<p>But here is some context: Currently, due to the sudden change in the immigration policies of the Justin Trudeau government, many Indians including students cannot work in full-time jobs.

<p>As the cost of living and boarding in Canada skyrockets, the Indians - many of them fearing deportation due to arbitrary policy changes- are desperately looking for jobs.

There may even be a possibility that these students are underpaid, which makes the employers hire them more, though evidence of this is only anecdotal.</p>
