There are 1,300,000 Indian people in Canada. If they all leave, Canada's economy might improve

Yes, there is a shortage of housing in Canada and rents are expensive \nbut that's not because people are leaving Canada - \nobviously it's because vast numbers of people are moving to Canada.\n\nCanada's population grew by over 430,000 people in just the third quarter of 2023\n(the last quarter for which statistics have been released).\nThat's a huge amount for one quarter for a country of just over 40 million people.\nSo no - Canada is not becoming depopulated of citizens or of \ntemporary or permanent residents.\n\nAnd what the news story strangely doesn't mention is that during \na diplomatic dispute between Canada and India\nthe Indian government purposely made changes to make \nthings more difficult for Canadians of Indian background\nwho want to travel back and forth between the two countries.\nThat obviously will have an effect on Indian people thinking of\nmoving to Canada or taking out Canadian citizenship.\n\nRegardless, where exactly would these people find cheaper housing?\nNew York? No, and they probably don't want to be in an America run by Trump.\nLondon? No.\nMelbourne? No.

Wrong information. Students and new immigrants including work permits just pay 1000 dollars for 1 bedroom basement apartment in Toronto. Many Indian home owners give them rents at much lower price than the market rate which goes up to 1400 dollars a month but since they are Indians and new to Canada they give them for 1000 dollars a month. If students 3 people live in that, if families 2 people. Indian home owners do that for food cooking smells and other reasons. I see some new immigrants both working couple make up to 90k per year but still live in basement apartments for more than 3 years to save money. Indians are money saving people, do not want to spend money.

now Indians don’t need to be in Canada there are too many black immigration and Indians are already black so interbreeding will only make Indians more black and fair and lovely will go bank corrupt

You or your reporters have no idea how many multi millionaires of Indian origin are there in Canada. So stop reporting this kind of crap. It does not help anyone.

LOOK IN MIRROR - 5 years of record Indian immigrants and record Khalistani criminals have ruined Canada....

Indian students are still clambering to enter into Canada. Canada had to impose strict rules to stop this mass migration. This news is crap operating from Dubai. Canada is trying to restrict student migrants.

Everything you mentioned about Canada is true but Indians know that Canada is still way way way way way way better than India that's why they are still moving to Canada.

Indians STILL WANT TO MOVE TO CANADA. They are turning Canada into India.

Lots of Indians here in Belleville Ontario. Great immigrants. Great quality of life. Jobs available. Canada is a big place. Come one come all.

I think Canada should stop application from India because a lot of Indians do not contribute to Canadian economies, instead they just want to get the Canadian passport to enable themselves to use the health system of Canada

Canada doing right things and send back all indian to their motherland.

How can an Indian wanting to live in Canada be the Canadian Dream??????????

With all these hardships, If Canada makes it visa free for a week to Indians, half of Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat would be in Canada

indian are used to have free free . CAnada is paradise compared to india.

Canada has never been easy, but it was the easiest path for unskilled, lowly educated Indian workers from rural areas to be able to migrate abroad, as they don't have a shot at legal pathways in the US or other EU countries. Of course unskilled workers will have a hard time here, as they would anywhere else. Tamper your expectations and know your capabilities.

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

Canada is now full of non Canadian citizens of convenience- chinese, indians, arabs, africans, latinos - all there for the benefits. Last visit to toronto and Vancouver saw and heard only non canadians. Glad to hear they're all leaving. Population replacement is never a good thing. For the next 60 years evety stays in their home country and improves it. Will be a more pleasant world.

Better not come to India. There are already too many Indians in Canada and likely being discriminated against.

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.

Numbers reported are true and its going to increase in 2024. I live in the capital and I see dozens of distress home sales due to increased mortgages. People face high taxation, heavily overburdened healthcare system, unaffordable rentals, loss of jobs, grocery prices over the roof, rapidly increasing crime rate and robberies, uncertainty about the good days again. Canada used to be a good place to settle, but now there are dozens of other countries that are welcoming with an affordable peaceful life. For Indians, there is absolutely no reason to hunt for a job or better life here as it involves start from the scratch for everything. India is rushing to become the fastest growing economy in the world with millions of opportunities and a solid political leadership, a history in the making.

I understand very well the point but do you really think that the situation is better in Western Europe for no white no Christian immigrants?\nWhat about racism? Do you think it’s less in Western Europe?\nAre Indians more successful there or in Canada and US?

It is because the record level illegal immigrants from India. They found indians are doing tanscational marriages just to come to Canada. Indians should avoid Canada and use their talent in India to make their country better. Jai Shree Ram.

True Canada of USA us not for le who are lazy and have no ambición, want everything easy.\ni.e for iazy Indians who want everything easy and with rishwat debe kam karna etc.\nStay in India with lots of ways too make money with corruption.\nUSA AND XANADA IS NOT FOR THEM

You must also tell to which those people went after leaving Canada. To India or some other developed country. I am sure that those folks must not have landed in India. Canadian immigrants are far far far far far better then Indians living in India.

It's incredible how Indians emigrate in mass from their country. It is almost like they all hate living in their country and look to end up anywhere possible but in India, like UK, Canada, Australia, USA, Germany, Singapore, UAE, etc.

How conveniently BBC ignored the issue of safety of indians in canada with the rise of drug mafia and khalistani terrorism/extremism.

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.

It’s a zhithole, cheapest house in poorest province is 300,000 while salaries are 45,000 a year where you take home 30,000 in a year for high taxes but people are so stupid that just won’t stop immigrating cuz they think is just like the US where you work hard and you are rewarded. Canada is not. The more you work the higher taxes you pay. Life is expensive , housing is in crisis and healthcare is gone. But philipinos indians and Africans won’t stop coming here thinking that lifestyle is similar to US where only cultural and languages are shared. Quality of life it’s worst and worst every year. Thanks to our honourable prime minister narcissist and tyrant JT.

Yes please go back to indian paradise and stay there. For every one who leaves 4 come to Canada. God bless Canada, my beautiful home.

Canada is good if you have LOT of money. Not fit for most middle class Indians anymore.

How many non Indians would immigrate to India for a better life?\n\nIn context, even today, millions of non Canadians will immigrate to Canada for a better life.\n\nI moved to Canada two years ago from India and it was the best decision ever.\n\n@wion Offer proper context when reporting. This news is so biased. When you compare apples to apples, Indian is no better.

Canada has a housing shortage of 3.5 million, not 345,000 claimed in this video. Decades of restrictions on building new homes by local MPs caused this issue because new homes will change the character of neighborhoods. Indian students should not come to Canada unless they are enrolled into computer sciences or skilled trades.

The headline is wrong. These people they interviewed are not permanent residents. Therefore they can’t apply for citizenships. They interviewed these Indians who were international students. Who come here misrepresenting themselves in their visa applications. Pretending to be students but come here to work and stay. Canadian government put stricter rules on them to crack down on bogus immigration consultancy and colleges that exploit these students. This news segment is not 100 percent clear. It is true there are pr or naturalized citizens of Canada that leave the country to move back to their home country or move to another country but not all are Indians.

Life is not a bed of roses in Canada or for that matter in any where in the world but it is 1000 times better than India and 2000 times better than Bangladesh. \nBTW I am from Bangladesh. \nAs an Indian media personality calling life is Canada is poor. Did you check the place out of your studio?

I like how it talked about Canada and then mostly showed Indian people with student visas lol. Like yeah fuck the people who were born here I guess.

I’m Indian who moved to Canada in 1969……..over the last 8 years Trudeau has turned Canada into a woke garbage dump. If you love life, liberty, and the pursuit of opportunity, stay in your country, you will have more freedoms and opportunity. Canada is now being turned into a woke nightmare! It has never been a racist country in the past…….but it is now. Justin Trudeau is a master clown.

I think Canada will be just fine without new Indians.

Huge amount of Indian people in Canada is depressing. All this “students” who works for 40 hours per week…

Is Canada immigration all about Indians? Why not report about other countries citizens suffering there too?

people go to Canada to move to USA\nAnd now they are killing Indians\n

I cannot immigrate to Canada because there are too many indians immigrating to Canada. Deport indians from all englsih speaking countries.

Not a big surprise most are giving up on Canada, even its own citizens.\nAlso, before the 35% student visa cut annouced by Canadian government, Indian students who who make 38% of Canada's student population, had 80% less new applications from India, after the Trudeau fiasco. So, 35% cut is just a facade to hide the obvious damage.

why is it so easy for indians to roll into canada but for australians it is very hard? we actually have money and we are clean

The title suggests the video is about Canada, and they spent the entire time in the report in India. This is precisely the problem there is Canada, everything is about Indians.

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

The reason is because Canada is like Indian country now. The 80% population of Canada are Indian people.

Sometimes I feel like I’m living in India, not Canada, too many Indians here

I pray no Indians come to Canada ❤️ we don’t need Canada where terrorist organizations is funding the political parties who are in power and Indians are in threat or targeted in Canada.

Unfortunately there has been Indian students killed in the US and some bad things in Canada as well.
