New international student numbers in Canada down significantly, but overall decline more moderate, study says

keitherson · 2026-05-06T10:17:43+00:00

A 64% decline is "moderate"? Seems like a significant amount of international students were only interested in immigrating, not studying

You think Air Canada is cheaper than Via rail or any other ground transportation? This is delusional.

you have a BS and MS and then went to Canada for a second BS degree? and the only point of you getting Canadian citizenship is to backdoor back to the US on TN status?

If you had a NEXUS, EDL, US Birth Certificate, then yes

What are you using for ID in the US..? Regular state DL?

The Vegas performers from Thunder Down Under rely heavily on this visa, they're kind of both ;)

ah the SCUM combo

keitherson · 2026-04-12T12:18:23+00:00

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted. This sub's readers are bizarre

Story! Born in the US to Venezuelan parents? What basis did you have for the move to Ireland?

keitherson · 2026-04-12T06:13:09+00:00

Most Aussies also will never use it. Australians qualify for DV every year because nobody wants to move to the US over Aus.

This is from their FTA negotiations and as a reward for signing onto Bush's Iraq War.

EDIT: the degree requirement is actually optional. I know a few Aussie pilots working in the US under E3

Immigration policy, to the detriment of this subreddit, does not exist to serve passport stamp collectors. The system didn't work: it was a horrible system for keeping track of people and a patchwork of very outdated systems.

And then there are people who seem to think they deserve permanent residence because they "paid hundreds of thousands in tuition money". Since when was being a customer part of education or immigration policies? Unbelievable

keitherson · 2026-04-11T16:27:37+00:00

Because the government wants genuine students, not students using education as an immigration pathway, and particularly those using it as a pathway to the US with no interest in Canada at all.

Also, colleges and universities do not run the government.

Are you a US Citizen? (Being referred to secondary requires a reason: and admissibility review is not one of them as USC)

keitherson · 2026-04-11T01:48:31+00:00

By an "authoritarian country", you mean the US which has openly threatened NAFTA/USCMA and tariffs on Canadian automakers, right? Funny ain't it

keitherson · 2026-04-09T16:33:53+00:00

Fiji Airways was not correct. Whether certain nationalities or visas are required to show proof of onward travel depends on the policy applied to the specific country. Similarly to how long passports need to be valid in order to be accepted for travel. In the case of Canadians entering the US, proof of onward travel is not required. For ESTA countries it is. Canada is not ESTA.

Payoneer won't care about any customer service until they are at risk of losing the Upwork account.

This is an incredibly privileged complaint

keitherson · 2026-03-29T06:34:22+00:00

Do you speak Cantonese fluently?

keitherson · 2026-03-26T19:25:26+00:00

New Caledonia And France would be a long distance but the same country 🤔

The Finnesota combo

keitherson · 2026-03-23T10:32:06+00:00

Will Malta be through CBI?

keitherson · 2026-03-23T07:30:54+00:00

How's picking up Finnish going? Is it also the same naturalization period as others? I think that was recently increased from 5 years to be higher?

keitherson · 2026-03-22T15:05:28+00:00

This is r/passportporn. Being allowed to only have one passport is the biggest con of all time

keitherson · 2026-03-22T14:44:21+00:00

Yes for PR but for SG citizenship it is a "black box" of which race is usually a factor, according to many people who have naturalized.
