Canadian here. Please be aware that our federal government is currently favoring laws against international students due to a huge problem with schools admitting many more international students than their facilities or surrounding communities could handle to collect increased tuition and fees. I'm not sure how that applies to masters and PhD students but may affect anyone from outside the country.
They are also currently tabling legislation to limit immigration in ways similar to how the US has in the past. This never leads to safety and happiness for minorities or immigrants as we have seen elsewhere. Should these laws not be amended and pass as written I would not consider Canada a safe haven any longer. It is sad and maddening all at athe same time.
I apologise for the actions of my government for they do not speak for me and I hope more Canadians can see what is happening here and act to stop it.
