A Greater Vancouver Food Bank policy prevents international students experiencing food insecurity during their first year in Canada from receiving free food while they adjust to an unfamiliar country and community.
Emma Nelson, communications manager at the GVFB, said in an email the policy exists because the federal government requires international students to have “substantial savings” before coming to Canada.
Federal rules require international students to have $20,635 saved up, in addition to tuition and travel costs, in order to come to study in Canada.
Trudeau’s immigration scam makes the most vulnerable Canadian citizens compete with his foreigners for food.
