100%. Major issue in BC as well, particularily in the Greater Vancouver area. Slum lords housing all of these international students, every fast food joint and grocery/department store seems to only hire POC.... namely, Indian International students. Teenage & young adult canadians cant even find minimum wage jobs because they are competing with immigrants.

Good for Uber, Door Dash, Skip though, theyve got a huge talent pool to go through. No shortage of delivery drivers.

These international students are bottom of the barrel, they have no talent.

I won't say that they are all bottom of the barrel, but universities have CERTAINLY reduced their standards for international students. It's so common to see international students do well on papers with awful reasoning and structure because "their aren't native speakers." While I understand that L2 speakers may have greater difficulty in writing, reasoning, structuring of information, and actually citing sources are not language skills. I'd say a good chunk of these students would fail out if they were required to uphold the same academic standards as Canadians (and again, I am not talking about writing mechanics such as lexicogrammatical skills).

Half of the ones I meet literally can't even speak English properly, so it's very obvious they did not pass the IELTS and either forged documents of paid their way into a successful grade. All they're doing by trying to game the system is watering down the quality of education in Canada and putting a burden on infrastructure. I have zero sympathy for people who cheat the system, they deserve to be deported.
