Europe needs to mirror Trump's Border Security Policies. Trump has said it multiple times but media won't cover it...He is pro immigration but anti ILLEGAL immigration.

These anti immigrant comments are against humanity and the suffering of so many people

The fact that the only anti-immigration party, the PPC, has only 2% popular support is the reason the OECD predicts will have the worst standard of living performance in the developed world.

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.

Firstpost is the most Nationalistic channel right now in the nation, that's why you will see every single Anti National in the comments...and a lot of bots.

Come to China. China no reject Indians. Oo wait, I forgot this is anti-China Palki we are talking about.

JUST BECAUSE THE WEST IS USING INDIA TO STOP THE RISE OF BRICS OR FINANCING INDIAN ANTI CHINA HATE AND PROPAGANDA DOES NOT MEAN YOUR WESTERN MASTERS WANT YOU INDIANS IN THEIR NATIONS.. SORRY INDIA THIS IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INDIA AND CHINA..THE CHINESE KNOW THEY ARE NOT WELCOME IN THE WEST SO THEY DEVELOPED THEIR NATION WHERE WESTERNERS ARE FLOCKING TO CHINA. NO ONE RESPECTS A NATION WHERE 75 % OF THE POPULATION IS LIVING IN HELLISH POVERTY AND OPEN DEFECATION IS THE NORM. STOP DEMANDING THAT OTHER NATIONS TAKE IN YOUR OVER POPULATED POPULATIONS.YOU GUYS ARE CELEBRATING THE WORLDS LARGEST POPULATION, THEN TAKE CARE OF YOUR PEOPLE.

She always tries to sound like there is an agenda against India. Check timestamp 3:07. There is no agenda, let me explain why.\nThe rejection rate is a better measure than rejection numbers or visa fees. And I'm pretty sure that India has a lower rejection rate compared to many other countries. It is the sheer volume of applications that contribute to this. Even 1% rejection on 100k Indian visas is a 1000 rejected visas. While a less populous country may have 10% rejection out of 1000 visas which is 100 rejections. So, in % terms, India fare well despite having higher rejections.\nFiring shots at Kosovo, Cuba and B Faso is a cheap shot and unnecessary to push the point of passport rank. All countries have a right to determine who they allow into their country with lower restrictions. And they are under no obligation to open the gates to anyone. It is also common knowledge that the newer cohorts of Indian immigrants to the West are a bad representation of Indian society (best example - Canada). Hence the rising anti Indian Immigration stance. Immigration is a privilege and not a right. I hope that the Indian community understands that the visa rejections are a lesson and not an insult, and that they learn from this and become better ambassadors when they go overseas.

Well I was offended about the pot thing. As a Canadian I did NOT know that America's Marijuana comes from us. I thought it came from South America. \nIs it the legalization thing? Those stores didn't really last up here though. No real market for it. But it did make those preppy rich kids stick out like a sore thumb...\nAnd the foreigners certainly pushed those rich white kids RIGHT out of the marketplace. They're all jobless now....with the rest of us who lost their jobs during COVID or the Russian and Israel wars....when those foreigners wanted our jobs. Now we're on permanent no more Nice Canadian Anti-Migration revolt. ITs the tamest world conflict ever. Where are you from? Don't care. We can't discriminate. That would be RACIST. So its No to all.\n\nTotally true about Bieber though. I remember having a conversation with a friend saying 'they can keep him'.

It is because of congress and leftist anti india propoganda

Still you call canada as anti India country they gave most of visas to India. Why are we so ignorant or we value the most that gives nothing about us

As someone who has lived outside India for decades, the recent immigrants and tourists to the west from the India are the primary cause of anti-India visa sentiments.

Anti-immigration sentiment=Not wanting third world people to come to your country that litter everywhere, act with zero civic sense, break all the laws and increase corruption by hiring their own into positions of power

I worked in India for 6 years and then shifted abroad for a Masters, and now I am pursuing a fully funded PhD. In the UK, what I have observed is that the crop of students arriving from India are by the day lesser inclined towards studies and more in pursuit of the quick buck. Yes, getting a ‘UK based work experience’ is necessary to build the edge to compete against the wider international students post graduation and I have myself worked part-time in profiles which complimented my course in parallel to prioritising studies. However, the increasing trend amongst the masses (I do not want to generalise but yes this is unfortunately true and especially from certain states, the case is magnified: Read Punjab, Haryana, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Telangana) remains getting that student visa to earn quick buck to support themselves financially, chiefly, save up to dole out to so called ‘assignment writers’ which helps them pass the course to further graduate and transfer to a grad visa (again comes at a cost) which allows them 2 years worth of stay with no working hour stipulation post graduation. Thereon, work full time in laborious jobs with again not focussing on applying to full time opportunities in the field of study. Thus, what remains at the end of the day is lost time and opportunity and since I am only talking of people who come here on a Student VISA so primarily, the opportunity cost lost to upskill and further horizons. For the country’s perspective, getting cheap, skilled labour for an unskilled job is obviously an advantage but then there are cases of students not respecting their working hour restrictions, vandalising, bickering loudly, joining hands with the already operating extremist forces which instigate violence and hatred etc. In all, I think the resistance to not becoming bicultural which is a product of serious mental and physical toil and wasting time in frivolity is the main cause of the anti-immigration wave.

Western heart was widened to welcome refugees who are going to depend on their tax payers money as freebies and convert to anti social elements.\nWhen it comes to Indias who want to help their host nation by their skills, hardwork and talents are getting betrayed...\n\nLet jihad love those Westerns

All this hype about 5th largest economy does not impress the person @ the concerned foreign embassy who decides your fate. This is the same with Pak, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka. In future this anti immigrant sentiments in Europe is going to make matters even more difficult. As somebody commented, the Per Capita income in our country should improve to impress.

You are a anti national. Don't spread false news against India?\nDo you know better than prasant sir?

Non white anti immigration hate is quite high among local public in all these countries mentioned. Infact very high. There is pressure on governments to clamp down immigration to win elections. Race does play a part in such policies and i can confirm India certainly is in limelight in these countries when it comes to immigration.

Thanks for all the Donkeys it is a mess and there is a strong anti India sentiment ongoing. I would put a rule. If you reject a Visa please return the fees.

Opting job/residence visa for other countries is not anti India…they are earning more value for themselves so they can feed their family and responsibilities.

How about a few more major reasons why Indian Visas are being rejected by most of the countries. It's not anti immigrant it is anti -indian sentiment because of our uncivilized behavior, breaching visa conditions and seeking asylum all over the world. It's not western world that needs our talent, in fact India needs the west to export our talent because we can't afford our population. Sadly, government officials are helping the human traffickers to create forged documents and police cases so that they can make a valid excuse. Indians are being hated everywhere because of India.

Comment box is full of Anti Indian viruses ? hello guys mind your language what do you know about Indians ?\n\nWe never feel jealous about someone else every one is happy for themselves in Arab and middle east nations...\n\nWe are not like Pakistanis and other Bangladesh who feel jealous about someone's sucess ?\n\nDo you know? 96% beggars of middle east and Arab nations are from Pakistan and Bangladesh,only these both nations...\nI know you hate palki Sharma but for that reason don't blame Indians unnecessarily...\nThink twice before talking about Indians behaviour and loyality....\nIndian community is the most successful overseas community in world ??

Boycott this anti Indian channel

We’re not anti immigrants. We’re a nation of immigrants. But we are cracking down on liars and criminals who pretend to be students just to disappear, for instance. It’s not “anti immigrant” to be more careful.

As a Canadian, I disagree with we are anti immigration. We need to slow down immigration so we can catch up on building affordable housing for those already here. We need to fix are healthcare system so we can all get decent healthcare. Once that's done, I think we should proceed with immigration.

As an Indian living in India, the immigration policies of Canada are seriously concerning, it’s not attracting the best of the bunch and it’s fostering Anti-National sentiments among communities that are usually very patriotic in India… there is no Khalistan movement in Punjab, they are causing unrest in Canada for their agenda and the Canadian PM is all too happy to support them. So much so that they have successfully strained the international relations between India and Canada.

You end by saying this is your ranking for 2021. How has it changed, as we are now arrived in 2025 ? I think you should take into consideration the very anti-English attitude of the CAQ government, and don't expect things to improve if the Parti Québécois wins the next election.

when a country is no longer attractive to immigrants, it means that country is in economic trouble. But the short-sighted and uninformed anti-immigration commentators don't get it.

I’m still stuck in mom’s basement. If I can’t move to a better place to have a better life, then no one can! Anti-immigration patriots of the world unite !

Diversity \nProgressive \nMulticultural \nAll means anti white.

When I was a child in the 70’s, the racism against Indians and Pakistani people was vicious. As a black person, I had a few occasions to battle anti-Indian racism by defending kids at school. Nothing new. They had the P word. It was so racist and hateful. People were like this before Trudeau was born. I was there. I heard them. Canadians have been racist ever since, and Trudeau’s father stuck up for Indian Canadians.

Canada is a demonic dysfunctional problematic anti-black white supremacist country, including being unable to account for the 30,000 that was deported. Facts.

A good portion of hindu indians are the real scum and to be blamed for anti-indian sentiment

You know what is weird about the America first argument? It pits Americans against immigrants, implying that immigrants are the reason that Americans do not have the support they should have. When really, the party that won off of the anti-immigrant rhetoric is the one stripping all the social programs and support away from working class Americans, and cutting taxes for the richest of the rich.

Great allegory of how he views chaos in his own country and then relies so heavily on experts to help him when he feels lost \n\nWhich appears to be more often with each passing week, due to his health issues and the damage sanctions, along with negative ideological & economic outcomes due to his support of brutal dictatorships such as Russia, Iran, Syria & North Korea. I doubt they are paying their bills on time or at all now & the most ideologically devastating fall was that of Syria. The people feel they have power back & it appears the brutal anti female & any economic freedom brutal dictatorship of Iran is next to fall and we’re all happy \n\nBut it places a weak economy & largely falsely inflated military capacity in a strange position \n\nWe needs to invade Taiwan to show idealogical but especially market strength due to the chip wars (which China is losing) and to fulfil in party alliances with the most radical \n\nLet’s see what comes, for I expect the worst while also hoping for the best

anti immigration is the perfect scapegoat that's why. the real question is why is the CAD on such a decline? that's actually what makes things more expensive

Host Sir Ji, why are you appearing to be putting down all those Wonderful hard ? ? ? ? ? ? working, civilized, cultured, peaceful, respectful, nice ? ? ?, law abiding, prosperous ? ❤️ ?, ambitious, helpful, nation builders, entrepreneurials, industrious and very educated Indian people ? ? ? ? ? ? . Indian people's existence have been assets in all countries in the World including U.S. Yes-India, England, Australia, Germany, Guyana, Russia, Canada, Singapore, Trinidad, Saudi Arabia, U.A.E, Qatar, Italy, Portugal Malaysia, Hong Kong, Mexico, South Africa, Fiji Island, Mauritius, etc for many centuries ! ! ! ! ! . What nonsense are talking about ? ? ? ? ? . Please ?????? stop ?????? it right now ! ! ! ! ! . You truly need to factor in Jealousy, lies, perhaps obvious racism, prejudiced, hate and enviousness against Indian population because all those wicked and evil people are all anti-Indians.\nTHANK YOU SIR Ji ???. May God bless You ???, all those good and blessed Innocent Indian people forever ???.

they have their own agenda and dysfunctional idiology, it is 100% anti canadian, how blind are these fked politicians ??!!

Concerns over India, Pakistan and Turkey and similar. Surprised? I'm an average Canadian and I'm deeply disappointed we're importing Islamic jihadis and others taking over our streets with anti-Semitism and open fighting. What a grief.

His anti immigrant

Weaponising visa? Which country allows entry of anti-natiional activists?

Is it anti-immigration or is it anti-ILLEGAL-immigration? \n\nDon't mess with words here.

there's zero benefits in moving to Canada. it is a country that is set to debt trap you for the rest of your life once you settled. they invent new tax laws every year to cheat you from your hard work earnings, no one can build a life here in Canada, this is also precisely why there is no known technology or industry developed in Canada. So called top brand in Canada, TD, was just sued and under multiple legal litigations such as AML (anti money laundering) and NSF class action lawsuit. TD by itself is only $132 billion CAD market cap vs a comparable JP Morgan Bank (US) $675 billion USD = $979 billion CAD, more than 7x the size of TD. wonder why there are very few US bank operating in Canada? cause they know better! There are no investor who are foolish enough to invest in Canada, all the tax laws are created to soak wealth from those who didn't know better. Even Canadians are leaving Canada. don't even mention the non-existing military, so really, where did the country spent all the tax dollars?

Canada is a law abiding country and no one can fool the system. It offers study visas with a condition of returning back to home after completing the study. But many indian students are cheated by local agents with fake promises of Canadian PR, and now face deportation. It is not the fault of Canada. Already Canadian citizens including its own students suffer a lot from getting a job. Lack of jobs, house, health services increased and at the same time criminal, anti social activities like car theft, sexual abuse of female students, traffic violations, and links with anti social elements linked with international students. Brampton becomes the number one crime area in Toronto. Canadians are very well known people for their multicultural identity but they become irritated by the hostile behaviour of the international students. \nSo Canada must give priority to its own citizens and its law and order. No one can be allowed to take advantage of its liberal system.

New 2025 ‘PR pathways’? Say one thing do another? Not covered by media or opp? Why not pgms incl education funding to help/incentivize Canadian citizens esp those born here to fill those jobs? Govt always talk thru both sides? No like most Cdns I’m not racist or anti immigration (good friends from other countries) we’re just saying enough.

It's happening in the US too. Given the state of affairs in Gaza, I predict that we will see a huge influx of Palestinians seeking asylum over the next decade. The irony being that the US is openly supporting the genocide happening there as we speak. So the US is pro Isreal, and is becoming increasingly anti-immigration, the future is looking bleak and confusing. I'm not anti-immigration btw, I'd just like to make that clear.

Thank you, great video. Excellent overview of the issues, which you understand better than most Canadians because you've lived thru the transition.\nWe need your pragmatic reasoning to be heard by politicians.\nI'm not anti-immigration but rather support targeted immigration. We have to make immigration work for Canada and immigrants alike. We have to increase our GDP thru targeted investments in our society.

Thank you for summarizing these key changes! Many problems are actually the Canadian immigration system not learning from the mistakes of the US system and now it’s suffering the same consequences. If Canada cuts down on those selected immigrations but still takes in refugees, it’s only going to make anti-immigrant sentiment worse. Selected immigrants are allowed into Canada to help alleviate Canadian issues…or at least people who come through Express Entry are less likely to become a burden. On the other hand, refugees, given their unfortunate circumstances, really need to rely on a lot of social services and resources to help them resettle. The US has eliminated pretty much all non-humanitarian immigration that’s why immigrants are so demonized there. Americans only feel the drags of refugees and asylum seekers (even though ethically we need to protect them) and there is no selected immigration to balance that out. Yet this round of Canadian policy change is heading exactly that direction.\n\nIt used to be international students in Canada are not paying a lot more tuition than Canadian students. But Canadian universities saw how much money universities in the US are making so they asked the federal government to change the policy to enable them to charge international students several times the regular tuition (whereas in countries like France, international students actually pay less than citizens). So now Canadian universities rely too much on international students to operate and it becomes an exploitative relationship even before students step foot on the campus. The new PGWP eligibility is awful because students can make contributions in every field. It might (and that's a big if) address the pressing problems, but it won't help Canada grow.\n\nI thought the new language requirement was interesting. Some Canadians who immigrated decades ago when the bar was really low still speak English poorly and now they are saying people can’t come to Canada because their language skills are not sufficient. Another point about language is if you apply through Express Entry now, even if you scored the highest language score, given how competitive the pool is, you still won’t get selected. So it’s a given that you need to be fluent in one of the languages at least to get an invitation. Express Entry also selects only the top people, I saw the head of The Institute for Canadian Citizenship in interviews talking about those top-tier people only expect the best treatment/lifestyle when they come to Canada. That's why many of them leave after seeing these Canadian problems play out. But I believe a good Canadian life is not about living in a high rise in Vancouver and Toronto, driving an expensive car, or buying luxury items...it's about the communities, nature and middle-class comfort. So the system is giving PRs to the wrong kind of people (just like mismatched people when hiring that don't align with company values).\n\nThis brings me to the last frustrating issue. There were so many people who attended “fake” universities and bought “fake” jobs to earn points to get an Express Entry invitation. And it's clear that the government wasn't proactively catching these abuses. They are taking up spots from those who try to earn the points fair and square. If I understand correctly, Canada doesn’t send these people away if they are found out (since some of them were scammed). So they still take up immigration quotas.\n\nI have wanted to move to Canada for a long time. I have visited Canada many times, hiking trails through the coastline and fjords, climbing mountains and glaciers. I lived in Montreal for two months to improve my French and I was told by my homestay family that I was the first student they had who didn’t complain about the cold (I wish the winter never ends so I can skate or xc ski in the parks year-round). I have probably seen more Canada than many Canadians and I love every bit of it. But the opportunity for me to even get a shot to move there is pretty much nonexistent now. If only there was a way for the system to allow people who really care about Canada to get a shot at being part of this beautiful country.\n\nThank you for making these videos.

So many anti-America traitors on CNN. What a disgrace. The Mexican president will soon find out if she f*cks around.
