Vancouver resident here - I live a couple blocks away from a college, and can confirm that the student populace not only exploded but is almost exclusively Indian and it wasn’t gradual. \n\nPersonally, this seems to be the most egregious of it because aside from the sheer numbers, they don’t seem to be making the area any less safe or being a nuisance. And at those numbers, they patronize nearby businesses, helping the local economy. Can’t complain about that.\n\nHome prices have been out of control for decades, and so have hospital wait times - these are Canadian problems for which the Indians are merely a recent contributor (if at all). \n\nThe issues Canadians are facing from the influx of Indian seeking education and/or PR’s are under the jurisdiction of Canada’s Trudeau government - a group that is facing deep criticism amongst Canadians. They are now trying to placate us by walking back over the Indians they welcomed here in the first place. \n\nAnd that action subsequently (though not intentionally) gives justification for Canada’s most deplorable citizens to place blame on said Indians and discriminate freely. \n\nHaving said that, the main issue Vancouver locals have that is that (once again due to the Trudeau government) we seem to have imported a violent form of Indian politics that cause blood to be spilled on our streets - I don’t know the details between the sides, just want that sh!t shut down. I would love to see the Canadian and Indian governments cooperate to remove violent activists from our streets.

Let's get real here, these international students do not contribute significantly at all to Canada's economy. They are a drain on food banks that locals need for survival. They are a drain on our economy because 90% of them are sending most of their paycheques back to family in India. They are taking jobs away from young Canadians trying to enter the job market while Canada's unemployment rate is high right across the country. The schools mostly are fraudulent diploma mills that are not providing any real world job skills that are useful to Canada or Canadians and 90% of Indian international students who enroll in these colleges do not even attend. They come only to work for dollars and send money back to India. Meanwhile the cost of living is extremely high due to the housing shortage caused by excessive Indian International students. It should be very clear now, Canada and Canadians want all these Indians to leave Canada and return to India as stated in the temporary resident visa. If not they will be cut off and deported also incurring a 5 to 10 year ban from Canada.

You guys brought good information but shallow interpretation specially on the last personal opinion part - perhaps by the shortage of life experience Well when you guys criticized your college colleagues I thought wht but they are not Canadians... We have always things to do better don't you think?

ans we had no vetting / investigation , we got a lot of terrorists, look at the recent riot in montreal or the groups over running the colleges

The colleges are a major part of the problem. Way too easy to get accepted into a college in Canada. Some of the students dont even know how to use a computer. The colleges only care about collecting those high tuition fees.

I love the changes but it was due a while ago. Besides which country needs more Punjabis who can't speak more than 2 sentences in English and select Business Management in colleges.

I completely disagree with the international student english proficiency requirement to get a PGWP (i.e. for all international students). To get into any University program in Canada, you will need to pass an English Language proficiency test like IELTS or TOEFL anyways. At least for my four years of an Engineering degree, three co-op terms and a full-time secured Engineering position, 8 months before graduation you would think this international student knows how to communicate in English :). \n\nYes, there are certain students who just want to get the PR and don't care about the degree they are getting and probably just passed with the minimum IELTS requirement. A solution would be to make certain degrees like college diploma students take the English Language proficiency test again and at least have a language testing system which is free for these people. Spending $300-$400 after spending so much on international tuition fee to graduate from Bachelor's degree is a good policy in my honest opinion.

If your English sucks how the hell can you even pass courses. This shows schools are taking their money and keeping them enrolled when they shouldn’t. Too many fake private so called colleges that should be closed.

Canada wants immigrants so they can pay them cheap for meanial jobs that nobody wants to do. Period. All your efforts spent getting a degree in something will be worth nothing here. Period. Even if you consider yourself super smart with an IQ above average and think you can defy the system, think better: yes you can go to school here and get your degree recognized, but is gonna take a lot of time and money, you'll probably have to work two jobs under shitty weather and pay the rent for an apartment not bigger than a shoebox, not to mention the college fees. Is it worth it? After 15 years spent here first as an immigrant and now as a citizen, I still have to understand what makes Canada so appealing to people. But then I came from Europe, where life is easy and relaxed, so I guess my point of view is biased.

There are 2 reasons behind bringing in so many international students. \n1. Greed of universities and colleges so they can charge them an exorbitant amount of fees and make billions. (International Students pay 3 times the fees compared to a canadian citizen) \n2. Prop up the prices of the real estate market which is already in a bubble to avoid prices from collapsing.

I am an Indian, came here for ML research. Was unpleasantly surprised to witness so many unskilled Indians ruining the country. Uneducated, can't speak English, rude, unkempt. Like I love my country but I also love the country I immigrated to. I know tons of Indian friends like me who feel the same way. We all feel like we scammed ourselves into coming here. Every doordash and uber guy in Toronto is an Indian guy, who probably came here through a diploma mill. Why did Canada let this happen? Weirdly enough, even now, it's easier to get into Canada as a Khalistani terrorist or an LMIA abuser with a fake IELTS score and fake college admission letter than honest Indians who come here for higher education at good schools. Anyone reading this and from India, just go to the US man. At least despite the H1B lottery they respect your time more than Canada and you earn way more in 2-3 years than you would here in 6 years.\n\nPs : I singled out Indians since I am one but Palestinian refugees with their never ending incessant virtue signalling marches, Ukrainians with their virtue signalling marches and destruction of property, middle eastern refugees etc are all part of the problem. It's like they came here to bring their problems with them.

I see no flaw in their logic,\n\nThe truth is that I believe that the bad strategies implemented by the government, and the lack of regulation, harmed everyone who wants to do things well. I don't want to offend anyone, but it is totally illogical that a country as popular as Canada has not put these measures in place before, which are not brutal, they are basic. \n\nThink that most countries in the world do not allow an international student to work 24 hours a day. Furthermore, the level of fraud for admission to colleges and universities is very high, many students do not even go to classes...and do not even pass the language filters. Added to the agencies that promoted the lie that if you studied two years at college, you would get the PR :S, NOBODY DID ANYTHING.

it is JUSTIN T who destroyed immigration system . NDP Liberals worse govt and bad actor( college and immigration agent ) made money.please keep up good work by showing honest information . Main media is slient . Justin Resign

Hello Anna and Anastasia your channel is truly a hidden gem full of useful information and insight. I am an international student myself and I agree with all your points in the video, Canada used immigration to fix a deeper problem and that is its difficulty to incentivize the economy by having a heavily regulated environment, high taxes and low productivity. It will definitely alleviate some of the pressure on the system but, the real cause is still there. The first sector that is going to be affected will be the education as colleges and universities became over reliant with the revenue coming from Int. Students (which is not particularly small) and institution will need to adapt. When I first came here I fell in love with the country and I really feel fortunate to enjoy this beautiful place and doing everything to assimilate and integrate myself into the culture. I think here you can have a sense of hope of things improving in the future (something that is not the case in my home country) but if they do not fix the underlying problem it does not matter how much immigration they reduce, Canadians will not see a significant improvement. Keep the awesome work!!!

Excuse me Indian India is a big country that have all the resources they want why the president are the prime minister of India let him in bad people have to cut out all over the world that's not nice because number one they will never and they will not adopt the Western principal our life and God so why didn't you stay in India I'm asking you on the phone on the internet on the TV why the Indiana monster in India they come to the West they have nothing to do with the culture of the West that's very sad if we leave the Western go to India we will have to adopt your people who do not adopt on all these things happen because of weak prime minister weak member Parliament and the Northeast and North Justin Trudeau need to deport all of them that come here and student visa and his fake College

Trump’s strict immigration policies will stop illegal migration from Canada and other countries and they need to stop having that better life in the USA mentality because they don’t have the meaningful job skills to earn a decent wage or don’t have a fancy college degree to get a six figure salary; they need to remain in their own countries and try their best to survive.

I taught intro to micro and macro economics at a junior college in rural ohio. I was amazed at how many students could not tell me what are the three branches of government. \n\nThis is one of those communities that voted heavily maga. The corollation between ignorance and trump support speaks for itself.

If they don’t take care of the cartel, their drugs goes to show you they’re sold out to the cartels and they say it’s Trump‘s problem and send the US military thank you forces to take out every cartel in Mexico New Mexico favor we got over 300,000 missing children from our southern border The cartels dropped them off at our border. Some of them went into sex trafficking. Someone went into slavery I don’t wanna talk about what happens to the others just children a lot of them where Guatemalan after Kamala Harris with Guatemala Guatemala radio was telling kids how to get to America I wish people would study into what exactly going on in our country instead of leaving the propaganda resent our kids off to college to be a doctorate by college professors to believe is the right way to go things are gonna change and change your abruptly. We’re going back to the constitutional Republic, the deep state, a.k.a. the corporation one world order is getting out of Dodge. I just hope they leave quietly and there’s no lost life by pushing Putin into doing something stupid and vaporizing, cities and country folks dying of slow death of radiation for evening Joe Biden said he would do everything in his power to keep Trump out of the lighthouse Jamie Raskin wanted to talk democrat said he would rather create a civil war to keep Donald Trump out of life. The red and Chuck Schumer has almost cost us the life of the Supreme Court, Justice woke his no more and I can’t wait for the new beginning to start.

The colleges were behind this policy 10 years ago.. They made millions and people werr scammed.. gov knew.. As long as you pay tuition you are accepted

The US is very narcissistic. Dear fellow American: our population accounts for 4% of the global population. We are one of the only ‘developed’ countries that does not have universal health insurance, nor affordable/free college. We were sold so many lies and ate them up. I’m ready to leave. \n\nRepubs offshored the jobs during the Reagan admin. Unions were busted up during Reagan. NAFTA was made under Reagan. Is this getting through to you all? Repubs, NOT Dems, created the offshoring of jobs 40 years ago so that corporations could line their pockets!

the colleges are the only people making money once here the students are draining the infastructure food banks health care etc need i go on

Donald Trump ran a campaign on authoritarianism, harsh politics and he won the popular vote plus the electoral college

I had a lady in my class that couldn't write or barely speak in English. How she got accepted into college, no idea!

I got a disease that killed me , now there's cure but Everyone should suffer because I did ? That's the reasoning behind college debt relief. You died so everyone should ?¿ That's Ignorance ?

PR status is their real goal. Colleges are a door way to enter Canada. They all know this very well.

Send them back, most of these attend fake colleges. The college degrees don't have any value .........

Honestly, our parents & grand parents taxes built these colleges & universities. There are too many deans, VP’s & bureaucracy in these constitution’s today. We do not need foreign students, more funding or raise tuitions. Our post secondary education system needs to clean house. Stop over charging for courses & tuition that doesn’t even offer classroom studies just more online courses.

The colleges and canada should give the students back the money they spend.. and then student will go back peacefully.

All indian students below 25, should have ECR (emigration check required) on their passports, their invitation letters from colleges should be scrutinized by the Ministry of External Affairs and Department of education, GoI. Only after that they should be allowed to travel. This can be embarrassing for the indian government, must be controlled at all cost.

DEPORT THESE CLOWNS , STUPID STUDENTS DONT EVEN KNOW TO CONTACT COLLEGE DIRECTLY BEFORE GIVING THE FEES , STUPID CLOWNS , THESE ARE UNEDUCATED CLOWNS

One glaring difference between the the US and CAN governments is that the CAN prime minister is elected by popular vote, and so eastern CAN just overpowers of the less populated provinces, this is why liberal politicians are elected PM time and time again, and again. In the US the president is elected by an electoral college system, which limits the power of the more populous states.

The government never promises for permanent residency it’s your so called consultants . Don’t blame govt for tough rules you guys know how you actually came here - just taking advantage of Canadian immigration system fake students getting admission in school colleges ( Don’t know English but in colleges) fake visitors ( fake lmia from their relatives ) fake asylums . So what do you expect govt give PR to everyone. Consultants thinks they are wiser and make govt fool ??

Dont send your kids to study outside india.90% of colleges have bogus certification and diplomas scheme. I bet nobody get arrested in Canada fir these fake schemes and frauds.

It's a pure money grab and the colleges are scammers. And FFS no one in Kingston wants to take some course at St. Lawrence like the bar course because the awkward mix of people with bad English has ruined the fun of it. You dont have to liek it, but it's true.

Sir only present govt is responsible for such a tragic position.why they called lot of immigrants and students out side of canada if they have not infrastructure enough in canada.they invited students to gain lot of money as a fees to run their education industry....fees of students are 4 time more in comparison of canedian citizen....now they argue college invited theses student but its a reality ircc is responsible for giving them final student visa ...keep in this mind.

So basically, you(JT) bring migrants with giving them hope of PR because of demand and now throw them back because no demand. What do you think what will happen to their life? They left everything behind and moved to Canada because you gave them hope of PR and now they have to go back, their life is ruined. Don't give nonsense of bad actors or exploitation, fake colleges and you didn't know about it from first day! Sorry for those who migrated and now left on their own.

And that is why Canadian aren't able to go to college. College priorize international students

Trudeau shouldn’t be taking “some” responsibility over the immigration debacle, Trudeau should be taking 100% responsibility for his role in creating this huge problem for Canada!\n\nHe is the one who allowed these loopholes, of course these sham colleges will take advantage! \n\nGah we have a baboon for a PM.

Been in Canada almost 20 years as a citizen. Went to university and college. Got a degree and a diploma in economics and accounting but no jobs. Finally became a realtor while working for a property management company who then wanted to fire me for getting licensed instead of using my skills. Similar to my sister who came and went to university. Did the 4 year RN degree and became a registered nurse… but couldn’t get a job in the hospitals because a certain group of people only wanted to hire their own. Canada has a fundamental problem apart from the unaffordable living conditions and high taxes

Loyalist college and Algonquin college are now 50% Indian students. That's not observation talking, those numbers are available. Seneca and Canadore very high numbers too.

Conestoga College's President John Tibbits was the worst offender, recruiting 32,000 international students causing massive social problems in Waterloo Region

Conestoga college really screwed over all of Kitchener-Waterloo and made off like bandits.

You mean those strip mall Colleges with Indian/English signs aren’t accredited?? Who would have thought

Obviously not controversial if he won the electoral college and popular vote

good job sir. but for real the college students got to mind their own business.

I am Cuban. I came to the US legally in 1967. My parents left their families and everything behind in order to give my sisters and me a better life in the freedom and democracy of the US. We flew out of Cuba the day after my 7th birthday. I was young but old enough to see the look on my mother’s face and my grandmother’s face to realize that they new they were never going to see each other again. We left a land ruled by an iron fisted dictator. It was the sacrifice of a lifetime for my parents to bring us kids here and now my sisters can’t understand why I don’t want to talk to them because they have voted for a man who wants to be a dictator, who disrespects women and took away their right to control their bodies(I have a college graduate daughter….what if someday she needs an abortion to save her life because the fetus did not develop right?), a man who is clearly a racist in every sense of the word, who only projects hate and division, but does everything he can for white billionaire men. This Mexican-American woman and my sisters disgust me. My sisters have betrayed my parents and the sacrifice they made.
