Harry Coor shines the light on a neglected form of migration, foreign students. There are a half a million foreign students in Canada and surveys indicate that half plan to apply for citizenship. They pay about 5 times the tuition of locals so schools have huge incentive to accept them whether or not they are qualified. After graduation, their employment prospects are often disappointing.
Harry Coor gives a gritty street view of the phenomenon.

If native Canadians thought the immigration problem couldn’t get any worse, there’s a new trend in Canada’s education system to worry about.
Foreign students have become the cash cows of our colleges, universities and training centres. Coming mainly from places such as Vietnam, India, Bangladesh, China, these mostly young people are told that America is the “land of milk and honey” (Video1, Video2, Video3).
When they arrive and finish their programs, the reality is often very different, especially if they try to obtain work permits or jobs. Many students are denied work permits after graduation return home, go to another country, or sadly, end their lives. If they decide to stay in Canada, they often find their employment dreams are quickly extinguished.
Often described as “cash cows” by the top brass of the education industry, these students are lured from their largely destitute home countries, with lofty promises of a job in Canada. They often rent rooms in places like Windsor, Ontario, where the cost of living is the cheapest. Indeed, Windsor’s colleges, universities, training centres, immigration and city officials, have been welcoming these “cash cows” with open arms. Foreign students often pay 4 to 7 times more tuition than domestic students.
Canadian institutions have established recruitment offices in places like India. Educational officials claim Canadians simply aren’t producing enough children to fill the seats. They are partially right, but native-born citizens are not having children because of the increasing cost of living.
Places like Windsor Ont. are currently experiencing a major housing crisis, after foreign investors buy homes and turn them into rooming houses.
Students often share rooms and live as frugally as possible, often in slum-like conditions by absentee landlords.
GIFT HORSE
Many of these international students are coming from their home countries with faked credentials, provided by call centres in their countries. Educational institutions are left largely helpless when trying to verify these diplomas, for risk of being dragged into courts for “human rights complaints” and potential damages ranging in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Many of these students receive a temporary work permit along with their school visa. They work in low-paid, precarious positions including agriculture, service-sector, and try to attend school when they are not working. Students have been denied work permits, and some have committed suicide.
Those from Confucian-based cultural backgrounds are trained not to ask for help or admit mistakes. This is considered cowardly. Thus, they attempt to complete assignments at the last minute or ask for extensions. Content is “dumbed down” to accommodate the whole class.
What does this spell for the quality and reputation of the diploma being awarded to students, and the potential employers to hire them? Now we can guess why many employers make the hiring process much more lengthy and difficult: have rounds of interviews: to try to verify the skills being claimed by applicants.
