefering Citizens/PR over us for entry/mid level jobs. So here I am, wasting my limited 3 years, paying a fortune in rent just to get employed and begin an even greater struggle.

I work in tech and need to mention the negatives of H1B even though having tons of highly skilled workers would be nice for country.\n\nThe first issue is that H1B workers are happy with accepting lower pay for relevant position so long as they get opportunity to get a company sponsor. This causes a downward pressure on wages obviously.\n\nSecond is they are also VERY obedient Caste like stuff going on between Indians or absolute silence from East Asians on anything that needs to change. This causes management expectations from workers to be skewed against citizen workers.\n\nThird, they are only here short time to earn as much as possible, even some I know shared a 1 bedroom between 2 people just to hoard as much as they make cause when they go back to their country it means they are rich. So they work 24/7 and causing company expectations to be unrealistic for citizen workers.

Hinduism is really getting out of control man (in indian voice) buahahaha ????????

I used to travel a lot for my studies \nAs Indian myself i am so sorry to say we will take long way to change \n I see foreigners well behaved in flight following rules speaking less \nBut if its crowded with indian (mostly educated ones)their will be gossiping aunties in their high class english roaming here and there even the air hostesses get tired informing them … even in international earlines they behave like an indian train…\nCompartment meh saman rkhne ke liye bhi behes krte hai (like ek bolega maam aap next wale compartment meh rkhiyega n the reply aata hai tu kon hota hai?)

Just a message to all Indians. Please keep the street fights in the streets itself. If you are travelling in the skies, please be matured. Or else, our image will get spoilt??????

Indians get mad and want to fight over words all the time but the thing is they can't fight and that's really funny

Brut just try to upload indian train fights you would never get short of content ?

Indian gets strength by speaking in English when they fight funny indians???

Sadly the Indian parents all knew and play along as long don’t get caught , scammer and fraudulent at it finest out of India ?

Indians know very well that they are the real scammers. They are not the victims. Good job. I hope even more people get deported like them.

Normal practise to deport fraudulent applications. Just that the majority of these fraudulent applications are from India. India being one of the most corrupt countries in the world....this is normal for Indians to talk BS to get what they want.

The government, the colleges and the landlords are getting rich from the savings of thousands of indian farmers, how ironic life is.

WE ARE ISRAELITES ALONG WITH NEGROS AND AMERICAN INDIANS\nWE SHALL RULE WITH BLACK CHRIST AS IT IS WRITTEN GET READY YOU HATERS OF OF US ISRAELITES ??????????????????

This is funny because I get a lot of stupidness from Indian people in Canada

Chinese and Indian contribute immensely to the US economy, specially Indians who are mostly active in STEM fields, yet they have to wait the longest to get permanent residency.

we are giving to much support/money to ukraine //haiti and other countries if we are not debt free than we have no money to spare. seniors getting 725.00 a month pension after working for 55 years in canada we should be getting double that.don,t count cpp,in that ,as a working person i paid half of money collected,my emploer paid the other haf //did the gov,t help no..we need help now ,yippee i just got an adjustment of 4.00 a month milk went up more than this. wake up mps we neeedhelp now.. time to reduce mps back to 265,make indians work no more treaty payments..tired of giving bums money

If this video wasn't about Canada you could very well believe that this video was about Australia. We are pretty much the same. There are too many selfish idiots in this country who want to get rich quick through property investing. As a result of this everyone is mortgaged up to their eyeballs in debt. People think that owning investment properties means you're some sort of god. If we didn't have any resources our entire economy would be focussed on building homes. The thing is, the houses that builders build in this country are terrible. They don't insulate well, the materials used are crap, the workmanship is poor. People on average now take out mortgages 6-7x their income. To keep property booming we open the floodgates for immigrants. The societal landscape of our country is changing for the worse. Looking around Melbourne and Sydney, most people are either Chinese or Indian now. These people run away from their countries (which they think are crap compared to the West) and then they buy houses here resulting in people born in Australia losing out.\n\nThe entire thing is a god damn ponzi scheme.

big problem with the housing is also trudeau taking in so many immigrants and refugees before having enough available housing for everybody. I think they were taking in 200k people a year. while we need atleast 1million new houses within the next 10 years in order to supply enough to the population. There was also an issue with forieign purchases where people from other countries were buying houses in canada and nobody living in them. Trudeaus votes comes from majority indian people and arabic since thats a lot of the population in canada, and to win those votes and get more hes friendly with them accepting a lot of immigrants from those countries, its not a bad thing since a lot are very well educated and their peaceful people for the most part, but the problem is there isn't enough housing. Even renting has become competitive , owning is near impossible without help. Trudeau really messed up the country, houses are riduclously expensive and they often go into bidding wars if in a good area, banks interest rates keep going up now, loans are harder to take out, sadly we need to limit the amount of immigrants that come into the country until the right number of houses are built in the country, if anything new and major cities need ot be build in other locations with jobs in order to get more people spread out around the provinces. Once there is enough houses and jobs i believe the doors should be open to whomever wishes to come (obviously with a background check) but until then there should be a limit so the houses stop going up.

now UK will get a dose of the medicine which we Indians have to face on a much wider scale. wake up UK, the problem is real.

Good that they bomb rushed the border, they need to leave all their contries,you know that el'chapos son or brother had got bombed with RPG's before biden and them visited over there and is still been cartel wars get very worst est el'chapo family got targeted and for the U.S to act like they dont know what's going and wanna say why ,this is just like in Ukraine when all them people was fleeing that war but the black africans was restricted from the boats and airplanes and was told that the rides was not there for them,they owe them and the U.S didnt keep they word to them they know that that trump band was ended ,and also if they did go through the correct ports of entry and was still denied entry ,the U.S are devious people,a land that they stole from the Indians then put up borders and telling other races and groups that they cant come in ,its not their land to dictate and control and say who can and who cant come here,half of the U.S belongs to mexicans and latinos and hispanics and also indians the real native Americans so sad that this is even going on like this,they owe them to keep their word to them,white supremacy is real ?? !

Miserable situation,\nYou talk about a country that never or barely accepted Quebec because of the language barriere despite Quebec being the oldest 400+ years old province/city in Canada.\nEven born and raised in Montreal and 100% Canadian will get you in arguments for that alone.\nLook at karma now,\nNow Mandarin and Punjabi are more official than French.\nNever saw the Indians buying everything and getting janitor jobs until they become manager then hiring only Indians,\nLive in Vancouver and lease a land in Kelowna and Indians are the biggest now.\nThey are invading Vernon now more and more.\nLets see in 10 years from now,

Everyone saying get them Out of the u.s blah blah, I’m sure the Indians felt the same way.

White folks steal the land from the Indians and killed them & now you upset cause they trying to get in too...\nSTFU

Ask someone who’s for open borders: “so how many immigrants should we let in? 10 million? 100 mill? Half a billion? What do you think a healthy US population is?”\n\nIncreased population causes increased competition, why do you think the Chinese or Indians get paid a few $$ a day? Perfect way to get Americans working for nothing.

Student loans scams in private colleges. Cdi college national scams . Using immigrants to get their student loans I return for scamming them and treating them like filth . Search for stories on YouTube. \nThen Vancouver community college scams. Their president has Indian name and is not Indian . Treating ppl like dirt on visa status. Canada has too many scams in the name of private post secondary education. Careful

Canada getting slaves. Replacing the Indians

Canada is turning to shit, mainly due to our completely shitty corrupted Government. There's also a full scale East Indian invasion ongoing... it's getting worse.

Unethical Indian recruiters??? So it’s not only job seekers getting screwed too!

U being zimba bveyan ur country is a heaven on earth. Thrs hse thrs fd n clothing but u may not get excellent education. So Home land is a heaven on earth I feel, especially for Africas n Indians??

Funny how the Media takes what is real And twists the story to the people .......This guy was NOT an Immigrant This is an Illegal Alien that lied and smuggled him And others into the USA and was there for many years And left the USA by Smuggling once again himself and others into a 2nd country So he has lied Im sure has false documents And one of the reasons he was denied How was he able to work with an expired permit? Taxes? so there is a few more broken laws And if he hurts himself ..The tax payer flips the bill ........And while you might think I'm racist His country has not less that 15 other countries around his ...Any yet they flock to the USA And Canada ...It has nothing to do with how nice And proud it would be to be an American Or Canadian They want our way of life They want to be Equal Untill They are required to lose something like a turban riding a motorcycle instead of a hulmult Then gets into a crash And yup You pay the brain injury bills ...There is a counsel trying to slowly get Punjab words on city street names And products in an Ontario city that has more Indian residents than any other culture While complaining to the city of overcrowded parks And the garbage in them..Overcrowded and polluted Now where have i heard that before....

Years ago, a low level employee in Indian consulate (San Francisco) deliberately kept giving me the run around. I finally hinted official complaint to Embassy in New York, including legal action. Within a week my documents were Fedexed (prepaid) to my address. ?\n????????\nWhy do some people in position getting salary and try to boss innocent applicants who provide complete requirements? Why?\n?????????\n(The person in charge had already approved my documents and passed on to assistant to gather and mail it. Things got stuck from there???. Had I complaint this person may be fired, I guess?. )\n??????????\nPlease review on employee attitudes and performances sometimes. ??????. Please keep offices on profesional level at all times.???

You are being sold the American dream 2.0.\nThen you come here and take our jobs and make renting a place harder.\nThat's. That's what ya do.\n\nBut we don't need ya here. You are not. Providing..\nyou are taking delivery jobs and fast food jobs.\nWhat used to be jobs for canadioan teens to make a future.\nAre now being occupied by indian adults who are paying student loanbs and living illegaly 10 to an aprtment.\nYou do not integrate into our culture or rules.\nYou bring yours.\nThis is not India.\nThis is not India. Okay? You come to Canada. Become Canadian.\nWe speak english. That means you learn english. That's the deal. That's the trade off.\nYou want a job here, to perform customer service. yeah? Paycheck?\nEnglish.\n\nI'm white. I am minority. Actually. Not even joking. Any bus I get on, I am the minority.\nIt's an indian invasion these 5 years.\nThose without student debt. Come here and send the money back home with bleeds our economy.\nI get it, our bank system is mafia style and falwed You get no interest.\nIndian banks pay 12% interest on your holdings.\nI get it.\nEvery min wage job you bleed from our economy is like getting overpaid for an equal job in India. Why wouldn't you take advantage of our open border policy?

I know it's not 100% safe in Canada. I've watched Murdoch Mysteries! ???\n\nYeah, when I moved to a city city, I saw the segregation. I grew up in a small town. I was friends with everyone. We didn't have a lot Indians and Africans though sadly. In school, with the exception of Asians, unless you're going by specific country, there was a token (poc) for each ethnicity in all the classes until roughly Junior high. So sad. We got rid of segregation in the south, but we didn't get rid of segregation in the country.

14:34 No, cultures live separately because they don’t initially get along, they are too different to do so. A prime example of this was the West End Boston. There were so many people of so many different cultures living there that the crime was so high and the solution the city came up with at the end of the 1950’s and into the early 1960’s was to tear the whole section of the city down and build it up again into something new. So, the first generations of immigrants into the US staying amongst themselves is actually a good thing, it’s because they’re too different to get along. Only the later, more Americanized generations can intermingle with far less problems. Same thing was true when the colonists were trying to live among the Indians, too many cultural differences lead to many, many, MANY conflicts, and they were initiated on both sides.

welcome to the melting pot where everyone in the pots is separated like oil and water. sure we are all here, but we tend not to mix or if we do it is through a bunch of rigorous effort to try to mix and when it settles we just go back to what it was before. SO sad for sure.. definitely wish that was not the case and only the food areas were the separation for if you want greek, italian, indian, mexican, puerto rican. chinese, japanese, soul food etc. Coming from chicago I get to see all the different food styles and places but again it is so true that things are way different from canada to here. Maybe in like 10 years some things will change, but as we all know change takes time.. and time is something we don't have much of so enjoy it and hopefully when I go see my buddy in canada I will get to see the differences you all are talking about. cheers gents.

Chick Fil-A is mid. One thing I do like about living in Columbus OH, is that there are a lot of spots where you can get authentic(or close to) meals from other countries. There's some good African, Chinese, Thai, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese places.

As a new yorker the women thing is 100% facts. All these females either got 4 kids, sound like battle rappers drink henny and smoke bud 24/7 or got an attitude problem. Florida worse they all burning. I lived all over the US and our women straight trash. They all think they Lizzo Cardi B and the Kardashians. I went to Toronto for Caribana a couple times and yo the women were nice, in shape, did their makeup nice and were cool and welcoming as hell.... And being a West Indian if you dont live in NYC or Miami/Orlando you aint getting Caribbean food anywhere period. You gonna have to Amazon yourself some curry powder to Lousiville Kentucky

I have said some negative things and felt some negative things about Indians and I'm big enough to admit that, because at the same time I couldn't help but to get amused by scambaiting. Therein and from a apparent stoking of hatred and animosity these days I've been seeking to better understand the true sentiments and circumstances of Indians, and where the so called bad bed side manner comes from. I say this because a lot of people I've spoken too find Indians rude, and I can see why, if I were exploited, how would I feel. We are all human and I hate to see peoples dreams and or weakness exploited.

As an Indian, I feel ashamed on behalf of these students who leave the country of opportunities to somewhere far only to get disappointed. If India has the potential to get me a good life, I am sure these students could have done better by staying back :(

Why are these Indians so desperate to get into Canadian universities? Is the education system in India so bad?

Every single Indian wants to leave India and get out,,why? What is the reason?
