The Case for Fairness: Student Visas and Permanent Residency in Canada\n\nCanada is known for its welcoming attitude towards international students, who come to study and gain valuable skills. However, recent protests by some foreign students demanding permanent residency (PR) raise important questions about the purposes of study permits and immigration policies.\n\nThe primary intention of a student visa is to allow individuals to pursue education. While the experience gained in Canada can enhance future career prospects, it should not give rise to expectations of automatic residency. Granting PR based on educational status could undermine the integrity of Canada’s immigration system and set a precedent that might attract individuals solely interested in residency rather than education.\n\nThe government must uphold the rules governing student visas and immigration. Students are encouraged to focus on their studies and contribute positively to Canadian society during their time here. After their studies, it is fair that they return to their home countries, equipped with new knowledge and skills.\n\nBy maintaining a clear distinction between study permits and immigration pathways, the Canadian government can ensure that the system remains fair and just for all. It is essential to support international students while also encouraging respect for the legal frameworks in place.

But that's Justin's plan. Make all new economic migrants dependent on the Liberal Party of Canada for their existence. Tax Legacy Canadians into poverty and make them dependent too.

Read Wilful Blindness by Sam Cooper and you will find out everything you need to know about Canada. If you're Canadian you have to read it.

As a Canadian myself, what I don’t understand is why the heck would you want more people in country when 1 some places in Canada don’t have clean water, 2 rent/taxes are just way to high to sustain two people for food. Even the indigenous population hasn’t even had proper help in a long time. Sucks that one moment the government was helping looking at old residential schools only to stop once media stop covering it. I don’t care that they come to our country but you at the very least gotta respect our time and culture here, rather than expecting everyone to bend a knee to their needs. Just my two cents

I remember being proud to be a canadian. Now it feels like an embarrassment and it feels like we're just a complete joke to the rest of the world.. we're completely taxed dry, broke, desperate and lost our culture and identity.

What is Canadian culture? American culture without guns.

Centuries ago, amerindians where invaded by canadians, today, their cousins from India are coming back. This is the karma.

im witnessing the literal decline of canada first hand. as a canadian im trapped.i dont have enough cash to get out but my plan is to save up and leave soon. canada is a lost cause

Liberals Prime Minister a failure Justin Trudeau ruined Canada. The entire immigration is broken and a joke under Trudeau. 75 percent of Canadians want Trudeau to resign right now. At this point Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is the only hope for Canada and he will the next Prime Minister of Canada.

I was in Richmomd BC 15 years ago. Two years ago I returned and it looked like China and India.\nThe native Canadian European can't buy a home.

If you plan properly and eligible as per critieria set by canadian express entry authorities while entrering the pool , canada is easy for you .\nOnly 20 pct things what these two people said is correct rest every thing is garbage .

I was just saying to a friend recently Indians have degraded the standards of everything, including the banks, the food industry, and everything they can put their hands on. Cibc and Scotiabank used to be open on the weekends now you can't even go there to do businesses all becuase they have degraded the standards of the banks ihop food is way below standards the only things they are doing right is building decent houses. Shame on our government for doing this to the hard-working canadian who feel like this is not our home anymore

Becaused they listen to stupid lies from a scheming government. What did they all think they could increase the population by 1/3 over 20 years and prices wouldnt go up? That housing wouldnt become an issue? That there wouldnt be enough firefighters or fire stations yo support the needs of all these new people? They come here specifically to not assimilate and make a mini version of the country they just fled. Because yhey were told it was better here so istead of acting like canadians they bring their same customs and attitudes here because it worked so well for them in their country right? Definition of insanity. Or they are trying to assist them in making everyone poor. Either way they are either doing it maliciously or willfully igborant of the glaring issues they currently face because of their actions. Or i guess they will face after yhe government atops giving then ny tax payer money to subsidize everything for them

I am Indian & I feel sorry for you and somewhat understand your problem... The Canadian Government need to do something about this

There is no longer any housing for Canada’s poor! The houses have all gone to immigrants while Canadians are forced into the streets.

You know nothing about canada, it's your own opinion. Interview someone who is experienced in Canadian life as well as government system, otherwise your information is totally have no meaning, per capita income in Canada is $55000 per anum, in India per capita income is $2500, in India 0.8 billion on hunger line if not getting 5 kg ration support. Whàt a foolish conversation.

I’m Canadian. Live in Toronto all my life. I don’t worry about too much immigration. It’s become so expensive to live here that it will naturally deter people from settling here.

Canadians: Why are we always ignored? Whenever Canadians are ignored they start denigrating America and they won't stop complaining until you say Canadians are better than Americans..

Immigration is doing more harm then good and I hate throwing them to the wolves, but I cannot STAND the look on my mom's face because we cannot afford a permanent home. We are a nuclear 4 person family and doing OUR BEST, it's insane we built our lives here, I was fucking born here, and we've gotten our rent raised higher then homes costed a decade ago. \nWhen all this population growth imposes on MY quality of life, bet your fucking ass I'm bitter. I wouldn't have as many qualms if we could house Canadians AND immigrants but it's evident we can't!\nAnd!!!!! Call me fucking racist if you must, but immigrants, INDIANS, have a lack of respect for Canadian culture and Canadians in general! And it gets under my skin when they ignore our national anthem and land acknowledgments. Why live in a country and not, acclimate to the culture! You live here now! You are Canadian if you intend to make residence here! \nThe lack of respect is audacious.

Canadians have the funniest accents, LMAO.

if u stop immigration bank balance of canadian government left zero

Mam Maine suna h 85percent people are from India there. Canadians are now minority there. Yeh sahi h kya.

What ever problems you showed in the video is only related to International Students. But at the same time when International students come to Canada to study not to settle. When CBSA always asked them how long is your study and what would you do after your studies are completed. Every student would tell them that they will go back to their country once their student work permit is finished. Then CBSA will allow you to enter Canada. Go tell them when you come to airport that you wanna stay here for ever they will kick you out right away. I don't know why students are protesting when they knew the rules for students are different from other categories. And it is changing every year. The problem is international students not the Canadian Govt. Indians know this is the easy way to get into Canada. Canada is a free country to everyone there is no discrimination . I have seen 50 year people from India coming to Canada for study but actually they want to settle here. Drugs problem is everywhere in the world. India also has druggists and mafias. Indian are in much better condition here than India. Fresh air, clean water, work and personal life balance, free health care, Freedom to live and work any where ...Canadian passport is Top 5 in the world. India don't come close to Canada. so please don't mislead people on the you tube

with 7 lakh canadian dollars.. u can buy villa in india n put rest in fixed deposit..

I am Canadian I do like to go to the USA I own a small cabin in Washington state I have traveled into many states. The people have been really nice . But I love Canada but we do have bad places and people in Canada as in the USA. Our crime rates are lower in Canada but I don't hang out with bad people. Rodney

I live in Ontario, Canada. This is the reality of Canada. Everything is so true. NOT A PROUD CANADIAN ?.

The elite class politicians have finessed Canadians. For every Indian here there is money being made. The greatest scam in Canadian history. Trudeau should be in jail for treason. He and his cronies have done the damage, made billions and will retreat wealthier than ever!

Hatchet job articles and videos from highly partisan, pro-conservative rags like nat-post still ask, when will Trudeau fix the problem?\n\nDon't be fooled. These rags have succeeded and killed the liberal government. What they should be asking is, why does the incoming PM, PP still aggressively support mass immigration, limitless foreign students, and temporary foreign workers in cringe-worthy rally after rally? Especially those for a specific ethnic diaspora. \n\nWell, of course, we're supposed to ignore that just long enough to get him elected and then..... what? I guess they just make things worse as promised? Of course.\n\nThere is no daylight between cons and libs on this issue. Both are totally bought and corrupted by the corporate interests, which depend on mass immigration to keep suppressing Canadian wages and inflating asset bubbles.

This is justin trudeau's Canada. Maybe you guys should ask your own government why they conspire to keep him in power by influencing candidate selection and voting in Canadian elections.

Trudeau is just flooding the country with immigrants just to buy more votes cause all Canadians don't trust him anymore \n\nThe Canadian can't find home or anything yet we're addind million of people in the country, we need to fix our issues before making others come over. Here

Dear Abhi, I am canadian PR. I attest to the facts presented in this video. Students are suffering and it feels bad to see and witness their ordeal. Healthcare is so bad that I have stories of surgery done wrong and person almost died. Colossal level of mis-management is going on in this country. I am professional and at executive level in corporation, still half the time in a year I struggle to keep up with expenses. I am re-considering my decision to stay in this country. If some student is reading this please think 100 times before you come to Canada.

Well researched video and absolutely true. I would also add that canada is housing casino for foreign investors with money into Canadian real estate to clean their money while making huge profits running arbnb business, room rentals, flipping homes, having multiple home while not even Canadian citizen or barely living in Canada. Billions of dollars laundered money have been pumped into Canadian real estate fron abraod especially in past 15 years through casinos and other loop holes. Government is corrupt and is fully aware of it but tries to play blind because who can win against real estate mafia? Making fool if people with demand and supply which actually well engineered by the government. Simple fact- with insane mass immigration supply can never be enough and housing can never be affordable. So Canada is a big real estate casino facilitated by the government as they have minimum sources to increase GDP being a consumer society where goods are imported. Same way people are imported to keep running the economic machine as people are considered as asset to generate taxes. More people, more transactions, more tax collection. It is not a self sustainable country as there is no atmosphere for organic growth. \nWealthy Canadian are cashing the assets and moving to other countries like Mexico etc

I am in my 50’s, make $120k a year, owe about half that, rented, was just evicted when it doubled, am living in my car. If I disappear you’ll know why. But no one will notice because every fast food restaurant, every grocery store, every gas station, every townhouse, new condo, duplex and single family home is now owned by Indians, Muslims and Asians. I am a 4th generation white Canadian. We will all be living in tent cities soon. Trudeau destroyed our country. Destroyed.

Bro, those problems you mentioned in your video it’s not only in Canada also in UK, Australia and other countries too.\nThe way you attacked Canada it seems like you have some personal issue with this country. Probably you got denied for Canadian visa that’s y you are so angry

being a Canadian citizen this is 100% accurate

It is nit just immigrants. 3d generation Canadians are also leaving and thinking of leaving Trudeau has ruined this country it makes me sad the response to everything is more tax

Now let’s talk about the cost to live, for someone like you, it’s not that big of a deal, but Canadians are struggling far more than American’s are in terms of the necessities\n\nOr the average cost a basic starter home in Canada is outrageously expensive, starting off at about 600k for a house in the hood

From what I heard about Canadian woman they dress more femininely and woman from like north of Florida to New york state dont do that. I met a New york woman in Ukraine she was from Queens and I said to myself shes wearing to much clothes and its late June.

Every country has good sides ans bad sides. Canada ke level ki income india me lao. Canada ke level ka public infrastructure lao. Remove Corruption. Freedom of speech and expression lao. Indian passport canadian passport ke level ka powerful banao. Majority dekhoge toh canada is leading miles ahead. India has lot of room for improvement. \n\nIsiliye usko developed country bola jaata hai. \n\nEvery country has good and bad side.

Most of the people commenting on Canada can't even imagine the quality of life. Even if you're Ambani, you'll still have to deal with pollution and dirt all over the place. Due to the influx of immigrants and recently poor governance of the country, it has slumped. Drugs and homelessness has increased but I've been settled here since the past two years and have had a considerable amount of work life balance and financial stability compared to back home. I did work for close to a decade in India yet could not accomplish what I did in 2 years here. Every country has it's pro's and cons and when it comes to healthcare yes it is sad but will be improved over time. If India was so great why are we taxed beyond question and not allowed to enjoy proper infrastructure and employment opportunities. Canadians are tired of our protests and whining for PR. People with no skills back home, can't land a job anywhere else. Period.

I am Indian by Origin and Canadian by nationality and have lived in Canada for 7 years. While Canada may not be the same as it used to be a decade ago.. this video is a bit of an exaggeration of the reality ?\n\nPeople who move abroad should make their choice wisely and should not have any false expectations!?

Canada is the most beautiful country in the world that’s its usp , again we Indians can learn something from Canada is the way they preserved their nature that is remarkable that gives them good oxygen rich air , water and hygiene that Indian people are far away or never witnessed in their life. We don’t have any greenery in our country we really need to work on improving that but neither the people nor the government is interested in making good changes or even have such idea in head ! Along with that Canada has strong tax system you really get tax return as well as strong labour protection act that guards its resident from exploitation and employees can sue the employer if exploitation is provable on table with facts. India doesn’t have any strong labour protection body this results even in corporate jobs you have to work more than 8 hours and no OT , plus Canada has EI (employment insurance) so that means is , if you loose your job for any reason you will get government assistance to help to pay your bills till you find your next job. Plus disability benefits , food banks , freedom to live your life the way you want, you can eat what you want, religion based stupidity doesn’t exist in that country. So yes it’s true I don’t like the Canadian PM either but overall Canada is really good country and we Indians can learn atleast some good things they carry and adapt to our country and make India bit better place to live. The moment some says truth we Indians start bashing and may say go to Canada but we don’t realize our own problems and don’t wanna work.

Canadian women’s are not having babies, if you don’t bring in young immigrants you’re economy will collapse

Fault is in current canadian govt not in canadians .\nCanada is still good country for living

Immigration isnt it bad whats wrong is canadian govt.policy of giving education visa so to generate revenue.kids have no interest in that education.They are there for work and money.Colleges are in cities so more pressure on those resources.Canada has vast land harness your natural resources send them there.hope it will help canada.

The blunt truth is that the majority of ostensible international students from India coming into Canada happen to be from the state of Punjab and are Sikhs. The state of Punjab is the educational dregs of India as it is mostly agricultural. What is happening is this influx of so-called students from Punjab are in fact hooligans and come to Canada in the guise of being students. But are in fact here to become permanent residents by hook or by crook. This phenomena is a recent development since 2020-21. Prior to that the students who came to Canada from India were genuine students that is why Canada did not see the problems from so-called international students from India prior to 2020-21. Canada really needs to screen carefully for both academic credentials as well as English language facility. These so-called international students cannot speak basic English. How in the world are they going to actually fare in Canadian post-secondary education let alone at University level. Canada is now facing an influx of these hooligans and they ALL need to be deported back to India.

Canada's looking more and more appealing! If all the good people like these two leave, I'd gladly move North. Give me some poutine and Canadian ham.

Yeah, the saddest day for Canadians. Morons voted out prosperity for a goof with nice hair.\nEveryone get out and vote, we need more voters because Trudeau will be using the immigrants to bolster his numbers.\nThe 4 million extra votes will destroy us with Trudeau again in power.

I am a Canadian and I have seen the sharp decline of Canada over the past decade which makes me very sad. According to many 'experts' they paint a dire picture of the nations future as the rate of inflation spirals out of control and we are buried beneath a mountain of debt. On the ground level, homelessness is an epidemic that the powers that should not be seem to want to sweep under the rug, while they race bait and spout off about woke ideology. They are more worried about transgender rights and castrating children while with anyone with eyes to see are witnessing the very breakdown of their society around them, people are dying in the streets from fentanyl overdose. My wife volunteered at our old church which catored to the homeless and I have known many that are no longer with us, nobody wants to acknowledge it because they do not want to face the fact that they are fellow human beings. In the end no one is better than any one else, it is all vanity.?\nIt would seem like we are run by lunatics with severe cognitive dissonance by the fact that we have mass immigration while are own \npopulation is suffering, I admit that mental health and addictions are potent variables that constitute the crisis, I am not niave to those facts. I myself have had long term Sobriety. But it is odd that only a decade ago, homelessness /addiction were problems confined to major cities like Vancouver and Toronto, and now we have tent cities in almost every town with a population of more than 20 thousand people. It would seem like utter stupidity to keep pouring water into a bucket that is overflowing. I suspect that their is an agenda and the destruction of our nation is a part of it, it is a well known fact that the Trudeau government is in bed with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. I don't care if you call me a racist, that is a luxury for those who live in gated communities, who create the problem and want to muddy the waters. These elites like to accuse others of what they are guilty of, they are anti human bigots, eugenicists who are ideologically captured, any one who bandies the around words like racist and homophobia, Islamophobia etc. are either those operating with an agenda or a useful idiot.

I’ve watched this happen all in real time, and I’ll be honest. I don’t mind immigration. When people come here, to BECOME Canadian, and ASSIMILATE to our way of life and add to our culture. But this invasive wave by the hundreds of thousands who don’t wanna speak our language , engage with our communities and isolate themselves in bubbled communities… I don’t want them here. Come here to be part of us or just leave.
