International students are in 'crisis.' Governments need to take responsibility: Peel charities

According to "Peel" charitable organizations, with the increase in the cost of living and the decrease in government support, international students in Canada are facing increasing difficulties and are in a crisis situation. These organizations want governments to do more to support international students.

Reasons for the crisis:

Rising cost of living: High inflation has increased the cost of housing, food and other essential items for international students.
Reduced government support: Some support programs for international students have been reduced or completely eliminated.
Student Work Problems: Student work restrictions can limit students' income and make it more difficult for them to meet living expenses.
Consequences of the crisis:

Food security: Many international students face food insecurity and are unable to provide enough food for themselves.
Housing problems: High housing costs have forced some students to share substandard accommodation or even become homeless.
Mental health: Stress caused by financial worries and life problems can affect the mental health of international students.
Request for action:

"Peel" charity organizations ask governments to:
Allocate more financial aid to international students.
Expand existing support programs and welfare services.
Reform student work laws to provide more opportunities for international students to earn money.
Reduce the cost of education.
Final word:

International students play an important role in Canadian communities and should not be left alone in this crisis. By supporting these students more, we can ensure that they can benefit from their education and continue their lives in Canada.
