I went to an international school in Singapore and I remember a representative from UBC came over to give a presentation to those who were interested in studying in Canada and I remember specifically that they placed a heavy focus on immigration. Compared to talks I heard from other university representatives from UK, US and Australia, the UBC representative made it a large selling point that if you graduate from UBC you have an easy path towards permanent residence and citizenship. Now, considering that people in my school came from well off households and did academically very well, it seemed like the main selling point to study at UBC compared to perhaps an elite school in America or Britain was an easier path towards citizenship, which was likely why most people who attended the UBC lecture if they weren't Canadian were nationals from places like China or India who have weak passports. While everyone I know who went to study in Canada is doing well, this is basically because they all went to top unis and have very well off parents. It's a shame that those who perhaps come from a lower income background and live in poorer countries get preyed on by certain bad actors for the promise of a better life.

Singapore's passport ranking is high. Most Singaporeans in Canada made citizenship an option because of the 100 page passports and also Singapore's non dual citizenship policy making it difficult for the compelling reason for citizenship. Getting a job needs the student not playing around in summer and get into the co-op course to secure their first student employment. Get the work attitudes right with the employer for employability and a good record for the resume. You need to look for courses that need people in it. There is no point in getting to "popular" courses. Get employed and then think about passion later in life. Put money on the table first then other things as options. They are considered risky, money helps mitigate the risk better.

Canadian here. My undergrad (engineering) had mostly Canadians but graduate studies are mainly international students for the university I went to. I do think foreigners get preyed upon by unis, so that is true. However, a lot of the students that come here are from well off families and expect to be handed everything like they are used to. The ones with hustle tend to do better. The economy hasn't been great the last decade or so and many Canadians are also struggling. The cost of living is outrageous now for us too. I have friends I've met that were international students (engineering) and I'd say most are doing alright. I do think the program and uni you study matters for job prospects. Also, I've had to move around to small centers for employment to gain experience. The major cities are more competitive for jobs and typically want more experienced candidates.

Hi! I am an Indian student as well studying at Alexander College, British Columbia. When I saw the schools website and social media all I saw was diversity but it wasn't until I started classes that I came face to face with the reality. 90% of the students are Indian here and diversity is like none. 5% would be Asian, 1% Latin and the rest is Canadian only faculty. I am yet to meet a Canadian student and I have been attending classes for 3 weeks now. That aside I was fed with the fake promises of getting a job easily as well but I have been unemployed for 1 month even after applying for 100+ jobs (mostly bartending as I have certification and qualification). I have also applied for other minimum wage jobs but no luck so far. For housing, I would say I got really lucky to get a place as soon as I came otherwise it is really hard as well. Still the place is 1 hour away from my college.

I see very few Indian students going to Proper Universities in Canada and do Masters or Bachelors. They choose for easy and less expensive PG Diploma - Most of them will end up doing labour jobs or low paying jobs all there rest of life.

I came to Montreal in 2018. Got my PR in 2022 and I work for a big company now with a stable salary. It was a long, hard journey. International students should understand that the first 3-4 years will be unbelievably taxing, and that pressure usually forces you to build a skillset so that you can show how you can be of use to any employer. Many can't handle this pressure and I don't blame them, it gets tough and lonely and the winters are unforgiving(some go back, some perish in vices, and some find alternate professions). If you are someone on the brink, hold on, do what is good for you, and show up for yourself, going back isn't a failure, it's just part of your journey.

Very nice input. But I don't really recommend to go for cheaper schools (without considering the school's reputation). Your school plays a huge role in landing a better job afterward, of course, this is not true for everyone many factors still have to be considered, but employers look at the school you attended. Cheaper does not always mean inferior, but most of the time it's the case. I went for a "better" school with the expense of spending more money on tuition than a normal student would. One year into the program I have received offers already from different companies in the city I live in. Some of the offers are even coming from my instructors. Which surprised me given the fact that I still have a year before I finish my program. Moreover, my instructors are really competent, and they take teaching really seriously. While some of my friends from "cheaper" school are busy filming TikTok, I'm burning the midnight oil doing school works.

Thank you for covering this painful side of studying in Canada. I would like to share my experience since I have been here since 2021. The school where I study is a legislated university where students can get a work permit after graduation. However, there is no diversity as they usually describe. Approx. 75-80 percent of students from India and Bangladesh are from other Asian countries. I have never seen local students. It is the wrong way to misinform international students who come with big dreams. Personally, I expected to meet a more diverse student community. Another issue is that job ads usually require so-called Canadian experience even though you have more than five years of experience in the same field in your home country. I am wondering how it is possible to gain that Canadian experience when they do not provide for us with some opportunity.

I'm a bit worried it won't get any better. Besides having to worry about paying any outstanding tuition, sticker shock is quite a reality for most, if not all, international students. When I came to Vancouver from Mexico in July 2021, I was immensely surprised by just how expensive everything seems to be in Canada; from general services to day-to-day transactions, I found it was pretty hard to save. I was lucky enough to get a good job after graduating from my masters program, but even then, it was hard to keep up with the rising cost of *literally* everything. I ultimately decided to leave Canada for good and, as a Mexican national, benefitted from the TN visa program in the US. I still reminisce how much quality of life I had in Vancouver, though, but no matter how beautiful the city is, it's just not that livable with its gouging cost of living.

We came to Canada last year and it's been a bit hard because we are a family of 4. The cost of living is way more than it was when we budgeted for it, it is unbelievable how fast it increased in less than a year. The job we have barely lets us pay rent and eat but I do have to say there are a lot of oportunities here. We moved from Peru since the social, political and economic situation were bad and it continues to worsen as I write this. We wanted a better life for our kids and Canada gave us the possibility, it has not been easy but considering everything it is much better than the turmoil in South America. The biggest difference is that there are jobs here in Canada and ways to improve if you really want to do so, some are dirty trade jobs but they pay well and that is what I am aiming for so I can make some money and get PR and then citizenship. I do want to stress that it is possible to make money here but you have to learn to save and invest it, rate of return on investment here is much higher than in Perú and if you play your cards right you can retire with dignity. Another option after citizenship is to go to the States too, somewhere woth low taxes and affordable real state. Buying a house in Canada is no longer an option apparently, it is way too expensive for too little.

Many Canadians move to the US for a reason.

🤔🤔 the experience as a international student is very subjective. Many people fail and many success really fast. The important to know if you want to come to Canada as a student is do your homework read and gather all the info to really know what you can face here, plan your budget and will be smooth and easy, and don't trust the agencies. I studied 3 years pay full price and I was working part time, didn't have to share room I lived plenty well even during covid. I graduated and I found a professional job super fast that even I was picking the company because many of them want me.

I think a lot of universities in Canada, Australia and to a lesser degree, the US, depend on the higher tuitions paid by international students and out-of-state students. These higher tuitions allow them to charge their in-state students less. I think that the labor market size has to be factored into the calculation if you are planning on staying in the country where the university is located. Here are the statistics I pulled: TOP 4 destinations (2020 data) for international students and the current population of the host country: (1) USA 1,075,496 students, US population 2023 = 331 million (2) UK 551,495 students, UK population 2023 = 68 million (3) Canada 503,270 students, Canada population 2023 = 39 million (4) Australia 463,643 students, Australia population 2023 = 26 million. Canada has half the number of international students as the US but a little over 1/10th the population of the US, so if we equate employment with the size of the population (not a perfect match, but at least a ballpark idea) with the number of jobs available, then the chances of an international student getting a job in the US are much higher because the population (available jobs) is 10x that of Canada but the number of international students is only 2x that of Canada. I realize there are other factors involved - it may be easier for an international student to get into the university in Australia and Canada than in the US, but if I were an international student looking at going to college in one of these 4 countries, I would have done this research first before picking where I would go to school.

Most Indian students want PR (permanent residency). If USA offers a better deal than Canada, then they won't come to Canada. Unfortunately, this is not the case. For India, there is a 10 yr+ wait for EB green cards (and the queue is getting longer each year) so all the Indian students come to Canada instead for an easier PR path. Also, USA does not allow F-1 visa students to work off-campus unless it is course related (curricular practical training or optional practical training).

I'd argue Canada makes it so US doesn't need to do a better offer. If some guy comes here from India - to use the same example as you - gets his qualifications bridged with courses etc., gets a bunch of work experience, and gets a passport that is slightly better than that of US and pushes his English much closer to that spoken in the US; that eventually lets him transfer to US and away from Canadian weather, taxes, and cost of living. US doesn't have to do anything - it gets the same guy with an upgrade. In return, Canada gets the guy's tuition fees to bridge his qualifications and as an employee for a few years paying taxes and enhanced CPP and helping one of its corporations function so it can continue to have a GDP. The fact that a lot of these guys are going to emigrate a second time is probably why the immigration target is so high. I don't seriously think they will ever change the system.

I'm an electrical engineer graduated from Waterloo university. Unfortunately, a lot of agencies in foreign countries take advantage of students and their families by having them invest in an education system that is not recognized by Canadian government. All accredited colleges and universities are recognized by the ministry of university and colleges in Canada. They all have a registration number that must be recognized and if not, then it is not an accredited university. Often they are just an informal education system that is not recognized by anyone around the world. This scam has been going on not just in Canada but around the world for years. It's up to the students and their families to do their own due diligence before investing in an education system that cost thousands of dollars. There are some very ruthless business individuals who work in these agencies, as well as these educational facilities that are not recognized. My suggestion is for you to do your research before paying a single penny and do not believe everything you hear from the agencies.

I would say that 15 years ago Canada was still a promising country for new immigrants, it wasn't a walk in a park but it wasn't impossible to establish a new life and career. Back then I felt I was more welcomed, i didn't feel being descriminated. Fast forward to 2015-2018, I can already start noticing that the country political landsacpe has been changing, not sure if that was an effect of what's happening in the US. Then, the cost of living skyrocketed (especially rent), health care services is deteriorating, big cities are becoming dirty and homeless population is becoming more evident, people are not as tolerant/welcoming, Then the pandemic happened, everything just went downhill. Housing crisis, mental health crisis, rising crime rate and limited job opportunities. Studies said that for you to afford a $2800 rent in Toronto and still enjoy a good quality of life, you need to have a full-time job that pays $40/hour. I been living here for 15 years, instead of getting higher paid job (while I am grateful to still have a job), I am earning much lower than pre-pandmic. Many companies are implementing pay-cuts in spite of the rising cost of living. I don't know if Canada will ever recover, I think the future in this country for newcomers is bleak.

Having lived in Ontario, Canada for more then 30 years I have some perspective on this subject Majority of Canadian student go to UfT(science), Waterloo(Engineering),Queens(Commerce) and McMasters(Science) , I would not consider Sheridan as University There are 2 types of students aspiring for further studies in America/ Canada Majority of IIT students go to America for Masters Very few IIT students come to Canada for further studies The student coming to Canada apply to colleges, the degrees for these colleges have no value. Even students joining these colleges know that, they only join these colleges since they get entry to Canada Many such students drop out after 6 months, it works both ways for student and colleges. The student get a visa and colleges get revenue. I know of Students parent selling a parcel of land do that their children can go to Canada to follow their Canadian dream.

It's not only about studying but also about working: To immigrate you have to prove that you're not an idiot, just later to be treated as one! After almost 16 years in Canada, life, housing, and basic living necessities getting more and more unaffordable, and health care is a joke (more and more doctors are retiring, and replacing them is a huge political hassle). Jobs are nonexisting for "overqualified" people from Western Europe (since you're working more efficiently than Canadians and you can be a danger since you might let them look bad). The same for politicians and company managers: Incompetency, laziness and a "leader position" is a dangerous combination... 🤔We're looking already for other options to retire somewhere else - we don't want to collect bottles!!! 😔

The saddest thing here is that studies agencies never consider your immigration goals whatsoever. In my case, my agency only cared about me coming to Canada to study but never cared about making a comprehensive analysis of the probabilities to become a permanent resident. They sent me to one of the most overcompetitive cities in Canada and for sure, today, I would be a permanent resident if only I would've chosen another province. So my advice from all my experience which is still making me struggle a lot everyday, is to make a conscious research based on your current situation considering your CRS score and your future goals. Don't just believe that coming to Canada, getting your diploma and getting a qualified TEER 0,1,2 or 3 job, is the only thing that you may need. Focus on labour market, labour shortages, in-demand occupations, and PNPs, and for sure you will have a better spectre on this crucial journey of your lives. For sure you will have a lot of uncertainty, stress, anxiety, but after your get your ITA, all that will be just a bittersweet memory that have proven that your could do it. One last thing, keep in mind that if you are more than 30 years old, you will lose points every year, so don't wait as I did. BTW, I'm still pursuing my dream after 4 years of having landed. Best wishes to everybody.

Thank you for sharing your experience here Mauricio, you're absolutely right about how agents do not care about your long term immigration goals although I did share with him that my personal ambition was to benefit from a PR and use it for my long term goal i.e to enrol myself in a good university to pursue my dream of becoming a psychologist in the long run and I was heard but not guided right in the sense I feel fooled because I was not aware of the fact that international students are treated as cash cows not in just one but almost certainly in most of the colleges/universities here in Canada. I was aware of the fact how bad the private colleges can get and based my research on the same fact and found CBU because it was a publicly funded DLI and here I am and my fellow mates in a situation where even a public university has acted in the same manner, I just am slowly loosing trust in this country as a whole not just as a student but overall as my future in the long run because I am very ambitious student. I am glad you shared your real life experience here and not painting just a beautiful picture and this is only going to help me and other mates decide a better long run future for ourselves and not just focus on short term dollar success. I am back to India for a mental health break and decide where to take my life on from here and already in a debt of 22k dollars that I took for my education. Also, I am not complaining but addressing a big big issue and then be focused on solutions but It is really really good to hear that you are finally pursuing your dream in good time after the struggles you put yourself through, I am so happy for you Mauricio!

Thanks for this video man. Students here are crazy about having education abroad which is fine when it comes to top tier universities like MIT, Harvard, Stanford, HULT, London business school etc. But the problem is students settle for very average colleges which might not be worth it. When we tell them these things they behave as if we are the ones who are naive and we don't understand the world. Basically they they think we are dumb and radical thinkers because we dare to speak against these practices done by western universities. But here people are simply delusional, they are so breainwashed that even if someone says some slightest argument against western world they think of it as a taboo.But hopefully they find this video and maybe they understand what's actually going on.

Most of the international students are coming to Canada not to earn canadian diploma or degree then go back to India or wherever they are from. They are here for PR and that's the goal they have mainly because they don't qualify for other economic immigration streams due to age and lack of experience etc... so they know what they are here for . Moreover, it's not stone age. People can have access to info like unemployment rates, job bank , etc etc to see beforehand to make their choice of destination. So, no point in blaming universities or government in that regard.. when I came in 2010 as a student we were not allowed to work off campus for the first 6 months. At least that has been changed and that is a positive approach from government. In addition, international students must open 10k worth of GIC in a canadian bank prior to getting visa issued. That money then disbursed monthly over a period of 1 year or so to support their cost of living. That's another approach from government to support students.. over all, it's a give and take policy. You are ( majority) coming as student with the end goal of getting PR here. And you should know its not easy as 123... because there are other categories for PR where people are hand picked based on their hard earned education and experience etc... so you are getting kinda easy walk through at an early age so get ready to sacrifice some for the better living later .

Many Canadians don't understand, this country is nothing without the US. Canada does look good on some data, but this country is so dependent, it got so much fancy data because it sacrifices a lot on many other significant disciplines since Canada can just leave them to its allies. This country is like a young naive girl doing a gender studies degree, showing off how happy her life is right now while complaining about how patriarchy destroys others' life. Many states in the US are more like countries than Canada is.

I would say depending on what career you want and if citizenship is important to you there are other options. Few international students consider for example a college diploma in their preferred field. A diploma can be much cheaper than and ensure future acceptance to university. Yet a diploma in many countries have pathways from student to skilled migrant visa, PR and citizenship if you study an in demand occupation. Study load at college is usually lower allowing you to work part time to supplement your income. University can be pursued later with credits from your diploma and a discount if you have become a citizen (in some countries).

Keep in mind that arranged marriage is most common in India.....I know another Indian woman living in the US married an Indian man living in Canada. After a month or two she moved back to the US where she works and does not visit her husband but they are still married and I am sure he will be moving to the US in future and bringing the family.

International students are being milked by Canadian colleges. Also what students are not told is that the Canadian Economy is not generating enough highly skilled jobs and seem to be stagnating. And when we get jobs you have to do double the work load done by usual person but get paid little more than a minimum wage worker. While our white Canadian staff work around doing almost nothing and get paid much more (They are called People managers / Coordinators). And when it comes to recruitment it is an adhoc process were they recruit people they feel like not always the best. Thanks.

He mentions education services being 5.21% of GDP... However, each international student does not pay only the tuition...they also need to pay their lodging, food, transportation, and personal items. A friend of mine who successfully finished software engineering, has excellent skills and jobs with top tech companies, told me that by the time he was done with uni and before he started making money he was already about 100k down and he could not go back no matter how unhappy he was. Immigration is a business for Canada..be it international students or already educated people who come through express entry programs. Now whether it's worth it for someone depends on how bad it is where they are and how wealthy their family is. But if life is good where one is, I would say this is a futile pursuit unless one's dream is to be a nomad yappy.
