Episode 22: When Canada Isn't That Into You

Universities are losing money. Some are closing. With IRCC rolling the dice in their cuts to international students, the impact has only just begun. Because Hostion and I came to Canada as international students, we feel the weight of this topic deeply  and that's why we have to talk about it. Join us as we discuss how these 'knee-jerk' reactions to international students are causing real economic, diplomatic and humane consequences. We understand the need to address current issues - but if we're honest, these shortsighted policies are disrupting and harming real people. Not only that, but immigrants and international students are the rebuttal, the national answer and the global power to expand into markets worldwide instead of relying on our southern neighbour. International students are a part of Canada's ecosystem - when one tree is cut down, the whole forest and all the creatures feel it. Join us for a real and personal episode which underscores the invaluable contributions of international students to Canada's society and economy.
