A one year degree in exotic basket weaving includes a work permit , what part do you think they are actually paying for. It's like the guy selling dope at McDonalds drive though by telling customers to ask for a 13 nugget pack.

Canada has 10 times the number of international students per capita than the United States, a cap will eventually move it down to 3 times per capita. Still insane.

Stop issuing visas and work permits for private career colleges. Reduce one-third of international students in community colleges and provide one year non renewable work permit . Provide a three-year work permit only for those who complete a four-year undergraduate or two-year master's program in universities, as universities attract real talents compared to private or community colleges.

Go to Brampton then you can see how many India students we have there.

The work permits after graduation have been exploited as an alternate way to become permanent residents. Cancel that program or screen applicants based on country of origin. This work permit policy has disproportionately taken advantage of by people (usually) from certain parts of the world that cannot normally or easily apply for permanent residency in Canada. Once 1 of them got it they bring whole family over, many of these PR depend more on the "system" after. The jobs these work permit cases get usually aren't too well paid. Some of them even plead to employer to take them at lower the offered paid.

we need an audit of how many international "students" actually completed their program they arrived in for their visa and where they are today. if you came in to learn a skill and are expected to contribute to the Canadian economy, you'd better have finished the program and be working in that job you were expected to fill. where is the accountability? if you arrived here on a student visa and have not finished the program you signed up for, you and anyone who came with you should be deported.

Regarding the student struggle of grocery, housing, inflation, do you think it’s a problem for students only? Even a common man is going through these struggles. Student visas nowadays is not a student visa it’s just easy way to enter Canada.

The post-graduation work permit is like adding a rubber elastic to the visa !

Maybe our own kids may have a chance to get an education in their own country again, unions in universities are the problem with finances, always wanting more but giving less, as we are seeing with this woke( I mean bowel )movement.

International students = 90% punjabi😊😊

Instead of changing post graduate work permit criteria, they should just change the criteria to become permanent residents through post graduate work permits instead.

so we help refugee , poor immigrants, give them housing, support, free school, free food, while we are struggling. and cap the rich kids that willing spend 3x school fee , high rent.. i think it make perfect sense. 😂

I am an international Student, and I am with CIC for all the new rules they implemented. Universities in Canada are treating International students and their parents as money making machines, while providing crap of an education. The university clinics and management sectors also dismiss and gaslight students for the issues they suffer because of the mental health and extreme stress. Imagine a student coming from a background with no mental health information, but when he learns from his peers and professors about mental health issues, the university management and clinics just gaslight them and guilt trip them. Hence, the cap is a good thing.

Doesn’t mean they cannot work anymore. They can still work during their studies. They can be eligible to be a permanent resident by graduating, they apply for other visa like working holiday visa if their country has an agreement with Canada.

He makes no sense

Blame it on students for all the problems we face , let’s see how things are in a year!!

JUSTIN T need to retire . enough is enough . Liberals need to kick him out .

They are welcome to study here but we DON'T want them to work here.😏

Indian International " students " 🤣😂

Some squeaky wheels only want grease, instead of needing it. If you are afraid it sends a message, why would you then go on to sell that message? Students are what you're talking about, right? It does not call into question the importance of international students. You did that, in this video, Phil. "Be careful what you wish for."

You just want the money, don’t care about anyone else

Get them out! All must go!

Bc the heck colleges and universities here doesnt have dorms? I've noticed this. Other countries like SKorea have dorms for their international students. Post grad work permit, its a double sword. Helps students but also help the economy. Students who graduated and are working after grad, they pay taxes only for them to be shoved away after a few years. If you are truly concerned about their impacts, you should be paying attention to the immigration part. They are not gonna stay if there is no pathway for them. They study, they pay, you use them in a few years, they pay taxes, but then they go. Its the immigration that is the problem. It is the schools accepting so many student wo providing dorms. Once you put cap on the students and not giving post grad work permits, its high possibility that canadian students will succumb to student loans with same interest rates as the US since schools no longer can sustain to give affordable education. Now, do you think Canada's quality education is great enough and Canadian students have enough resources? The country cannot even make big grocery companies stay in this country bc of high cost, low returns. Canadians will just resort to study either to US or Europe bc they have Ivy Schools. And Canada will be left with fewer talents. Unless you want to just be a peaceful quiet country void with massive progress, go ahead. But if you want to have your currency and economy competitive, there's no other choice but to stick with immigrants. You have oil looks like, but to have big supporting income from tourism, unlikely as places here are far from each other. Not tourist friendly. Customer service ok, but tip culture is mad. Canadians need to go figure the economic math without the immigrants. You guys just might as well move back to Europe and maybe finally leave the first nation here in their lands peacefully.

I couldnt imagine why this lobbyist for the university who makes money from international students would be against this weird 😅

This is a 20 year old problem , nothing new. It just scales with the current year.

Pure madness . In a few years they will be shouting about the shortages in skills .

If Canada needs talents landed PR and master’s degree students should be enough. Canadians graduate in college diploma program rarely find jobs because competition to international.

What talents?

Love that b-roll of university students from 20yrs ago 👍🏻

Where's the housing for them going to come from? Where is the health care going to come from? We can't keep taking in people when we do not have the resources for it. They aren't going to move up north when they get here they are going to move to cities like Toronto, London, Vancouver and Edmonton which are already overpopulated. Colleges and Universities make money off of these students so thats why they oppose this but we have to think practically.

Guys Guys ,this is sort of Indirect discrimination???!

These international students take away jobs that are supposed to be for real immigrants who left or sold everything in their home countries to start a new life in Canada. It’s putting a lot of pressure on the job market and the priority for giving jobs should go to the citizens and permanent residents. These international students should just concentrate on their studies because that’s what they’re there for in the first place. After graduation, they should go back to their respective countries and apply legally to come and work or immigrate just like all hardworking immigrants who risked it all to come. Canada already has a lot of skilled immigrants on tap, there’s no need for these novice international new grads. The real pigs here are the universities losing and the government who just wants to line their pockets.

How does a career college certificate, that can be achieved by regular Canadians born here , can qualify someone for PR. Previously you had to attend an accredited university, not a career college. I did not know the rules changed. Sir are you watching the news in these countries? these others countries you speak of , have the same issue Canada have , there’re not competing they are trying to control it lol

Canada is on sale.

I love the leftists, especially the ones wearing those weirdo glasses

This cap will bring the truth out,, students matter or not,, good decision for all

I find this entire discussion so naïve. I have worked in private colleges-and it’s a stretch to even call these private institutions anything but money-making factories that have nothing to do with education-I have also taught in publicly funded colleges. In the end there are more similarities to differences between the two-both are after money. And as for students coming to contribute to the country what a joke. I had students in the public college that I taught in who were interested in one thing-getting the PR card and buying real estate for their parents. To give you an example, I had one student when I asked him what he did on the weekend, he said: “Oh I just bought my 4th house here.” It’s too bad that Canada can’t afford to run it’s post-secondary institutions, and it is too bad that Canadians don’t focus on educating their own young people by making seats open to them in post-secondary institutions instead of selling the seats to wealthy kids from other countries. Also, why are European universities free while Canadian institutions close the doors to all but the wealthy and to foreign students with lots of cash! It is so backward not to educate one’s population! Canada is so backward!

The students that came to Toronto to study they just came for the pr in 2017 there were so many Punjabi students in qc I was like do they really come to qc to learn the languages no way it’s just to get the pr.😅. Then once they have the pr they move to a different province

Impact(s)? Like crash forces? Where are people learning this nonsense? You mean _effects_ or _implications._

Yeh, we need to dampen students' desire to come to Canada. We have too many students coming in - to both strip-mall universities and major ones. The big players are some of the worst offenders.

The geographic area of Canada is so huge, and median monthly wage of full time international workers is 2500 dollars out of which the rent is 2000$ in most Canadian cities. So Canada is becoming a Very Very attractive destination for international students with each passing month, and the high supply rate of new homes and extraordinary vacancy of available housing units 😊

Cap makes a little bit of sense (just a little bit), but removing post graduate work permit is stupid and is gonna hurt Canada. People are just gonna go somewhere else, and Canadian economy will be the one gets hurt. Without that work permit, Canada might not even fill the remaining 65% quota. Also how are you gonna divide the quota? Some provinces have less population but naturally attract more international students and they actually need more international students for local economy, so local population number should not be the sole indicator of how many students these provinces allowed to get.

Came to Canada in 2017 to do my masters. Just being here for a year I was sure that I had arrived in a country that had plateaud ages ago and was now decaying, not one that is growing and changing. If you have been to a country that is young and growing, you feel the energy and know it. If youre in one thats aging and heading into retirement, you can feel and see it all around you. Only that as a newcomer in a place it may take a few months to figure it out. Anyways, I completed my masters, stayed and made back some of that money working after graduation, got my citizenship in 2021 and VAMOOSED! 😅 I may come back...anytime I need a change of environment...Like a boss. 👍 But for now I will enjoy the memories of Canada while enjoying some sweet sunshine. If you have/get dual citizenship....you are in for a very interesting life. I would say to any immigrant...dont go there with a goal of settling or living there. It is unsustainable. Dont get super tied up in their issues and their lifestyles. Dont get trapped by debt. Thats very important as nearly everyone there is in debt. Dont do that. Just do your work or studies, be patient but be on point with your paperwork and correspondence with the govt (CRA, IRCC etc) Then get that dual citizenship and see how the world opens up for ya.... our beautiful round rock 🌎 that wont stop spinning around that fireball 🌞 So much easier to explore the world with that sweet sweet Canadian passport. ❤😊

wtf no let them work

There should be an exemption for all large universities that are supported by provinces

Government should directly give PR. Remove this formality of study visa. Raise fees like 50000$ for Canadian PR after passing some stupid English test😂 Even we dont want to pay fees to two room scam colleges. We not here for studies we need PR only. Take my 50000$ and give me PR card. Me happy, you happy get them middle man fraud colleges out.

Corporate ownership of residential properties, Airbnb, and an insane level of immigration have all led to rising rental and housing costs. Yet none of you talk about the elephant in the room which is Airbnb and corporate investment. You just pass the buck around and blame something else.
