Canada Terminates Popular Student Visa Scheme, Indian, Pakistani Students Affected

Canada has abruptly ended its popular Student Direct Stream (SDS) program that allowed a fast-track study permit process. The program ends effectively on November 8 and applications received by 2 pm ET will be processed under SDS. The Canadian government said that the move was aimed at giving all students equal and fair access. The SDS was launched to simplify the visa application process in 2018 for students from 14 countries, including India and Pakistan. The applicants were asked to meet the scheme’s requirements, which included a Canadian Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) worth CAD $20,635 and English or French language test scores. The move reflected Canada’s push to control its immigrant population amid growing housing and resource strains in Canada.

Their country, their laws and rules. Stop shaming yourself by crying for their visa.

[santhosh]

I'm Indian and I wholeheartedly support this move.

[BasedInBrazil]

Good, those education vacancies should be used for Canadian citizens. Even 437, 000 foreign student study permits are way too many for a country of 40 million.

[VandaPietrantonio]

It is about time. Some of these STUDENTS never actually go to school, get freebies and stay here. Some who actually study are taking places which should go to CANADIANS.

As a korean immigrant, we respect the law in canada and stay quiet. I know punjabs want to show off what you guys have but pls obey the law here. Idk if you guys think cool driving dodge and mustang and bursting loud weird indian music in the streets is a cool thing. Idk why you guys put weird black balls infront of your car bumper too. Have you seen any other immigrants here putting stickers of their country in your car hood or on the side? It would be funny if i put big ass “Korea” sticker on my car. honestly its just funny and cute to watch trying to show off. If you have time like that go work for your family and try to invest time for yourself.

Side effects no.1. .... For Indians and indian students as well, Canada was favourite option. It was one common wealth nation, which was freely accepting students from india. But the usual indian trait of ' misusing ' facilities and the indian foreign policies resulted in students losing out

Canada, you need to WAKE UP. Ive visited toronto and montreal for the nightlife scene and it was a blast before they started coming in mass. Cultural diversity is great but this is basically taking over a country without a single shot being fired. This silent invasion of mass indians needs to stop. I too am an immigrant but at least in my culture, we dont disrespect other cultures boundaries like that by shoving flags into peoples faces, putting loud music in public. Thats just gonna piss alot of people off. I have friends of all colors but it comes to the point enough is ENOUGH. Canada THINK FAST and bring back the energy

[ferdy]

Pls don't copy Crux. I don't like watching videos with CC only.

[viswasrujith]

This is great Indian economy can now save upto $30 billion dollars every year in student and tution fees.

[eskimomonkey]

Replace "scheme" with "scam"

[mikehallman]

This has been going on for years. Also used and abused by thousands of Indians. That needs to end . No more welcome mat.

[Lovely_Preppy]

Good decision for both Canada and India.
Now India has to make all those visa aspirants to pay More money going to Canada. Atleast 50% of their tuition fees.

[TheExcep_tion]

Canadians love newcomers that are interested in helping Canada. The visa program was exploited. The govt is culpable but there are people circumventing and breaking laws to get here. That is unacceptable.

This ban affects white Irish people too. It isnt racist or personal.

[thatavarthijayaprakasarao]

Nothing is free. Why to crave? Let us develop our own world class, institutions utilising the Indian Diaspora's, cooperation.

[Bn-fdkp]

Recently drove through Edmonton and am shocked there is anyone left in India or Pakistan.

[o-kt-]

very good.why does anyone spent ludicrous amounts to study if they cant stay there.they should rather start applying for business visas instead or buy property there with that money.🤑

[Jayjayshanidev]

Indians must enjoy amrit kal of modiji in India only

[carenlook]

They brought the standsrds doelwn so bad

[Renedescartest]

Great initiatives. Safe ur own country

[bepositive]

With a PM like Dustbin, the education must be like Dustbin only 😂.
Dont know why people paid so much money for Dustbin education😅
