It made me really sad to hear stories like this when I went to school. We had 3 Indian students in our class and I became good friends with one of them. He was 16K in debt with the recruiter that sent him here, and was expected to pay for his brothers upcoming wedding. His dad used to be a farmer but he was disabled now so his parents couldnt contribute anything. He worked 3 jobs and lived in a house crammed with 6 international students. He is now back in India and married with a beautiful baby, but I dont know if he has paid down that debt. I worry about him

That's very sad but true reality. \nWhy don't the young people make their country a better place for themselves, instead of leaving it to persue a fantasy .\nParents shouldn't encourage their children to go in a strange, lonely and harsh environment to suffer for what??\nHeartbreaking !!!

It’s so sad to watch this

Sad but not surprised. Canada has long time ago ditched God from its public sphere. Money and power are the newest gods, and these gods require the sacrifices of human destinies.

It's tuff for these students so sad ? wow

It is appalling and really sad to see this happening to innocent students. This should be unacceptable.

This is sad there must be more Universities in India

So sad to see these young students from my country in such pitiable conditions!

Why Canada ???\nNo 1 - Canada is the Easiest PR for students in the western world. Australian PR requires IELTS individual 7.\nNo 2- Canadian tuitions are cheaper compared to Australia.\n\nAnd sadly,\nThese international students are taking worthless courses or courses just made up for them.

I’ve lived here for 8 years and the depression, loneliness and sadness have finally caught up with me and I’m going back home to my country Brazil.

You walking sack of hammers the Canadian people do not want more people! we do not need more people! You bring in third world refugees from garbage conditions and slam them into our workforce with little to no training and hand them our hard earned tax dollars every single time it's some sad case from a backwards country where we have to adapt to make them comfortable by putting our own lives in public out of place how about creating sustainable jobs for people who are born here rather then pull some refugee deal to hide contracts with countries to bring in foreign workers and line your dam pockets there is not enough jobs as it is and we are in a recession so you think by telling people oh we are bringing in more refugees to create jobs is the answer? get this piece of trash out of office and place someone whos in our best interest there rather then ones with ideas of external corporations where you going to put them to work ?! Tim Hortons get f bud and take a long walk off a short peer where you have them coming in on boats taking jobs from our younger generation that's a fact

This is sad only for the students as the university will fail you without thinking twice if you can not pass. your money wasted.

22:50 Oh this poor girl is about to be so sad.

Sadly Saskatchewan is also extremely dangerous due to extreme weather (mostly tornadoes) because no one issues warnings for them because of there not being enough people. Had and tornado go right through my small town and it did f5 damage but wasn’t even rated.

Sad ..as a Canadian Iam saying no thanknyou

the problem is immigrants that come here are vastly underemployed. very sad, very wrong.

this is very sad, the end of canada as we know it is near

Go to apartments in North Bay for rent. You will see 2 listings that have 1000 views already. There is to many immigrants here already to the point there is no housing. I have no problem with people coming here if we had the housing but sadly we do not. Not even for the people who were born and raised here.

why cant india have any schools in there country . sad for students but its indian robbing indians. very simple

Taking advantage of desperate people, very sad. ?

This is more of migration crisis and international students is a loophole. The trade-off is to gain residence and colleges are making money out of it, so are the middle men. Sad story ?. Trust me India ?? has far better education.

It is a Sikh tradition. Very sad to see these ill informed Americans

It's really sad to watch Nigerians are the most self hatred people I have ever known like we're not the only country facing crisis in the whole Africa or in the world yet we're always acting like there's nothing good about the country I hope Nigerians learn how to respect protect and work on thier country instead of always finding comfort in whites man's country' besides they are the ones who make the continent of Africa what its today I hope we learn before its too late

Corruption in their home country made them to leave their mother land, else who wants to leave their home, thats the irony of their life. Sad but true.

Government will always try to find a way to make some money , it’s sad

Its sad to say our government is part of the largest skilled worker human trafficking networks to of ever of existed in the history of this country.

It is extremely sad to see and hear what these Indians foreign students are promised and it is a sham. Canada is exploiting these international students, and this will have a negative impact on Canada. \nIndian school curriculum is the best in the world, why cheat these trusting young people with a false promise. \nI never knew Canada is such a mess hoax and sham. \nShame on you Canada.

INDIA IS A COUNTRY OF SCAMMERS WHO SCAM THEIR OWN YOUNG PEOPLE JUST SAD \n\nMEANWHILE MODI DOES PR ALL DAY

Sad! Fellow Indians scamming fellow indians. I don't understand even BPO centers in India are adept at scheming and scamming not only fellow Indians but also international victims. It's time for Indian government to shape up and look into this mess!

Oh God whata sad n pathetic story...

It's a sad reality, I'm not from India, but watching this bought tears to my eyes, this is not a way to treat innocent kids who's parents work so hard to give them a better life and Education, shame on everyone who's involved., this is not what Canada is about, this is not the Canada I know...shame, shame, shame ..

So this looting by Canadian schools is similar to Phone Call scam that loot senior citizens. We humans no longer have empathy for each other and want to make money via conning people and looting their hard earned money. Very sad.

Sad story really, but there are many other international students who get it even worse. At least Indian students speak English, have a very large support community in Canada (where pretty much every other person is from India). I only speak because I know. Try coming to this land with no English and no connections at all ...and from a small country in South America, then you really are in trouble.

Horrible story .I am sad to see those students suffering as I am also mother of a college student ..May Lord Jesus protect them and bless them with bright future ...FromEU

This is the sad fact of these poor souls who come here to make a better life for themselves and their families. The struggle is real??

so sad to see this

The father loves his daughter ❤. Vary sad but truth.

What’s is Canadian Government and Ontario Government is doing \nSHAME ? SHAME ?SHAME ? So Sad. ?

This was surprisingly sad.

It is sad, a girl in this city doesnt want to be here. Wants to go home but parents wont let her.\nYou can see teard welling up in her eyes

This issue does not have enough coverage, I'm so glad you guys made this video as even I knew nothing about the problems these students were having. Seeing her father makes me so sad but I'm happy he's able to stay positive and proud of her

WoW finally someone is making a record ? of all these sadness

It’s sad but why would int students pay the same as Canadian? Why are parents so desperate to send their kids back home by taking massive loans and crying a river when it’s your own choice? India got quality education too

Wow!!! This made me so heartbroken and sad, looking at the plight of International Students and experiencing it firsthand myself, I just want to appreciate the true Journalism The Fifth Estate is doing. This is What true journalism is Putting light on social issues and projecting them for people to think and make corrections in society.

It is sad how one state from our country is desperate to travel over to Canada.. and that state (province) is the one performing pathetically on multiple economic parameters.. it's a failed state and it's being exploited

Too sad

India has the best Education in the world why parents do this for their the future generation?so sad studying is not like working

O lord, this is sad Nigerians not wanting to leave a country that the cold will take it's toll on their health. I hope there government will see this and fix Nigeria very soon.

Please translate this to Punjabi & Hindi .... so parents & students are aware.. this is beyond sad ..heartbreaking

Very sad, both governments of Canada & India have to step in.
