It's just not the tension between India and Canada, Indian students in Canada are coping with yet another significant challenge which is lack of work opportunities.

India was the greatest source country for new foreign students entering Canada in 2022, with an astounding 226,450 Indian students coming to the country to pursue higher education.

According to sources, the total number of international students in Canada, including higher education, stands at 807,750, with 551,405 receiving study permits in Canada last year. Notably, India holds the highest number of study permit holders in Canada for 2022, with 226,450 students.

Beyond the diplomatic disagreement, Indian students' worries are mounting about their future prospects. The lack of career chances in Canada once students finish their degrees is the current urgent issue. A student from the Greater Toronto.

A student from the Greater Toronto Area named Harwinder (name changed for privacy)as reported by techgig, effectively sums up this conundrum when he says, "I am not thinking much about the India-Canada split. Future concerns are more important to me. There is a severe lack of jobs in this area, so I'm concerned about finding work when my studies are through.

This sentiment resonates among Indian students in the Greater Toronto area, with many expressing anxiety about the prospect of finding work upon graduation. Mayank, pursuing a health services course, shares his apprehension, stating that while he and his friends haven't faced immediate challenges related to the diplomatic standoff, their foremost concern revolves around job prospects post-graduation. He notes instances of Indian students with medical degrees resorting to cab driving and working in stores and restaurants due to the difficulty in finding decent-paying jobs.

Adding to their woes is the high cost of living in Canadian cities, compelling students to live in cramped accommodations to save on rent and other expenses.

Their original hopes of completing their education in Canada and securing well-paying jobs to support their families back in India are being overshadowed by the stark reality of limited job opportunities and financial struggles.
