Gujaratis disillusioned with Canada, Trudeau government decides to cut student immigration by 35% | News India

Canada Immigration: There was a kind of excitement among students going to Canada till last year despite being aware of Canada's problems, but now it is turning into more disappointment. New foreign students are facing massive rejection after the Trudeau government announced that international students will not get work permit if they choose a private college with licensed courses. This decision has also directly affected the Spice Visa and the number of students going to Canada from Gujarat has seen a decline of 35 percent till January 24, 2018, when Canada imposed a cap of 3.6 lakh students.

Last week, the Trudeau government of Canada had also cut the honorarium given to temporary foreign workers. Which is affecting the daily life of more than 70 thousand students studying abroad. Along with this, the cost of going to Canada was till now an average of 22-23 lakh rupees but now it has reached an average of 37 lakh rupees, the climb to Canada can be said to be difficult for many Gujarati parents and children.

The population of Canadian vultures living in Gujarat has fallen by a massive 35 per cent due to poor job prospects and uncertainty about high fees and future benefits. However, some are planning to stay in Canada and go to the US. Thus five thousand Indians who used Canada as a donkey route are being sent back from the Canadian border.

This is the first time that Canada visas of many students are being rejected. A student who applied for Canada two weeks ago was rejected saying that I applied because of my friends. But now the situation seems to be getting worse. My family spent Rs 20 lakhs. In which I showed readiness to pay Rs 12 lakhs for compulsory guarantee investment certificate and Rs 11 lakhs for college fees and submitted it. Still got rejected.

Even after rejection, colleges there deduct ten to twelve percent. A student from Ambawadi says that recently when he got a rejection, ten percent of his 18 lakh fee i.e. 2.5 lakh rupees was deducted and the fee money was refunded within fifteen days. Since our family is from the middle class, parents collected this money with great difficulty and prepared my file, in which I got a rejection. Regarding this, a recognized visa consultant from Ahmedabad says that the current situation in Canada is very different. There was a time when we used to have a huge crowd of students here.

We were supposed to offer placements for Canada but there has been a marginal drop of 35 per cent due to continuous rejections. As a result, 35 per cent of students appearing for IELTS are also getting a 50 per cent cut in IELTS coaching in other countries. The IELTS fee is Rs 17,000. With many students re-enrolling at a lower level, the coaching fee and exam fee also goes up to Rs 50,000 to Rs 10,000, making it costly for students and parents to travel abroad.
