International Youth Canada Organized Chai with CGI
Student leaders talked about several essential problems and difficulties foreign students face in Canada.
On January 24 in Toronto, International Youth Canada (IYC) hosted a special “Chai with CG” event. 22 student leaders from Ontario colleges and universities, educators, and community members attended the event.
Student leaders talked about several essential problems and difficulties foreign students face in Canada.
Among them were the challenges of renting an apartment, safety, and security when using public transportation, insecure employment, exploitation, racial profiling, and the need for additional assistance from Canadian authorities. Student leaders expressed to the Consul General their worries that many overseas students are misled by some dubious organizations up until they board flights in India, and that once they arrive in Canada, things are frequently very different.
Odd work schedules and traditional shifts can make it harder for students to concentrate on their academic work or add more stress to newly arrived immigrants’ already demanding lives in Canada.
