A video showing a large group of Indian students lining up for jobs at a restaurant in Brampton, Canada has sparked significant concern about the employment situation for international students in the country. The footage, widely circulated on social media, depicts around 3,000 students, reportedly from India, queuing outside the Tandoori Flame restaurant in hopes of securing waiter or server positions.
This incident has ignited discussions on the job opportunities, or lack thereof, available to students who come to Canada with high hopes of gaining international work experience. The long lines outside the restaurant reflect deeper issues facing these students, including employment barriers and limited job prospects, despite Canada’s reputation as a popular destination for higher education.
