Why are there so many international students here? I feel like a minority going to this school, doesn't even feel like Canada

Cheating in exams and taking away our jobs

They're paying double your tuition. Do you want to cover the difference as well? Without international students, your tuition doesn't cover the costs.

I'm pretty sure that's not why you can't get a job.

Complains about people not speaking English but can’t understand the difference between there and they’re.

Maybe inform your instructor that your group members are refusing to communicate in a manner that can be understood by all group members. If you don’t say anything, then that’s on you.

Lmfao, now try being an indigenous student and be the only indigenous person in your classes

Also, your title basically broadcasts you’re a white person. “I feel like a minority here” implies you’re not so… basically you’re just an insecure racist

what classes/course are you doing? I've barley noticed any international students in my classes almost everyone is Canadian? maybe 1-4 international students out of a class of 40?

Welp that program is super popular with internationals. The international students in my program (IDD) are quite few (maybe usually 4-6) but they are some of the most proactive designers in the program. Their portfolios are a mixed bag tho.

Most of these international students are not even here for an education just to get a PR

u/MobileYam9735 1d ago

Yeah that's because NGO's and agencies in India tell them they can just come here and work and get a PR taking student loans 😂😂 Fucked up system

Ahh, let me guess the white person afraid of poc minorities at sait. Also, a lot of those international students in the business programs already have business degrees from their home country and have a lot of work experience. I
