Who sold Canadian dreams to students? Students must do due diligence before get trapped by consultancies

Well if you’re going to a private college you can expect this outcome. Private colleges are only there to make money. Canadians do not study in private colleges - these are designed just to attract international students by business men who are focused on just collecting tuition fees. Also, majority of these private colleges are owned and operated by people of Indian origin because they know there’s a demand in Indian to study abroad. These individuals target Indian students.

I have been in Canada for 10 years, my observations are - - Canada is not easy, either as a beginner or even for an experienced professional. - Changing jobs will take 5 to 10 months, so everyone just hangs on to their jobs like dear life! This severely impedes career aspirations! - Every family needs 2 decent incomes. - Bring money and buy real estate as early as possible, else saving / building wealth will be slow. That said, if you are one of the millions like me, who decided to settle here in-spite of all this, and somehow managed to get ahead, life is good! Also If you are well settled in India, NEVER come here and start fresh, unless you are hounded by NIA of course! 😂

Hello everyone...I've been to Canada, and back in South Africa, a failed immigrant,I'm a finance professional. The country is inviting thousands especially from the subcontinent so they bring and burn all their savings in Canada. Its not about how hard it is or how quickly you can get into Canada. Its about what you will do there. There are simply not enough jobs for skilled educated workers , its ok for meat cutters and other blue collar jobs who have nothing to lose,but not for qualified professionals. It's a harsh, unwelcoming country where Ex professionals from India end up driving taxis. My advice...if you are a professional degreed worker in India, Please do NOT move to Canada unless you have a confirmed job offer or have done your research. Do your math about salary vs. Living expenses. Good luck. Don't jump into a lake if you can't swim...

Foreign students need to understand that Canada and in America you will need to work and do your education at the same time. In America when I attended a university as an engineering student I was working part time cooking in a restaurant. Another student from Hong Kong was working as washing dishes. When you are are a student you have to to do odd jobs unless your parents gave you lots of money.

Few come to Canada for education. Their main purpose is to acquire citizenship.

Using a student visa as a means of obtaining permanent residency is way out of line. That's what almost all Indian students are doing these days. Canada is at a breaking point and this added stress is going to make something have to give. Don't act like you're surprised when Canadians revolt and slam this back door to citizenship in your face.

Honestly they are complaining about the same thing Canadians have been dealing with for years-lack of job opportunities. I'm just curious to know what they actually expected would happen when they came here. Most Canadian born students have to work jobs that they don't enjoy, it's nothing new. These foreign students came here expecting to have better than is available

I was in Canada on working visa as an IT professional. During my long stay there, I noticed that students coming with the hope of studying and then settling down on a jobs are disappointing. As job opportunities are very less, some of the lucky ones may get into odd jobs with low salaries. Most don’t get even those odd jobs. The overall scenario is bleak!

Canada makes 50 billion a year from Canadian students ..took me 15 years to pay off my student loan...paid it almost 3 times over on interest and principal alone. Canada makes 20 billion dollars off of immigrants going to school a year ..that alone is bigger than any industry. Canada takes 70 billion a year off of students in total....not including private lenders .

I am in Canada since last 4 year .... student came here not to study but for getting PR as simple as that . If someone came here for study then they will take admission in University not college.... If you are in tech industry then there are fair enough of chances you can get decent job .... but for rest like Baker course . Or some diploma course life is little challenging. But the good part is once you cross the struggle of 2-3 year .... you can get PR and can start business very easily My wife came here as a student at UNB saint john for 1 year full time MBA .... with having 16 years of IT exp in India... 1year was challenging for us but eventually things get settled once we get the job in our field .... So it's a bit of struggle but it pays off if you are patient

I was in management in one of the Indian mining companies and had masters in management but when I moved to Canada out of frustration due to corrupt practices in India about 25 years ago, I ended up working at the fast food stores on minimum wages. No one would even call me for an interview for any relevant jobs at all, except couple sending consolation letters. Having said this people such myself were also victims of double discrimination including from those who were from India or children/ grandchildren of Indian descents. I had to study fulltime in a reputed institute when I had some money saved yet was not able to secure a job in the field I was due to network or someone known to me. I was neither from Punjab nor from Gujrat so even these community people did not even respond to my tons of resumes at all.

If you go to a private college, then you cannot expect anything better than this. In Canada, people choose to go a public college where one can all the benefits of North American education including large campuses, student services, qualified faculty, dorms, on campus jobs, scholarships etc. Please do your research before you come to Canada. On the name of news, one should not make these blanket statements.

My son is Canadian born and educated and has a degree from the best University in Canada. He found a job after many months of looking and the job he got underpaid him. After few months he got laid off and has been unemployed for 8 months now. The only jobs are minimum wage and to get those there are long lines to get an interview. Just today a retail store job opening had a 2 mile long line and over 3 hours wait to be interviewed. The store was looking for only 5 part time workers and there must have been hundreds in line for this minimum wage part time job. This is the reality of Canada under 8 years of Trudeau and lately his enabler Jagmeet Singh who is holding up Justin trudeau minority government. I wanted to share our viewpoint with your viewers. Hope it helps.

Don't mistake Canada to be same as USA. Canada is not the place to be in if you are looking for a good job with decent salary.

Government of India must release an 'Education Advisory' for students planning to go to Canada.

no one has forced you to come to Canada.

Yet you have the liberty to give anti Canada statements while living in Canada. Try doing the same as a foreigner in India. Heck, try doing that as a citizen in India

little unreal if students feel that the world is automatically going to give them a 100k usd /cad white collar job, just because they did some course in canada. canada will give you an education and a visa - what we make of that is totally on us. and its totally fine to conclude that India has better prospects. at the same time there is absolutely nothing wrong in these societies with doing a blue collar job to supplement their income while in college.

Everything is expensive for everyone. Even Canadians work and go to school at the same time. I'm a single mother that works two jobs and go to school because I want to upgrade in my field, I pay my own rent and bills and groceries, so what is it does international students really require? You have to work and go to school and pay your bills just like any other person living in Canada.

Please stop bashing Canada because it is hard here. The Canada dream has never been a cakewalk! My grandparents immigrated here from Europe 60 years ago. They were 40 years old, with 3 kids and with zero English. My grandfather found a job working on the railways. They rented a small apartment for 10 years until they had enough to buy a house. My grandpa had it hard. We owe everything to him ❤ All 3 of their kids have done well in Canada. All the grandkids have done well in Canada. Before moving to Canada you need to ask yourself the question… how bad do you want it? You can make it work, but it won’t be easy. Your kids and generations to come will thrive here. But it will be tough on you. A lot of ppl don’t find their ideal jobs here. So don’t be disappointed that you can’t do exactly what you want to do at first. It’s never worked that way. But Indian students are already at an advantage because they speak the language. Everything takes time. Nothing is easy. Make good choices with what you study. Look at where there is demand. The biggest advice I have is, stay away from the big cities or anywhere near them. I’m a Canadian and I wouldn’t even dream of living near Toronto or Vancouver. You and I are priced out of that market. Move to cities like Winnipeg or Edmonton. With a little hard work, you can buy a house there and have a good life without huge financial stresses. Good luck!

But being a forgine student in Canada needs at least $60000.00 to $70000.00 a year, but most of these students are working in the factories cash instead of studying... They are just using a student visa to work here..

Very true. Sad but realistic. I am in Canada since last 12 years and things were totally different then and now

why only these 2 kids coming in all the channels ? what made them to apply low grade college ? why did not they apply top grade college ?

People don't go there (Canada) for studies, they go there to live permanently and get Canadian citizenship. You don't have to go to Canada to become a chef. India has all the academies.

Canada needs Carpenters, Electricians, plumbers, Doctors, nurses, Firefighters, Police, Judges ect. There are no places to live because of high demand and no supply, which causes prices go up. When more people need health care and there's nobody to help provide it everyone suffers. I love seeing such great people come here but our Prime Minister Trudeau is out to lunch and didn't plan anything through. He doesn't care about Canadians or international students wellbeing, he just wants money, dept and votes. We need to fix this country so everyone can succeed.

Indians please return back to India 🇮🇳.... 🥺

I have seen a similar situation in UK, I have lived here since 1966, to attend a public school , grown up here too. But couple of decades ago , it was a mess with bogus indian students in UK too.

Canada wasnt like this before. staying here for the last 23 yrs, things changed under this goverment. Mass immigration without any planning, before we used to have 200 k immigrant a yrs, now 1.2 million. There is no solid infrastructure to support. Not a great place for international students and immigrants for now.

When someone runs after a well-decorated carrot, he/she doesn't notice holes in the path.

I am a PR living in Canada since 3 years, and I see quality of life is 100 % better in India , if you have a decent paying job in tier 1 /2 cities in India. U may blame traffic etc in India, but still it is better in India. In Canada , healthcare is so bad , that even if you are in stage 1 cancer they put you in waiting list, emergency waiting period is 8 hours even for fever check ups....and life style is so boring , with cold smiles, artificial wishes etc....Jobs are all mediocre and people keep discussing about housing crisis, pension plans and inflation...this is all about Canada to summarise. All good u may have here will be present in India as well...Dont come to Canada and waste your or parents hard earned money...u will end up frustrated

Are we talking of students or potential immigrants who use study as a ruse?

So, what they encountered was not what was showcased. Houses and jobs were promised to them.... Who promised houses and jobs? Their own agents in India whose job is to enlist whoever they can, whatever the cost. Truth and a realistic assessment of perspective are irrelevant here. Only profit counts.

Why are all these students talking about jobs? Are they coming to study or work. Jab padhai kay liye paise nahi the to India mein raho aur wahi pado

But the fact is that, even after all this coming out. Next year when we look at immigration statistics, we will find out that indians contributed 80% of the total immigrants to Canada. So where are we failing as a country to stop people from moving abroad.

Chacha is like - I paid money, I want the country to give me 5-star accommodations and a job after I graduate. No country on the planet will give a student that. Research your school before taking admission. If you go to a no-name college, your experience will suck

If entire country wants to go to Canada this all is bound to happen

Why don’t this video get shown on TVs in Punjab and other states where young people dream of studying in Canada.

India is the greatest country in the world now with all the greatest things. Great living standards, tons of jobs, greatest education, cleanest air, great clean water flowing through rivers. I wonder why these student come here to start with. There are only over 300,000 here and keep coming no matter how much their parents have to give in brivery to the innocent brokers. And yet they complain that they didn't get the royal treatment they deserve.

India is losing a lot of potential. India should open more universities and use those skilled graduates to grow economically. Adequate jobs should also be created.

As a Canadian, a mother of college and university students, I can say with absolute truth, schools here love foreign students due to the much increased dollar values for tuition etc. To ensure foreign students and the extra money, they give automatic passing grades and even honor roll grades, even if the student doesn't speak a word of English and ignore obvious cheating during exams and assignments throughout the courses. This is completely unfair to other students but also to employers who hire said students and then discover that they really don't have any understanding of the course curriculum even though they now do speak a few words of English here and there. This is why many employers now are reluctant to hire foreign students and the blame falls back onto the schools and of course, the government, who knowingly allow this to happen.

Beyond me to understand why we can’t have these these educational institutes in India and save millions of dollars

Every immigrant has been there done that. The question is after watching this documentary or many other documentaries will people stop comimg to Canada on the contrary it is very much possible that even more people want to come. The simple reason is that most people just want to get out from where they are for a better life

I’m living here in Canada from last 7 years, citizen and well settled butI feel extremely sorry and sad when I see Indian kids struggling here without house, food, no job and I have asked many folks to return and do something basic and have a decent life in India. Not only that many well settled families are returning, thinking carefully to return and our group is one of them. College is just waste of time and it won’t take or lead anywhere, all you’ll do is spend all the money and go back empty handed. Do not make bad decision and never ever underestimate opportunities that are in India, western countries show you fairytale to others but inside story is just opposite. People who have come a long time ago may survive since they have considerable amount of assets but for any new comer it’s almost impossible to survive and every sector is controlled by govt and it won’t change anytime soon or until your hair turns full grey.

India is a great country in many ways - many people who have returned to India after studying / working in foreign countries , has found it out BUT the govt. needs to speed up manufacturing , industrialization and infrastructure building - so that a higher white color economy ( for culinary students , pharma students , hospitality , health care work , construction , marketing ) which goes hand in hand with the levels of industrialization of a place - can absorb these guys . Most students go to Canada to study these subjects ( they also go to NZ and Australia to study them ). A very small group of research/PHD students go -. Those people of Indian origin who work in companies like Google , Amazon , Microsoft , are mostly Intra -company transfers . They rarely go as students if ever , these days. Also these people are mostly in the US or Ireland , where the tech industry is far more developed than places like Australia , Canada , NZ . Lets be realistic . We will never be able to provide every student with the highest level of opportunity - so they have to travel to Europe , US and other places . Nothing wrong in it - Even today Chinese students go everywhere from Europe to US to Canada to Australia to NZ . But as a student , one should know what one is getting into and make smart choices . There were many red flags about Canada in terms of lack of jobs , lack of big industries etc. The ONLY reason some people as so desperate to get to Canada is NOT because of study but the PR . Now the choice is simple - If your target is to study , make yourself industry ready and gain skills for you to hold down a tech job or a marketing / finance / pharma / engineering job - then choose a country with a low budget for studying and don't be afraid to come back to India to look for a "proper job " in your chosen field . If your luck is good then you should be able to bag an intra company transfer to a good role in a so - called advanced country overseas . BUT don't stick around for years and years , trying your hand at pizza delivery or cleaning jobs and then somehow trying to get PR and settle down in that way there . Even if you get your PR after a few years - you will have been stuck in the low end jobs for so long that you will have lost many years of your life - lost your skills , and basically ruined your career after that . That is a huge loss for a student.

"The costs, the climate, no avenues to advance in your chosen career field" that sounds like bad research. Canada is cold, expensive, and industries are different and opportunities are different. Canada is on the scale of 40 million, India 1.4 billion. 35x more people is going to have a completely different situation for career opportunities. And definitely, there are groups and companies taking huge advantage of many who can afford to come here. Straight up fraud is illegal, but they live in the grey "misrepresented the situation". Make sure you know what you're getting into before you move to the other side of the planet. There are many scams out there, and that is by no means a Canada only problem. Most of the phone scams in Canada are calling from India. No place is perfect.

That's true. My question is that why did indian goverment never pay a heed to this grave issue before they had a hiccup with the Canadian goverment ?

If you stay or leave, it's win-win for Canada. In either case, Canada is going to mint money so don't expect Canada would correct herself to improve. Better think of yourselves if you have opportunities elsewhere

Lots of young talents and hard working students can find proper job after few years of struggling. As parents we feel sad when our innocent boys & girls are struggling this transitional period.

This issue is not just East Indian students. It's also Canadian students too.

Earlier until 2018 The country was so good with good opportunities and cost of living was stable but now it’s not. 1. Population became more and crime rate increased because of refugees and homeless 2. We work hard and govt want to pay it for asylums and home less and finally we are surviving on paycheque to paycheque 3. High crime rate. Govt is not worries if a student gets shot Finally I want to say Canada lost its charisma and its not a good place for immigrants anymore

Canada is the worst choice for students these days, Unless you are PhD Candidate when you will come out of University the only job you will find is general labour in warehouse at minimum wage

My daughter is Canadian. She is a full time university student and also works full time to pay for her education. It's not just Indians that have it rough.

Not all are cut out for immigration or to be an international student. Majority immigrate without proper research and based on feedback from someone who has been successful in Canada. We need to understand that “my experience may not be yours”. Marketing is always a lie and it up to the customer to take a decision. - With best wishes to all who dream, Once an international student, once a Federal Skilled worker (immigrants)and a now a Canadian.

As a Canadian citizen. My daughters co-worker Indian student works three jobs making minimum wage. She resides with 3-4 students in one bedroom, paying over $700 a month. It’s sad. Everything is so expensive here:(

With so much investment for studying in Canada, they could have best education within India. If their intentions are to settle down there, then Goodbye.

Indian government should spent more money on universities in India .so Indian students can study in India. Studying at abroad is very hard for our students.

Yep. I can confirm all this from first hand experience.

You students go abroad and later repent. It was one's decision to select a country for higher studies. Suddenly, something happens like in Canada whereby parents get worried. Even in USA the situation is most unfavorable.

It’s time that the reality exposed and students particularly aware of challenges they will have to face here.. now that the economy is very bad, poor housing and medical facilities.. not enough jobs.

Why do they leave our country ? Because they think our country has nothing to offer them and then leave paying double the tution fee of Indian universities...And expect other countries to give you the Royal treatment

Indians go there as it’s less expensive then US and they want to leave India and stay there . As life in India for salaried class is tough .

Students coming to study here do your due deligence, we have top universities in Canada join that if you are seriously looking to study and make a life rather than joining shady pvt colleges just sake of moving abroad and abusing Canadian system.

I am Requesting to Indian Govt Please Made University in India and You have to Save 8Billons Dollars To Invest in Canada Economy. 2) Indian Students also Going to US, UK, Australia, Russia, Newzealand,Etc They Invested Something 50Billons to Their Economy.

The problem is that not one person actually does ANY REAL research before coming to canada. They watch promo videos from immigration companies. How many read news from canada? How many look at cost of living, housing, education, job markets etc.. before they pack up and move to canada? None. Then they show up here complaining there are no homes, they cant find a job and it is expensive. Well duh. Do your damn research before you make the decision to move here. Students too. Who the hell justbmoves to another country for school without securing housing months before? These students literally show up a week before and then are surprised that they cant just have their pick of hundreds of places? I have family that went to school outside of canada. They were looking at accommodation, transportation and affordability before they even enrolled. And when my parents first came to canada, they first learned english and my dad secured a job before they even came here. Its called personal responsibility, which students nor new immigrants seem to have anymore. Now people just show up and then complain and claim racism because they dont immediately get what they want.

The plural of truth, is truth. "Truths" is not a word.

They apply for certain universities. - As soon as they enter, change ur subject and ordinary university shady one though and get pr

You have to start from the bottom.....we all did......no mommy's child will survive here ....but in the long term it does work out

My child is Canadian and he works and attends university with the help and support from us. Some students come and waste their time They buy cars and drive around and showing pictures of themselves. Many take up drugs also. They need to set their priority straight. Many students go to private schools that are not recognized by the government. Blame those advertisers in India

So the girl who went to study health care mgt feels health care assistant's job is just like a nanny's job. Girl the big difference between indian society and the other world is distinguishing others job as inferior where as the developed world treats every individual and their job with dignity.

Good paying professions are nursing ,IT,Pharmacists, Physiotherapy, CPA and Trades like Electrician,Plumber, HVAC. Sales marketing and other so called white collar jobs are low paying

I m in Canada for 17 years. I m from India . It’s not true information given in this video. A Canadian citizen, or permanent resident pays taxes … high taxes according income…. So the tuition fees. The agents in India are not giving the fact of the Canadian life style . Taking any courses is not going to apply for PR. Has never an students does not want to pay rent at all. I had a hard time with some students … and have to involve police to evict them. Jobs are around.

Do you offer alternative perspectives on this issue? The Canadian government has been very favourable toward Indian students/immigrants compared to the rest of the world. Many older sourh Asian immigrants who arrived in Canada in the 1960s/70s/80s worked extremely hard, built up communities, and integrated. So many Indian students immigrate here today without actually doing proper research. Many flood service sector jobs, and then fail to integrate. They stick to each other. I’ve been to Walmarts, Tim Hortons, McDonalds etc across Canada, and every single time I see Indian immigrants who are likely students giving attitude to the customers and speaking in Hindi with their colleagues.

I was also an international student from India 🇮🇳 ❤. Canada gave me the opportunity to work while I was studying, also I could pay my fees without having to borrow from my family in India. I am extremely grateful and blessed. There were ups and down but that’s call life. If it was easy, it would have been boring. I have shared my immigration story in my KZfaq channel. The title is “my PR story”. I am sure anyone who is interested will learn a lot. Cheers 🥂, love from Canada 🇨🇦.

She is honestly saying that she wanted to immigrate

Everything in the video is true. However, Indian students need to keep in mind most of these things are true for education in US, UK and Australia as well. Just as many students return back to India unsucessfully from all of the other countries as well.

If people pay attention.... these people did not go to top universities in Canada or studied things that are very heavily demanded. Most are studying things like management where work experience is more important than a degree. I am watching a bunch of stupid middle class kids who tried to get the easy way out, with less effort, got screwed and are now complaining about it.

Funny how so many people and students who are living in Canada; and so many Canadians as well, agree to everything in the documentary as they have experienced it first hand but so many Indians sitting in India just blatantly counter and defend everything with no regards to the ground reality. For people saying this is lop sided, there’s PLENTY marketing from consultants and colleges out there, the idea was to shine light on the other side of it, and to everyone saying these issues are global, they very well might be but the idea again was to show the reality of the Canadian education model, their housing crisis, the rampant inflation, and how the major chunk of the students going from India face this. :)

It’s not only Indian students who are treated like this. It’s a reality across the board. Sham country!

For every failure there are students 19 ,20 year olds who are given one semester fees and a one way ticket and are making money while studying besides sending money home to pay off loans or help their families. The struggle is the same for educated immigrants.

Did unpaid coop for 4 months as IT intern, after my shift I worked as a dish washer in an Italian restaurant which closed at 11pm, then worked as a janitor in Lablaws till 6 am, then again coop at 9 am 😂😂😂 talk to me about being a zombie😂😂😂

Anyone in the whole world really get counseling from the age group of 20-25. Once they are above 35 . They will again move to Canada. That they never share again.

Canada is experiencing a silent economic decline and only require the Indians too boost the Canadian economy through various means. (the word Indian actually comes from the Latin word Indios, which means servitude). Look it up. You are only servants given the opportunity to create debt yourself and to boost the Canadian economy. Take this as life lesson

Can we get link to watch the documentary referred in this talk show on Canada not worth...I am so touched to listen very few negative things on immigrating or going to study in Canada and Want to watch full documentary.

Dont go to Canada to study. Please increase the facilities in india

There is always a rush to migrate and they think education there will help the migration process..and they are ready to go to far flung places in Canada with extreme weather conditions

Its not all glory u have to work hard on it Everything is hardwork to achieve your dreams Itss your recruiter or agencies that fooled you and ilied to you

Good news! Please bring all your Indian students back home.

You said it MARKETING the dream. Indian students fall for it and make conscious decisions to experience it. Even after all this settles they will line up begging for more and become sour if they don't get the visa or entry. Marketing and easy gumption ending in bitterness and sorrow.pull up your socks and learn.

So sad to hear about these experiences, thank you for compiling this documentary.

I know some students who came, studied and now they are earning 6 figures, it depends what you study and your skill set and the market demand of which skill set

Hopefully Indian would students would pursue higher education in their home country for they won't have to face any of these problems here.

7:54 He was alone without any help and choose wrong places and denied to compromise thats why he came back 8:53 Fees structure what are you talking about?

Housing crisis has been in the news in Canada for decades. If you really want to know what’s happening in Canada, see the news in the internet - do your research, not the promotions or the consultant agencies in India who take advantage of ppl who wants to migrate to Canada.

Well after watching all these documentaries I feel good that I dropped my plan for going to Canada.

Retired rich man's country. India should develop career development for students. World doesn't support young Indian students as much now to earn.

Please run this show in Hindi as well

India dis not invest in oublic education in proportion to increasing education. The government should increase spending by 1% for 2-3 years and finish the capacity problem. If this is done and western currencies deoreciate as they are bound to, there will be huge reduction in students going abroad and orecious capital savings will fuel more investments.

Just look at the Statistics first 50,000 students came from India and now over 700,000 Indian students are studying in Canada. Look at some of the students that are holding high paying jobs in Canada. For example Prem Watsa after graduating from University in Canada he is now CEO and President of Fairfax Financial Corp. Then we have Dr. HIRA SINGH after graduation he is now Senior Professor at York University Sociology department

Stop applying for diploma mills, do your own due diligence. No one but Indian immigration agents are responsible for this crisis. No one goes there for education everyone wants PR. Those who are blindly following others let me tell you it's not easy as it used to be. Housing , Healthcare, job opportunities all are crumbling. According to the news, Indian students alone this year contributed 21 billion dollars to Canadian education system. That's massive and Majority of them are ending up flipping burgers,delivering food and doing factory work. There are also news that several students ending up using food banks made for poor people, causing more uproar and facing massive haterade from local people. Many ending up being homeless. According to CBC they are sending back roughly 4-5 deadbodies to India of students who are committing suicide each month. Word of caution it's not a cheap place. Come here with loads of cash or just find an alternative.
