Why would he go to a new country to go to school BEFORE he was sure he had funding?

Maybe he can turn to crowd funding now that you covered his story. That's the goal here is it not. Bleed the hearts then the wallets?

So why would an international student get funding? They shouldn’t. Canadian students should. He should’ve been sent home if he didn’t have the funds to cover his schooling. The government needs to stop the way they handle student visas. It’s not a right.

Why are publicly funded universities providing aid to foreign students?

So how was an international student even at university without prearranged funding?

Glad he was successful but why would Canada fund his studies, shouldn't we fund studies of canadian kids? Sorry but Taxpayers $$ for Canadians first

Sorry, but Welcome to Chinada!

Nothing to do with Canada.

An incredible story - thank you for sharing.

Why are you studying abroad if you can’t afford it?

The poverty that half the country is experiencing under the current pedophile PM? That kind?

Low key thought a baby was sleeping on that shelf

When studying abroad, no funding meant you don’t stay. This is standard around the world. Would Canadian students be extended some kind of grace? No. Studying abroad isn’t a right. I fear we bring in so many int’l students and force them into poverty. Why? It’s exploitative.

Can you imagine if we used the $1.5 billions in people like him rather PMJT propagandists...

He reads kids books!?
