The nation is only good as its leaders, so not surprising about its tainted reputation.

If your hopes for the future are sneaking into another country instead or trying to fix your own country, then don't be surprised if Americans say no.

Those are all Cubans, Venezuelans, Haitians and Ecuador. Trump shut down the amnesty rule. This I love. Mexicans are the hard workers, the other races get benefits. I was not aware. They get $1200 per month, each. This came a surprised to me.

They were informed/warned way ahead of time, so it should not be a surprise to anyone! The majority of the American citizens voted for Trump partly because they want him to fix the migration problems that developed during the Biden-Harris leadership! It's time for the border crisis to end!

As an NRI I honestly don't see what the problem is with this and if anything more stringent measures should be put in place. Look at the state of Canada. Is anyone honestly surprised that anti-Indian sentiment exists? It isn't racist. It's common sense. Behave and assimilate or you're not welcome. This should be a rule (and not just an ideal) that all nations and people should aspire to.

I am surprised. Here she talks about visa rejections and how India's passport raking has been falling. \n\nIn lecture given by her at Oxford Union she was all gung-ho on how Indian passport is now respected across the globe. And how even British bow to Indians and how other countries are welcoming Indians with folded hands.

As an American I had great love for Indians while growing up together in school. After we graduated I even travelled twice to India ( Pune, Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai) for vacations.\nHowever, my experience in India was unbelievable. \nAs a young American at that time I never believed Indians could have such horrible characters even when my parents and close friends had told me about it earlier.\nAfter my experience in India I decided to pay closer attention to any Indian I came across in the US, and surprisingly i discovered Indians are not only very corny by nature but are also very self centered, greedy and selfish kinds of humans. Although not all Indians, but 8 out of 10% naturally have this character which is disgusting indeed.\nFor a long time most people never noticed that about Indians because they pretend to be quiet and mostly gentle. However behind an Indian soft and gentle appearance lays very corny, crooked, self centered, and double standard fellows.\nAnyone who doubts my observations should also make the research by themselves.\nYes, they are good bad and ugly people in every race and country, but Indians are clearly out of the context as their double standard and corny life styles of extreme pretence are undiscovered danger to any society.

I was surprised that the video didn't mention the scam involving low-skilled labor from the UAE. Many companies and brokers bring thousands of low-skilled, low-educated workers on short-term visas (as short as three months for two years of employment). These workers often end up being misled and become illegal immigrants because companies prefer to pay the fine, which is cheaper than a two-year visa. Additionally, these companies often retain the passports of the workers, preventing them from returning to their home countries even if they wish to do so. This practice severely impacts the workers and contributes to the bad reputation of the Indian passport, as statistics show an increasing number of Indian passport holders not respecting visa durations.\n\nThe UAE is home to over 3.89 million Indian expats, constituting over 37.96% of the country’s total population. Reports indicate that a significant number of these workers do not respect the time limitations of their visas, further exacerbating the issue.\n\nI do believe, as this is more likely to affect the situation than any conspiracy theories.

Cos they are supposed to...look its not a surprise. If we can elect uneducated people to the parliament...this is nothing in conparison.

I'm positively surprised how real and down to earth the Indians here are writing. Ignoring issues isn't going to help anyone.

They become a nuisance to the natives when they settle in huge population so it wouldn't be a surprise if indians visas are rejected.

Palki’s logical arguments are mostly spot on. However, I am surprised that she asks this question but doesn’t not answer with sound reasons so the people can learn and improve. The reasons for rejections may *possibly* be due to the number of Indians than have over stayed their tourist visas or due to illegal entry or international students that have not returned but rather stayed back illegally. Also possibly due to certain behaviours against women or cheating/corruption practices taken to the new country. Palki should do that research and then present based on evidence which she usually does a great job with.

Palkhi as much as I like watching your news your views here need to address real issues. I am a proud Indian who has lived in the UK for over 50 years. However I have to say whilst there are a lot of highly skilled Indian immigrants on work visas who contribute immensely to this country. however we now have a huge community of Indians those who have come over on illegal documents or on holiday visas and then never go back. They end up working in menial jobs or not working at all and perhaps this is an issue India needs to address. Sadly these immigrants will never be an economically contributing asset to this country or any other country and I am not surprised that the visa rate rejection is so high.

Why am I not surprised she's from Alberta... ?

No one should be surprised. Just visit any part of Ontario to figure out.

The way Indians behave abroad, I am not even surprised.

Kosovo has a very small population as also Cuba, Burkinafaso etc\nWith 1.4 billion and many wanting to move away from the country it is no surprise our passport is lower ranked

It is surprising they still give out millions of visas while a significant number of travelers abuse the system! Rest of the world also does not want illegal immigrants/visa abusers the same way India doesn't. They might reconsider their rejection if India offers free deportation flights to back home for the millions of Indian illegal immigrants around the world and do a better job of screening potential abusers at the emigration step.

In their desperation to escape India, they lie, over stay and then remain as undocumented illegals. Experts in cheating the benefit systems of host nations. Nobody is surprised except Palki.

You're surprised ???? Have you seen what they do when they go abroad??? I'm surprised that there's no country that's rejected 100%

am not surprise with India rank i thought it might be lower lol plus our embassy is third class

Habibi go to Thailand , Vietnam and Sri Lanka.\n\n Surprisingly 3 Buddhist countries ❤\n\nLove from India. \n\nWe will be honestly send quality tourists to these 3 countries . My fellow Indians : please well behave, dont be too loud resoect their cultures. They love peace, quietness and respect!

I will never understand any Canadian who moves to the states and is surprised that there is virtually no safety net.

I am surprised that Canada is not yet in this list. The Indian crowd has already overpowered all other nationalities and upsetting the balance of ethnicities.

Omg she didn't blame Khalistani for the 6. Im so surprised how this can happen. I think she forgot to, but she will do it in the next video when she mentions someone from Canada.

Passport mobility was one of the reasons my parents made their choices in the 1970s and 80s. I made choices in the 2000s that increased my options. My kids and I have three passports plus an overseas Indian citizenship. It would be great to see the Indian passport gain mobility — I have always been surprised by its low rankings over the years.

The government gives immigrants courses on skirting our laws and gives them money to start busineses, this doesnt surprise me at all, we reap what we sow as a country.

The east coast ruined canada with liberal left wing politics over the years. People from your area ruined canada and now fleeing the problem they created. Im not surprised you want to leave because Ontario is full of leftwing stupidly. If you voted liberal im happy your leaving.

Perhaps he should go to Gaza and tell Hamas that. They are the problem and surprisingly Hamas is mostly made up of Palestinians. They don't want a two state solution They just want an Islamic state without Jews and anyone else for that matter. Islam is the actual problem for all of humanity.

corruption of capitalism. This govt and capitalists should be surprised by large-scale revolutions. In my country, the govt is providing urban poor citizens with house and lot for rent to own.

Really I'm Sorry about your situations as it seems a lot of peoples whom like you. I Believe when the beautiful hidden arrangements of destiny which is always surprising the clean people like you. That is why ? US President Mr. Trump has rise the right decision at right the time to involving Canada under the USA authority as new American State for rehabilitation the miserable situations available at the Canadian Nation which shocking me personally. As long as I'm was always dreaming to continue my higher educations at Canadine Academies due to the positive feedback of the educational system at Canada ? considered as one of the best in World. But It doesn't reflect to the Canadian nation as it should be. Once More sorry again and I hope US government expediting something to emerging Canada under it's Wings as this step should be done since old time back ago.

I'm not surprised her family don't talk to her.

I never been in Canada so I don't know but if Canada is I wouldn't be surprised!

Delivery guy has too notch Emotional Intelligence. I am surprised abuser just got away without his teeth knocked out.

I am surprised that these white people have problem with INDIAN IMMIGRANTS but they are too lazy to see the situation in U.K., France, Germany, where jihadis are destroying European cities.People forget to note jihadi attack on 1 st jan in New Orleans where more than 10 innocent people died. We Indians are peaceful and would NEVER kill others for religion.❤️❤️❤️????????

If you come here, don't be surprised how you're treated. Trudeau invited you, Canadians didn't.

I wouldn't be surprised if these local for profit colleges are also owned by Indian investors.

All that nonsense she said a month ago has respectfully changed now. ???\n\nBREAKING: After initially saying NO to receiving deported illegals, the President of Mexico just suddenly announced that she will allow President Trump to use Mexico as a deportation hub, even for non-Mexican migrants.\n\n“We will receive them here. We are going to receive them properly, and we have a plan.”\n\nIt wouldn't surprise me if all the talk of President Trump using the military to crush the drug cartels has caused her to change her mind. After all, the cartels are the ones who really run Mexico.\n\nThe closer we get to inauguration day, the more folding we'll see from leaders worldwide.

I think the Canadian government has made it far too easy for anyone to immigrate. As an Indian living in India, I can attest that many of us look for the easiest way out and often lack a strong moral compass. Additionally, most of us struggle with adapting to new environments, possibly due to an archaic education system that emphasizes rote learning over conceptual understanding. Many Indians also face challenges with proficiency in the English language.\n\nUnfortunately, Canada’s relatively lenient immigration policies have allowed a significant number of unskilled individuals from India to settle there. Many of these individuals have been reluctant to embrace Canadian culture. Corruption may have played a role as well, with some local Canadian colleges and universities admitting students who lacked merit. Given the extreme levels of corruption in India, this is not surprising.\n\nThe root issue lies in the Canadian government’s lack of strictness and vigilance when formulating immigration rules and policies. Many Indians, frustrated with the current government and financial hardships, seek to leave the country in hopes of a better life in the West. While educated individuals follow proper processes, the uneducated often resort to questionable means. In Canada’s case, this negligence on the part of both governments has had unfortunate consequences.\n\nI hope stricter policies and more accountability lead to better outcomes in the future.

It's no surprise...there are no jobs back home and economy is bad..

They’re hiding and laying low. Not a surprise. The US has so many police the ones hiding willl get picked up someday. If they’re dangerous our FBI can find anybody.

Why is it that the United States, Europe and maybe Canada are so much against Migrants? Virtually every person in Canada is an Immigrant from Europe! Virtually everyone in the United States is an Immigrant from Europe or forced into Slavery from Africa as well as the Chinese Immigrants who helped build the railroads. I am especially surprised by Canada?If they are actually able to do this, it in essence would be the same as cutting off your nose to spite your face! I am getting the impression that many Countries are not as independent as they often boast about!??

Seein how Canada seems to be turnin totalitarian, I wouldn't be surprised if they are in detainment camps

Go back to India when your time here has expired it’s not their right the were here temporarily so lady don’t act surprised also crime is up from all this immigration

MR FUGESI doesn’t want the son to go in his country but FUGESI is trying to go inside the son!\nThere is a surprise waiting and ur country in the future and for you Mr Fugesi ……it goes in line with the thinking of being humbled and knowing your place!

Due to CANADIANS THEMSELVES (you can’t blame anyone else...) who voted for Trudeau Canada turned into a total and complete sh*th0le. No surprise a leftist and their friends and allies to another country and its people once again.
