Turmoil amid the cost of living skyrocketting and it becoming more difficult for newcomers to find work
When Gobindbir Singh describes the stress international students are under, he remembers a young man who called in tears.
These challenges have become more noticeable as the number of international students in the country has jumped in recent years. Meanwhile, more stories are surfacing of international students living in substandard housing and relying on food banks. Thushara Rodrigo, Sri Lanka’s consul general in Toronto, recently issued a warning to parents to stay informed about how their children are doing, after a 19-year-old Sri Lankan student was charged with killing six people, including four children, in Ottawa last week.
The problem, he said, is the image painted by educational consultants hired to recruit and match students for schools in Canada. Narinder Singh said he’s noticed a disturbing trend: his Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C., has sent the bodies of 30 students back to India since 2021, and cremated around 15 others.
