2 years, 2 months ago @neerajnainwal2352 It’s too late now. Shady colleges are running it like a business and causing most of the problems. The USA attracts talented immigrants to make a Silicon Valley, while Canada is busy attracting and providing visas to mostly non-merit people. Soon, there will be more labourers than entrepreneurs. 1 eP02h50KIOA
2 years, 2 months ago @DeepSeas.. Just know, these foreign students aren’t moving in to create jobs. They’re competing for very valuable jobs with YOU. You can compete with your fellow citizens, but you cannot compete with the entire world. 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @cz2301 It should be entirely on the universities to provide housing to incoming international students, such as school dorms. But ofc, money speaks louder. 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @uninvincibleete I'm an immigrant and my immigrant friends and I were talking about exactly this just the other day. I'd like to add some context on why so few international students stay: they can't. Schools prey on this very fact. In international recruiting, these schools use the promise of thriving local industries and trot out graduates working locally as major draws to these expensive programs. Then once students are in Canada, many of these schools couldn't care less: they offer little or sometimes no housing support, no immigration advice (or in my case and many of my friends' cases: they give straight-up false immigration advice that can screw you over or even get you in trouble). There absolutely needs to be regulation and accountability for these predatory schools; I think a good starting point would be capping the number of visas they can apply for based on the number of housing units available (either on-campus or via local development subsidy and homestays). Tons of students come to Canada completely unprepared due to false promises made by these schools, and then get spit out into an egregiously inefficient and broken work visa system.\nMy immigrant friends and I are all highly skilled in our specific field. There are only a handful of people in the world (let alone in Canada) who can do what I do at the level I do it, so I would be incredibly difficult to replace if I left Canada. Despite that, and despite being Canadian-educated (Canadian resources invested in me that you'd want to keep in Canada), remaining in Canada has been a massive struggle for me and my friends. We individually spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars every year to apply for permits that have to be renewed annually, but take the government 6+ months to process. Because the government is so backed up, we have to apply for *extra* permits to bridge that gap (more money, and more work added to IRCC's already-long line of applications). I'm in limbo for the majority of the year where I can't switch employers, can't leave the country, etc. It's horrible. \nBut I have it better than most. Of the international students in my year, only I and one other student are still in Canada because the transition to work permits is so needlessly long and difficult. Even a graduate who does manage to get a work permit might have to sit unemployed for 6 months or more before that permit is active. How is a student supposed to survive without work for that long? In order for employers to even apply to sponsor a graduate, they often have to do a lengthy labor market impact assessment, and so these graduates are stuck in a holding pattern, and they're the lucky ones. Immigration is absolutely vital to Canada and I hate how quickly these stories turn to xenophobic rhetoric, but we have to make space in the conversation to take a look at how schools are exploiting students and policy loopholes, and why they're doing it, and address those problems. The current system isn't fair to anyone. 39 eP02h50KIOA
2 years, 2 months ago @typhon1861 As a former international student (now citizen) I find it crazy that these diploma mills exist, I never understood how intl students can be so poor when I had to pay around $150k for my high school + university education. \n\nI'm shocked that the doors are so open that literally anybody can come in, that's not how it's supposed to work, going abroad to study is a privilege, Canada SHOULD be more selective about who comes through. \n\nAnd don't come at me about pulling the ladder up from behind me bullshit, I don't have a problem with intl students that go through the proper channels, but an intl student shouldn't have to work to survive, I worked because I needed experience on my resume ?. Yes, it's a privilege, AS IT SHOULD BE. 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @rselvaraju3045 Canada is issuing too many visitors' visas.. People with tourist visas land here and do not want to leave. They want to get jobs without proper papers. I do not know how Canadian missions abroad are vetting tourist visa applications. 0 eP02h50KIOA
2 years, 2 months ago @MoeBhuya-kr3pl Canada should put visa cap including immigration per country....follow the American policy. Its simply too many Indians that is changing the demographic balance by one ethnic group called Indian. And International student should not have full time work authorization, its directly hitting the location population employment opportunities. 0 eP02h50KIOA
2 years, 2 months ago @braudhadoch3432 we can't even afford a bachelor, our own kids are forced out of our own universities. Housing and our Hospitals are overflowing. 68 eP02h50KIOA
2 years, 2 months ago @joebloggs3907 Well you know it's only fair, The British did conquer their lands and now they are conquering British lands. Canada falls under the British crown. Pretty soon I think Canada will be the new new India (since the new India is the UK) and there is nothing they can do about it. 1 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @brandonrobb6678 Im a skilled construction worker who wants to build my own home but permits alone here in ontario are 250 thousand just to start. This is why houses are not being built and existing houses are worth more. The problem is the fees and permits. Terrible regulation of the housing building sector is what caused the supply of houses to be insufficient for any population let alone big groups of immigrants. ALSO HOW THE F. CAN INDIANS FROM A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY AFFORD 50 -60 THOUSAND DOLLARS / YEAR???!?!? 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @bigbarry8343 the tuition motive is ridiculous. you are telling me, that the universities can find 600K students annually willing to pay $65K in tuition fees, in a country with professional salary of $6K a year and the price of 2 bed flat in major it center just $10K? one does not need to be a graduate of the toronto university to know that the numbers do not add up. 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @xYoungDeezYx It's hilarious because universities are the biggest scam going and were made completely obsolete by technology about 10 years ago - in 2024, there's no reason at all (other than greed) why every student in the entire world couldn't log on to the same online classroom at Harvard (or pick your school). To take this point further, with a moderate amount of discipline (which, I'll concede not everyone has) you could learn almost anything you want to, for free, online. 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @MrEmilioVargas This guy conveniently ignores the massive immigration increase Trudeau is doing which puts pressure on housing and the fact that we aren't building enough houses and Trudeau is simply giving out checks rather than ensuring housing is being built. They always find a way to make Liberals and Trudeau look good on CBC conveniently 0 eP02h50KIOA

2 years, 2 months ago @EP_1990 The whole system is seems questionable to me. The birth rate in China is already declining and India too has declining birth rates in urban areas.
