At least five Indian students die every month in Canada

Many students from India arrive in Canada with a heavy burden of loans on their parents without being aware of the challenges they may have in Canada.

Despite their best efforts, they often run into financial problems. Mental challenges increase to the extent that it seems easier for them to end their lives.

In the GTA alone, about five bodies of Indian students are cremated every month.

This year, 156,171 study permits were issued to students from India, which is double the number for last year. Most of the students succeed in fighting the challenges, but a few unfortunate ones can never go back to join their families.

Chinese woman’s father with hepatitis was refused immigration through family reunification

Chinese woman in Toronto applied for family reunification immigration for her father but unexpectedly, her father was diagnosed with hepatitis.

The applicant was unable to forfeit public health care services at her own expense, so her application was rejected. She appealed to the rejection, the court rejected her appeal after in-depth consideration as the father had family support in China, and he could get good medical care there.

Therefore, there was no reason to give humanitarian and compassionate help to the father.

New immigrants to Canada are dissatisfied with the housing costs

According to newly released data, many new immigrants in Canada are facing housing problems, and nearly 40% of new immigrants are completely dissatisfied with their housing.

Many people have the inherent impression that new immigrants will come to Canada with a lot of money to buy a house, but this is not the case.

With so many new immigrants with core housing needs, they are naturally dissatisfied with the Canadian housing market.

Statistics Canada found that new immigrants and minorities have very low satisfaction with their housing. In 2018, only 63% of new immigrants said they were satisfied.
