Advocacy, Policy Changes and the Reality

We wrap you the first season of the International Cash Cows Podcast with an insightful conversation that explores the challenges and triumphs of being an international student in today’s Canada. We are joined by Sarom Rho, a migrant and community organizer with Migrant Workers Alliance for Change.

We chat about some of the recent policy changes impacting international students in Canada, dissecting how these developments shape their educational and professional journeys. Sarom discusses the crucial role of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change in advocating for migrants' rights, emphasizing the need for a single-tier immigration system and full rights for everyone upon arrival in Canada.

The episode also delves into the real-life implications of Canada’s immigration policies as it affects international students, from overcoming exploitation and high tuition fees to navigating the complexities of obtaining permanent residency. Sarom's insights offer a valuable perspective on the intersection of migration and education, underscoring the need for equitable treatment of all newcomers to Canada, including international students.
