50,000 foreign students no-shows in 2024, including 20,000 Indian Canada: 50,000 foreign students no-shows in 2024, including 20,000 Indian This figure, accounting for 6.9% of all international students tracked by IRCC, has raised concerns about the effectiveness of Canada's compliance system for international students Canada Canada | Bloomberg Surbhi Gloria SinghNew Delhi 4 min read Last Updated : Jan 17 2025 | 2:54 PM IST Connect with us Facebook Icon LinkedIN Icon Nearly 50,000 international students, issued study permits for higher education in Canada, were reported as “no-shows” by colleges and universities, according to the Canadian government data from spring 2024 under the International Student Compliance Regime. Among them, 20,000 were Indian students. This figure, accounting for 6.9% of all international students tracked by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), has raised concerns about the effectiveness of Canada’s compliance system for international students.

An additional 23,514 students—3.3% of the total—had their statuses unreported. The International Student Compliance Regime, introduced in 2014, requires designated learning institutions to report twice annually on whether international students are actively enrolled and attending classes. Canada tightens rules In November 2023, Immigration Minister Marc Miller introduced stricter rules, including suspending non-compliant institutions for up to a year. IRCC has also strengthened monitoring measures to identify non-compliant students and enforce reporting requirements. “Canada is aware of increased exploitation of temporary resident visas, including student permits. This has escalated due to organised smuggling networks and global migration crises,” said Renée LeBlanc Proctor, spokesperson for Minister Miller. In November 2023, Indian students, Canada’s largest group of international learners, received emails requesting resubmission of study permits, visas, and educational records. The notifications, which reportedly include students with valid visas for up to two more years, caused concern among students. In response to a query from Business Standard, IRCC clarified that these requests are part of a standard procedure and not a new practice. “Since 2015, the Canadian government has required most post-secondary designated learning institutions to report twice-yearly on the enrolment status of their international students through the international student compliance regime,” said IRCC. It further explained that regular compliance activities involve only designated learning institutions, not students directly. However, in some cases, students may be asked to provide documentation to confirm their enrolment status, such as current or past transcripts. When asked about the focus on Indian students, IRCC said, “Since India is the top source of international students in Canada, it is reasonably likely that a higher number were sent to Indian nationals.” India remains the largest source of international students in Canada, with 427,000 Indian students enrolled in Canadian institutions as of August 2024. In the same month, IRCC revealed that over 10,000 fake student acceptance letters were discovered during reviews of 500,000 documents. Reports indicated that 80% of these fraudulent documents were linked to students from Gujarat and Punjab. Jenny Kwan, an immigration critic for Canada’s New Democratic Party, described the findings as “extremely alarming,”. She said, “Canada has a responsibility to ensure that international students who have been defrauded are protected.” Concerns about some institutions’ verification practices have also been raised. Darshan Maharaja, a Canada-based immigration analyst, commented, “The many malpractices, including outright corruption, have become deeply entrenched in the immigration system. Comprehensive reforms are needed across the system.” https://www.business-standard.com/amp/finance/personal-finance/canada-tightens-family-work-permit-rules-key-changes-for-students-workers-125011700509_1.html?isa=yes |
adamusuleiman1:Baseless politics engineered by the weak Wike Hired crowd |
Often, we don’t realize the power of words and how they reflect our emotional state. It’s particularly true for unhappy people who, without their knowledge, frequently use certain phrases that just fuel their dissatisfaction. According to psychology, these phrases reveal a lot about their inner turmoil and state of unhappiness. But what exactly are these phrases? Let’s get started. 1) “I can’t” A common phrase that psychology points out is frequently used by unhappy people is “I can’t”. This phrase signifies a mindset of self-doubt and limitation. It’s a powerful statement that can keep individuals trapped in their current circumstances, preventing them from seeing potential opportunities and solutions. “I can’t” is often a knee-jerk reaction to challenges or unfamiliar situations. But what it does is it imposes a self-fulfilling prophecy. By constantly saying “I can’t”, you condition your mind to believe that you’re incapable, which in turn influences your actions and decisions. Recognizing the use of this phrase can be the first step towards breaking free from its self-imposed limitations. By shifting our language from “I can’t” to “How can I?”, we open ourselves up to possibilities and foster a more positive outlook on life. 2) “I’m always unlucky” Another phrase that psychology identifies as a common refrain among unhappy individuals is “I’m always unlucky”. I personally remember a time in my life when this was my go-to phrase. If I had a bad day at work, missed a bus, or even spilled my coffee, I’d immediately think, “I’m always unlucky”. It was as though I had branded myself as a perpetual victim of bad luck. But what I didn’t realize then was that by frequently using this phrase, I was cementing a negative narrative about my life. I was focusing on the unfortunate events and completely overlooking the good ones. This mindset made me anticipate bad outcomes, which surprisingly often led to their manifestation. It was only when I consciously decided to stop using this phrase and instead concentrate on the positive aspects of my life did I notice a significant shift in my luck or rather my perception of it. It’s crucial to understand that we all experience ups and downs. By focusing on the positive and learning from the negative, we can break away from the “I’m always unlucky” mindset and cultivate a more balanced and happier outlook. 3) “It’s not fair” One phrase unhappy people often use is “It’s not fair”. This statement reflects a sense of unjust treatment and a lack of control over life circumstances. In psychology, this is linked to the concept of the ‘just-world hypothesis’, a cognitive bias where people believe the world should be fair, and therefore, good actions should result in rewards and bad actions in punishments. However, life doesn’t always follow this rule. When people continually say “It’s not fair”, they’re stuck focusing on the imbalance, which can lead to feelings of resentment and unhappiness. Accepting that life is not inherently fair can actually help us navigate through challenges with more resilience and less bitterness. It allows us to focus on what we can control and let go of what we cannot. 4) “I should have” The phrase “I should have” is another common phrase among those who are unhappy. It’s a reflection of regret and guilt over past actions or decisions. When we’re constantly dwelling on the past and what we could have done differently, it prevents us from moving forward and focusing on the present moment. Regret is a natural emotion, but when it turns into a repetitive narrative of “I should have”, it can keep us stuck in a cycle of unhappiness. It’s important to learn from past mistakes, but equally crucial to forgive ourselves and use these lessons to grow and improve. It’s not the mistakes that define us, but how we choose to respond and learn from them. 5) “No one understands me” “Nobody understands me” is a phrase that echoes with loneliness and a deep longing for connection. People who regularly use this phrase often feel misunderstood, unheard, or isolated. Related Stories from Global English Editing If you want more high-character people in your life as you get older, say goodbye to these behaviors People who live comfortably despite not being rich usually display these subtle habits 8 things you don’t realize you’re doing because you had an unhappy childhood, says a psychologist Feeling understood is a fundamental human need. We all want our feelings, thoughts, and experiences to be acknowledged, validated, and empathized with. When we feel disconnected or unheard, it can lead to feelings of unhappiness. However, it’s important to remember that everyone is trying to navigate their own complexities and challenges in life. Instead of assuming that no one understands us, opening lines of communication, expressing our feelings and actively seeking understanding can help foster stronger connections. You are not alone. Reach out, share your thoughts and feelings. You’d be surprised at how many people are willing to listen, understand, and empathize. After all, we’re all in this journey together. 6) “I’m fine” “I’m fine” is a phrase we all use, often as a mask to hide our true feelings. On the surface, it’s a simple response to the question “How are you?”. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll find it’s often a shield we put up when we’re anything but fine. During a particularly tough period of my life, “I’m fine” became my automatic response. I’d use it to avoid uncomfortable conversations, to keep people at a safe distance from my pain. But the more I used it, the more isolated I felt. This phrase can be particularly damaging when used consistently because it keeps us from seeking help and expressing our emotions. It’s okay to not be okay. And it’s okay to express that. Connecting with others, opening up about our struggles, and seeking support can make all the difference in our journey towards happiness and mental wellness. 7) “Why does this always happen to me?” The phrase “Why does this always happen to me?” is an indicator of a victim mentality. This mindset is characterized by the belief that life happens to us, as opposed to us having an active role in shaping our experiences. This phrase perpetuates a cycle of negativity and unhappiness as it reinforces the idea that we are powerless over life’s circumstances. It denies the agency we have in responding to life’s challenges and creating change. Breaking free from this mindset involves shifting our perspective from feeling like a victim to taking control over our actions and reactions. Instead of asking “Why does this always happen to me?”, ask “What can I learn from this?”, or “How can I handle this better next time?” It’s about recognizing our ability to influence our life circumstances and cultivating a sense of empowerment. “I’m not good enough”Perhaps one of the most damaging phrases that unhappy people regularly use is “I’m not good enough”. This phrase is a reflection of low self-esteem and a lack of self-love. When we internalize this belief, it impacts every aspect of our lives – our relationships, our career, our dreams and our very sense of self. It keeps us from realizing our full potential and from experiencing genuine happiness. But here’s the truth: You ARE good enough. Just as you are. With all your strengths, your flaws, your triumphs, and your failures. You are worthy of love, success, and happiness. And the first step towards believing this is to stop telling yourself otherwise. Your words have power. Use them to build yourself up, not tear yourself down. Words as mirrors The language we use is more than just a means of communication. It’s a mirror reflecting our inner emotional landscape, and sometimes, it uncovers truths we might be unconsciously hiding from ourselves. If we find ourselves frequently using phrases like “I can’t”, “I’m not good enough” or “Why does this always happen to me?”, it might be time to pause and reflect. Are these words truly reflective of our reality, or are they perpetuating a cycle of negativity and unhappiness? Psychologists have long asserted the power of self-talk. The narratives we tell ourselves shape our perceptions and experiences. If our internal dialogue is steeped in negativity, our outlook on life follows suit. Realizing the impact of these phrases is the first step towards transformation. By consciously shifting our language from self-deprecating to self-affirming, from victimhood to empowerment, we can change the narrative. Remember, your words hold power. They can either chain you to unhappiness or be the key that sets you free. The choice is yours. Did you like my article?
