The international student cap is the most significant move in recent history: Benjamin Tal 

He is right, this small colleges the international students doesn't really study instead they are working under the table.

Schools Should have cap on what percentage of international students can enroll. Hundreds of colleges should shut down.

*Brampton LandLords are crying, how will they pack 15 students into one basement apartment now with this new limit* 😅🤣😂

Finally someone can speak the truth. Canada should greatly reduce its immigration level for a few years.

Very good move The system is being abused all through

Just LIMIT giving PRs

Let's do a quota system, such and such a number of people coming in from such and such countries... Diversity is strength. The path that we are going down is a disaster where individuals from one country outnumber all international immigrants combined and get so much say that they start shaping the domestic politics... We are slowly but surely becoming India 2.0, if not Middle East 2.0 or Africa 2.0... absolutely lack of diversity in any which way you look at the facts

Why are we concerned about housing for international students? We need housing for Canada's homeless and the poor?

This will be painful for some Canadian universities, mainly in Ontario, that have become addicted to foreign student tuition fees! Doug Ford is very upset at the idea that he will be obliged to give more money to the Ontario universities !

I see students working like part time with their 20 hours and illegally in others jobs....basically here to work.....Never understood how they get time to study.....as it turns out, they aren't studying.......School bring students in to work to pay for their diploma mills papers.......what a business model.

The Brampton SlumLords are Protesting 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the are crying to the cow gods

Soo i can finally go to college as an born canadian. Their will be room 👍

it's not just the pop-up private colleges! The public Ontario colleges and universities are complicit in this as well. They take the money from the international students but do not provide high quality education or provide services to support them. Professors have a phantom classlist and fe students who actually attend or complete the course.

So many international students. Domestic students have fewer choices. If you bring in so many foreign students into Canada who have the money, what does it do to Canadians? Do Canadian generations get displaced? Such large groups of international students, does that create a group that discriminates agains local students? As for work, I want a job at Walmart and NoFrills, but they would not hire me because I am too old....but they hire students.

What impacts could it have? Um I don’t know , maybe some of us Canadians can find a place to live. Still not affordable, but might have more availability. Feels like they are doing it all this way too late.

Most Canadian citizens are happy with this new cap. Should’ve happened a long time ago.

Canada should limit immigration to no more than 1% of the total population per year, encompassing permanent residents, students, and foreign workers. The focus should be on investing in Canadians to make them employable and encourage them to contribute to the economy.

Great interview. A class in Economics 101

My questions are how come most international students are East Indian ? Did Pierre giving his friends kids free citizenships indirectly ? Were are the jobs for Canadian teenagers ? All the restaurants , security guards , calling centres and more jobs are token by international students. In additional , the rent prices went up because of immigrates .

There should not be any international student permits for a few years nor there families.

35% means nothing FOR INDIAN STUDENTS. IT SHOULD HAVE 75%

My colleagues and I believe we heard this week from Miller: For higher populated provinces like Ontario a two year 50% cap (perhaps more)is being launched effecting Sept 2024 semester+. Less populated provinces, 35%. However certain students are cap-exempt, i.e. physicians, nurses, skilled trade workers. International students will need to attach a "provincial attestation" to their study permit. Meaning the student must legally verify (via Canadian standards) that ALL of their necessary documents are indeed authentic. Including per year showing they have $21,000 in savings (after their tuition is paid plus roundtrip travel costs). Elements of monthly bank records will need to be shown (if asked for) proving the money is indeed THEIRS plus THEY are using it to pay for things they need from WITHIN Canada. No fraud. No work permit for spouses. Unless the student is exempt, i.e. a physician. Hence eliminating all the fake marriages. Student's work permit expires upon graduation. Unless they qualify for exemptions. Caps/restrictions/strict-authentications. PRIVATE colleges investigated (foreign interference). Cda schools are no longer to be used for people solely wanting PR or, even worse, plan on staying in Cda illegally if disqualified. No more foreign agents, aka smugglers, cashing in too.

Never seen a country get so poor so quickly, we have been run by idiots

Still alot,how iz that fair those who came here not studying and still completing for job!! I see it everyday, all jobs held by them

I had just relocated to northern B.C., and was attending a business fair at the local college. I noticed the majority of students seemed to be foreign. At the time, I was very enthusiastic about the arrangement. I went to a nursing class at the same college. The nursing instructor began with the words, "You will all pass". She was right, but it was because the class was not at all difficult (or even ethical). After living there for almost a decade, I started to catch on that the college brought massive amounts of money into the community. I also worked in a homeless shelter full of Canadian guests, staffed by many foreign students. It was a union job, so these students were definitely NOT cheap labor. Despite protocol, they would leave guests out in -35C, while laughing in their faces. When they weren't lying to, taking advantage of, and being extremely sadistic and abusive to our guests, they were scrolling on their phones not doing their jobs. I'm fine with bringing in nurses from other countries. As an ex-nurse, I know that the nursing "education" in Canada is a joke. Ask a nurse what the "nursing diagnosis" of "imbalanced energy field" means. The real cause of the nursing shortage before the pandemic was nurse to nurse abusiveness (Google "nurses eat their young"). So bringing in nurses from countries where the labor laws are more lax, so they are already used to the abuse, is a good idea.

Trudo doubles # of int students & now cuts by 35%..how does this help young canadians with their rent?

It's still way too high. They all move to the GTA. They are supposed to be able to financially suppiry themselves, but they cant.

But government not solve their housing problems... stupid government

Canada uses Newcomers to pay pensions of old Europeans through tax

Lol 360 000 is still a LOT of "students". Spain which is a huge foreign student central has only about 170 000 a year.

Puppy 🐶 mill college need shut in Ontario and BC

I need somewhere to move 10 years ago. I chose the place I'm in because I could and can still just barely afford it. The sinkholes popping up around it this passed year, after the downspouts were redirected, and the growing daily gaps in this plaster and around these doors and windows... Yeah, yeah. That and this is the fourth owner in as many years, and none have done anything but lipstick the vacant units and double their rent. Yeah, if I don't die in this building's collapse, I will loose everything else to it.

Great comments!

We dont need a CAP we need a STOP

Wow, about time!

What you mean selling citizen on the cheap. How much should it cost?

Applications were already down by 40%, so there were less students coming anyway. Just political theatre. Canada has lost it appeal on a global basis

Too little too late!

does it impact the existing work permit renewals? if someone is working full time with bank on work permite and their work permit is going to expire in few months , what happend to them ? will they be getting the renewal of work permit?

According to Benjamin Tal, the international student cap represents a pivotal moment in recent history. Gain insights into the implications of this crucial development.

This will not fix the housing crisis but I guess they need a scapegoat to blame to make it seem like they’re doing their job. I see that a lot of people in the comments are fooled by this. In 2 years the same problems will still exist

Good initiative for better future

What's the Govt going to do with those 20% international students who are enrolled but not attending classes and working full time! Deport the students whose study period is expired, same thing with foreigners with visitor visa who overstays. Declare a moratorium on asylum seekers for two years until the situation in the country is stabilized. Take care of Canadians first.Let our children and grandchildren start working in our own country. Let us feel a sigh of relief! Close all 'puppy mills'. Kick out all bad actors.....

But who will delivery my DoorDash and Amazon?

Now put a two year cap on immigration!

Who is going to do all the barrista jobs? Nobody. Every Cafe I have been at are international students. Stupid move!! They obviously found a place to live.

Sorry we're closed

International fees are too cheap compared to those of other countries.

Is it that Canada is caping the students or the students are capping Canada (they talk to each other and know what the situation is Canada)….?

This overpriced hovel I live in is going to collapse before two years have elapsed. Two years for affordable rentals is too long. Period.

Still too many

We can survive 300k immigration in 2014, why we can't. Student visa broker is moving to business visa. Immigration need to focus on business visa too, be proactive. There is a loophole

Reduction,,, excellent move. But housing isn't the right excuse.

Please approve PR only for students who did masters or PhD here. That's another solution. Strict changes should come for PR requirements too. Thats the biggest solution to overcome canadian's crisis today.

Great

Nice

Creating the problems and then receiving credit when they do something about the problems they created while stealing their fat pensions from the people. Wow, what a great racket.

Canada is for Canadians. Immigrating here is a privilege for a select few.

Work permit have been an issue for those entrying the country. Colleges that have taken advantage of these people who taken their money it will now stop. Like he said n its wrong Bad players who are selling canadians citizenship ownerships n scamming the government are cracking down. Rental is an issue N those canadians life are being affected. Low wages is an issue. Guy is on track.

Conestoga College has a $106-million surplus A lot of politicians own Real Estate. Follow the money! Many Business owners are getting labor for $10/hour CASH. Who is complaining?🤣🤣🤣

We are truly proud of our PM. Thank you for limiting educated immigrants. Now please increase the number of "refugees" and support them on our taxes eg federal, provincial, hst, property tax or the government "fees" we pay. Thank you PM. Keep it up.

Hindu Indian are happy that finally Canada took the step , it will certainly curb criminal activity and referendum game of particular section of people who want to split India 🎉

Please stop all immigration and reduce taxes! We are not very competitive.

The only significant move in the last 8 years.

Hello

Blame Canada 🇨🇦

If they think their citizens and native canadians are enough to fulfill the job market and making contribution for their country's economy then they have to close all the immigration programs as well as study programs for all the international students(not just targeting undergraduate students) for next two years. Then see who gonna impacted the most specially the universities and colleges of canada with empty chairs. They have to stop sending their delegations of canadian colleges and universities to other countries specially countries in south asia because i know some radical native canadians targeting and blaming only people of these countries but still their universities seeking an oxygen over there coz they know they generate 65% revenue of canadian education from these countries i not gonna named, so stop disrespecting and hurting the emotions of south asian people and asked your university delegations stop visiting there if you really dont wanna see them in canada. They are working as an specialist doctors, IT engineers and other professionals after investing heavy amount on canadian education, they are not begging for anything from canadian govt. There are several true stories available on internet sharing their bitter experiences for immigrate to canada. One person even quoted "EARNED IN DUBAI AND WASTED IN CANADA".

my best friend from work was an international student. miss that guy

While I agree they need to curb the immigration and money churn for these "immigration factories" there is a component that will be kind of sad. There are former students who are now currently working who will end up being booted out of the country and families will be split up due to this. They should go easy on existing scenarios and work on improving the process going forward.

35% is not enough I can tell you that

Harper changed the immigration rules in 2012. 50% of migrants to Canada used to be economic, that's those who earn $250k or more. Harper changed it to 70%. 20% of the housing supply was rental units. Talking about Math, there's some very simple Math for you. 20% and 20% plus 12 years.

Benjamin is hilarious, when ever Bloomberg will tell him to use demand narrative he will become the parrot and when they want to spin the supply narrative he changes his tone !! 😂😂😂

Bro should learn English himself lol

This will have negative impact as well. All major colleges n universities are mostly funded by intl students. Govt grants are now at an all time low. They will now need more money from govt to keep them running which will need to more spending -> more money printing -> more inflation

Not enough and too many loopholes

Maybe some visas for Mexico too???

Goof

Good move but too Late . Shame on liberals . welcome is not enough. Home ,hospitals , schools and roads also need to build .Justin T need to retire ASA P

So increase productivity is replacing jobs with tech, without replacing those jobs with anything, got it

Maybe they are being capped because they have used up the best part of the pool. Not every Indian is a rich genius.
