Trust me, there's no embellishment here. International student is synonymous with Bharatis over here in Canada.
apologise, but your posts is worth my reaction. I humbly ask that you not cite or tag me. Regards
Noted, please also refrain from limp-wristed Vishwaguru apologia in my threads then.
Bang on assessment.
Why have you doctored the title ? This is what the actual title is:RESERWATIONCHAAP'S NIGHTMARE: Brampton Food Banks are BANNING Bharati students from using their services
Food banks across Canada have been coping with untenable record demand for their services in recent months, and as they head into what is the busiest time of year for them, some are having to turn one particular demographic away: international students.
The Ste. Louise Outreach Centre of Peel food bank in Brampton has been around for more than 40 years, and currently serves over 2,600 families per month — a number that nearly doubles around the holidays, according to Board President Catherine Rivera.
And, while the organization continues to take on a handful of new registrants daily, it has noticed a concerning uptick in international students coming for meals in the last two months — so many that it has had to post signage explaining that it can't provide for them.
"There can be a lot of abuse with food banks," Rivera says, saying that her location verifies ID, proof of living in the catchment area that Ste. Louise covers, and bank statements to ensure applicants are truly in need.
"For certain groups like permanent residents, we can't serve you until you've been here for a year since the government standard is that you need to be able support yourself... and students, who are here temporarily, we also will not serve."
Proof of funds is indeed among the paperwork foreign nationals must submit to be eligible for PR, and also to study in Canada. The government's website outlines that to be granted a study permit, among a list of other requirements, "you must prove that you can support yourself and the family members who come with you while you are in Canada."
Ottawa dictates that would-be learners from abroad must have a minimum of $10,000 per year of study (or $833 per month) to cover their living expenses, plus more if they are bringing family with them.
Yet Ste. Louise has had numerous experiences with these students who have more than enough money for food in their bank account, but can't access it because it was borrowed from elsewhere solely for them to be able to obtain a visa.
"People come to us with $60,000 in their bank account asking for free food — when we look at this banking, we're floored," Rivera says. "They’re borrowing money then giving it back once they get here, then when they get here, they want our services."
Being a small, volunteer-run program that does not operate on government funding, Ste. Louise has identified this as a real problem that reduces the supply needed for families, seniors, people with disabilities, refugees and other groups that truly need it.
Volunteers have even considered contacting local academic institutions and the mayor to alert them to the trend, which Rivera worries could be partly the result of lenders advertising loans for students abroad to study in Canada.
Some videos on YouTube and other platforms have also even publicly encouraged international students to use food banks as a way to "get free food in Canada."
"We're getting almost 10 international students per day who say, 'you have to help me.' We can't keep it up," Rivera says.
Other food banks, such as the Knight's Table in Brampton, told blogTO that they would never implement such a policy to turn certain people away, but that they do likewise check ID, address, and income amount to ensure eligibility to register.

Evidently, Shakib isn't the only one who lacks etiquette
Wait till Israel imports a 100,000 as construction/farm labor and see what happens. Both sides will see each other much more up close and clearly. The Israelis that holiday in Goa get some idea, but bringing a large population to Israel will open both public’s eyes to each other.
But @Maula Jatt says that Sikhs don't take it lying down in Western countries?
It's amajing how I've addressed this point numerous times and pajeets are still flailing and getting butthurt over the headline. On any other day, they will zoke about how "Kaneda" is becoming a Bharati colony but it's still somehow shocking to them that Bharatis comprise the WAST majority of international students in Canada.
There's an older generation of settled Bharatis who might be this way but the new generation which is coming to Canada to learn nonsense like "hospitality" in some random Canadian college is characteristically meek and submissive to their betters. We're not even only getting Punjabis now (they're still coming, but the misconception is that everyone is from that state, which is false) - it's a hodgepodge from the more central Gangetic and Dravidian regions of BHARAT. I've had the mispleasure of having to interact with scrawny and dysgenic Reddies and Patels from the bowels of BHARAT as a result.
Why are they classified as students if they are not enrolled in any university? Do they come on student visa?
They are enrolled in community colleges which are lower-tier educational institutions. These colleges in the past rolled out decently skilled graduates, especially those in skilled in technical jobs, i.e. professional electricians, plumbers, etc. Now they roll out bullshit indian "event managers" who go straight to factory lines, gas attendants and general unskilled labor jobs.
Give back what? Canada never stopped slavery, just sugarcoated it. Before this Indian student episode (and still now), 40% of farm workers in Canada were foreign contracted slaves from Central America, working below minimum wage without any benefits. The number is 70% in US. Nobody's gonna give 2cents to anyone.
They are mostly muslims and khalistanis .RESERWATIONCHAAP'S NIGHTMARE: Brampton Food Banks are BANNING Bharati students from using their services
