@cbcnews: This fifth-year international student at the University of Calgary has already spent $107,000 on tuition — and says he still owes $12,000 more. At times, he’s skipped meals to save for it, but he still isn't prepared to give up on the long road to permanent residency in Canada. “That money took my family and me a lot of time to save,” he said. “It will all go to waste if I’ve to go back.” #InternationalStudent #Canada #Immigration #Newcomers #CBC #CBCNews#CBCNews

At least the government is giving immigrants 80k a year to survive. Seniors don't get this to survive and they paid taxes for 40 years.

I would have a really hard time experiencing culture shock while also studying in university and trying to support myself. Absolutely incredible tenacity from international students! ❤️
