The clip, which has rapidly spread across social media platforms, shows thousands of eager candidates lining up for waiter and service staff positions. This situation has raised considerable concern among individuals considering studying or working in Canada.
A student mentioned, “It’s really bad; it feels like everyone is searching for a job, but no one is actually getting hired. So many of my friends are unemployed right now, and they’ve been here for 2-3 years.” This feeling of disillusionment is common, as many others echoed similar struggles in their quest for employment after moving to Canada.
Agamvir Singh, one of the students in line, shared his frustrations, saying, “I arrived around noon, and the line was enormous. We submitted our applications online and were told interviews would be conducted, but that hasn’t happened. People are just showing up. I doubt there are real job opportunities here. It’s really challenging.”
The video was posted on the social media platform X by an account called @MeghUpdates, showcasing the difficult reality that students are facing. The post was captioned, “Students leaving India for Canada with rosy dreams need serious introspection!”

The video sparked a wave of comments that echoed the concern raised by the footage. One viewer remarked, “This is a tough wake-up call for those who believe Canada is a paradise,” while another noted, “It’s sad to witness so many students in such challenging situations.” A third commenter suggested, “Become a waiter or start making cringy rap videos” Others showed sympathy, with one person saying, “It’s heartbreaking to see so many hopeful people struggling to find jobs.”
