      By them posting videos showing how other international students can get 'free food' that means they have no problems scamming and taking from actual needing citizens of this country. I fully agree with this food bank. They had to declare upon entry to Canada that they had the funds or scholarship to financially support themselves through the course of their education here. The goverment made sure to make this mandatory to prevent things like this.

    It is about time that signs like this were posted on every food bank door. One of my friends who vaulunteered at a Brantford Ontario food bank decided to stop when she heard that the University was in fact advising their international students to go there for food. Many of them came from wealthy parents and were in fact receiving the food. Food banks are for the needy living in Canada, and NOT for international students.

They treat these places like a restaurant and know full well (as stated in their videos) that they know it's wrong but "it's free so who cares."
    This is anathema to Canadian values and what these places are designed to do. They're meant to help those in need - not people who have no moral scruples and think they way things are in their home country is the way things are here.

    As a citizen I have two thoughts on this:
    1. Our government needs far more stringent vetting processes. Students are borrowing money from banks to show 10k then coming here with debt. They then take our jobs and young adults and kids have no way to support themselves. On top of that, because the international students faked their savings they come here and rely on our shelters and food banks to stay alive.
    I know too many Canadian homeless people struggling to be okay with the international students using our food banks.
    2. The requirement to have $10 000 in savings is no where near enough.
    Tuition is 4x more for them and will probably cost around 12-15k for a year.
    Rent for an entire year is at the very least 10k, closer to 15k if you don't share a room with 8 others.
    Food, phone and other bills are up to 5k per year.
    Why on earth are we accepting people with 0 dollars to their name when they need to have at least $30k CAD to support themselves for a year?
    I cannot believe we're still importing people into our country in mass, us citizens are up to our necks in problems and the food banks have kept them from dying, now citizens are unable to get the help they need because our politicians need more money in their own wallets.

The general theme is why would I pay for this food if I can get it for free and save my money for other stuff. Sadly there seems to be a whole list of ways to get free stuff or abuse the generosity of Canadians online. Most of these people would never think accessing these services in their home country and wouldn’t brag to their family and friends back home about how they are taking food from charity. There seems to be a false sense that Canada is a place of abundance and that there are unlimited resources. No thought that a child, someone disabled or senior is going without food while you have hit up every foodbank in the local area.

    It's disgusting that international students are even allowed. If they are allowed, I promise I'll no longer donate. The government knew about this all along and had their heads in the sand just for that foreign tuition money. That's Canada for you.

      U do realize its not like international students can come and receive education here for _free_ , right? Every single IS must pay at least $36,100 in tuition fees alone. And where does all this money go? To the government, to taxes, money to help improve the country. Im all for international students, not just for the money they pay, but for how much diversity they bring. I love meeting people from all over the world. I agree that _some_ IS are exploiting the food bank system and that they should stop trying to hijack the system, but to go as far as to say they should simply be _banned_ from coming here is wrong in so many ways.

      Please don't stop donating to food banks, if you do donate. There are always people in genuine need; especially veterans and seniors and especially during winter. Thank you for all of your contributions.

      @@dbuc4671They need to be self sufficient. They aren’t refugees. All immigrants are expected to take care of themselves if they come here. When my mother moved here she had to agree not to seek support of any kind for a certain period. It’s not ok to take from actual people in need. I don’t donate to support people who come here under false pretenses.

      I will continue to donate, as long as they serve the citizens and not international students and store and restaurant owners. There was a store in Winnipeg selling baby formula from the food bank! DISGUSTING!!

      Although I agree with how you feel depriving other disenfranchised people's the benefits of your generosity is no solution. I would suggest you talk with the administrator of said food bank and ask them to be clear on there policies ,and on a side note 8 wish food banks would also stop feeding junkies,if they would rather get stoned then eat.die,im sick of them being catered to while poisoning our city with there garbage ,homelessness and threats and theft and assaults and needles and screaming,then they stand in line godbless you everyone,while laughing at your kindness.

    I moved to Canada in 2014. At that time, Food Banks in the city I studied did not accept international students. This went without saying. I remember there were things you could not access until you were permanent residents. Where did this entitlement come from? I am so confused.

    Everyone should be doing whatever they can to support themselves. Food bank use should be for the poor and truly needy.

    International student , they come here to study but they are looking for full time job and use food bank they should not they should not access to any kind of government social aid it’s only for locals Canadian , Reason accepting international student to be beneficial both side , Canada to boost our economy and in rtn we share and educate overseas student and our experience , some overseas student are not authentic student they are here to Get PR and access to our labour and work market . Government need to stop issuing visa for student who are broke .and from 3rd word countries they are milking this visa program and draining our pocket and draining our labour market accepting cheap wages . This need to stop now .
