Is The 'Foreign Dream' Fading? Canada & Australia Tighten Immigration Policies Amid Economic Strain

Canada is scrapping its temporary worker programme, as its unemployment rate is more than 6 percent now and there's been a severe housing crisis as well. Going to Australia for studies will also get tougher as it is capping the intake of foreign students. For decades, Indians have left for foreign shores in search of a better life. But is the 'Foreign Dream' coming to an end? On this edition of Business@ 9, ET NOW's Vikram Oza speaks with Nareshkumar Chavda, Immigration Consultant, in Canada; and Santosh Rao, Head of Research & Partner, Manhattan Venture Partners

We're not "blaming the wrong people" - we're not "blaming" the immigrants (or temporary foreign workers, or international students - which aren't actually immigrants). We're blaming our government for letting more people into the country than we can accommodate or be integrated into our society. Reducing the numbers of those people are not a 'punishment' in any way - it's simply the only solution.

Check the reality on the ground and tell me. Come to Brampton and Surrey and tell me if you need more people from other countries. Seriously

**GET OUT ASAP ....1 STUDENT, THEN HIS WIFE, THEN HIS PARENTS, THEN HIS BROTHER, SISTER....REPEAT WITH WIFE **....WE NOW HAVE 24 PEOPLE

The house next door was purchased by an Indian national. There are 15 Indian 'students' living there. 2 Vans come to pick up the 'students' for construction, agriculture, and Tim Hortons (they have the uniforms on). The property is a mess, cars everywhere, noise, garbage, and foul cooking odors. The basement suite has only 1 entrance/exit and is in violation of fire code. The city does nothing. The federal government promoted this. This model is driving housing prices up and wages down.

Its about housing. We just dont have enough of it for new immigrants

They left India through these means to get citizenship in those foreign countries, now why should India help them ? These steps will impact khalistanis the most, who go to Canada and Australia on student visas by joining 3 month 6 month nonsense courses and start working as truck drivers, food delivery or work in restaurants and have 0 skills in anything else.

Mr. Rao: "It's a little bit of xenophobia, but it's a temporary pause, they need people...I wouldn't make it a big thing". Downplaying the issue and brushing it off as racism is misreading the reality on the ground in Canada. A lot of his arguments are overly simplistic.

[Nakamura-sn]

The Canadian immi policy is not diverse! Why did they give permit to so many Indian?

[BOYLipad]

GoodNews for Australians and Canadians. Fight for your country.

[Hewillmakeawaytodayandforever]

What rights do you have to demand to stay in someone else’s country? What is the definition of temporary worker? International students?

[praveeng]

It is too late. This decision should have taken couple of years back

It's bad that this situation has risen... But it's self inflicted by the Indian Students themselves... On the pretext of studies... They come to Canada and do all the odd jobs except studies especially the students who study in colleges (not University)... During the peak COVID times, the immigration allowed even a college students to bring in their partner (including those who are in conjugal relationships) which again bloated the influx substantially... Needless to say the immigration scamsters in India, Canada and throughout the globe took advantage of this going to the extent of faking the IELTS and few other documents... The Canadian Government has woken up and making a course correction, which is good for both Canada and all the countries to have a cleaner system based on credibility...
