Amidst the various economic issues faced by Canadian residents, the job crisis is still roaming like ghosts of Halloween.
Many international students find it difficult to find a part-time job, at least for 25 hours a week. Since the north is slowly gliding into a harsh winter, the possibility of getting a part-time job has apparently been reduced.
Black friday and Christmas boom are the last remaining hopeful time students are expecting to find a job or else, most of them have to stay indoors or until next March till the snows melt.
Hike in prices and the inflation on the Canadian dollar is making the economy walk in blind. International students who were brought to canada with high hopes are struggling under such situations. Though the brochures elaborates about career and recruitment cells, hardly those work in most of the colleges.
Reports from many students indicates that, agencies who take up contracts from companies are the only chances to get a job by paying up a commission. But there is no authority or source to trust any agency without going all in for a trial and error level.
Some for the counter statements for this situation are to use up the GIC or show money which students have kept aside as living expenses. However, many students who have taken up 2 or more years of courses have used up a big part of it. Many of them will need to pay the second year or semester fees. With no jobs and no income, they will find it difficult to manage their expenditures.
