Thanks for your biased reporting. Do you have any idea how many Indians, mostly from Punjab, are illegally coming and staying in Western countries? I see it daily in Canada. This is why Indians visas are mostly rejected. Illegal immigration. Get your facts right

As an indian who has traveled to many countries, I feel embarrassed seeing other indians give us a bad name from lacking basic behavioural manners, Modi should launch a campaign for how to behave, instead of swach bharat and all these nonsense

Palki maybe if you are not a godi adani RSSBJP spokesperson .you might one day do some real journalism. Not every issue has pro nationalist agenda. Go see how these students and Indian tourist behave ,It’s disgusting and appalling . No manners ,they are rude .do not follow , local laws and regulations. Let’s not even mention lack of hygiene. \nThis is why many countries like Australia,UK ,Europe Canada are clamping down on Desi indians..and the Indian immigrants who are born or living in these countries for decades are facing racism .

The process for Visa and the backup documents is pretty transparent and available at the country's or VFS website. I have been travelling to Europe and my visa has not been rejected. But I still do see a lot of people not understanding the process, documentation required. The documentation is usually about proof of stay, proof of travel and proof of financial strength. Please do not talk about the 5th largest economy. We are 143rd in GDP per capita. Among the illegal immigrants into USA India ranks third, to the UK it ranks 9th and is a significant number into the EU. With immigration a hot topic in the west today, this was inevitable.

Does this host watched tv shows such as “nothing to declare” and “danger Tv”? Many people think that because they think that they are cleaver enough to circumvent visa interviews, falsify documents required to impress foreign embassy staff, get visa on false pretenses because they have money, connections in domestic government or someone overseas to curry favor them, then no wonder your visa application would be rejected and fees forfeited or you would be turned down entry to your dream country on arrival and deported back to your home country. People even dare to charter a flight to Maxico with a plan to cross the border and into USA, like a flash mob, without a visa. Well you don’t have entitlement for that, just like you don’t like Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Rohingya crossing your borders by any means.\nHow many Indian agents have befooled fellow Indians who want to go and work in UAE, Behrin, Muscat, Qatar, Oman, Jordan and Saudi Arabia but landed on one of the beaches of India or have their Passport taken away to make them work like a slave in servitude by their fellow Indian contractors? Let us talk about that.\nLet us talk about how many Indian parents and students so foolish to see admission in universities or unaccredited fake colleges in Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Russia and Russian federation countries but no serious intention to study but intention not to return but figure out magic trick to PR and citizenship without really caring to understand how immigration works and what would actually qualify to deserve immigration visa? Sham marriages is one of many tricks that people pursue despite knowing that chances of success are really very remote. Let us talk about that.\n\nLet us talk about fake colleges that “donations” to admit “students” who failed to perform because their parents have money to justify entitlement to buy degrees and fake colleges print it out in return to “donations”?\n\nIt doesn’t end here. You get to these destinations by hook or crook, you eventually get busted, yet you have nerves to be cocky, pretend to be robbed, discriminated, cheated, victimized instead and gather nerve to seek PR, green card, white card as compensation and even a job? I mean how far you would go thinking world is stupid and you can prove it.\n\nSORRY, there are hard working, intelligent and qualified Indians that get visa and there are people who get visa on family migration quota for example but many others, give me a break.

We Indians have made India such a sit hole, that we don't want to return to India once we see any other country ?\nOpen gutters, pothole city roads, open eve teasing, gang rapes, pending court cases, no helping police, high taxes and after this loans of trillions of rupees for generations to pay.?

Was she the one who spoke in one of the debates that “Indian passport has too much value, ppl now suddenly respect and ask us are you from Mondi’s country?” How come they are happy to see Indian passports but reject India visa??? Hypocrisy ki Seema Khatam

Thank you for this report Palki Ji. It's incomprehensible that countries like Cuba, Burkina Faso are above India in the Hinley's Passport Index.. there are certain things that are west led that need to be challenged by us Indians and the govt mainly... i see this also in thie financial markets as well...

Indians need to drop certain behaviors when they leave India and learn how to behave in the west. Maybe then, some countries may reconsider their visa formalities. I’m predicting that SE Asian countries are going to soon remove visa on arrival status for Indians because of their tactless behavior exhibited for all to see.

Well were you not the one who said they see indian passport and give respect and say modi ji ka country ???

Improve trade and cut H4 visas for US as i have no idea on other countries. H4 visa housewives will really depressed in a country like US. because of depression crime rate will be more.? sometimes you wont have any indian friends near by even it has more indian immigrants. Give jobs to indians who are living there for generations. They must have contributed tons of inputs larger foreign trade income etc... Ask their inputs and India should make policies supportive or non supportive to indians. Dont send indians. They will suffer. As a indian we are nice people. help if you see any indians suffering in foreign countries. Please give help line to come back home . lot of movies you see in india shows immigrant suffering. those are all true. dont go unless you are rich and have billions of dollars. Increase jobs/ Salary/ skill training here. also improve immigration policies on other countries where indian immigrants is less. lot of foreign countries have worst weather. In those areas indians can Work from home. india should support WFH.?

PLEASE TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO BEHAVE ABROAD AND NOT EMBARRASS INDIA ABROAD before they exit INDIA.\n\nI HAVE SEE, WE HAVE SEEN PEOPLE GIVING BAD NAME. MAKE PEOPLE BEHAVE OUTSIDE INDIA\n\nTELL THEM ACTION WILL BE TAKEN ON THEMAND THEIR FAMILY, \nIF THEY DO SOMETHING BAD ENOUGH TO ENBAREESS COUNTRY.

Yes it’s time for equal request as you can see this ranking is nothing but strong arming us to keep us down. But if west and Europe and all others country if they want India’s working force then they need to give us visa free access and stop this bullshit raking and give India actual rank free of politics and hate. \n\nWe Indians are not growing to steal anything from anyone but taking our rightful place of being the oldest civilisation who take all with us in growing our self and others Vasudev Kutumbakm!

It's a shame that we talk about 5th biggest economy.... and politicians and actors saying at immigration they ask are you coming from Modi's country.... Bullshit... the moment they see Indian passport they don't want to trust that you are here for tourism.. ... We are treated worst than 3rd class citizens. The government should stop patting it's own back and try to improve its image as well as give guidelines to it's citizens on how to behave in a foreign country?

In all fairness… we can’t complain. It is right of countries to allow anyone or not. Maybe India should do the same. We should infact focus on securing our porous borders where people just trickle through Bangladesh without care. Do something about that Govt of India. Would we as Indians like if our jobs were taken by a Gora in Infosys or TCS. Learn to see through with fairness and truth. Simple.

Indians are possibly amongst the largest group of overseas travellers just trailing behind the Chinese but the visa application process for us is one of the most stringent. . . Go to any tourist destination in the world and you’ll see an Indian restaurant and fellow Indians, but we are not shown the respect or importance we deserve by diplomatic missions of other countries.

its because they are racist... imagine US, UK, etc grants no visa on their former enemies (like Japan) but demands for visa entry for their former colonies? you cant deny that these former imperialists sees former colonized countries as lint and does not contribute to their economy.... they stole billions of dollars in the past and at they could've grant visa free entry to their former colonies as a way of compensation to the damages that they've made in the past but they didnt.. and when war broke up, they'll ask from these former colonized countries for some soldier to be on the frontline for them because they were allies.. until now they still do some exploits to colonized counties in some other way like establishing manufacturing plant or some establishment hiring cheap labor from these countries, and when you want to visit to these counties they will automatically deny you.. On some point, China gives a better option. They will welcome you with open arms (although they will take advantage of you) but at least you can visit their country easily.

Just stop applying for visas for any country. If you do this collectively, unitedly for a year or two, it will bring lots of countries to their senses. Bharat is a tremendous huge power because of its population, specially its most powerful(in the world) middle class. Just go and explore Bharat for a year or so. In the meantime I promise that these foreigners will come to their senses and realize their loss. You will see them advertising and pleading you all to visit their countries. Money talks…everywhere.

If they shutdown the visa fraud industry coming from Punjab, then the rest of the country will have a relief. Genuine students and tourists are at a loss. You should go see the rural Punjab being transplanted into the suburban western cities

Comply or stay at home.... Simple... Always bark at nothing for fame... You should see how some Indian behave at country they visit... Throw rubbish anywhere as they do at home...

Indians are peddled this dream that everything outside is a heaven since early childhood. They see pictures of skyscrapers in Manhattan, London and Frankfurt and think everyone is living like that outside. These people are further brainwashed by immigration agencies and disguised human traffickers to put lakhs or even crores on the line for just going outside. They sell their lands, properties and other assets just to be able to go out pursuing a misleading dream.\n\nThis is a problem especially in states like Punjab, Gujarat, Telangana, Andhra and Kerala, where most of the people still believe that it's better living outside than inside. These are not people who don't have anything in India but rather well-to-do families that have homes and assets and families in the country. \n\nThen comes the added Western bias and negative media image through propaganda. \n\nIndia has much work to do - if the country keeps complaining, nothing will get done.

Palki is not able to see the simple reason why Indians face higher visa restrictions...India has the highest number of visa violators. Indians need to stop acting like victims of sovereign countries' visa regimes. You don't like what they do, don't go there.

Illegal immigration. Majority of indians once they reached the western countries, they dont leave and become illegals. (And yet this reporter badmouth america whenever she can?) I dont see other countries going to india and becoming illegals? Arrogance is another issue.

They should come to Russia, Russia will not reject them.. but India and Nigeria are like brothers, many countries don't want to see them??

So you seem to be blaming the Country denying Indians a visa. Break down the rejections. Indians like any other third world country are known to use these avenues to escape from India. Don't blame the countries for taking time to assess. Blame the Indian society/economics that is forcing people to exit the country. See what can be done to fix that first, so that people don't want to exit your motherland first.

Palki you are not looking at the really core issue instead you are blaming other countries or governments. Don't be biased because of Indians. Look at why they are being rejected. Lot of Indians do not leave even the visa expires and illegal entry. Every country has a right to protect their country and people from outsiders.\n\nMost of the time Palki views are very biased. Please see Fareed Zakaria show once. He always gives unbiased opinion for an issue/problem/circumstances unlike you.

Why is india not asking for visas to enter the country? Especially from developed countries like UK, EU, US. India should atleast ask for tourist tax from foreigners. Many EU countries impose tourist tax from tourists. Today we see many foreigners making youtube videos of Indians to make money. Pay tax for the money earned in India

You should see how Indians abuse visa. Not all. But most do and hence the restrictions. Let's keep nationalism aside for a bit. Law abiding Indians don't, but a lot of the other half want to abuse the visa route and vanish abroad to only defame their own country.

thats because indians once they land in a foreign country donot want to go back, thats reflects a very bad image of indians.. I am a legal immigrant in UK, but I see so many indians who misuse study visa to stay beyond their visa expiry and eventually become illegal immigrants just taking advantage of the system.. this reflects are very bad image.

........... COMPLAINING, THEY ARE LAUGHING ON WHAT THE NEWS ANCHOR SAYING, AND THINKING WHAT A PATHETIC, E.G, 2+2=4. NEWS ANCHOR PRETEND DOESN'T KNOW.\n1. THOSE COUNTRIES, BURKINA FASO, CUBA & KOSOVO, ARE BETTER THAN YOUR COUNTRY, THAT IS WHY, RANKED HIGHER THAN YOU. 2. PLEASE, STOP PRETENCE, YOU ARE IN THE MEDIA AND SEE THOUSAND TIMES, AND REPORTED IN MORE THAN 10K LANGUAGES, THAT INDIANS ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH MIGRATION.

Now all the countries around the world know that Indian come in but never want to leaving. The people of the world are waking up to see the true. Indian Student come for work not to study and visitor visa come in also to work.

When didi was happy to promote Made in India but suddenly when I saw trade import from China to India rose 60 to 120 billion from\n2018 to 2025 and export 29 to 20\nBillions..Then we can see where is rank compare to China\nIt’s just some great Indian mind working in IT is helping to maintain its structure to the mind nor\nThey cannot compete\nSo Lady instead of crying of other countries..we sud try to know flaw and improve it in better way..\nBut Palki didi always crying

Why do the Indians travel to take other people's jobs when they have such needs in their own home country? Non-tech labor jobs in India are needed greatly. Seeing travel videos of India the people and their government should invest in itself with its own people.For a better and stronger India to prosper.

Look at videos of Canada, Australia and Thailand its easy to see why no country wants Indians lol

I think the Canadian government needs to be a little more careful with the type of immigrants that enter the country. I don't see it as a problem to have Chinese, Japanese, Indians and other people immigrating to Canada. But I think it is also necessary to attract more people from Europe to live in the country. Canada is a country with a white majority and, if they are not careful, the country's demographics could change a lot over the years. European ancestry needs to remain alive in the country. Especially British and French. That is Canada's identity.

When you see Indian politicians running and winning, local people are genuinely scared. One reason is that naturalized Indians often vote for someone who looks like them, leading natives to feel they are losing control of their own country.

waw i miss Canada i can see in ur video yonge and dundas life was beautiful back in 2000 i love Canada it still has a special place in my heart i have memories , beautiful friends ,there, i left Canada in 2012 and still dream to come back but i see things changed am so sad bc of that , i lived in Toronto back in 2009 i was single woman never felt any fear or threat i enjoyed my life was working with amazing people and studied at a wonderful college , i miss my cream cheese bagel and coffee from Tim Hortons early morning before going to work, i miss the good time with friends at pickle barrel or baton rouge , i miss shopping at eaton center or yorkdale mall was good time ,i still have hope cz its an amazing and unique country

Not gonna lie he said some true facts , because if they actually took the refugees, israel would start to expand , plus I know not a singular arab country wants to see the Palestinians suffer , but they are unable due to the alliance formed between Israel and the USA.

According to pwc, by 2050, top 10 economies:\nChina, India, US, Indonesia, Brazil, Russia, Mexico, Japan, Germany, UK.\nAs you can see, EU countries struggle even now. A failing country like Canada will absorb into US.\nTop 5 countries in this list have large population, hence, other countries will struggle competing with them.\n\nChinese immigrants in the west are declining and very soon most Indian immigrant too leave EU/Canada for better\nopportunities' in Asia.\nAsian countries dominate this list. So, considering this, start building more relationship with Asian nations;\nthis is your insurance for future.

Deport them all even the ones that have been here for the past ten to twenty years. And have Canadians run the government not people from India. I don't see any Canadians running the government over in India or any other country for that matter.

I came to Canada from India as an international student, worked hard to pay my tuition, and earned permanent residency through the express entry points system. It wasn’t easy—I had to balance studies, work, and adapting to a new country.\n\nI understand concerns about immigration, and yes, some take advantage of the system. Part of the issue lies in the aggressive marketing of the “Canadian dream” by certain colleges and recruiters in India, exploiting vulnerable people and leading to misuse of Canada’s policies.\n\nI also recognize frustrations with those who protest after failing to meet the points or hire only friends instead of deserving candidates, even if they’re from my country. But that doesn’t mean we’re all the same. Just as Hitler and Anne Frank were both Germans, nationality doesn’t define character.\n\nIndia is incredibly diverse, and judging an entire group based on the actions of a few is deeply unfair. Experiencing racism simply because of where I’m from is heartbreaking. I hope we can move past stereotypes and see people for who they truly are.

If you think that's bad, you should see the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. We have had cases were they have committed serious crimes, and fled the country before they could be arrested. The Modi government, has been uncooperative when it came to asking for extradition, with the perpetrator claiming that he will not receive a fair trial because Aussies are racists. I am referring to the case of Paniet Paniet.

In all the news coverage you seem to see over representation from one particular state in India. I wonder why? They go there and not only oversaturate the market, but are campaigning for their own country back home. Also, thanks a lot for ruining international travel for the rest of us. I no longer visit western countries because I don’t want to receive the “intending immigrant” treatment.

Canada is friendly and respectful country.. Come and see what your dishonest, garbidge dirty people are doing here. You fcked up our country.. Get the fuck out from our country.

Students with expired visas should go back. But what is Canadian culture? Is it found in Quebec? Alberta? Or the Reserves? What is it exactly? Do Canadian Immigration documents require applicants to sign they will convert their religion or culture after coming here? If you would change your culture upon entering another country, good for you but you have no right to expect that kind of inauthenticity from other people. If someone changes who they are and their culture upon entering another country then they are not as real as they portray. These are the type of two faced people that can also switch sides to help your enemies if given the chance to. And the truth is no matter how much people 'assimilate' here, people with even an ounce of racism and colonialist ghosts in their head will always first see the color of their skin. I worked at a Polish Grocery store and came across a man who's lived here for 30 years and spoke 10 words of English. All they speak at that store is Polish. I loved working there but I don't see anyone making a video about European immigrants retaining their culture.

I don't care what anyone says, but Indian people, particularly (Punjabs) don't like to mixed with other cultures at all. They don't integrate with the Canadian lifestyle. They don't worked very hard, they are rude, they have no respect for other nationalities, racist as fuck, and the list goes on. I have been living in Canada for 34 years and I have never once felt isolated. Now, I feel like Canada has become India. I'm sorry, Trudeau have turned this Canada into a 3rd world Country. I missed Canadians! I don't have an issue with immigrants at all; as I am an immigrant myself from the Carribean. However, I have always respected Canadian culture and their laws. I'm sorry, India is the number one hated Country on the planet as we speak. England, Australia, & many other countries are not allowing Indian students to enter anymore. The proof is in the pudding! They are just bringing all their bad habits wherever they go. So it's not only Canada that's fed up, there are lots of Countries that cannot stand their attitude and erratic behavior. They have very low standards if you ask me.\n\nI can't wait for the day to see Canadians working the fast food &service industry again. No offense, but I rather be served by Canadians than Indians. I don't have to put up with their rudeness lack of communication skills. We all have have our opinions, but facts and numbers don't lie. Deport! Deport! Deport! I am also fed up with what they have done to this once, beautiful Country! Thank you Mr. Trudeau! The number one hated person in Canada and the worse Prime Minister is the history of Canadian politics! Indeed sad and depressing to say the least!

I am commenting 6 months later you might not see but it is mass immigration that ruins a country but Indians don’t adapt to culture they just want to implement their own culture which is no way good for a country if you are here for a better life just respect the culture and adapt don’t exploit it .

Canadian's are forced out there apartments, then they rent them at a higher price to people from India they get more for rent. We don't see anyone from other countries living on the streets it's Canadians who built this country . Nova Scotia CP party let in 118,000 people in our tiny province , we are getting pushed out of our apartments while the people from India have a spot to live.. They just come here to work ,, Canadian'se don't like to work the lower end jobs. I rather see a Tim's close up , and a fast food resturant close up to ease up our housing.. All of them lie , every party, If you can't get a carpenter who is going to build the houses they talk about.. In NS, they only built 80 places,, that 's it in four years then charge huge amount for rent.. Not one party I would vote for they all lie, even about health care,,

Go home to India You are bright Who wants to go to a country like Canada and all u see is thousands and thousands of Indians

Stop it. You are too full of your self. Canada's do not hate you people, they hate your actions. The Canadian,,, Yes the same Canadian who packaging you guys in the country just to see you doing stuff we are not use to. You do it to your selves and don't even know it.???
