Nice interview and news for applicant who received visa. Their passports showing RED colors. Are they Afghani . What is the meaning of Family visa. I dont know. A visa is visa but Caling Family visa means applying with family OR it is mean something else.

Fifth estate, this is just one example of many doing this and more. Exploiting humans since Canada was soliciting first nation's and treaty was established in 1876 or something like that. Reconciliation has been on going for years, many aunties ago.

Top something

This is truly heartbreaking, I feel so sorry for International Students who came here with dreams but were given something far below that. I am a Canadian born student, brought up and raised in Brampton but I made friends with many international students. I don't understand how International students have to pay 3-4x our tuition, cover their living expenses, and have work restrictions on their study permit. The truth is competion is everywhere and companies are competing for top students who go to credible universites. I don't see how international students are suppose to compete with these students when there is a shortage of high-paying jobs. I truly feel bad. I advise students to tell their stories to their younger siblings and cousins back home and prevent them from living a hard-working life with little reward. Advise them to complete their studies back home and find a job in big cities back home. As a domestic student I struggle to pay for my own expenses and I could not imagine if I did not have my parents support. This is fraud on another level!!!

If something seems to good to be true……

canadian govt should do something to curb down the prices of real estate ..many filthy landlords are charging their whole emi from students as basement rent ?

Thank you Fifth Estate for bringing this story to the forefront! It needed much attention and the government needs to step in and do something now!

The problem here is that Canadian government and Canadian colleges think that international students mean Sikh students from Punjab... that's all I saw in this video.. when I saw the title of the video, I thought I might know about international students... but all I'm seeing is Sikhs, Sikhs everywhere... where is multiculturalism? Where are the other ethnicities? Are we missing something here?

Sean Frazier is something

Please, do something to stop this lies and greed. Students and parents/families are suffering in silence.

Now THIS IS JOURNALISM. amazing work CBC! Now hopefully something changes as a result of this.

This is very sad?International students tuition fees in canada is overly outrageous. I hope something can be done about it

all illiterate Punjabis creating a ruckus for genuine people. Failure of the current government. Punjabis are ditching Punjabis. People are ready to pay millions of dollars. Due to these people so many back logs, something has to be done to stop this.

Just a shred of research beforehand would alleviate most of these issues. People seriously don't do any research before committing to something worth 74 years of salary? WHY?!

I feel awful for them!! Something needs to be done at government level! This is pure exploitation

This is sickening sad...the GREED is disgusting.I feel so bad for the parents and the children. The weight of this has to be unbearable for all. Hopefully getting this out to the public works... something gets done for all. Where is all that money going?!

❤Thanks for great work you do and I hope the government will do something about this issue and other issues you report to us.\n❤Charging 5X to foreign students are not fair and unjust and i feel sorry for international students and their families \n❤Many thugs of Sikh community in Canada are doing scams, frauds and corruptions in our innocent and unguarded systems and our government should stop them.\n❤

Hey good luck. Love my country of natural beauty , never had a problem with products , \nSo is Canada, Beautiful both countries are similar Look to your self , life might be the same for you in Canada , I think you will have the same problems in Canada , \n.The word opportunity is overused. Perth is great but you have picked a city that cost so much to travel by air Prices for air flights are cheaper from other cities You need some facts. , even tho it’s just your opinion , we are all immigrants in this country.\nThink you have been bitten by someone ,you are angry \n\nI think something happened to you with our immigrant dept. sorry your leaving with no happy times

Africans being forced into slavery by their own people is greedy and heartbreaking and that cruelty is exactly what we have today. The cruelty of some blacks is outrageous, ask any elderly man or woman who was punched in the face by one of these cruel ones. What I don't dig is how every black person with a mediocre platform MUST talk about something black. In one way it was a blessing when blacks were brought to the states. In Africa many blacks had to suffer through famine and had to eat insects, there have been many cases of genocide, slave trade and HIV. After the Republicans died freeing the slaves, blacks were afforded a whole new life. It hasn't been easy but for blacks, life before BLM was encouraging blacks to attend college and get great jobs and the people in these companies accepted and even made friends with them. These motivated blacks were a minority though and the reality is that many backs wasted their life wanting to be rap stars and gangsters...the latter has increased this stupidity a hundred fold since BLM. Stop talking about blacks, how you perceive they are being treated, slavery, reparations and what ever else you have up your sleeve and start focusing on the very youth who will be on this planet when we are are old and helpless..

You remain calm into this situation that is really something and right thing. Now they already know it was wrong.

Hello Gursahib,\nI'd like your two cents on something to make an informed decision. I'm a software engineer based out of India. I am stuck in a dilemma. I am not sure if I should move to Canada on Study Visa or wait for Express Entry (PNP)/Work Permit? My worst case CRS score is 420. \nI have approx 5 years of experience. I am starting my IELTS prep shortly and I am not sure if I should prepare both academic and general or one of them.\nThanks in advance.

At the time when this was made one of the necessity was when sikh community had to protect people of india from tyrant Muslims rulers but in todays age it does not hold the same value or necessity so can or should be changed for something less threatening.

Learn Something From Savage 21

I mean have your KIRPAN or whatever… but no where in the religion does it say to carry it like that? Have it under your shirt or something, if not then you are asking for it??? \n\nHe thinks their offending him but imagine because if this everyone allowed to carry a knife to school ? How deadly would that become amongst young dumb and full of hormone adult teens ? \n\nBe proud of your ethnicity and faith but dont act arrogant when you know it doesn’t fit the environment?

The police did what they are supposed to do, think of some.idiot from other country showing of something or following his terror cultural practice in our India\n\nRespect the country you are currently in, dont be a#@holes and act like its your country now

dude actually thought he did something there, I also want my religious right to carry a rocket launcher in campus

Well never heard that any Sikh intentionally hurted or threatens or something like that did to any other human. That is only for self-defense, why don't these\n Racist MFS can't get it ??

I get it, he is religious. \nbut you cannot give one religion the rights to open carry a weapon. so yeah, I know Sikhs are very nice people, but they can just carry something like a wooden knife or something to satisfy their religion and satisfy the law

He still can use a plastic knife or something which gives a win win situation for both

Why would anyone bring something like that to a public place or school. Your religion and culture is yours personal, but the security rules are for everyone.

The amusing thing is it's legal to carry a AR 15 and they deem a ceremonial knife something objectable.

There's forsure a middle ground that can be reached if the school just worked with him, he could just weld the knife to the scabbard so it can't be used as a weapon and then prove its not dangerous to the school or something. There's alot of ways this could be dealt with hopefully he finds compromise.

School me le jane ki kya jaroorat hai ??why to take something like this to school…mujhe samjh nahi aata .. koi vaheguru ji ne gussa to hona nahi is baat ke liye ..

If you want wear all your religious items for all the time, why do you have to leave the where this is permitted. Sir, that knife is a religious symbol only to you, it is weapon for others in a different country, something threatening.

Wait until we see if we shake the current tyrannical government we have here in Canada. As it is, the PM can lock you up and freeze your bank account if you say something he doesn’t like. Sounds simplistic and exaggerated but in essence it is true. Thankfully we have a champion for freedom PIERRE POILIEVRE so there is a ray of hope. If not for his success, I’d say don’t come. Many of us will be leaving if we are not able to regain freedom here.

It's your culture in your country not in another . I agree with the police. If it was something harmless then fine its a knife. Do you now how many people get stabbed in London. How many mums and dads have buried there children.

As per time things changes\n\nHoly Guruji ordered to carry \nWeapon And other symbols.\n that was very dangerous era in history ..It was suitable & Necessary for Sikh community at 'that' Time.\n\nBut\nNowadays weapon is weapon\nSikh brothers must do something

Religion or not the guy brought a knife to a school. What did you think was going to happen? I get wanting to display something on you of your religion but you could have thought of something better then a decorative knife.

USA is the Dumbest place on Earth. Why the hell they don’t know how to respect someone’s religion. He was not using that knife and first of all thats not a knife thats a Kripan which means something that’s only be used against bad things and to protect weaker not to threaten innocents.

Why is he carrying it in the open? Tuck it inside or something if u must carry!

His crime the color of ur skin also something someone doesn’t understand brings a level of fear

C'mon dude at least bring a m4 or something like a classic S686 . No way you only brought a knife ?

I think police was right, he would have killed something, that's the terrorist attack type of something, prevention is better than cure, u can now a day do anything in name of custom of religion, like it is the custom.

How ignorant . They are the most helpful and kind hearted people on earth . The Sikhs. Its their custom to carry that . It’s so unfortunate due their turban many times they are identified as something else

If a Sikh start to hurt a person.. detain the person.. he must have done something wrong. That kind of trust we Indians have on Sikh people. Americans must have same. (I am not Sikh)

I could be wrong but I feel like he did wanted to happen something like this.\nI know few people who carry that type of knife but they put it inside there shirt not outside like he is doing.

i just noticed something two of the worst cities in the Maritimes are named saint-john lol saint-john NL and Saint-John NB

first of all.... its KIRPAN not KNIFE..\nsecondly... it cannot be use for stabbing or cutting something or someone bcs its again their beliefs

These religious symbols are integral part of sikh religion... but they are sharp and will cut \nSo its not something you want to carry into public spaces especially in another land\nAlso us is already facing a lot violent crimes inside schools and unis.. so no point in making others uncomfortable by carrying that along.. \nHope no one takes offence!
