"At 91, Canada represented more than one fifth of the total number of deaths abroad in that period. This was followed by the U.K. at 48 deaths, Russia at 40, the U.S. at 36 and Australia at 35."

91 deaths is very high compared to other countries like the U.K., U.S. and Australia, It's even higher than Russia.

But what is the denominator? As the poster above pointed out.

Well, more than 13,000 students committed suicide in India, in 2021. Apparently. Family problems, relationship related issues, failing exams, mental health issues were some primary causes. Those were just suicides by the way.

In Canada, if you look in the 20-34 age group, the suicide rate is approx. 21.4 deaths/100,000. Extrapolating that for 500,000 - > 100. Those are just suicides. So I think even the Canadian demographic would have similar numbers.

Bottomline - nothing much to write home about, as of now, IMO.
I think this is the Indian government who is at odds with that of Canada, trying to make Canada look like a threatening place for Indians, as they have already been doing.

Aside from the high profile murder of an Indian international student near Sherbourne station, these statistics are nothing strange. Young people, including Canadians are not immune from the Grim Reaper.

What's concerning is that the media panders to the complaints of the international students, while Canadians are living in tents and using MAID because they can't pay their rent and see no future in Canada, while billions of "international students" from Punjab are here in Canada "studying" and doing "part-time jobs" at Wally's world.

91 out of a total 567,607, according to the article. If we looked at half a million young people in Toronto or Montreal, we'd see s similar pattern.

Motorcycle accidents, drunk driving, bar fights, suicides, and random stupidity, like rooftop selfies.
The random stupidity is imported.
The guys yukkin' it up for the camera crack me up.

These stats of EI students dying in Canada are definitely not good. However, the conditions in India with the innate, entrenched boilerplate caste system , the rampant corruption, poverty, overcrowding, religious strife and overpopulation has Indian students in numbers somewhat greater than entire population of Canada and then some, clamouring to get the hell out of India and come here. And obviously, Canada needs them, desperately as they are working virtually everywhere in the GTA, and across Canada backstopping more than a few Canadian industrial sectors. A lot of inconvenient truths here I think in this marriage of convenience, with Trudeau chameleon survival politics and Poilievre blame games not withstanding.

None of those are actual reasons for students to come here.
Notice that Canadians are not moving to India, now why is that ?
The reasons that I gave are the actual reasons. High caste, wealthy Indians are not immigrating to Canada are they?
The Canadian government headhunters and scam Canadian private school recruiters targeting India are well aware of the reasons that I cited have successfully exploited them. Some of the students if they can get Canadian citizenship will eventually bring their parents as well.
Many Indians that came to Canada that are not students but highly skilled, better educated than the average Canadian, IT workers and engineers which Canada needs.

The Samanth Brahmin society of Canada is well and alive, no Dahlits allowed in spite of the Canadian Charter.

What is?

To get a good, quality education from a situated above a massage parlor, private pop-up college that is unstaffed and devoid of resources for ten times the cost of what Canadian students pay for a real education?

Thirty percent is a lot of cheese!

The 50% clawback on student visas will cripple the universities. Over these recent gravy train years, the universities have already staffed up and expanded to enjoy the gravy. Now the upcoming lean years will be painful. Remember those foreign students’ tuition is at least 3x what homegrown students pay.

Canada don't offer that...
That’s not what I see on IG! There’s sooo many remote jobs that pay over $45/hr requiring no skills, no education and no language skills. And no, I’m not talking about online sex work sites!!

Yup, there’s a sucker stepping off the boat every minute. Or is is every second?
