First, I want to thank you for making this video. The health of a country, or the health of an individual which are clearly linked, is dependent on our ability to see ourselves and each other, and make necessary changes to improve in the areas that we lack personally, and as communities in our beautiful country of Canada and other countries as well. Well, it’s a work in progress. I appreciate how you’ve inspired us to speak about things that aren’t necessarily spoken about. At least not where I live and have lived in Canada. Thank you so much for that opportunity. It doesn’t matter about my opinion. What matters is sharing our own thoughts, feelings, and experiences because they aren’t debatable. \n\nWe are in violation of Multiple Human Rights violations against Inuit , Indigenous and Métis people by the United Nations. Most have no water to drink—not even boiled water and bottled water is available sometimes when it’s brought to reservations . Children don’t have the same access to books. So many thousands of bodies of children taken to residential schools from their parents arms and community for over 160 years yet the deep wounds aren’t given compassion by most people anymore and systemic abuse actively impacts them and therefore all of Us . We are all one whether we see people as other’ or not. We’re humans. \n They’re not seen in media unless it’s a bad story yet we’re only now teaching one mandatory class by non indigenous people. Solution: elders teach their grandchildren languages that weren’t erased by genocide and environmental /spiritual cultural practices and lifestyles before they’re gone by paying first people elders and streaming it into all Canadian classrooms so the children can see a future where they’re valued and all Canadian kids can get a full education and learn accurate history. Making canoes, baskets, sacred ceremonies, food growing (that they taught to pilgrims so they’d survive here), etc. No, I’m not indigenous. I’m an immigrant like all but the first people. They’ve an amazing culture that’s been all but lost . When we don’t see ourselves represented in any media, any careers, and start our lives in extended poverty based on our race, and all that was taken still today, it’s no wonder the teen suicide rate for indigenous youth is more than double / triple all non - indigenous youth. The numbers are growing. \nI live in Care due to my physical disabilities . An international nursing student worked for me providing personal care like showers, meal prep etc and over that year, she said she wouldn’t have moved here specifically because of a few things I’ve mentioned. She told me Canada was sold to people in her country of origin as a ‘multicultural’ safe haven without extreme racism still prevalent today and within our history. \n\nI’m ashamed of Canadian government promises for over 100 years that aren’t fulfilled. All children deserve healthy drinking Water and an education. Period. Especially, the ambassadors of this amazing land that they see as themselves without separation. That’s accurate. We will have nothing to stand upon if we don’t protect the earth. It will go on without us. \n\nI see many things in the comments I’ve seen or experienced, unfortunately. This is a beautiful country for so many reasons. It’s important that from such abundance we listen to your video, look at ourselves honestly and i feel, be the change we want to see in the world like Gandhi said.\n\nMuch love and healing from an All inclusive advocate. All life matters.

Literally- NOT ONLY INDIANS - EVERY INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IN CANADA - feels the same.

God forbid this country starts a civil war internally..\nSo many of the comments on this video show our lack of empathy. I hope none of us ever have to try crossing into Canada illegally. ?

When you have to pay that much for a visa, you should have the common sense to know it's a scam. Playing innocent now is pointless. Plus what kind of checks is the Canadian Embassy doing while issuing visas? How did their visas get approved in the first place? And here they are rejecting valid visa applications like that of the IISC interns.

They figure they can roll over overkill disease and remove Everyone By occupation Time to Reduce And Rebuild America Altogether To a Full Recovery and Ultimate sweep while on lock down till Easy enough to only build on all boarders between countries and states Remove All Internally and Build a Super structuring to Forbade Every Country Till All here Are Condensed Carefully Cared for and All Recovery of American Families are brought to Exstreems in wealth and health

I know it's a business, but hey at the end of the day everything is about money... you want to start a business, gotta have money, u want to study abroad you gotta have money, you want to eat healthy and good food, you gotta have money, you want to live on a nice apartment YOU GOTTA MAKE MONEY!!! so at the end of the day everything is a business. Stop blaming the system and make the most out of it. The only way not to spend money is if you are buried down 10 meters on the ground lol i hate when people want good things and complain about money. Make the most out of that international experience, money comes and goes so dont stress too much about money. Im Speaking from a point where i studies abroad and i make good money i have my own business and i keep growing.

Seems like the issue is mainly the sham schools. I study engineering at a reputable Ontario university with co-op program. International classmates, many from India, have no trouble finding good work, both as a student and after graduation.

Stop 5x the international tuition fee. Its outrageous !!!

Thank you so much for the educative video, Please am confused about the delivery option for wes....am I to pick international courier or Canada standard post?

This is all internal caused USA destruction. Crying like she has some right of entry. Send them to AOC, Martha's Vineyard, Pelosi, Schiff, and the Biden's

Communist party of Canada, excellent ideas on inflation reduction-housing-Healthcare. CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, RT International. Poverty allieviation completed 10 yrs ago in China

Working with hundreds of Indian international students over the past year has shown me that there is no way the majority of them have legitimate university degrees.

If I have a house and my kids are malnourished, no bed, no decent clothing, then some strangers try to barge in and DEMAND some food, a place to sleep , and want me to take care of their children. Im taking the gun out.\nFrom a non-american point of view. Take care of your internal problems first before you start worrying about other countries problems.Just block them off, you have the largest military in the world. Now use them to actually protect your homeland for real this time.

I am so glad that I dedicated 3 years of my life and got a good college and Job in my own country India. After hearing about all the problems that the international students face on a daily basis life in India feels more easy

interning the GOP will mean many many jobs; migrants or robots, whatever

But they are All so peaceful? They just want to apply legally I’m sure they have not intent to just run drugs and money and people at any cost tinted own survival above any care or concern for the health and wellness of the hosting nation. USA soon to close our borders Nationally and Internationally. ?

This prevents more legal migration as well as totally comes into conflict with modern libertarian ideas of the US involvement in international affairs.

Canada only depends on making money from International Students which came from mainly Asian countries this is truthful

The internal structure of the USA is in shambles and outsiders want to settle in the US and they aren't going to change their ways in the pathetic conditions they are living in their home country and they will live the same was a before, only territory changes

We cant save all these people, we can’t allow entry to people right now when we have so many internal problems. Close them and focus on the US first then double back to the immigrants, but as this moment we can’t do anything for them

This is so sad, if they would accept immigration camps , internment caps if you will. But they won't accept the rules and it's like they want in to the USA, But they just want to run free...if they followed the rules and xane in following rules...it would be more acceptable ...it just seems to many troubled criminals are filtered in with the good folks...??? I am not sure what the news say because no news report on this

The US should let them in, it's the American sanctions that have made it unlivable in their country\n\n the American should take ownership of what they did. You cannot try to rape and pillage a country and make life over their impossible for the people to live and then Force the people to stay there. The US sanctions on Venezuela are in violation of international law

How about Canadian immigrants exploit international students by paying way under minimum hourly wages? It's happening, ask international students working in sushi/pho/pretzel shops and you might learn about this harsh truth.

At least our banks in Australia don’t go broke like in US . Since the Covid lock downs a lot of people are homeless all around the world . I live in Sydney and I could not care less if we are isolated . We still can visit New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and South East Asia . I rather live in Australia than overseas because my relatives in the UK , and Cyprus didn’t care to spend time with me when I visited there . Their attitudes are not laid back . Anyway there are international students who find work here in Australia . We have heaps of lovely places in Australia to visit . There are amazing places in Western Australia and the rest of Australia to see . I agree Canada is amazing as I have been there but it doesn’t mean Australia is a dump like you are saying . I am sorry that you had a bad experience here but it doesn’t mean Australia is a horrible country to live in . There is beauty in our deserts thank you .

Lift the sanctions on Venezuela. Let Venezuela sell oil in international markets. The country will self sustain and prosper. Then there would be no reason for Venezuelans to leave their home.

Can student work more than 20 hours per week ? If not please make guide for us international student.

No countries want Venezuelans. They brought nothing but violence! Check international news . We should protect our nation.

Immigration levels are causing the housing market boom. Colleges are paying the government of the day to keep immigration laws lenient as this would encourage more international students. The result- the quality of people coming in this country has dramatically declined. The healthcare has been hit badly as the wait times can be months. Everyone wants to come to Ontario causing unemployment as immigrants work for less pay and ordinary Canadian can’t afford to work for that less. People keep on buying houses and renting it out and millennial can’t buy houses anymore. I don’t know how will canada feed all of us when AI takes our jobs. \nThe past 5-8 years of Trudeau has ruined my Canada.

I'm from India ?? but I care for usa too many migration will change country economy and will start internals conflict imagine the people's came from outside taking your lands making more money than you and than starting problems more

International ?? students #SCAM will have a boomrang lawsuite, juat wait and watch 23'

while I agree with a lot of this video theres one crucial aspect this video neglects and same with the commenters here.. POPULATION. \n\nCompared to countries like denmark, sweden, japan, france, uk, etc. we have a much bigger country to maintain landmass wise. Infrastructure. USA is similar but they have 10x the population as us. Our population in canada is pathetic. Problem is everyone stays in ontario or BC which is stupid, im in sask I want population. Another thing about infrastructure is our climate. We have such drastic events in our climate across our huge country that takes a toll. Climate problems with our low population is not a good thing. I mean most people outside canada and even within Canada dont believe me but Saskatchewan goes from like -45 to +45C with windchill/humidex. Our forests are on fire often, that is not normal. That costs so much money to fix as well. In summer sometimes, Nunavut or NWT will be warmer then here, we talk about it here when it happens. Think about that. Weather is HUGE in saskatchewan. We talk about weather daily. I never realized until internationals pointed that out that we are obsessed with weather in sask lol. \n\n Our housing market is a joke and I agree we need to invest more in buisnesses but at the same time we need affordable housing, we are in a weird spot. As far as working etc goes people commenting here lol the golden years of the 80s are gone old timers, my parents realize this that you guys were spoiled in one of the greatest time periods in human history - post WWII boom and the effects. I could go on and on how the 70s-90s were one of the best time periods in modern history for various reasons but I wont. There are problems internationally, we live in a globalist world. We still have it good. Go travel and make international friends. This is nothing that we are dealing with at the moment. All I will say though is leave the huge metropolitans like Toronto and Vancouver. Everyone wants to go there because they think 'theres more opportunity' ugh. Theres opportunity across canada but if everyone things like that there will be problems. The idea of Ontario or BC is just a big nope for me (although I go to BC every couple years, love it there I would not want to live there).

Please also tell that how a international student get his/her first job while studying in canada ??

Great video! Just to clarify, All post secondary schools in Canada charge tuition fees for their programs for PR and Canadian citizens, and is lower than international students fee. The provincial govt can loan you the fee after admission and you pay back when you are done. To clarify, is not free after secondary education. Thank you.

I would add that because of the lack of investment in businesses and an open immigration policy while over-prioritizing Canadian only experience there is a huge underemployment problem especially amongst highly skilled and experienced immigrants who would mainly wait to get the Canadian passport and move down south to the US where evaluations of international experience is more objective. Lots of low to medium skilled jobs. Dear Canada, I say this as an immigrant, if you don’t have enough high skilled jobs don’t open your borders or make it clear you want low skilled immigrants. That said, Canada is great country with minimal crime and is fairly equal. Problem is, it’s hard to get out of the rat race here.

I was an international student in Canada and am now a neutralized Canadian. In the last 5-6 years, Canada has increased their immigration target every year. A lot of people coming in boosted the housing price, additionally, putting a burden on healthcare

It's about time that this awful exploitation of international students was reported. I can not wait to see this put to a stop and the perpetrùtors punished.

Canada is the best country for foreigners. International students must stop going to the UK. I know a lot of people that are suffering there and regret their decision

i am an international student, here doing a phd. Yet I have problem finding a job and staying here after graduation. Maybe I should just do what they do.

As a Californian this is deplorable, the Canadian government is willingly letting these students be exploited for profit. Trudeau ran in 2015 with making real change for the middle class. Notice middle class is inferred only Canadians, he doesn't care about you. I always knew something was going on after hearing about so many international students going to Canada, and my fears have been proved right.

They are actually entitled… THEY WERE OFFERED JOBS IN THE BORDER TOWN and they said no.. they wanted to go to USA. THEY THINK WERE RICH? We waste taxpayer money on this. Trump tried to stop it but the internal inexperienced teens said it’s evil? I’m sticking with trump and there’s a lot of homeless in USA and the housing crisis is crazy… we need to fix America first. If the police can’t hold the barrier… CALL IN THE FUCKING OLDIES WITH THEIR SHOTGUN OR WEAPON that’ll do it

Who is responsible for ensuring that these Presidents and Prime Minister who suffer there citizens be dealt with according??? \nTechnically its the people who should vote them out but what if the leaders are corrupt??? \nUN they themselves are corrupt we saw that in Haiti during their Earthquake what about the international community???

Governments been doing some things right recently\n\nCanada Dental Benefit is now a thing\nLots of planning for Municipal transportation (Even though its not a federal government thing, its still there)\nNow this, taking our security and taxes seriously \n\nNow i would like them to put some more money into the military, but maybe I'm asking too much... I also got my hopes up again over a potential new International Airport (pickering) for the GTA but knowing the history idk if that'll happen either.

Enough of Imperialism and its child Capitalism. Humanity matters – Domestically & Internationally – more than your greed for materialism.

What do you expect Canadian citizens are struggling with legit degrees from top schools why do international students expect a better life. Majority of diplomas and certification are scams you will not find a job after please dont random colleges do some research and go to accredited an school.

THIS IS TRULY SAD, MEXICO NEED THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM. THIS IS NOT A U.S PROBLEM ITS A AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WHY THESE MEXICANS WANT TO FLEE THEIR OWN PLACE OF BIRTH IN DROVES. THEIR GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE INSTEAD U.S IS HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THIS TRAVESTY TO LIFE AND LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

Keep all these racist Latinos in they country, we ain’t got enough space, housing, resources, plus we have our own internal ahit we need to solve first

Study visa are given to international students to travel abroad to the study and come back to their home country after graduation. ?

Among those are also Syrian, Iraqi refugees, this will get worse as USA messes with internal affairs of other countries

In their shoes is when u will know… god be with them … so much for International organisational who claim to work for humanity…. Very sad

My friend sent me a jar of Vegemite to try. I shipped back the unused portion international mail.\n\nVegemite should be fed to prisoners to prevent recidivism.
