Won't someone please think of the slumlords: Number of Indian students seeking Canadian visa drops due to restrictions.
š° ArticleI read it was capped at 15,000 people, still a sh*t policy though.
I didn't hear that, can you link where you read it?
If I haven't misread it, looks like it's capped at 5500 per year until 2026, therefore total 15,500, as per the links below:
"As part of the 2024ā2026 Immigration Levels Plan, Canada will admit over 15,000 caregivers as permanent residents."
https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=961
"Is there a limit on the number of caregiver applications you accept under the pilots? Yes. We only process up to 5,500 applications each year under the caregiver pilots"
I really hope they stick to those numbers.
We have way, way too many people coming in as it is.
I also hope more than anything if the actual healthcare industries that onboard them arenāt happy with this performance there is a clause to end their visa entirely and send them home.
Iām hearing some serious horror stories about the quality of applicants. This is an industry where literal lives are at stake.
Oh, I suspect a lot of these "caregivers" are going to meet the job offer qualification by having a buddy post a job for live-in caregiver or something. I'm betting the majority will not be employed in public healthcare.
Happens all the time and has been happening for years. All the person in Canada has to do is register with the CRA for a payroll account, pay monthly source deductions on a bogus salary and issue a T4 to the foreign ācare giverā.
Then the recipient of the T4 files their tax return on that bogus salary and it gets them PR after 2 years. Immigration gives zero fucks about doing any other formal checks into it.
Two years of continuous employment as a ālive-in nannyā will do it. This PR scam is much, much cheaper than the student visa scam.
Just who I want looking after my parents, someone who barely speaks English and comes from a place where elder abuse and general violence is more common.
You need to read into it whenever the government announces one of these programs, because it's about currying the immigrant vote without actually providing a realistic pathway for their parents to come here.
It's like how the government likes to use lottery tactics for PRs. Sure, the program exists and if you qualify you can enter, but at the end of the day you're more likely to become a millionaire off playing the VLTs than you are with the immigration carrot the government is dangling in front of your nose.
The government wants the immigrant vote. They don't want people who they won't be able to tax to death.
It's a mirage and a false hope for the majority of immigrants; it does sway their vote though.
The slumlords will just charge more
Slumlord here, I've already moved onto renting to caregivers. This is old news.
Doesn't change much for the slumlords we have way more people than we need as is.
Imagine if there was MANDATORY RESIDENTIAL RENTAL LICENSING throughout each province?
Imagine that.
Good. Bye bye.
Pay taxes for 50 years to sit beside a women in hospital who needs two hip replacements who came here last week only for the summer too. Haha let's go canada !

Way too little, way too late. Indians just want to angrily clamp on the gov teat and scream racism while doing it.
The AI figured this out. Ban landlords, full stop make it impossible for individuals to rent out single dwelling units, condos etc. aka. if you don't own the entire building you can't rent it out. Problem solved.
However, how do we postulate educational facilities will remain open if they are now unable to enroll foreign students, and in kind Ford hasn't rectified nor reversed the funding cuts to the same education facilities?
GOOD
thank God about time.
Good.
Caregivers = taking care of heffiing up your order at Timmy's ..
Yeah the number of students might drop but now they're handing out "caregiver" PR like candy so the actual immigration numbers from India are not going to drop at all. Slumlords will continue to rake it in.
