There's a college named cestar college in Toronto whose rep in India did the same with us. It is not even a college most of the teachers are not qualified and do not teach anything in class. Agents in india cheated us and sent us to tjis college

At my university in Vancouver, masters were mostly Indian ? and even undergraduate is also like 100% International students. The difference is the school has several branches located in NJ, Canada, and the UK. I've never heard of a negative event happening though. interesting

Why? How can you pay such a huge amount and get scammed each year? In Punjab, these agents even produce movies to lure people. 90% of Indian students who get scammed are from Punjab. People are selling land and later committing suicide. It's a huge industry in Punjab, and people are killing themselves to reach Canada.

Canadian parents/students we to paid 30-50% tax when we work here. some of this money help to reduce our tuition fee. You guys and your parents don’t paid tax here so you have to paid the full tuition fee. Vancouver and Toronto has one the highest cost of living in the world, . Even we has it a lot trouble living here due to such high cost,so of course it would be hard for you too.

I feel sorry for these students. Not only international students, Canadian citizens even could not distinguish the colleges just being there which sold a lie.

lol man can't even speak the language. What a joke

It wouldn't take much research to find this out. Put that smartphone to good use. Even word of mouth amongst the predominant group must happen or maybe start a Facebook group? If Canada began denying students VISA to them in order 'to protect' them, there would be an outcry. All to say, it's the parents and student responsibility to do their due diligence.

Even applyboard consultants do the same thing just for the sake of money

Thank u for covering this is as bad everywhere else and even the big name Universities do this too not just the colleges.

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

good u stay calm otherwise turn into horrible. police officer didn't even listen to u.

Obviously he's is religious person but bro literally you are not allowed to bring prohibited thing why to carry life threatening things in university even students are not allowed to carry lighter might can get suspended

I had friends both male and female in school , no one india ever questioned them . Its their practise and they even came in school like this .

What's wrong with this? Even if it's ceremonial you are not in India, considering the violence that happens in the schools of America that's was probably what anyone would have done.

It's absolutely disgusting how ignorant so many people are - many of them white and unfortunately Indians themselves. And then you idiots ask why Sikhs criticize India, you can't even support your own people. And these same white white people probably protect their amendment to carry guns like no tomorrow. Fucking hypocrites. Shame on you all.

As a Muslim I feel pain for him. Becoz look at his face how much he feel insulted and traumatized that he did not do anything just he is following his religion and he got arrested just for wearing kirpan and that even kirpan is allowed to wear in all over world for sikh. And look at the University they just issued apology and they just come clear.

I live in india and i havent seen any of my sikh friends in schools, colleges and even in my work place carrying a kirpan or knife, i have seen only nihangs or sikh priest carrying them. I think when you move to a foreign land you tend to show your identity aggressively to be different, even muslims in western countries are more radical than here.

I can understand the world is not understanding Sikh perspective till date, but all those so called Hindu(they do know the importance of kirpan for a Sikh)but still finds a way to criticise Sikhs, even though their ancestors and themself are alive today because of Sikhs and the sacrifices made my Sikh gurus. Unthankful people of india(hindus) not all thought.

So the Americans can carry guns but an Asian can't even wear their traditional beliefs .

I have seen videos of Sikh truck drivers keeping even swords. Any kind of weapon shouldn't be allowed in the name of religion in public places. A weapon is a weapon what ever u call it in the name of religion. Apt action taken here.

keep your relogious belief at your home state ..even in india they should nt be alllowed to carry this in public outside their home state. nobody can guarantee the mental state of a human.recently a video went viral where a sikh guy who was a goon publicy stabbed a person over a verbal fight. well done by police and there was no need for apology by college. a country or state should run by their own rules and culture .

I am an Indian and even I will not support this. Religion should be followed in homes and not in institutions like colleges. The educational institution can have its own rules. Incidents of rage can happen at any time and can not be predicted.

I think some people in a comment section are so dumb they apologized for what happened and some fucking people from India criticizing that they should follow the rules lol even in Europe we have right to carry kirpan bcoz maybe gore can understands Sikh religion more then some people in India

Dear World people, Please don’t believe in Muslims and punjabis, if they can’t be of their own country and demand another country even if born in india, forget when they are expats in your country.. jai shree ram ??????

I understand the safety concern. Even here in India, i have never seen a Sikh wearing kirpan like that over the clothes. It's mostly inside the t shirt.

Glad he was arrested., if you knife is so important go back where you came from., im indian too I know about this religious but this is not your country even if you born here you need obey the law., who know your mental status and possessing a knife which might hurt or kill somebody, or who knows somebody snatches from you and attacks someone., you are not kid to carry religious toys..,

If anyone wants to move or visit montreal, you can very well make it without speaking french. The very vast majority of montreal speaks english as their second language. However, I still strongly recommend you learn at least a bit of french as the further you get from montreal, the less english speakers you will encounter (this can be as low as 30km away). Also, even if people do speak english as their second language, no one likes to get forced to adapt their speaking to someone who doesn't even try to make an effort to speak in the local language. So it is best if you learn at least the basics like: Hello -> Salut; Do you speak english? -> Parlez-vous anglais?; I don't speak french -> Je ne parle pas français;... And other basic sentences you would expect to say. More likely than not people will still switch to english if you know nothing in french, but usually people are more than happy if you try to speak their language and it makes for a more enjoyable experience all around.

Why do you have to keep a knife at college? You fking in shorts with knife not even having proper shikh outfit.... Is it just for showoff?

Bruh..he just wanted attention i guess..you are on University grounds..a place for education..not to display your religious culture....even in India ..uniformity is maintained and you are in foreign land and everyone doesn't get all the world culture inspite of u saying ..u r Sikh and everything is allowed everywhere and the to the seculars as well ..keep your relegion in your home not the place where you study.Period

Until you are white \nYou are threat of peace \nBt if you are white and walk in highschool with guns you are still not threat ? even you're interested shoot whole school kids ?

He should have kept it within shirts. Even if someone is carrying gun he doesn't walk around with it. There is a way people perceive and that should be respected as well.

Even in India also not that much size is not allowed in public places..

Even though I'm Indian and would want to side with the Sikh student, I can't. Kirpan along with other accessories were used by Sikhs for fighting against Mughals back in the old days. There's no reason for Sikhs to be holding all these accesories now, especially at a place of learning.

It's not wrong on the part of Cops. This is new to them . When they'll get to know that it's been going for so long , they'll consider it acceptable. After all Kirpans are even allowed at Airports in India . Everyone trust Sikhs . Sikhism shares love among all people.

Cop did the right thing. We all know that in sikh tradition male and even female wear Kirpan which is a symbol to protect yourself when you are in serious danger. But as we see in the video the guy is wearing on top of his shirt which absolutely incorrect it has to be worn inside not from outside

You shouldn't bring a weapon into a public place,even if it part of your religion. It's a hazard for others. Someone else can grab it and use it to harm others

Just Follow the country law. When you are in India it might be fine but we cannot expect the same thing to other country as well. Even when you have onboarded the flight from India you would have asked to put the knife inside the baggage.

I tried the CRS score simulator, and I cannot believe my score is way below the latest cutoff. I'm 35 years old with PhD degree, already maximized the IELTS score. The only thing that can still bump up my score is if I can get a job offer in Canada, but even with that the score is still just a bit below the cut off. Is it really difficult to pass the cut off? does this mean I'd have 0 chance of getting the ITA?

small cities in Canada are not Safe for immigrants, they are racist and dangerous. even people who work for government and doctors, , vary racist
