- The B.C. government has announced it is pausing all new international student applications at new post-secondary institutions for two years to “eliminate exploitive practices and improve the quality of post-secondary education” in the province.
Selina Robinson, B.C.’s Minister for Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills, made the announcement Monday, saying the pause will allow the government to institute higher standards and greater accountability for the province’s educational institutions.

good most of them are scams
I agree
i swear down some of them are super tiny and have terrible education quality
These colleges are just immigration scam. Only universities should be allowed to accept international students. Colleges should be only of local residents. Stop scam. Ban international students to colleges.

@@dayal2293which is no different from the big universities teaching useless nonsense. The problem is the govt abundantly handing out visas
They need to have a major investigation into Surrey colleges.
Very corrupt.
Everywher not just Surrey. Toronto Brampton especially
A larger investigation into the strip mall colleges should be done soon. Education is sold as a commodity with no standards!! Sad to see the government being inert about it.
Immigration farms

Most of these “students” are enrolled in strip mall universities ,whose primary discipline ,is a degree in CANADIAN PR ACQUISITION !!!
That's it but the government new this all along they didn't care now election time is looming
The "school mills" need to be shut down!
Absolutely! Except for my home province of Quebec. We don't have these problems yet!
@@petitben5240Because they have closed these kind of "schools" and have removed their accreditation many years ago and Miller has said it's time for others provinces to do the same!
If the PR doesn't work out PGWP way, student has an option to buy LMIA for $40-50k (Labor Market Impact Assessment, another biggest immigration SCAM, where any local business would advertise for a Supervisor/Manager position with no intention to actually hire from Canada. Later claiming that they could not find person of this qualifications in Canada, this business owner then bring the person from outside of Canada on fake payrolls (buyer pays for his own payslips), until the person can get PR on express basis, as Supervisor/Manager level experience can get person higher points to expedite PR in 1-2 years).
some international students graduating after 4 years but barely speaks English should tell you alot about what's going on
Almost 200k foreign students in BC ... WOW Pretty easy yo see why we are in trouble .
Biggest problem is that international students can bring their spouse.parents and siblings on visitor visa while they are on study permits.many international students bring their spouse over started having kids while they are on work permits or study permits.
Add in the concept of the PGWP. It should only be for special cases, not the norm. I.e., only for graduates from courses the country has demand for.
They have stopped work permits for spouses, only for spouses of international students who are doing Master’s or PhD programs, all other are not eligible anymore
@@albatrose1001 They should stop everyone coming here
Absolutely!! Once that pr hits boom family on the next flight. These internationals dont give a f about school sole purpose is that PR
The biggest problem is the provincial government. The election comes due this year. Make sure you vote.
Shut down all private institutions which is working for profit and not provide an education.
you cant. these are jobs. you will pay for their living?
@@TheFreshAirChannelThey’ll have to find other jobs. These places are fake schools selling a fake education, really just selling immigration visas. It’s unethical and damaging to everyone and should be illegal.
not real canadians problem
@@TheFreshAirChannelIf they have the proper training to teach,they will easily find a job in the public sector,no drama here!!!!
💯
every year im at school i get 1 instructor who partially teaches in a different language. sometimes Mandarin sometimes Hindi and at least 1/2 to 3/4 of a class of international students. it wouldnt be so much of a problem if everyone spoke English. i know for a fact that Quebec wont put up with it so why do we.
Cuz Quebec has that “us, against you” mentality.
They don’t bend the knee as often
Bruh I’ve been in classes in BC of like 25 people, and legit, it’ll be me and like the professor as the only white people there, I guess that’s Trudeaus “diversity” at work lol, although it’s not really that diverse in practice
TruDOPE has put Canada back 30 years!!!
Harper was enjoying all the cash in from China, when it started 30 years ago.
Harper helped with what we're facing now.
It was around the time of forgein buyers and buying up older rental family homes.
Mostly 3 bedroom homes with backyards
rent was between $900 $1000 per month.
Families had to move to different cities to find affordable housing.
Then building monster houses. and renting them out for $3000 monthly.
The rent
@@user61512 The latest boom in housing problems is directly due to the highest rise of immigration into the country. Canada, per capita, has one of if not the highest rate of immigrant acceptance in the world. Stop blaming Harper. Foreign ownership of homes is a problem but it's like 2-4% of homes. That isn't the bulk cause of the problem and you can tell since the foreign ownership cap was lowered and the housing and rent costs went higher than ever before.
Stop defending Trudeau by playing whataboutism. I don't care how someone votes, it's a non-negotiable though to pretend like Trudeau and his admin haven't greatly exacerbated the problem.
@@user61512 dude, we are in Trudeaus 9th year, get off the Harper hate, it’s literally irrelevant after so long of this government, the state of Canada is Trudeau and the Liberals fault right now and you know it, I lived in the country in 2015 and my own personal experience, things were 100% more affordable and quality of life, healthcare system and stress levels were far better when the conservatives were in, Trudeau messed all that up, just accept it and stop being in denial
Finally, put Canadians first.
You mean the indigenous population?
@@bharatmirchi yes
Crazy it took this long but yes, finally they are seeing this scam for what it is. God bless Canada and all the people of Canada 😊
@@bharatmirchiNo! ..... Canadians are Canadians! Anyone naturally born in Canada are Native to this land!
Stop it with your liberal division propaganda!!
@@johnf7365...indigenous people are natives
It seems like media still crying about it😂😂.we should give priority to canadian students over an international students.
It’s irrelevant, due to international pay double tuitions,
Tim Horton’s needs to stop enrolling students 😂
The only reason they come to Canada is for the Dodge Chargers outlet clothing stores lol
They just announced the quarterly results and the profits are due to cheap labour and that's why the corporations are asking to revoke the cap on international students.
I dont get Canada at all. EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD, being an international student means they are here to ONLY study!!! How TF are we allowing people to come here, work, bring spouces, parents etc. It is obsurd! We literally are a joke!
Because it was always meant as an immigration platform.
Good, now send back the ones that are already here.
Those are not schools those are mostly places set up to get international students and to get a work permit or something and apply for PR
Punjabhis walking around Canadian cities without even
Knowing basic English and abusing Canadian culture.
Awe poor students ! Give it a rest … look around at the mess of this country .. people are struggle to keep the roof over their head !!
Sick of this .
Get rid of the diploma mills. Stop letting them bring their families, and stop letting them work. We're being taken advantage of. We want students not tim hortons workers.
29 comments but only 12 show? Never have the censors been the good guys.
Canadians are sick of being silenced while our country is overrun.
.
it is time to kick this pc culture out
Ya with 7-11 workers lol
Ya with 7-11 workers lol
I see all the comments.
They are not here for school
The first thing that needs to be done is removing the automatic permanent residence status for them and their families just because they came here for education. Needs to be judged case by case!
No. Their visa just ends and that's it. No case by case.
Good. We need massive restructuring of our pathetic immigration laws/policies. Canada is the nasty rec room of the world.
Government should maintain their standard of education.. They enrolled to much international students and decrease the level of country.. Everything is messed up now it’s time to stop the international students who have only diplomas atleast they should do bachelor’s in their home country….
I assume BC government has wanted to do this for a long time, but we all know how left BC residents are. Now, the trend changing in federal government gives BC the perfect opportunity to implement this policy
Thank you!! Left Bc for Alberta last year
Get labled anti chinese or Hindi because you want standards for canadians born here.
That's exactly it, it's so scummy that now that they wanna change up
Good ..Fill these seats with our
Canadian Kids!!
Their education needs to be first and foremost over any International Foreign student.
Period .
The waiting list to get into these classes is huge, this will make a huge difference, in helping our children poat graduate faster and get our kids in the Canadian workforce..
Post secondary institutions don’t want to loose their cash cows. Domestic students don’t pay as much as international students.
Facts! This is what I always said. It has always been disgusting to me that Canadian students are getting their rejection letters while non Canadians are in. How pathetic this country is.
@@aavvcc are you kidding me ? There is a school program at Anderson college that Cost canadian students 46000 for two years and 57000 for International . You make it seem like education is very cheap for domestic students .
@aavvcc Domestic student tuition is subsidized by the government. The college/university gets the same amount, whether it's from an international student or a domestic student.
@@jaycommonsense2468
Depends where you are. When I was studying in Calgary the foreign students in the program were paying double what the locals paid.
Way to many international students. Time to cap or shut down the huge amount of international students across all provinces in Canada’s educational institutions.🇨🇦
They're reducing international student intake by 50% in Ontario and 30% everywhere else
don't get fooled by the cap though, the number of international applicants has been already decreasing well before the cap and the fed just doing it for the show, its all about politics
In IT sector many people are coming to Canada from asian countries with work permit, earning more than Canadian citizens from day one later becoming PR and citizens comfortably. Where as many local born Canadian citizens with relevant University Degrees in IT, CS etc are working as security guards. None of the so called Federal and Provincial Canadian politicians aware of this injustice to local born Canadians.
Stop crying and compete if you are worthy.
Massive skill issue tbh
''None of the so called Federal and Provincial Canadian politicians aware of this injustice to local born Canadians.''
Except Quebec's provincial gvt. say what you will, they are not afraid to step up to the plate for their population
You sold your soul to satan and your politicians sold your country too. Turn to Jesus before it is too late. Seek his mercy.
They not making more than Canadians. That's not a good reason for greedy cooperations to bring in foreigners. They pay them less and those foreigners prolly work longer hours than Canadians.
Where i live, notthrrn ontario, we've been having a gradual increase of international students since 2018/2019 (maybe earlier), and I've noticed that they've bought out local business owners, buying houses/property, etc.. Canada, in general, needs to put a stop to foreigners buying up real estate, etc.
When i went back to college, there were a max of six non-international students in a class of approximately 20 students. The campus was predominately international students and still appears to be that way. One of the non- international students was approached by one of the international classmates and asked if she would accept $25K to marry a relative of theirs and have them become a citizen. She laughed and told them, "No, not even for 10 million dollars!" Lol
Capitalism is free market. U are a communist?!
The cow has no idea of 10 mil dollar. She’d sell herself and her mom for that kind of money, get real
Don’t forget Foreign “Temp” workers program. Many businesses exploiting cheap labour from the philipines and after the business goes belly up the Philopinos are still here the word “temp” means nothing. Extra mouths to feed with tax money.
That’s not really the people’s fault though. They are coming here to work and make a living. If you are applying from overseas or just arriving somewhere to work you won’t be acutely aware of all the policies and ESA that would otherwise protect you and allow you to advocate for yourself. Sometimes the conditions are such that just getting accepted out of thousands of applicants is a blessing you don’t want to tempt fate with by shaking things up. The fault is solely on the abusive employers and the government for not providing the structural support for people to work in adequate conditions and have a path to continue working should that job fall through. You really believe it’s an affordable glamorous reality for those having to rely on government assistance?
@@Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh_the original commenter did not blame it on the people what are you even on about
Just to come here they married there siblings.
Disgusting!!!
Talking about it openly.
🤮🤮🤮
Good move for better but too late. Make sure they are not working in cash payment.
Alot of employment agencies need to be investigated
The immigration cap was still raised from 375k to 500k so this won't solve a damn thing and they know that. They need to weather the storm as best they can and even when the Liberals lose the next election, all of these groups will immediately put immense pressure on the Conservatives to reinstate the old amounts, which they most likely will fold to those demands.
Every Western nation is going through this exact same problem of introducing far too many people into their country far too quickly. Canada, per capita, is at the very top of migration numbers.
Now the national students can use the computer lab without plugging their noses.
hahahaha🤣
True
Good. Take care of Canadians housing, hunger and education FIRST!
We need thus in Ontario and GTA
facts
Besides higher English requirements, Canada 🇨🇦 also needs to check for national security risks.
- Many Chinese students don't come to Canada to study,
but to grab Canadian intellectual properties and
to *launder corrupt money by buying up big houses.*
they just pay back home to get good English score, 95% of them can not even pass ELT
@@mushtaqsarwar1953 They are so smart that 95% of them can not even pass the ELT but they can [rab Canadian intellectual properties]
Exactly.
The Indian demand to come
@@hanfucolorful9656That's their best skills: grabing things that don't belong to them.
Stop everyone from coming...
Some sanity at last. Were they all sleeping all these goddamn years? Who's responsible for all this?
not enough. Suspend and Bad all current stip malll universities. Allow their students 4 monhts to get enrolled in a legitimate school or leave the country. And finally, absolutly NO NO NO more NEW international students for at lest 15-20 years.
so all those new buildings all the colleges built ca be taken apart and down. the schools expanded so much its insane. Ontario especially is full of Indian students. all here just to do a 2 year program and get their working permit and then perm residence. its all a scam and not multicultural at all.
Need an overhaul
Accountability in those institutions, seems like a very unstable and corrupted system.
So we're able to talk about this without being called racist now? Well that's progress.
The government should invest in Canadian low/middle class students by offering them free or a very low cost higher education.
Are you dreaming? The 1% are working hard to be make sure mid low income kids STAY that way! Haha
It’s already about 5-10 times cheaper for Canadians than it is for foreign students
@@ryankalsbeek973so what it should be free for us
They already do.
@@ryankalsbeek973
Due to provincial subsidies.
Too many abused the system.
There are people who sell student visas for profits. Some students also knowlingly particiapted in the scheme as a backdoor to Canada.
It is a good move. We have taken so many and it only worsens existing issues such as housing, food bank crisis, cheap labour, overwhelmed healthcare system.. list goes on..Work permits should be given to those who are studying Bachelors degree, masters or PHD.
Also we should stop influx of Ukranian refugees for the same reason.. Canadian citizens have so many issues.. and tax money should be spent on Canadians .. once things are sorted, we can start accepting reasonable amount of migrants. !!
They opened a school called “Coquitlam College” in my neighborhood recently, and now there’s east indians swarming around everywhere you look in the area. It’s horrible!
this should of been shut down years ago.. what a joke this country is..
I can't wait to vote Trudeau, Jagmeet Sing and all the crap out
Canada is a big beautiful country. Yes we need more people here but please stop with the corruption. My family immigrated here fairy, my parents paid lots of money even though we were refugees from Uganda. Everyone can do the same.
Tens thousand foreign students get work permits per the study permits!
While Canadians cannot find a place to live and a job to pay their high cost of living!
What's the purpose of this plan?
why dont they goto Indian Universities ?
Canada: We need to reduce our Carbon Footprint.
Also Canada: We need to keep growing our population.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
We should do this earlier
- Greatly lower amount of international students.
- Limit those they can bring with them.
- Greatly lower amount of accepted migrants.
- Enforce border laws.
- Lower the % cap of foreign ownership of homes allowed.
There, I just provided the most obvious long-term fix to the housing market, which can't be fixed short-term anyways as the damage of increasing demand has been done and supply always takes time to build. It comes at a cost of needing universities to be more responsible with their spending and initiate cuts. Well too bad. Them having a bloated administration is not worth the tradeoff of entire generations of Canadians not being able to afford a home. As for pensions, if you constantly need more people to come in to keep the system afloat, think about how similar it is to a Ponzi scheme and realize you either bleed for decades or you rip off the band-aid quickly.
Anything any other politician is suggesting is because they're either stupid, trying to be far too complex with their solutions, or lying to you.
A Ponzi scheme is exactly what I've been calling it for a long time. Japan, N. and S. Korea and many other far east nations, Russia, etc. also have low fertility rates and even below replacement rates. None of them are talking about taking in immigrants because they know that taking in too many will dilute their culture, their heritage and once lost you can't get that back. It's better to balance the budget and even REFORM the pension system so it's sustainable.
A lot don’t finished their education
Thank you god
They're just way too many diploma meal colleges that really does not offer education to students but rather a way for students to reside in Canada legally.
Canada need to fix its immigration long time ago. Provinces like BC, Ontario have majority immigration influx which they can't absorb. On the other hand, provinces like Saskatchewan and Manitoba keep lose their new immigration to other province like BC and Ontario. Provinces like Sasktchewan and Manitoba need introduce their own residence restricted immigration plan. Once you leave the residence you are allowed in your immigration visa, Your visa or even citizenship will not valid anymore. This is the only way to solve labor shortage in some area and over immigration in some big cities.
Good!
Good job 👍🏻
I love how NDP and Liberals are blaming international students for problems that they created
Oh no! But whos going to continue to drive the housing prices through the roof!!!!???
The education of our youth must be a priority in Canada giving none citizens a Red Carpet treatment and nothing for local citizens especially the homeless is a shame.
It would be a great idea to offer free schooling through an out-of-the-streets program, but first you would need a hard drug recovery system. Also, people are against public post secondary education, but once you research when, who and why the model of student loans was implemented, you realize it is not because it wouldn't work, but because it would work too well for the interests of certain groups of power. Most of those gullible international students pay above 30 to 50K for a pseudo college education in hopes of getting a job to regain what their families already spent. Most of them go into big debt to come here just to be fooled by make-believe institutions and end up in near homelessness wishing to recover at least part of what they invested for a lie that was sold to them. This schools are the problem, they were not regulated enough and now they brought thousands of people from abroad that will be in a perilious economic situation once they graduate.
@@MauAmzArr you're right about the scams being played but you have to understand that people from every country are scammers. But the gamble is doing whatever you can to get to Canada where life is better than gold.
Yes they come here, study, and stay on and on and on. No jogs for our own.
Canadians aren’t having kids so this is inevitable. Dating culture has been destroyed, high rate of divorces because of social media.
Good the whole thing is a scam
There are no international students; they are viewed as cost-effective assets for corporations. Let's address this issue truthfully and refrain from misleading the public.
bingo
Good, every province needs to do this. They are just being used as immigration hubs.
Why are you lettiing in refugees when you have no space ?
They loved them for their money.... Nothing more !! They both explouted and further indentured them !!
Yes, we need more LPNs and daycare workers!!! Enough with the MBA students who end up working for cash in the construction industry.
How about we just suspend all student visas altogether?
The college i attend has an over $100,000,000.00 surplus. They're ceying wilf.
Correct move
I always wondered why Canada doesnt make it more apparent what degrees are needed in the country, if they pay for a portion of canadains tuition it should be for a much needed and high demand degree not for gender studies or arts degree those should be payed in full or greater amount by the student. much like how international students pay for everything. its crazy how all undergrade education is priced the same when in the end it has differnt value to our country. I hate the idea that goverments pays tuition subisidies (our taxes) to the universities for students to get their useless undergrad then work at a near mininum wage job. I value eduacation but education done for "fun" shouldnt be done on our dime
Quite the dilemma you got yourselves into. You sold your souls and Canada's future to take this international student money. Now you have top-heavy overpriced schools that most people can't afford to attend, especially if you cut them off. You won't cut administration etc. Guess who'll pay the difference? Taxpayers?
People care coming on a study visa not to really study anything it’s just a way to get into the COUNTRY later when they get there PRbring their spouse over this is a loop hole.. don’t understand if you are on a study visa after your studies you should go back not bring your spouse over or parents over on a visitor visa or spouse visa it’s just a back door into Canada ……. First way are they giving out or so easily after being in Canada for 6 years they give out pr so people know about this and have no intention to study it’s just a way to get pr.. Toronto , Montreal in 2016 alone had so so many international students from India . Most come from Punjab they just want o work and get pr no intention to study. I know 6 people that came to qc this way they pay the recruitment agency and get in . Wow 😮. I was talking to one of the guys that came this way and he was like he bought a house I was like how did you buy a house he sold his land back home and bought a house. This is what most are doing . Brampton has so many Indian students doing stupid stuff getting into fights they don’t try to learn the laws ……. Most of these so called small colleges are scames
The way to the PR Status and subsequently to the Citizenship has become way too simple
Anything of value is always scarce
Can someone tell me if this 2-year ban applies to public postsecondary schools like UBC, SFU too?
Lets make these moratoriums permanent and encourage many of these to go back
Bravo!! Fly by night schools, goodbye!
its about time they do something about it. there are a lot of institution aren't really teaching. a lot of students doesn't need to show up at their school and doesn't need to do their assessments as well. they just need to pay extra cash and its all good.
What if foreigners are coming to Canada and even going to the US for education, so they bring it back with them. So their home country may "catch up" or prepare for something big coming.
Or they're trying to escape their countries because of horrible treatment. Falling into the "living the big dream" that people strive so hard to achieve. Until you realize it's all a trap ;)
Very Good
Thanks
About time
One job that is going to become much less good in the future is university administrator.
The administrators always do well. It's the students who usually pay the price.
all these over paid administrators need to be handed pink slips and out the door
@@archie_bunker will never happen. Not the way the world works, I'm afraid.
@@TT-fq7pl Correct. These universities care more about their admin staff than their actual professors. It's an ideological capture of the institutions through these positions and they then get to control the professors.
So long as universities have influence and are seen as a big net positive of society, they will continue to capitalize on the bad behaviour and launder their credential farming system for cash.
Good, the best technical trades programs shutdown for international students doing a business degree on how to subvert our economy and export more jobs out of Canada. The students learn to subvert copyright laws and patent laws to make a product cheaper elsewhere, and just because the international students have unlimited money, subvert the housing markets and stay long enough to become a citizen, then do a request to bring the whole family to Canada. A massive loop hole in BC, lol, premier wants for keep unqualified doctors and nurses, what makes him think any of them will stay in BC with crap public health care and cannot pay a good doctor more money
be on your way now, foreigners.
I thought these students came to Canada for the world class education.
hahahahaha. they came for the Tim Hortons jobs
Finally doing something about it .
These kids come over, don't speak a lick of English, yet hand in perfect essays in perfect English...They're using AI apps to do the work for them in seconds. Are these the types of people we want in our health care industry???
Investigate these mills.
rent and house price will NOT go down...
Tuition fees will now go up now for all Canadians. That's not necessarily a bad thing as it raises the bar to get into university. Community Colleges should be cheaper and easier to get into with a lower GPA
> Tuition fees will now go up now for all Canadians.
Which is the only downside to this since education is seen as a nearly non-elastic service. Optimally, the universities would have to substantially cut their budgets, mainly by cutting down on the bloated administrative staff.
Good job BC!
They are all scams, shut them all down
Who will the slumlords rent out to now?
Don't believe the news soooo many binjaby student comes to canada just this month my cousin works in airport he say hundreds indian binjaby comes to canada this January 2024
Toronto Been Have These Problems but nobody cares
"The global reputation of Canada as a top education destination is at stake, and careful consideration is crucial to prevent lasting consequences." This is NOT ONLY PRIVATE BUT ALSO PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES, I can tell!
