Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Verma has issued a serious warning to parents contemplating sending their children to Canada for education. He highlighted the challenging living conditions and limited job prospects that many Indian students face upon arrival. Verma's remarks come in light of the growing concerns regarding the disparity between the perceived opportunities in Canada and the stark realities that students encounter.

Verma noted that students from affluent Indian families often find themselves sharing cramped accommodations, sometimes with as many as eight individuals in a single room. To cope with rising living costs, these students are compelled to take on low-paying jobs, such as working in retail or driving cabs, despite having strong qualifications. This situation raises significant questions about the true value of pursuing education abroad.

His cautionary message serves as a reality check for parents who may be lured by the idea of better educational prospects in Canada. The High Commissioner's statements reflect a broader concern about the increasing financial burdens and challenges faced by international students, particularly those coming from India.

As the landscape for Indian students in Canada shifts, it is essential for families to weigh their options carefully. After all, sending your child abroad should not feel like a game of "Will they survive?"—because let's face it, nobody wants to hear their kid say, "I thought I was going to study, not share a room with eight other people!"
