Toronto’s demographics structure changed dramatically with in especially last 5 years. And it looks like we are not allowed to talk about this. Government says they are welcoming international students from all around the world but 35% is from India. If we add other type of visas percentage goes even higher. Why ? I moved to Canada to live in multi cultural country. Is there anybody in government talk about this subject possible issues in the future?

Deport in mass, maybe than India will deal with scammers. God bless Canada ??

In short, all of Canada's problems are the result of government interventions. Who would have expected that, especially with good intentions?

These are not real student. They cometo Canada to Seattle using the student visa loopholes.

When entering Canada don’t be too selfish, so treat Canada as your own place

Poll Canadians that were born on or before 1985. Ask them when they believe Canada took a turn for the worse.

I was raised in Vancouver and our family moved to the US when I was 32 for 22 years. In 2021, after our kids graduated high school, we made the decision to move back to Canada for several reasons, top of the list was universal healthcare. We live a good life in Victoria and don't regret our decision. Canada just feels safer and we have had wonderful experiences with our medical care. No matter what Western G7 nation you live in, prices are high, housing costs are high, it's the unfortunate outcome of neoliberalism and the wealth gap.

So Arabs are doing nothing, meanwhile Canada has taken in thousands upon thousands. \n\nClassic.

Canada will be the next Asia if they don’t slow the immigration intake.

You will regret your decision but hey, it’s your life to be ruined outside of Canada. Good luck.

let's be honest as an international student I am in awe of how some internationals can study in Canada when they can't even speak English properly .. when I came here I needed to pass IELTS and get a band 7 for everything all my documents and transcripts were directly sent from the official email of my institution. I need to pass an exam before enrolling for my course, I have criminal, abuse registry, and child registry checks in my country and even when I am in Canada. Did all the immunizations needed and abide by their law i need to submit all these documents every 6 months access. to the policy of the program I am doing. And as an international remember you are coming to Canada they have their own culture so you need to respect and adjust to it, not Canada adjusting to you... even though Canada is diverse they have its own rules so yes adapt to the place where you are. And to them blaming the agency you the people who are using them knew exactly what they were getting into now you are complaining I did all my applications through DIY as IRCC is a direct applicant why need agents for application. Ircc should also question why a person needs an agent to process their applications. If they can't understand basic instruction and basic legal matters would you think those students will be able to survive the education system here in Canada? let's be real a lot of students are taking short-term courses, short like 8 months, and yes to get PR (I wouldn't lie cause that would be hypocrisy all international students have that aim, and if you say no just stay in your country). Now this a lesson to IRCC that they really need to make a thorough background before offering a PR permit ..and please when you are in public speak English respect the people around you... and don't speak too loud in your language when you are in working places.. uphold professionalism again remember you are in Canada a french English speaking country. And don't start with me about being racist.... cause it is plainly common sense.

Again I never heard of the solution DORMSSSSSS! Canada dont need too many small colleges, just few in strategic areas where everyone will have access. These schools, they can accept international student but!!! They should have capacity to accommodate like having a dorrrmmmmm for the school. Im mad about this bc in SKorea, where I exchage, they have dorms, here in Canada, you have to find it yourself. We also get our food in the cafeteria which is healthier and have mang options. That 2 alone are solutions itself. You have your money, you refrain us from affecting your inflation so much, we are comfortable and safe and can build better community and many new friends while studying here. The rent could also be used by the schools for scholarship to locals than the rent going to the hands of greedy real estate investors. And now the Canadians are blaming us alone for the housing market? Blame the greedy government and schools!

Getting ill is a crime in canada

Oh, you're leaving Canada! ??? That's great!!! ???\nTry Yemen, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iraq and Syria...???\nFree Canada! ??????

Canada is so cold , how can you enjoy life ? I left immediately 20 years ago

Both of you have spoken out to voice about the growing situation in Canada. And the noble step both of you are taking going forward and especially for your 2 princesses.\nAllah will always be with us who at every moment looks up to Him. And DOA is the greatest weapon we are blessed with.

I would only live in Canada if I could do half year there and half in Florida. I could NOT handle those winters now. There are a lot of Canadian snow birds here in Florida

Ok ,It I Canada

I was born in Canada and think it is tanking… overly indulgent and generous government policies have coddled many and not appreciated the educated hard working immigrants who could help grow the country

Canada is not an Indian colony.\n\nTime to stop this population replacement.

The way you speak may be you should stay put in Canada

Hey nobody is forcing you to stay if Canada is that bad! Good luck!

We have enough Uber and Skip The Dishes drivers, time to seal it up.\nWe need to get Canada back.

The first thing Canada needs to do is slow down or completely stop immigration. It is unsustainable. Oh, and not vote for Trudeau in the next election.

Be quick doors are open hope you find what you wish outside of Canada

Please fix Canada \nThis is dystopian

Vancouver is my home town. I have a pretty good deal where I currently live, but if that changed, quite possibly I'd be looking for a cheaper, more relaxed country to move to. Mexico? Philippines? Not sure, but Canada is kinda fucked these days. Not totally, but in a lot of important ways.

100% Canada is accepting too many international students

I really think the goverment should slow down on all issues and also imagrents but send in doctors first and things that are striving to keep up housing shound increase for canadians our own people there not enough supports alone and serving ukraine should halt and things that dont need attention thethe liberails are only making canada worse high rent out of control and noting balanced they ant on a stable track at all.

I hate canada now

International students 90 % only from India \nIt’s not international students \nIt’s Indian students come to Canada for PR and better life targets all jobs market and make money send to back home , how can economic growth in Canada , of course growth massive population, will be broken down the economy \nBecause that people working in Canada make money send to back home\nMaybe after 10 years that peoples control any kind of important jobs like all banks , IT system , will be too late for Canadian out of control

Immigration in Canada has become political-economic code for lowered labour standards, lowered wages, decreased living standards, increased birth rates and even more homelessness.

Assuming you have gone back to what you left behind in India after exploring Canada. Best way to leave and see if another country works for you. And why leave a fast growing country that is going to grow at 6-7% min. ?

We didn't use to see people on the streets begging in Canada. Now on evevry street corner in the GTA (Vaughan, Newmarket, Barrie, Hamilton etc.) there is a lady in a hijab begging. Slow immigration now! Fix the problems. Then we can resume.

The COMMENTS! JUST WOW! \nJust reading the comments make me feel that canada is a piece of sht!

I am CFA level 3 candidate with 2 years of experience in big MNCs, how can I apply job in Canada in my field of Investment Banking?

What I would like to know myself as a Canadian resident for 60 years where is the financing coming from the students coming in from their perspective countries or is it Canadian financing. The next question please would be would these students actually contribute to Canada's society and not be like the last 20 years of nurses being trained and doctors also guilty of this of leaving the country and laughing at the Canadian taxpayer by not even paying back the student loan which is not forgivable by any means I would really appreciate someone to educate me on this it's just an unknown I feel almost ripped off.

Canada wants to develop its economic by having foreign students and real Estate. They are too lazy to work hard.

Too many international students , it will drive Canada down. It is not a money issue, but an environmental and social issues. Please slow down.

Canada shares border only with USA. All the immigrants are coming through a system which’s is established by government . If the government is unable to control the immigration and unable to run the country smoothly then they should just resign

Attention Canadians and Immigrants in Canada! Kindly comment below the problem/s name/s listed in the video and then write whether it is true or not???

Canada is accepting to many people. We have a massive housing shortage, and when we can't house our own people, we shouldn't work on housing outsiders. It's an objective scale. We should outright stop accepting new people until our housing situation is fixed.

As an immigrant I can admit that the massive immigration doesn't help, specially from refugees, many people here live out of welfare, Canada it's about to become USA.

As an Indian origin citizen myself , please reduce and be selective when taking students/immigrants from India. Canada takes the least eligible people of Indian society, while the USA gets the best.

let me set the record straight here. International students pay four to fivefold as much tuition as locals do, and injects billiions of dollars into the Canadian economy. They have long become a cash cow in the eyes of canadian institutions and nobody ever voices support for 'em not even once. How sick and ungrateful was that? And now they're held accountable for, idk, housing crisis? For god's sake, why the heck nobody criticise the government's refugee-taking spree? Under Trudeau's ruling, Canada has imported way more refugees than any other nation from the middle of nowhere. At least international students has made siginificant economic contribution to the country. But what have those refugees done to the country except draining your resources? I mean c'mon fellas, do your fact checking and soul searching and don't lay blames on international students blindly, they deserves credits wherever credits are due.

Yes canada should focus on canadian students that can't afford education, that means better jobs and more taxes coming in by canadian ❤

The irony of the situation is Canadians are somehow thinking it’s the student’s fault for coming to Canada. Your government is literally scamming students and it’s really getting out of hand.

Yes it's true and me as an international student regret coming to Canada. I already paid my scholarship so I'm staying here for 2 years and then I'm gone, everything it's so expensive and the money goes to housing. I can barely save money, only staying to know and explore beautiful landscapes :)

I immigrated here back in 2019, by the time I became a citizen in 2023, I was just astonished at the level of immigration and international students. I hate how schools exploit them for cash, their education quality is so so bad, its unimaginable, and you can't blame the teachers even, each class is like 300-450 students. The quality of education is so bad in Canada, I don't know if it was good before but I can only imagine it was since these universities are well known here. Students loans have become a business for banks and lenders and I guess that gave the universities ideas on making a business out of exploiting poor country's wealth though international students.

Unfortunately Canada has lowered its admission standards over the years. It risks downgrading its education system and sliding downwards
