Seriously!! Nobody should have preference over housing other than Canadians! Everybody else can wait in line!!

Big Surprise! Canadians alway come last to Foreogn students, Immigranst, Illegal or Otherwise and Fake Refugees! Had enough of this shit yet? I have!

The hell you say! If the international students can't afford to live here, there is no way Canadian taxpayers should for pay for their Food, accommodation and medical expenses!

These really crazy ideas stem from having a bloated bureaucracy. Bear with me. The feds hired a bunch of people who really have nothing to do. So, they have to make up stuff. Then the supervisors and directors who have even less to do, start a project so they can claim to have done something so they can get a better paying position. So, get rid of a 100,000 or so federal public employees and the rest should be too busy to think up stupid stuff.

I did my own study and I recommend that universities and other schools that invite international students MUST provide residences and cafeteria meals for ALL foreign students that they accept. It can be part of their fee structure and can ensure that these students don't need to work to cover living expenses.

How about putting Canadian students first in all areas of study where there are student quotas. I am thinking programs in medical, dental, engineering etc. if there are not enough Canadian applicants for a program then allow foreign students. Unlike many other nations most universities in Canada are subsidized by Canadian taxes.

Yup, fund another study, using more bureaucrats, only to find that migrants should be given more consideration than our Canadian students. 😏

How do these people get out of grade school?

I wonder this same thing about all university students in this country whether there are native or foreign. Then they become professors and lecturers in these halls of idiotic ideologies

Mike Robinson's avatar

The simple solution to this demand is to stop all foreign students from studying in Canada. Stay home!

It seems like, from the name of the author, she is Asian and where do a good portion of pur international students come from? And she’s in the diversity category? No conflict here.

She could of been born here a be a third generation Asian. My father came from the former Yugoslavia. I am born here. Immigration and international students are not the problem. Deciding us is a technique the liberals are using to cause hate and fear. The existing government is the problem. The laws, them abusing our once good Immigration system and international student acceptance. Canadian's should always come first. Until homes and our infrastructure is fixed it needs to stop. When our own our housed and have jobs doctors and opportunities then start these programs again. I beleive the conservatives have the right plan. Ilegal immagrants need to go, those that commit crimes as well. International students and immagrants have helped our country in the past. Now they are being used and empowered to gain votes by the Liberals. Carney and his band of criminals need to go!

You are correct, of course. However we all know how DEI has affected our universities and then on to Canada. And continues to do so.

Nica's avatar

Yes, i agree. The DEI nonsense needs to stop. I want Pierre Povierer as our PM I feel him and his party are the right team to lead Canada into a better balance. The DEI and rebates for hiring immigrants should be stopped. Canadian born people should get the job first not immigrants. Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons disgust me!

Wouldn't UofT make the most money from foreign students? I see no conflict of interest here, nosiree, no conflict of interest at all.

Christine Johnston's avatar

So it's more important that U of T make money than Canadians are properly housed before people coming here from other countries!?

I guess you didn’t spot the tongue in his cheek.

This is totally insane. Where is the common sense? Wake up Canada

I worked 2 jobs during the summer before entering University and continued that for 5 years. I also had a job while attending University. I put myself through school by hard work. It took me 16 years to pay off my student loans. Now, these students want a handout. No. If they cannot afford to live here, (I realize how expensive everything in Canada is), they need to find somewhere else to be educated. The taxpayers are done picking up the bill for everything.

Just stop them from coming

There are plenty of vacant bachelor and 1BR units in Toronto.

I guess that we have a great line of credit so we can hire “ ethnics” to churn out this word salad meaning nothing.
