International students coming to Canada should budget properly for tuition fees, housing and living expenses. There are too many stories of destitute international students living under a bridge or using the local food banks for subsistence.\n\n\nCanada should not be granting student visas unless they can demonstrate financial means to afford their education. Many international students come here and work part-time to partially subsidize their education. \n\nIt is not fair for Canada to help subsidize international students.

?? canada is good for labour not for educated... you need certification even after you are phd, you need pr and experience after have phd. no jobs for outsiders. only you can apply as labour with minimum salary

Indian political agenda to criticize Canada Indirectly ? Indian political parties sponsored channel. FYI please...there are still long queues from the world to come in Canada. Lol

Ive lived in Canada my entire life, and I am desperate to leave the country to make a better life for my family. The sad thing is, I dont see how I will ever be able to afford to leave. With two jobs working seven days a week, I cannot afford to pay all of my bills every month. I dont even own a house.

Especially Indians... No terrorists in Canada.

Shasrikal pajee, thank you for kind information. I'm interested to come for work in Canada.

canada need a qualified leader.\nJustin Trudeau openly supports Terrorism for votebank politics.\nHonours a Nazi Soldier inside their own parliament.

People from all over Canada are moving to Alberta , Calgary in particular. The cost of living is less than Ontario, Quebec and BC. The proximity to the mountains is great. Calgary is a beautiful city with great neighborhood’s and parks. The technology sector is attracting a large number of companys to Calgary because of the reasons above but also because the work force is one of the youngest and most educated,mainly because of the training for the oil and gas sector. Being just over an hour from one of the most beautiful national parks in the world doesn’t hurt. Banff National park. Also with access to many summer vacation spots in south and central BC. All these things make Calgary a great place to live. Alberta also has many other cities and towns worth checking out. With a competent and caring provincial leader in Danielle Smith, Alberta’s future is looking bright.

No more immigration. We have had enough of such folks, in Canada, now

I was born and raised here. I am doing my exit plan as I cannot afford to live here as young-adult living on my own. The government knew exactly what they were doing when they allowed 9 million people to come here in a short amount of time. How can you provide billions for foreign aid but can't provide basic necessities to your own citizens? I have cut EVERYTHING extra out of my life and even while working a full-time job I cannot survive in my own country. Canada is a country for the elite, cliche style immigrants, and for the ultra wealthy who pass down intergeneration wealth. A failed health care system that provides little to no services at which you pay out of pocket to get access with private health care providers. You can't depend on transit as it is the mercy of the corrupt transportation/commissioners aka unions and the cost of gas is out of this world. I AM SO LUCKY I went to university and graduated when I did because the same degree would have cost 15k-20k more...food is super expensive...renting an apartment is seen as a form of luxury....you have to know someone to get basic things done. What a shameful society...a society that treats immigrants with upmost respect only to turn around looking the other way when it comes to homelessness...the housing crises...lack of employment oppts, gosh I can go on. My brother was lucky enough to move to Dubai and cash in on his savings by investing it into his properties where he pays 0 tax on his salary from his job.

Canada sucks now

Indians do come to Canada . Stay where you are

Canada is a ponzi-scheme, particularly for newcomers and new starters. Canada was more welcoming to immigrants but that has not been the case for the last 20 years. It is an illusion.

It's interesting that immigrants are choosing to leave Canada whereas migrants are staying..

Because Canada is a Communist country now.\nWe are all trying to leave.

After that should be kicked out of canada and put on black list

I wish I could afford to immigrate out of Canada

I lived in Canada for 13 years, left in 2020 for England. Really sucks because I loved Canada so much but the prices are INSANE. Would love to move back but at this rate idk if that’s happening anymore

Yeah the rentals are like 1800 a month to 2K for 1 bedroom - or 2400 a month for 2 bedrooms; while 3 to 4 bedrooms - cost like almost 2 million dollars in Toronto; yeah it some places go to minus 30/40/50 Celsius - and if you go rural for cheaper prices you kind of pee behind the bushes and no gas station for like 200km; Canada is for carpenters, hunters and fishers/ survivors it's not for weak hearted unless you got a few million dollars in your account;

Canada has become a 3rd world shithole.

From Lebanon, i send peace wishes to Canada.

Maximam Indian pepole apply citizenship applications Canada , USA and UK . Even British Prime minister Risi Sunak is also came from India

Canada sucks now. Houses prices are stupidly unaffordable. There is horrible weather. The immigrants indians and chinese have taken over the city. The jobs are scarce. Health care system is FREE BUT REALLY HORRIBLE Go elsewhere.

Every economy gets stronger with job creation. The problem in Canada is that taxes kept on increasing, the housing wasn’t developed adequately that skyrocketed the rents but the job market is just shrinking. Most immigrants from India are from Punjab who look for blue collar jobs but with high inflation they are not able to survive or save anything. So they don’t find it lucrative anymore. The new students should do their due diligence before coming otherwise they are going to struggle!

DISCRIMINATION IS NORMAL,ONCE YOU LEAVE THEY WILL BE MORE RACIST. IF YOU STAY THEY BECOME LESS RACIST. COME TO CANADA.

I hope Punjabis leave Canada and go back to Punjab to make the great nation they are dreaming of. I wonder why they still live in Canada if they want Khalistan.

This is TRUE. It's just a TRAP. They are using greener pasture scam of study first. I myself have applied and have already wasted almost $11,000 just for the application since 2013 with IELTS of 8.0. I have taken multiple IELTS since it always expires every 2 years. And I havent heard anything from Canada. Then came the pandami and I don't have any monetary funds at all. I don't have any intention of continuing my application as Canada just squeezed out the money out of me. I could have just used that money to help other people. I'll just be staying in my country so my country could be a lot prosperous than a country who uses education just to SCAM expats.

Ya Canada has gone downhill under Trudeau. We need Pierre Poillevre NOW

I understand and agree with all your reasons. Canada is lame

India brings a complete opposite religion, language and ideology to foreign countries. It’s the Indian the does not participate in community activities, and integrate into a true Canadian national identity. This refusal has ultimately resulted in Indian being discouraged and quickly blaming others for the problem they have. If rent in downtown Vancouver on the 25th floor is to expensive, maybe try moving to more rural communities in Canada, where costs are different in living. If you come from a poor punjab province in India whereas you’ve sold the farm to come , then don’t expect a downtown Toronto sky rise , 1500 square foot 17th floor underground heated parking, to be the dream destination of your vision. It’s comparable to moving from the punjab to downtown Delhi and expecting the same cost comparisons to the punjab. Unfortunately it’s not sad to see the Indian people go. Hopefully Canada will begin immigration of more cultural like minded people and more people that have religious alliances, than some completely opposite ideology than a Canadian nationalist.

People are still flocking to Canada. True, it a very expensive, beauracratic, laid back country. But it is better than 95% of other places.

Khalistani terrorists and Mr Justin made Canada a hell for everyone

Thank God from canada

It's clear that Canada views immigration as a business opportunity, as opposed to prioritizing the provision of a safe and secure life for its own people and encouraging them to build families and contribute to population growth. Instead of importing millions of people, Canada could focus on motivating and supporting its citizens to increase the population internally, especially if the vision is to reach a specific population by a certain deadline.

Canada is very expensive and its hard to find affordable housing, healthcare is slow, groceries are very expensive and services are very expensive, taxes are high, transit infrastructure in Toronto is ridiculously behind other world cities. You need a car to survive in Canada and gas and insurance is very expensive. Childcare is too expensive. Clothing is limited and expensive

How can you compare India to Canada??..... We are fastest growing economy....Just wait for few more years.?

As a Canadian citizen, I can 100% confirm this. Canada has lost the battle of development and care for its citizens

Good! That will help with the housing & employment crisis’ and tripled inflation. Trudeau destroyed Canada by recruiting too many minions.

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

Canada doesn’t have the infrastructure to support immigration at the scale it wants. It’s not just housing. It’s hospitals, schools, gov’t service centres—not only is everything expensive, it’s inefficient too. I genuinely feel bad for the immigrants coming here based on the Canadian governments empty promises and being left with nothing like the rest of us. I don’t know how Canada can fix this but if this keeps getting any worse the country is just going to fall apart at the seams.

I'm Congolese born and raised in France left Toronto after 5 years to go back to Paris because \n- Cost of living \n- Cost of becoming a house owner \n- Dry Dating game \n- Workaholic culture\n- Not seeing myself building my family far away from my family\n - 6 month winter \nI love Canada tho, was a great experience ??and I did apply for a citizenship tho

I think Canada will be just fine without new Indians.

It’s actually been my plan to go to Canada for a few years now, it’s a shame how the Trudeau has destroyed it. I wanted to do my masters at McGill, and still do but if the situation there doesn’t improve it just won’t be worth my time. I don’t wan to stay in the UK but I may as well stay in France or go to Australia.

I came here in 1996, but its so expense to live in Canada. I am looking to move somewhere its cheaper

Canada sucks now. Don’t come here if you don’t want to be broke, miserable and working like a dog just to make ends meet.

To the government of Canada please help your citizens, housing / doctors/ pensioners

Canada is no longer Canada. Too many Indians everywhere you go, it’s not the Canadian dream anymore. It’s the Indian nightmare!

As a former military officer in the RCN, Canada has become a dump. My native Iraq is a better place to live. And I will be leaving after 30 years in Canada. If you're a recent immigrant, save yourself the trouble and head back home. Believe me you will thank me 10 years down the road.

Cause the new Canadian dream is to leave Canada.

You guys keep blaming immigrants and your government, while most Canadians run to EU and US to live and work those immigrants you are blaming have been the one keeping your economy going, you giys have no idea how much people pay for tuition and moving to Canada, they do the jobs you don't want to do, endure the cold you guys run from.\nAll the blames falls on Canadians not immigrants
