Rents need to come down first for this change to be meaningful. Come here and see how expensive everything is and you will plan to leave soon after.

GTA is fine, the only major issue is everything is expensive. If you want to go to Quebec, be ready to pay a month's salary in extra taxes compared to Ontario, taxes are sky high and they tax everything, even employer benefits. I think they will soon introduce a tax to just breath. Stay away...

Outside of tech, salaries are pretty bad in India from my personal experience.

Learning French for 2 years just to boost your CRS score with no guarantee of ITA is stupid, JEE decides future for kids, something completely different IMO.

Maybe 0.00000000001% of the people. Reaching CLB7 in French will take two years of dedicated study, not easy at all.

Someone previously said that this is IRCC's way of adding country cap, they wont come out and directly add country wise quotas like the US. Maybe because they just need to add a cap on India and every other country will balance out :D

It's simple, India is the biggest cash cow for Canada and they want to issue those visas, even the universities are crying about the student cap, so ridiculous. Maybe the universities will lower their acceptance standards to boost international students because Masters is eligible for PGWP and...

Only Universities can offer Masters degree right? If they do this and try to milk international students, won't their reputation get damaged? I doubt if the top universities will do this.

Anything below Masters will not be eligible for SOWP so you are right lol I am surprised IRCC made such big moves.

PG Diploma falls under college level program right? I am sure a big chunk of international students were coming here to study PG Diploma courses as they couldn't get admission into Masters because of their low academic scores. In this way, I think the reduction will be significant.

Looks like this is happening in many universities: https://www.sfu.ca/human-resources/managers-supervisors/hiring-freeze-faqs.html SFU currently faces a financial shortfall in the 2023/24 fiscal year due to lower international enrollments and increased cost pressures. We expect that SFU's...

I highly doubt that any politician has the spine to do anything drastic Conservative or Liberal, I guarantee that nothing significant will happen. The so called "experts" on the news are already sounding alarm bells saying that the economy will slip into a recession if immigration is stopped in...

He was putting the blame on provinces when the federal IRCC issued those visas, can't these people even count?

I bet that the other 1/3rd are home owners looking to milk their properties as much as possible.

How many new immigrants do you think are coming here with big bags of cash? I am sure 99% of the new immigrants will not have such a big amount of savings to dump into a home in Canada and take massive amount of debt on top of that. Like you said, saving for a 20% down payment even with high pay...

Buying a home in Canada is like living in a dystopian society.

You didn't mention anything about what to do if anyone or both lose their jobs which is highly likely to happen in this recessionary time.

I need to wait till I get my tax refund which will be around April so will leave in May. I was talking specifically about India, not sure about other countries. From what I am seeing in salary trends, if you work in tech, you can easily earn 70% - 80% net of what you will earn in Canada with...

You will not be saving anything if you just keep moving around. One thing I have understood is you cannot retire in a western country, you will have to move back at some point so it's best to do that now. Canada and all western countries are overrated AF.

Just go back to India and build your career there. Salaries have gone up drastically and you will be saving way more there than any of these western countries where cost of living is insanely high for no reason and from my personal experience, quality of life worse in worse some aspects. So much...
