480 Million impact to the Canadian economy due to the 12k student withdrawal

Maybe more since these are oil kids

Oil prices were down significantly in July compared to June, but they're expected to go up again soon with the sanctions on Iran.

and local post secondary institutions still suggest they're not a business and that it's all for-cost Kreygasm

lol my friend who works reception at a luxury spa will be relieved. says most time they have to ask saudi guys to leave or give them warning as they try to touch registered therapist or ask them for happy ending

:rofl:

you guys forget, canada aint losing much other than these students. and then again, these spaces will be filled by korean/japanese/name ur country students.

That sounds like a big number, but spread across the country that's not much of anything.

Honestly quite surprised to hear that they are the 4th biggest body of international students. For a long time, I know China and India are the top 2. At the places that I have dealt with in the past, Korea and Japan make for a solid 3rd and 4th places. And then it was a lot of SE Asian countries -- Singapore / Malaysian / Thailand / Indonesia etc. (which I tend to lump together since it is a bit difficult for me to tell them apart)

But as Underscore says -- 12k KSA students spread across the country doesn't really show up as that many at individual cities. BC, for example, has ~12 - 13% of the Canadian population. So even if we assume a similar 12% of all those KSA students stayed in Vanocuver, that's only 1440 students spread across multiple universities and colleges.

According to News 1130:

https://www.news1130.com/2018/08/08/...audi-students/

there are 15,000+ KSA students in Canada. UBC has ~280 Saudi nationals enrolled, with 80% of them being state-sponsored. UVic has 85.

That really isn't very many.

they apparently make up the largest number of foreign medical residents/fellows

no but really...when can I snag a good deal on a Mac 675LT? EleGiggle

Most people here seems to have the impression that all the Saudi's students here are from a very wealthy background but many are not. I have a student that I was just recently training over a span of 6 months. Him and his sisters are here due to the scholarship they have received. Both are extremely depressed that they have to leave as one of them has just a semester left to graduate. Both are great people and have been here for 5 years.

You also have some doctors from Saudi doing their residency in remote locations of Canada where they are the only doctor for that town. Pretty crappy situation for a lot of the individuals who have started to call Canada home

I would say that the majority are though.

You know why they go there? Because they get paid a monumental shit ton of money.

so what happens if they try stay in canada?....They Stone their family to death one by one till they come back?

The Doctor's who need to complete their residency are not given a choice on where they will complete it. My family doctor from South Africa had to finish his residency in Northern BC as he had no other options.

Ignoring your remark but they don't receive their scholarship or funding to complete their schooling

Boo friggidy who... Life's tough. Suck it the fuck up.

I'm not worried about the Doctor's leaving as they will surely find employment in another country. Its the population that they are leaving whom won't have access to a Doctor for sometime as the Country is short of physicians in the medical field.

residents might make closer to minimum wage given how many hours they have to put in.... whether it's in Bumfuck, BC or otherwise

and losing medical personnels in rural areas will be a big deal

This young king of Saudi Arabia sounds like he is instructing his officials to these tactics to harm Canada as part of his baby tantrum.

-such a knee jerk reaction by the Saudis in response to Canada's stance against that country's violation of human rights.

Part of the new way to wage war between politicians seems like these days.

the largest military hardware export in Canadian history is, you guessed it, with the kingdom in question (15 billion CAD)

no wonder the rest of the world thinks Ottawa is a joke :fuckthatshit:

Are they threatening to fly an Air Canada jet into CN Tower...?? :seriously:

I sure hope their "government" didn't post that...

It has been negotiated that there will be a 30 day grace period for residence students, while the KSA figures out transfers and Canadian doctors can adapt their schedules. So be on the look out for cheap cars in a month.
