It means a lot to me too. I had 2 refusals last year and I lose hope. 💔 That's why I was so happy when you put up a vlog about this. It's more like a confirmation to me to still fight and push to study again but this time for Masters. Thank you really! When you said "Yes" that it's still worth it, my heart kinda feel relief. Sending love from UAE! ❤ Stay safe there. 🥰

There are not any part time jobs lets be real now

@@j.l.howlett6843 which city are you referring to? I know some students found it easy in some areas but not so much in others.

@@GlobalCitizen523 Vancouver and Toronto in general

@@j.l.howlett6843 oh wow. I thought those areas would have a surplus of part time student jobs. I hear students in Regina finding it difficult

@@GlobalCitizen523 students with certain nationality have it much easier trust me but not all of us is like that and in my class there were number of people who was called for a job outside of those countries. Canada is Fr is a lost cause

UVic does not have any news about losing it’s PGWP eligibility under the program you take isnt PGWP-eligible 😊 So make sure to double check on IRCC’s website or through UVic to confirm that your chosen program is PGWP-eligible 🤗 all the best!

You can find the general academic admission requirements for each university on their website. Hope that helps 😊

Yes, that’s correct! Great insight 👍 Some schools are even ahead of the game by implementing their own cap for students from certain countries.

Yes to both as long as the program you choose fits PGWP-eligibility requirements 😊 and your spouse is also eligible for the OWP for your master’s program ☺️ BCIT, way to go - went there and had a blast 🥳

Hello @theconductas9809, hope u are doing well. Thank you for such insight as I am planning to come as an IS. May I ask you abt your and your partner age range? Thank you in advance.

How long did it take to get PR?

@@LordBagdanoff 14 months

According to Statscan 30% of international students PR within 10 years of receiving their first study permit. Recent changes will make it more selective.

Do you think the 30% is a result of the high total number of international students applying for PR?

@@rrdancel the data Statscan has must go back further than 10 years I don’t know if there was this intentional student explosion back then. My takeaway is that if PR is the ultimate goal the international student pathway may not be the best due to the cost vs likelihood of success.

🫶☺️🫶♥️

Where can I see the jobs list, please 🙏

@@jeungcurly Just Google category based draws, and it will come up all noc job codes and requirements. Or try rinp program from small rural cities.

All fair points made and you’re on point with Canada’s direction on inviting specific people with specific skill sets. That’s why I’m thinking the cap would reduce the students which indirectly translates to less candidates in the pool thereby lowering the CRS score. But we’re all in the wait and see game. Appreciate your input!

@@rrdancel That's why if you wanna immigrate to Canada, don't wait. You never know when this door will be closed. Fortunately I just got the PR this January.

I’ve missed creating videos too and more importantly, miss you guys! 😊

Thank you!!

Hi, I am no longer an international student. I am currently in Canada as a permanent resident. 😊

I’ve decided not to pursue because I wont be able to take my spouse and its non negotiable:( I already paid the school and still dont know if I would get refund :(

Thank you for sharing your input. You are correct in that the 800K international student figure does not include PGWP holders. My argument is that even if we completely remove all international students from Canada, there is still a housing shortage problem. According to the report outlined in my video, there is a shortage of housing supply of 3 to 4 million homes or about 7.5% to 10% of the Canadian population. If we used your extreme example of “cramming 10 students into a 3 bedroom home” and divide it by the total international student population, you would end with 80,000 housing units of 3 bedroom homes occupied by international students. Now, if we remove all international students from Canada and free up the 80,000 for Canadian families, we still have a shortage of 3 to 4 million homes. In short, there is an insignificant impact to the supply of housing and the price of accommodation will continue to remain high. On the flip side, if we removed all the international students, there would be an abundance of housing supply for home stays and on-campus housing. These types of housing are usually meant for short to mid term stays. I doubt Canadian families will be filling this void by living on campus or living with other host families. I think the conversation at the national level would best if we addressed the real issue of building more homes as opposed to pinning the problem on a small segment of the popluaton.

Oops, my bad! I confused the two 😜

Thanks for being here! ♥️

I did 🥺 and i gave three reasons for it 😏

While i dont agree with some points here, I do appreciate you sharing your experiences and input. There will always be challenges when uprooting your life somewhere else and personally, i have shared some frustrations in the process too. It’s good to talk about it so that others who are considering a similar path can be better prepared for what's to come, weigh the pros and cons, set realistic expectations, and develop strategies to cope with the changes. At the end of the day, I wish you nothing but the best! 😊♥️

@@rrdancel thank you! People who went there earlier had the best chance in my opinion also but I wanna say you inspired me a lot don’t take this comment the wrong way

Absolutely Right

@@j.l.howlett6843 Oh no, didn’t take it anyway at all! I actually appreciate your insights and welcome it 🫶🤗 yes, I would agree too that times were less crazy than it is now, so hopefully these changes will streamline things better! 😊

The argument in the video is about what causes high house prices. In simple economics, prices are determined by the intersection of demand and supply. The demand side is made up of people that want housing and this includes Canadians, permanent residents and temporary residents that live in Canada. By percentage, Canadians and PRs, are by far the largest group of people in the market that demand housing. Interatnional students make up under 2% of the total population in Canada that demand housing. Now, let’s look at the 2%. In reality, most international students live in shared accommodation, on campus accommodation or home stays. So, the ratio is not 1 unit of housing taken up by 1 international student. The ratio is more likely to be 1 housing unit is taken up by 2, 3 or 4 international students. So, the 2% international student population, will demand less than 2% of the housing supply. Now, let’s move onto the supply side. There is currently a shortage of housing supply by approximately 3 to 4 million homes. Currently, Canadians are not building new homes fast enough to keep up with demand. One of the causes of this problem is high inflation. During the pandemic, there was a decrease in world GDP growth. Most governments tried to quickly increase GDP by pumping a lot of money into their national economy. The Canadian government did this by spending a lot o money on various government programs. This inevitably increased the Canadian money supply and thereby increased inflation. High rates of inflation lead to extremely high interest rates. High interest rates greatly impacted the housing market. Home owners are paying steep mortgages rates to buy or keep their homes. Home owners offset these high mortgages rates by increasing the rental rates. High interest rates also slows down construction of new homes. Builders take out loans to build new homes. When the cost of the loan increases by 150% or more, then it’s best to delay construction. Besides the interest rates, we have very strict government policies, by-laws and regulations when it comes to building new homes. This is called bureaucracy. It has effectively slowed construction of new homes for decades. If we looked back to the early 80s, 90s or early 2000s, we can see that Canadian home prices were rising a lot quicker than personal income. One reason for this discrepancy between home prices and income is the shortage of supply. We have a shortage of 3 to 4 million homes and an international student population of 800,000. If we completely remove all international students from Canada, we may free up approximately 300,000 housing units. These housing types include single units, on campus dormitories and home stays. I don’t think Canadians will be gobbling up on campus accommodations and home stays. Even if they were, we still have a housing shortage by at least 2.7 million to 3.7 million homes. This shortage will effectively keep the housing prices high for years to come. Let’s look at an extreme example to solve the housing problem. Supply of houses would have to surpass demand in order for prices to start falling. In order for this to happen in a short period of time, we must drastically build more homes or remove more people from Canada and do it quickly (hopefully before election time). With the currently economic climate and bureaucracy, it is not possible to build more homes quickly. It is much easier to remove people. If we remove all international students, we still have a housing shortage. Would the government consider removing 2.7 million to 3.7 million permanent residents and Canadians to create balance in the housing market? I don’t think so. In summary, high housing prices are not caused by international students. It is a much more effective conversation at the national level if the government focused on issues that prevent building of new homes. 😊

Did you study or work there and which part of Canada?

@gdanoff I came here as an international student after watching alot of youtube videos which were promoting Canada. Well, one of them is Rrdancel. I would say as someone who comes from Philippines, this country might be better like how it is for Rachel, but as a Singaporean, this country is not what I wanted. I would advise anyone to look for better countries out there. Canada is accepting all kinds of shit people into the country and you would be surprised that Canadian young children are leaving for US. If Canada was a dream nation, why is there a brain drain in the first place? In my opinion, don't come to Canada. It is easy to immigrate to but because of that, you get alot of shitty people here. Studied in Ottawa, moved to Calgary. Work in Toronto employer.

@gdanoff I studied in Ottawa, working in Calgary for a Toronto Employer. Whatever points that Racheal says about as Canada as worth it, I am able to rebut it with a counterpoint. She tells her perspective in a positive light which I appreciate but that's far from reality. I prefer the truth as compared to positivity and trust me, Canada is not worth it. Just google why immigrants are leaving Canada and you will understand why. It hurts me to leave after investing time and money into this country but I know it will hurt much more in the long run. I still have the time and resources to rectify my mistake. But if your country is at war or unstable for that matter, Canada will offer you a safe place to sleep in comparison. Notice I didn't say home! Good luck peeps and don't fall for youtubers or anyone who tries to paint a good picture of Canada. You need the truth!!

@@sreeraj1980 Maybe you can elaborate more on the negatives cause by saying this I really don’t know what you mean. Also maybe different state will give you a different experience?

Thank you for sharing your perspective. I mean you are comparing Singapore to Canada. Both countries are so so so different in terms of economics, culture, population, land mass …etc. You did mention how strict the immigration policy is in Singapore and how less strict it is in Canada. But, these immigration policies are unique to each country. You mentioned you had a bad experience and you left. Can you please elaborate on your negative experience?

this channel is hyper focused on students, so i’m covering topics relevant to them. But, I would love your input on which PR options you’re referring to, and maybe i can explore that if it first my viewers 😊

I'm sorry this is how you feel about it but thanks for sharing it. hopefully with the recent news, better support systems will be in place for current and incoming international students

Why? i need to know why

Yes! A different government brings with it different policies. If that does happen, I expect a Conservative led government will focus their immigration policies more on labour needs of Canada. I am thinking more PR programs for candidates with job offers in certain industries or favouring certain economic sectors to attract more permanent foreign workers. I thought Arc’teryx was overhyped. But, since owning one, it is my preferred jacket. 😊

HAHAHA that’s just me tryna spice up my poses lol 😝

back it up, I need context :D

@@rrdancel All these institutions are taking advantage of the PR pathway. most people use education institutions as a means to get permanent residence not as a learning experience, the instructors know this too. You'd be hard-pressed to find a single Canadian student in one of these "affordable colleges" that promise a PGWP. You don't get a first-world education, it's mediocre at best, and you don't get to interact with Canadian peers but rather with other immigrants who don't care about learning. If you just want to move to Canada and get a permanent residence, sure, you'll get it... if you have the money. If you want to broaden your knowledge, improve your skillset, meet academic peers that share your same interests, do research in a specific field... Canada is not the place. I'm sorry but it's the truth. the education system is being used almost exclusively for immigration purposes nowadays.

I get your point of why you think the Canadian education system is a scam. Your comment has to do more with the integrity of the education system. In this video, I agreed that the government is doing it correctly by removing some educational institutions that do not meet certain levels of quality education. The government is doing this by removing PGWP eligibility for certain private colleges and universities. The public colleges and universities are typically better choices when it comes to quality education. But, these public schools do have higher academic entrance requirements. So, even if an international student wants to obtain PR, there is still a challenge to be accepted into a good school first. This should help improve the quality of education. 😊

The unemployment rate in Canada has been relatively low sitting at 5.7% which is below the historic average rate of 8%. So it’s not that there are no jobs here, it’s just the type of jobs that you may be looking for. But i’d love to hear what your experience or insight is on finding jobs cos it’s relevant to talk about😊☺️

Unemployment rate is low just because skilled workers are settling for low paying jobs like cashier/barista. But to have a good job that pays above min. Are extremely hard to acquire.

Ahhhhh!! Can you substantiate your statement? I need to know why.

😜😜😜

I know, been gone for a long time! When life calls, you gotta pick up if ya know what i mean 😝😊

I understand. It is well.
