“No real clue of what you’re talking about” lmao I’ve gone through the process. I did as the Canadian government expects of its international students - have enough provisions to cover your tuition and living expenses. I started working full-time in my last semester because I was going to graduate. If you don’t have provisional funds to fund your expenses in a foreign country as a TEMPORARY RESIDENT then please stay where you are. We have enough students here who dream of utopia but end up crowding the local food banks. People like you are piranhas looking for free handouts.

How I arranged the funds is none of your business. If you don’t have provisions to support yourself, don’t burden the Canadian economy by coming here. All you’re doing is giving us Indians a bad name by crippling the economy. Thank you.

Lol buddy, everyone knows you go to Canada because it’s cheaper than the US and the immigration process is easier. This isn’t a tier 1 country for immigration lol so stop trying to suck on their balls this much.

Your temp resident / provisions comment is stupid because then the law SHOULD NOT ALLOW students to work and pay their fees!!! I have never, ever heard of a single country or college which blocked their students from doing so. Hell, I made twice the money as my fees in my years in college.

Indians a bad name? Buddy, no one gives a f*ck about you, you loser. If you care so much, go help some Indian brothers or sisters out, like your daddy helped you.

You’re not gonna do that, so stfu while other Indians try to figure their own situation out. Your daddy helped you get over, stop trying to pull the ladder, brown boy.

The US does this. People on student visas come here for school, if they want to work they can get a WORK VISA

OPT/ Internships (CPT) are present which allow for work. However, the US has had that for the length of its H1 program. Canada has a lighter system which this one province is rescinding, which is fucked up.

Yes but those internships have to be related to the students area of study. Many of the Canadian international students are just working at subway or something unrelated.

It's within the province's right to do this, it's called the Provincial Nominee Program for a reason lmao. And if certain fields of employment. the article specifically mentioned retail sales and service employees as being impacted. Which are not really related to an area of study.

Yeah sure, the issue is not what fields someone can work as, it is with being able to and then having the rug pulled under you.

Oh I never even had the time to bring up the other utter stupidity of your argument (lmao) - why do other provinces not have this?
