Sir. You hit the nail on the head . Anon’s comments present insight as well.
I had an opportunity to visit my second home ( Toronto being dual citizen for Canada and US plus OCI) just few weeks prior to my trip to India in December. We were there on invitation from Caucasian Canadian close friend who employs over 200 migrants in his food plants, most of them Punjabis. My friend’s read was very close to Anon’s comments. The work force he has are very hard working , ambitious and have strong love for Canada. But new entrants have created embarrassment.
After speaking with some friends in Punjab during my visit. One professor felt that easy path of getting student visa , work permit eventually becoming permanent resident has been harmful to the youth.
It is false and not applicable in all instances. Instead of traditional way to excel academically locally , prepare for competitive jobs in Government and Private sector, youth is imagining green pastures by risking family life time savings, taking on debts or selling agricultural land. Greedy unscrupulous travel agents are just as much part of the problem by offering illegal ways ( crossing the borders or present them as political asylum etc).
The housing crisis may be being politically correct but law and order has to be other major reason for discouraging inflow of students.
Having spoken to various Indians, settled in Canada since the last couple of decades, most of them from an Educated background were wanting a CAP on student visas because as per them, Indian students have been disturbing the existing social system with hooliganism and crime. Though majority of them are industrious and hardworking, the miniscule balance gives the entire community a bad name. In fact political parties had this point in their manifestos for the coming elections in Canada, which Trudeau has already consolidated into a law.
What you say is quite correct. The fact of the matter is that as long as the economy was doing well, jobs were easy to get, both for the fresh international students, as well as the previous emigrants from India. But in the downturn, the students, though entitled to work for a stipulated number of hours, could not find any job-- for subsistence, they had to opt for working beneath the minimum wage, thereby indirectly impacting on the jobs and job prospects of the previous emigrants......
As regards, crime and hooliganism, the same is triggered by conflicting economic interest between the two aforesaid broad categories..... I feel, a person on a student visa...thus "kacha"...would not normally risk indulging in crime, for fear of being deported.
