Indian youths are not only struggling to get jobs in their home country but also in Canada. A video has gone viral on social media showing a long queue of Indian and other foreign students waiting in front of Tim Horton’s outlet in Canada.
A user on Instagram posted a video of students standing in a long queue at the job fair at Time Horton’s outlet. Nishant, a student in Canada, said that he has been hunting for a job for a month. Even though he had reached the site thirty minutes earlier, he saw a long queue of applicants already there. “More than 10 students had already shown up for the job fair. Looking at the long line, even the white people nearby were shocked thinking what the hell is happening here,” he said.

Several Indian students staying around the Greater Toronto area have earlier echoed similar sentiments. The high cost of living in and around Toronto and other Canadian cities is also hurting students forcing them to live in cramped rooms to save on rents and other utilities.
