Oh well, Indian ApplyBoard recruiters are scamming their own indian people. please students from other countries. What is new? Indians scam and steal from each other in india. Watching this video made at first think that Canada is doing something bad but the THE TRUTH is that it is INDIANS IN CANADA AND AROUND THE WORLD ARE SCAMMING INDIANS IN INDIA. Canada has nothing to do with this.

i always felt this was the case, but oh my god i never thought this scam was so layered and big. I was once applying for my mba colleges for the US and every consultant i called for some insight used to force me to canada and brag about advantages of permanent residence.

Really 2 years and 900K he is laughing and will keep on scamming. The system is helping and encouraging these guys come on reallyyyyyy

Total scam..this is educational racism and fraud and human educational trafficking. .

The Scam started in their country and it looks like the institution that accepted them as student is with the agreement with the recruiter in their home country as well✌️?

Well that’s part of the education, getting scammed. It’s a disgrace but our government and our leaders are so corrupt, you are on your own, what a pity, sorry to call you a wonderful young kids, what a scam

What a scam, but then many in India scam other countries pretending to be the IRS, and stealing many older people's money, face it. Its a crappy planet

The government does everything to discourage Canadians to have children, but plans to increase immigration. 500,000 a year? This is social engineering and importing potential voters. Plain and simple. Many countries have much lower education standards, and they just can't come here and work in the same field as back home. We can't lower our standards. By the way – so much talk about colonialism. And how can we call the immigration practice that snatches the educated while they are needed in their own countries? And where they will be housed? Half mil people every single year? Now to rent an apartment borders with a miracle. So, Trudeau want as to live on the street because he will have to house newcomers. What a scam. And what about schools and daycares? It is sick and I am totally fed up.

Oh Canada what a scam you are.

So Applyboard is basically former students scamming students?

Apply board is the biggest scam. Shame on them.

Thanks for this documentary. Its a message to all indians who think any other country is betyer than its own. And get scammed later

So this is where the indus learn how to scam people in the phone to people in usa!

here comes the scams

Applyboard is also part of this scam and very co-partner try to speak in Canadian accent when he cant????

Not even universities. Total scam.

I feel so bad for that girl and her father. These scam artists should be sent to jail for fraud and one of our more reputable institutions take in some of these students.

Apply Board is just a scam like every other to lure foreign students.

Scamming Punjabi, India. terrible

It's very clear now! COLLEGE IS A SCAM! Don't go to college until you really need to, and until you have a 100% job guarantee for what you are studying.

Canada scam, people of colour always get the worst in the world . PRAYING THE WORLD WAKE UP AND EVERYBODY IN IT BECOME A PERSON OF COLOUR SUDDENLY. You go to sleep ... wake up the next morning , look in the mirror and see you became a colored person overnight. What would you do ?

I knew Canadians have been getting scammed by the education complex for a few years now, massive debts for a job market that no longer exists in adequate size, But doing this to children of poor farmers on the other side of the planet is another level of f*cking evil. If you are making 6 figures in some bullsh*t job like administrator for diversity, inclusivity, equity, it's off the back of people like this.

I'm almost fell for a scam couple of years ago

It is your own people who scam these young people.

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!

I knew it all the time. My son wanted to go to Canada. I steadfastly refused. I told him not to sell his 'jameer' for 'phoren' and that it would be ok with me even he earns Rs 5-10K/month. I am vindicated. Education is a scam worldwide. I am smart enough to know it because I am not 'educated' ? I barely passed Std 12 with 43% yet I am earning well. My advice to all the aspiring students is don't waste your parents' hard earned money on false pursuits.

why Govt giving visa to the students? is PM of Canada is involved in this scam?

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.

When will exploitation and looting of india and Indians stop? Indian government should do a serious investigation on this scam, arrest the scamsters on Indian soil without any delay.

THIS IS A BIG COLLEGE SCAM IN CANADA.

Oh Canada, please stop this scam madness

Its a big business move by canadian official partnership with Indian agents To bring bring as much money through this scam .

Its the same in Bangladesh. Agents that take money, always give these false hopes. Like, that young students easily get residency and you can easily get a side job to pay full tuition fees. I was almost tricked into these scam institutes.

Finally Fifth Estate did this eye opener investigation. The scam is well known on social media discussions since last 12 years, but government eyes are wide shut when everything is happening right under their nose, then the corrupt PM says institutions are strong in Canada! Bulshit and is a big lie.

Well, if u don't get into an actual university, \nUofT, Waterloo, McMaster etc...\nDont go to international private college.. its a scam. Ive seen Canadians (non first gen immigrants) go to these fake schools and not get anything valuable. There's so many fake schools. CANADA HAS FAKE SCHOOLS period. Its not just international students, its also born and raised canadians, struggling to pay the loans after fake useless diplomas.

It is a bizarre situation ..credulous Indians and scams in overseas education system

Andrew Tate said education is a scam. Now I understand what he meant.

Jesus, imagine paying many times more on tuition to come learn post secondary education from some no-name sub-par school in Toronto only to battle with many others for a low wage entry level job. What a scam! It's tough enough for born and raised young Canadians to survive on their own in Toronto. You'd have to pay me at least a quarter million Canadian pesos to make me even think about going back to the GTA from the good life I have now in the US south.

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.

It's sad how many scams there are. This is just another example. I hate to say it but the scam started with recruiting in India. Where most of the scams you hear about start. All the calls we get and the online scams seem to start in India too. If you ever get the chance to visit beautiful India you will get to see scams on the streets from the tourist traps to the food its crazy.

Money making scam but Indian parents doesn't get it

Ponzi Scam welcome to LIBERAL Canada

This is still a half picture. This scam is more deeper than it looks.

My heart goes out to all the international students that have been scammed for their education. I am ashamed of our gouvernement to allow this practice on enrolment number$.

School Is a scam nobody told them that. \nIts better you use that money to emigrate to canada legally, then when you come work, then get schooling if you want.

Maybe Indians wouldn't need to resort to scams if education was a little cheaper.

Thanks, there is big scam in ielts exam as well. Again no one takes responsibility and hard working students have to suffer

Thank you, Fifth Estate for sharing this story to the world. Sorry for all the international students and families getting trap into this scams. Liberal government should take responsibilities allowing this scams to happen.

It's a scam, the tuition, the rent, the job prospects.\n\nI am of Scottish heritage, minimum 3rd gen Canadian, and I personally think the Sikhs are exactly what Canada needs.
