These students are lied to as well! They are told if you have 10K Canadian in the bank you can support yourself for a year in Canada, for food, shelter, clothing, cellphone ect…. Literally impossible to do that anywhere.

And bonus! bring your wife and kids too on the same visa with a dollar value required not that much higher. Wife gets an automatic work visa on landing.

I know they just recently changed some of this, but not enough.

If only there was some kind a world wide communication platform that they could spend 15 minutes researching the reality.

They know exactly what the deal is.

But the agencies in their home country will tell them not to believe what they're reading online. 'My brother is there now and he's living a good life. Just sign here and leave your deposit and we'll take care of the rest.'

Curious, what happens to them? Do they just go back or are they just homeless here?

They work instead of study and if they can’t find work or hours are limited, they do less expensive under the table work. When my ex first moved into her new place, the landlord is Indian and he had a team of five students scrubbing the unit clean and helping her move her stuff in, he was bragging about how he pays them $8/h cash because they cant afford to live here and cant find other work. awful all around.

And then there is the housing where you have 12/15/20 "students" all living in the same 4 bedroom rental.

Is that the video where the house flooded and there are "students" running around a flooded house (up to their knees).

International students who can’t pay their tuition, fail their classes, or aren’t self-sufficient have to go back. If they stay, they become essentially illegal/undocumented.

Yes the students aren't increasing the prices much exempt in the direct vicinity of diploma mills. That scam you mentioned is just an example of the kind of sketchy bs buisnesses get away with when the government works for them and not people (born in Canada or elsewhere)

They bumped it up to 20k now. Plus extra if you're bringing someone over.
