Yes absolutely, and there is a great ton of demand for certain occupations, trades and skill sets. so these changes in my view will only apply to those that are proving to be no value or contributing in any way to the economy.
Thank you! This video is the most simple yet comprehensive I've seen regarding the IRCC changes for internal students. This surely answers some of my questions regarding student permit and SOWP. Waiting for your next updates post Nov 1 announcement so me and my wife will have informed choices.
What canada did in 2021 and 2022 was to bring workers who paid for the "priviledge" of studying and work. Canada already has a rotten bone for healthcare but did and actually doesnt allow those trained broad to cover that gap. Canada' housing bubble inflated when people decided to sell their houses for "retirement" money, to profit from the price increase. most rental places don't even fix their rotten pipes but still "update" their rent price to the highest. Profit, profit, profit. So, since student aka trained people that are no longer usable and voiceless they can dispose of them. Students are educated, trained, experienced people, and yes, sometimes have more knowledge than canadians because are coming from diverse markets, exposed to different cultures, language and so. Seems canadians dont realize the sacrifice, monetary, mental and emotional it is to be abroad, away from your country to in the end receive more and more "go home" and even racism. Truly the worst time to show their ugly side.
Please make a video on what the impacts will be on those who are already studying in Canada and what are all effect on graduate certificate in specific for pgwp?
The problem is not having student to attend classes and finished they study, the problem is they want to stay in the country and demanding permanent residence ,and displace the Canadians from getting a job, and housing, In Australia you cannot anymore change the student visa to permanent residence , everybody must go home and apply from they home country
Are you sure about your Australia comment? After studies, international students can get temporary graduate visa from 2 to 4 years. During that time they can apply for Permanent residence visa. I live in Australia as well.
wrong information. They can apply for PR once they're invited regardless whether you are a student or in work permit. But stricter measures are implemented compare to Canada for sure.

Oh That seems fair.

Hi! I am a master’s student at SFU and to my understanding what they meant with the PGWP about the field of study only applies to colleges, if you are doing your masters or phd in a university the only change that applies is the language proficiency.
They haven't until now made any changes to the students in master's but this time the spousal work permit thing even applied to masters. The trend is seriously going against international students.
That’s true, but I think this government should focus more on cutting interest rates now that inflation is down to 2%. I finished my undergrad (as an international student in CS), and practically no new grad jobs in tech. PGWP or any work permits limitations are primarily for PR seekers from Diploma mills, but surely these changes won’t mean sh*t if there are no jobs and everyone starts attacking international students again (smh)
Most of these students are limited to working part time at 24 hours per week. Most of them earn minimum wage ranging from $14 to $19 per hour. After taxes and living expense, I think these students are in the net negative. I think most of them are still being financially supported by their parents, relatives, loans ..etc.
@@TienTran-oh8dn I think I should explain it bit more broadly. Even though the study permit is for 2 years, most students were getting 3 year PGWP. A total of 5 years. During the PGWP years they can work unlimited hours plus many were getting more than minimum wage you have mentioned. How do you think the students came from Philippines, India and Africa paying of their bank loans in their native countries? Maybe winning a lottery? No they send money from Canada to respective home countries. So when the foreign students contribute X number of dollars to Canada, there is a bigger drainage from Canada to the other side. Why all the foreign students are upset now? The prospect of losing 3 year PGWP. Their bank loans are still active whether they get PGWP or not.
@@lakeofbays1622 Lets look at some rough math numbers. Lets first look at this from the revenue side, then from the cost side and then whatever money remains can be sent back home. For revenue, lets start the calculations at the PGWP stage. The medium income in Canada for 2024 is approximately $44,000 per year. We can take this number and apply that and say international students earn on average $44,000 per year. So, a 3 year PGWP would equal to $132,000 in total personal income. Now, lets look at the cost side of things. Tuition on average costs $20,000 per year ($40,000 for a 2 year program). Living cost for a single person cost on average $25,000 per year ($125,000 total for 2 year of studies and 3 year PGWP). Living cost includes rent, food, utilities and miscellaneous cost. Lets just take the personal income tax rate of 35% ($15,400 per year or $46,200 for 3 years PGWP). Total cost is $180,400. In conclusion, the international student is making a net negative of $48,400. So, it is more likely that the student is unable to send any money back home.
The International Student Program was never meant to be an immigration pathway. This was even stated by minister Marc Miller; it is not my opinion. Every study permit also include a legal agreement saying you must return home after studies. So if you "studied" here with the actual intent to immigrate, then you were lying to CBSA. I don't understand the sympathy movement towards intl students. If you are upset because you can no longer get PR, then you are admitting you were trying to abuse this "student pathway" loophole. If you got caught in the middle of the recent changes, then tough luck, but the loophole abuse has to end at some point. Again, it is not intended to be an immigration method. If you want to blame someone, blame all those youtubers/tiktokers who made content about "Become Canadian just by being a student!", when in reality they were just abusing a loophole this whole time. Canadians and the Canadian government don't owe temporary residents anything.
I want to address to your statement, "if you "studied" here with actual intent to immigrate, then you were lying to CBSA." Your given statement is not correct in Canadian immigration policy or law. Temporary residence, such as international students, are permitted to have dual intent. Meaning, they can have an intention to stay in Canada temporarily and eventually have an intention for permanent residence. You can find this law at section 22(2) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Can you please clarify what you mean by studying in Canada is a loophole to getting permanent residency?
Canadian immigration law explicitly allows for dual intent, but it requires applicants to demonstrate that they will comply with the conditions of their temporary stay (i.e., as a student) if their application for permanent residence is unsuccessful.
"canadians and the canadian goverment don't owe temporary residents anything" yeah right, except for the fact that a lot of them go on to participate in their economy, not just in the form of labour, but also in the tuition, rent, and other costs accrued during their studies. one out of four health sector workers in canada is an immigrant, and that number is even higher if you look at individual specialisations like dentists. people like you think "the canadian government doesn't owe you anything" when in fact the very programs exist because your government wants to prop up the economy. "it's not a right, it's a privilege" it's neither. it's not a privilege to pay an exorbitant amount of money to study, to abide by your laws and still be subjected to the occasional racist remark. for some, that permission to study or the permission to work is a matter that's only a few steps removed from life-or-death, something most of you will never know or will ever have to go through.
As a prospective student.. fortunately these changes don't discourage me but as you said, it does make me confused as to the correct ways to move forward with the process.. I am hoping that I will have more definite information to work with after November 1st
It's about time the government started giving Canada back to ACTUAL Canadians. International students and temporary foreign workers have been heavily favoured by the Trudeau government for far too long. Canadian citizens and permanent residents should ALWAYS get first dibs on jobs and housing in Canada.
As an international student, I 100% agree to this, if I ever in future become a PR or Citizen I would want my government to favor me and priortize me over Temporary workers and International students.
@@katherinecanita6962 Don't be a wiseass. You know exactly what I meant when I said ACTUAL Canadians. I even stated in that last sentence that the government should ALWAYS prioritize Canadian citizens and permanent residents on the topics of jobs and housing.
These comments are aggressive. I created an IRCC profile for express entry but my ranking points is pretty much 0 🤣 so y'all don't have to worry about me. IF I get an invite to apply for PR it will be a miracle!!! I thought about trying to do my masters there, then come back to the USA and see if the masters degree gives me more points but I just don't have that kind of money to burn.
For those who commented out in this channel, I advice you to think first! For the mere fact that Canada allows foreign students means, Canada Profit from it! True. Problem is , That's all they see from foreign students, yet most of these foreign students bring bigger money once they contribute to Canada. Learn from other countries mistakes, See USA, they allowed this and but got greedy and now some of there local workers are too entitled. Let this be a lesson to Canada, Foreign students/workers are not the problem, its always the greedy people behind it who just see money. If you think this is not the case then why Canada offer it? Perhaps, locals are entitled now just because ? or maybe locals are being left behind AKA USA mentality. My country does the same, yet smart enough to learn from these students/workers and adapt to grow not to limit growth. Yeah for those who has something against Foreign Students/Workers , and just sitting down doing nothing, think twice, how hard your life would be if these money stream how shady they may be disappear ? who do you think the government will get the money from ahem your TAX? your salary? your pay? can you swallow that ?
5:04 ngl to you most of my Korean friends that went to english school with me don't speak almost any english, so I believed that this is really important

@@fraserpaulina I know there are these turban heads that pretend to study and then unfairly get PRs, but dawg, ain't no way you're tryna embroil university undergrads with people who have 1 year certifications on niche topics that no one cares about
Hey Rachel , watching ur vids from the day you went to Canada ! Just wanna know if I do a 1 year or 2 year post graduate diploma , will I get a pgwp for 3 years ? I’m following the bios was related courses
These were necessary changes. Canada cannot bring in 1 million + people into the country when the supply chains and the workforce have the ability to build 200k homes every year. Why bring in a lot of students only to have to tell them to go back? Those who do well should be able to become permanent residents eventually. For that to be possible, the number of students coming in has to be manageable.
Hey, quick question? I am in canada on sowp my spouse is on work permit and graduating in Dec-24. Both the permits are expiring in April-25. Will the sowp restrictions apply to my case as i will need extension to sowp, or i will be fine ? Thoughts and comments please
I now know my one source of information .... you do this very well and I like your take which is very balanced in my opinion. I suspect a lot of this is driven by politics and also excessive immigration previously.
we filed an SOWP application by July 22..we opted for a one year master program in Crandall university..as they didn't mentioned any time frame for this limitation will this impact our application or no need to worry??we worried much after this announcement.. kindly advise
I'm from Mexico, I was looking to study my masters for engineering over there and I guess my only concern is how are PNP programs going to be affected overall. Other than that I don't think anything other than the cap would affect me
Until now they have left the master's students alone, any trade, education or skill set needed in the economy or that has high chance of contributing to the economy are likely to be left alone and master's students do prove to be of value so yea they're not gonna touch you guys.
i know someone whose international student studying business admin (Management) He is worried because his course is not in labour shortgage in Alberta, he is hoping that policy will change as he has 2 years ( it's his first semester this fall) but many are advising him to change program or even uwi na lang ng pinas thoughts?
Generally speaking, business administration is quite a popular program. Because of this popularity, there will be many business admin graduates. So just imagine the large number of business admin students looking for the jobs after graduation. With that said, I don't imagine the government adding business admin to the list of long-term occupation shortage. Given changing political environment on immigration policies, its best to be flexible and adapt to change.
Hi !! I am one of your channel subscriber. I have been enrolled in 1 years masters program in organizational Management at Crandall University for January 2025 intake and have got study permit and visa as well hoping to be landed in Moncton on December 18, 2024. But I am now really got confused whether the new announcement by ircc regarding spousal work permit will affect me. Also whether my child will be eligible to accompany me later on and be able to get free study in Canada. I am really frustrated on these frequent changes coming for international graduate students in Canada. Is the purpose to discourage students to come Canada? Seek your kind suggestions and comments on my situation whether they restricted spousal open work permit or both spousal work permit as well as kids free study too for those are in 1 year Masters. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much in advance.
Just 1 yr study? Then Yes. No more OWP for your spouse. But you can still take your kid though. Please wait and see before you sell everything you own. IRCC is not done reforming the policies yet.
@@ViserysThePeaceful I thank you so much for your kind, prompt and very thoughtful suggestions regarding my situation. Yes my enrolled study program is 1 years Master in organizational Management at Crandall university, Moncton, New Brunswick. As you said still though the spouse will not be entitled to get owp but I can still bring my kid. Does it mean up to year 18 he will be entitled to get a free education up to 18 year facility that was like before? Your kind opinion and actual fact is solicited. Sincere regards,
Its quite early to tell what Canada's political landscape will look like come November 1, 2024 or even early next year. In your position, its best to wait a bit longer to have some clarity on where Canada is going with the international student program.
International Student brings 30 Million and they take 50 Billions of health care funds from the Goverment and Take away Canadians job in the Long run. Lucky are the 1st ones who came early. How about that short term vision from Immigration consultants.
Do you know you are an illiterate, don’t you? The university where I study, international students pay approximately $300 per semester for the health insurance, but it doesn’t cover everything. If they need a dental care, they have to pay from their own pocket. If they need a surgery, they have to pay from their own fund. One of my friend needed a surgery so he flew back to his country, got his surgery done and came back, and he saved around $1000 than the cost to that would have been in Canada. I’m thinking to visit his country and get my next treatment done because it costs 1/4 of the cost what would be in Canada, also way less time. Learn something about the world, retard.
Can you please clarify this statement, "they take 50 billions of health care funds from the Government and Take away Canadians job in the Long run"? Can you please provide a link to the source for this?
International students pay a monthly premium for the insurance. You can't blame Canadian companies for hiring much educated and more experienced individuals than getting someone that only finished high school.🤷♂️
Students pay for private insurance here in Manitoba. I don't know about other provinces. But students here don't qualify for public insurance. And students contribute over $20 billion, not millions
@@TienTran-oh8dn They may bring short term gain but their over all net contribution is minimal. These are not highly productive and highly skilled students turning in to workers . These are by large poorly educated people whose main objective is PR not education.
Hello I’m confused….the statement you displayed said ‘graduates from programs at public colleges will remain eligible……’ but you said they will ‘only’ be eligible. Have you confirmed this?
To clarify, this statement applies to public college graduates and the condition is, you must have graduated from a field of study linked to occupations in long term shortages OR from a certain program level (there needs to be clarification on which of the two is it) So the statement "will only be eligible..." is a precondition. Let me know if this is clearer :)
The government is definitely closing the student to PR pathway, the long term economic impact they'll create is increased college & university tuition fees for Canadians and permanent residents, which will lead to more affordability and labour shortage issues. This will not put a dent on housing affordability, more government scrutiny and media coverage needs to be placed on the lack of housing starts. If there is so much housing demand, why are housing starts not keeping up? Home developers should see this as an opportunity, there must be some government red tape at play that needs to be addressed.
I agree! When demand for a product outpace supply, this usually pushes up price. When rental and home prices goes up, this signals to developers and home builders that there is an opportunity to profit. However, when government red tap and taxes get in the way, this inevitably slows down progress. I think most Canadians would rather point the finger at the international students (demand side) as opposed to blaming the government for their failure by not creating more homes (supply side).
In 2022 and 2023, Canada brought in around 1 million new people in both permanent and temporary streams. The US also brings in 1 million people per year. The difference? The US has a population that is 10x Canada. The issue is absolutely on the demand side, not the supply side. Because there is no reason a country with 40M population should be bringing in the same amount of people per year as a country with 340M population. You can't build your way out of such a huge deficit.
If it's all on the demand side, then why do Americans have the same sentiment about home ownership being unattainable as Canadians? The US has it's own housing affordability issues with it's "0.3%" immigration rate. That's points to a systematic supply issue. In the US, it costs home developers almost twice as much to get their engineering plans checked & approved by local governments than it cost to engineer the development itself. That's just one sample of wasteful bureaucracy that get's passed to the consumer. That's a reason why developers in the US aren't building homes for first time homebuyers, there's no profit in it, instead they build homes only wealthy people can afford.
@@jgarcia65348 Yes it is on demand side. Can we make improvements to supply side? Absolutely and the Canadian government should. But I hope you know how absurd it is for a country of 40M to bring in 1M people per year, when Canada is already in a housing deficit even before the 1M people/year started. That is the same as the US bringing 16M immigrants per year if you equate the per capita population. And it isn't just housing. It's all infrastructure. Wastewater systems, roads, and hospitals take years/decades to build. It is VERY easy to say "just build more" or "just cut red tape". But the reality is that these things have to be built first before a huge population boom, not the other way around. And it takes many years. Not to mention Canada's job market can't even employ its own citizens. The job market is another factor that you can't just say "Just make more jobs". You want to shove hundreds of thousands of new immigrants in every year just so they can be unemployed? It's already happening in fact.
A few bad apples mess it up for the rest. One company made 325 million dollars from international students.
which company is that?
A few? 80%

Canadian immigration law explicitly allows for dual intent, but it requires applicants to demonstrate that they will comply with the conditions of their temporary stay (i.e., as a student) if their application for permanent residence is unsuccessful.
"canadians and the canadian goverment don't owe temporary residents anything"
yeah right, except for the fact that a lot of them go on to participate in their economy, not just in the form of labour, but also in the tuition, rent, and other costs accrued during their studies. one out of four health sector workers in canada is an immigrant, and that number is even higher if you look at individual specialisations like dentists. people like you think "the canadian government doesn't owe you anything" when in fact the very programs exist because your government wants to prop up the economy.
"it's not a right, it's a privilege"
it's neither. it's not a privilege to pay an exorbitant amount of money to study, to abide by your laws and still be subjected to the occasional racist remark. for some, that permission to study or the permission to work is a matter that's only a few steps removed from life-or-death, something most of you will never know or will ever have to go through.
As a prospective student.. fortunately these changes don't discourage me but as you said, it does make me confused as to the correct ways to move forward with the process.. I am hoping that I will have more definite information to work with after November 1st
It's about time the government started giving Canada back to ACTUAL Canadians. International students and temporary foreign workers have been heavily favoured by the Trudeau government for far too long. Canadian citizens and permanent residents should ALWAYS get first dibs on jobs and housing in Canada.
As an international student, I 100% agree to this, if I ever in future become a PR or Citizen I would want my government to favor me and priortize me over Temporary workers and International students.
If we're talking about the ACTUAL Canadians, did you mean, give it back to the First Nation? Cause they own this land
@@katherinecanita6962 Don't be a wiseass. You know exactly what I meant when I said ACTUAL Canadians. I even stated in that last sentence that the government should ALWAYS prioritize Canadian citizens and permanent residents on the topics of jobs and housing.
@@Honesto-ramis 😂
These comments are aggressive. I created an IRCC profile for express entry but my ranking points is pretty much 0 🤣 so y'all don't have to worry about me. IF I get an invite to apply for PR it will be a miracle!!! I thought about trying to do my masters there, then come back to the USA and see if the masters degree gives me more points but I just don't have that kind of money to burn.
For those who commented out in this channel, I advice you to think first! For the mere fact that Canada allows foreign students means, Canada Profit from it! True. Problem is , That's all they see from foreign students, yet most of these foreign students bring bigger money once they contribute to Canada. Learn from other countries mistakes, See USA, they allowed this and but got greedy and now some of there local workers are too entitled. Let this be a lesson to Canada, Foreign students/workers are not the problem, its always the greedy people behind it who just see money. If you think this is not the case then why Canada offer it? Perhaps, locals are entitled now just because ? or maybe locals are being left behind AKA USA mentality. My country does the same, yet smart enough to learn from these students/workers and adapt to grow not to limit growth. Yeah for those who has something against Foreign Students/Workers , and just sitting down doing nothing, think twice, how hard your life would be if these money stream how shady they may be disappear ? who do you think the government will get the money from ahem your TAX? your salary? your pay? can you swallow that ?
5:04 ngl to you most of my Korean friends that went to english school with me don't speak almost any english, so I believed that this is really important
Great points. They're just playing games with international grad students at this point, try for Ireland or similar
U mean no longer work or permanent residence for international students? So it's a waist of time if international students want now to study their innit
How? You were NEVER promised PR.
@@fraserpaulina I know there are these turban heads that pretend to study and then unfairly get PRs, but dawg, ain't no way you're tryna embroil university undergrads with people who have 1 year certifications on niche topics that no one cares about
Hey Rachel , watching ur vids from the day you went to Canada ! Just wanna know if I do a 1 year or 2 year post graduate diploma , will I get a pgwp for 3 years ? I’m following the bios was related courses
Or what if I do masters ?
They need to cut way more than 48k per year 🤦🏻♂️
These were necessary changes. Canada cannot bring in 1 million + people into the country when the supply chains and the workforce have the ability to build 200k homes every year. Why bring in a lot of students only to have to tell them to go back? Those who do well should be able to become permanent residents eventually. For that to be possible, the number of students coming in has to be manageable.
Hey, quick question? I am in canada on sowp my spouse is on work permit and graduating in Dec-24. Both the permits are expiring in April-25. Will the sowp restrictions apply to my case as i will need extension to sowp, or i will be fine ? Thoughts and comments please
447000 is still too many, hopefully the uncertainty itself will help cut down the numbers
I now know my one source of information .... you do this very well and I like your take which is very balanced in my opinion. I suspect a lot of this is driven by politics and also excessive immigration previously.
we filed an SOWP application by July 22..we opted for a one year master program in Crandall university..as they didn't mentioned any time frame for this limitation will this impact our application or no need to worry??we worried much after this announcement.. kindly advise
we really taking the heat, if only they provide certain places in canada where immigrants will have a high chance of getting their pr i would go
Your group made it harder for everyone.
I'm from Mexico, I was looking to study my masters for engineering over there and I guess my only concern is how are PNP programs going to be affected overall.
Other than that I don't think anything other than the cap would affect me
Until now they have left the master's students alone, any trade, education or skill set needed in the economy or that has high chance of contributing to the economy are likely to be left alone and master's students do prove to be of value so yea they're not gonna touch you guys.
We're full, stay in Mexico.
@@KP-wt8qr say whatever you want to say it's just part of my ambition of studying master's elsewhere
Between January of this year and August. Over 13K International Students applied for asylum in Canada. The International Student Program is Broken.
Good work love ur videos
1. Yes
Thanks for sharing! Are you considering postponing your studies in Canada, or exploring other countries instead?
yay I'm not as affected by these changes. here's hoping it doesn't get worse...
Thank you. The government will make better policies very soon for international students
Ameen .
i know someone whose international student studying business admin (Management) He is worried because his course is not in labour shortgage in Alberta, he is hoping that policy will change as he has 2 years ( it's his first semester this fall) but many are advising him to change program or even uwi na lang ng pinas thoughts?
Generally speaking, business administration is quite a popular program. Because of this popularity, there will be many business admin graduates. So just imagine the large number of business admin students looking for the jobs after graduation. With that said, I don't imagine the government adding business admin to the list of long-term occupation shortage.
Given changing political environment on immigration policies, its best to be flexible and adapt to change.
Bakit kasi puro business admin? Kasi madali lang kineme? Hahaha mag-shift nlng puro kayo Business admin
Business admin = 100% just exploiting the student pathway to become a PR. It is a useless degree.
Hed better be its going to get worse
Can I study hca or psw if my previous course in the Philippines is business ad.?
Hi !! I am one of your channel subscriber. I have been enrolled in 1 years masters program in organizational Management at Crandall University for January 2025 intake and have got study permit and visa as well hoping to be landed in Moncton on December 18, 2024. But I am now really got confused whether the new announcement by ircc regarding spousal work permit will affect me. Also whether my child will be eligible to accompany me later on and be able to get free study in Canada. I am really frustrated on these frequent changes coming for international graduate students in Canada. Is the purpose to discourage students to come Canada? Seek your kind suggestions and comments on my situation whether they restricted spousal open work permit or both spousal work permit as well as kids free study too for those are in 1 year Masters. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you so much in advance.
Just 1 yr study?
Then Yes. No more OWP for your spouse. But you can still take your kid though.
Please wait and see before you sell everything you own. IRCC is not done reforming the policies yet.
@@ViserysThePeaceful I thank you so much for your kind, prompt and very thoughtful suggestions regarding my situation. Yes my enrolled study program is 1 years Master in organizational Management at Crandall university, Moncton, New Brunswick. As you said still though the spouse will not be entitled to get owp but I can still bring my kid. Does it mean up to year 18 he will be entitled to get a free education up to 18 year facility that was like before? Your kind opinion and actual fact is solicited. Sincere regards,
Your children can accompany you to Canada using a study permit (their SP).
It's about time, bye bye 👋🏻
I am planning to do my masters in computer science in 2026. Is the situation in Canada bad for tech graduates?
Yes brother i am also planning in 2025. For masters in computer science.
Its quite early to tell what Canada's political landscape will look like come November 1, 2024 or even early next year. In your position, its best to wait a bit longer to have some clarity on where Canada is going with the international student program.
It is bad. Real bad for tech specifically.
The tech jobs are already outsourced to India.
Please think about your decision 100x.
Better to go Australia 🇦🇺 4.1 unemployment
Canada is totally mess
6.6 unemployment
Good , to live and study in Canada is a priviledge.
Is masters in canada in computer scienec from top universities still worth it? In 2025
for papers? prolly, for future? depends on your skills, are you better than the 1000000000000000 future IT guys?
International Student brings 30 Million and they take 50 Billions of health care funds from the Goverment and Take away Canadians job in the Long run.
Lucky are the 1st ones who came early.
How about that short term vision from Immigration consultants.
Do you know you are an illiterate, don’t you?
The university where I study, international students pay approximately $300 per semester for the health insurance, but it doesn’t cover everything. If they need a dental care, they have to pay from their own pocket. If they need a surgery, they have to pay from their own fund. One of my friend needed a surgery so he flew back to his country, got his surgery done and came back, and he saved around $1000 than the cost to that would have been in Canada.
I’m thinking to visit his country and get my next treatment done because it costs 1/4 of the cost what would be in Canada, also way less time. Learn something about the world, retard.
Can you please clarify this statement, "they take 50 billions of health care funds from the Government and Take away Canadians job in the Long run"?
Can you please provide a link to the source for this?
International students pay a monthly premium for the insurance. You can't blame Canadian companies for hiring much educated and more experienced individuals than getting someone that only finished high school.🤷♂️
Students pay for private insurance here in Manitoba. I don't know about other provinces. But students here don't qualify for public insurance. And students contribute over $20 billion, not millions
@@TienTran-oh8dn They may bring short term gain but their over all net contribution is minimal. These are not highly productive and highly skilled students turning in to workers . These are by large poorly educated people whose main objective is PR not education.
any topics sa new BC PNP
Hello
I’m confused….the statement you displayed said ‘graduates from programs at public colleges will remain eligible……’ but you said they will ‘only’ be eligible. Have you confirmed this?
To clarify, this statement applies to public college graduates and the condition is, you must have graduated from a field of study linked to occupations in long term shortages OR from a certain program level (there needs to be clarification on which of the two is it)
So the statement "will only be eligible..." is a precondition.
Let me know if this is clearer :)
@@rrdancel That clears it up a bit, thank you.
@@rrdancelis it from this November?
All those students who are studying business and hospitality right now wont get pgwp?
Give me some time, i can't walk with! So many changes such a short time!!! 😂
The government is definitely closing the student to PR pathway, the long term economic impact they'll create is increased college & university tuition fees for Canadians and permanent residents, which will lead to more affordability and labour shortage issues. This will not put a dent on housing affordability, more government scrutiny and media coverage needs to be placed on the lack of housing starts. If there is so much housing demand, why are housing starts not keeping up? Home developers should see this as an opportunity, there must be some government red tape at play that needs to be addressed.
I agree! When demand for a product outpace supply, this usually pushes up price. When rental and home prices goes up, this signals to developers and home builders that there is an opportunity to profit. However, when government red tap and taxes get in the way, this inevitably slows down progress.
I think most Canadians would rather point the finger at the international students (demand side) as opposed to blaming the government for their failure by not creating more homes (supply side).
In 2022 and 2023, Canada brought in around 1 million new people in both permanent and temporary streams. The US also brings in 1 million people per year. The difference? The US has a population that is 10x Canada.
The issue is absolutely on the demand side, not the supply side. Because there is no reason a country with 40M population should be bringing in the same amount of people per year as a country with 340M population. You can't build your way out of such a huge deficit.
If it's all on the demand side, then why do Americans have the same sentiment about home ownership being unattainable as Canadians? The US has it's own housing affordability issues with it's "0.3%" immigration rate. That's points to a systematic supply issue. In the US, it costs home developers almost twice as much to get their engineering plans checked & approved by local governments than it cost to engineer the development itself. That's just one sample of wasteful bureaucracy that get's passed to the consumer. That's a reason why developers in the US aren't building homes for first time homebuyers, there's no profit in it, instead they build homes only wealthy people can afford.
@@jgarcia65348 Yes it is on demand side. Can we make improvements to supply side? Absolutely and the Canadian government should. But I hope you know how absurd it is for a country of 40M to bring in 1M people per year, when Canada is already in a housing deficit even before the 1M people/year started. That is the same as the US bringing 16M immigrants per year if you equate the per capita population.
And it isn't just housing. It's all infrastructure. Wastewater systems, roads, and hospitals take years/decades to build. It is VERY easy to say "just build more" or "just cut red tape". But the reality is that these things have to be built first before a huge population boom, not the other way around. And it takes many years.
Not to mention Canada's job market can't even employ its own citizens. The job market is another factor that you can't just say "Just make more jobs". You want to shove hundreds of thousands of new immigrants in every year just so they can be unemployed? It's already happening in fact.
