In this episode, we sit down with Ali, an Iranian-Canadian immigration consultant and the brain behind Parsai Services Immigration, to explore the complex landscape of the Canadian International Education system. Ali's own story unfolds from being an author in Iran to a guiding light for countless international students in Canada. He traces his unexpected path to his immigration consultancy business and delves into the intricacies of federal and provincial immigration policies.

We examine the skyrocketing numbers of international students choosing Canada as their study destination—43% growth year-over-year— and question why Canada has become such a magnet for education. Ali candidly points out both the selling points and potential pitfalls of Canada's immigration system.

The conversation also takes a critical turn as we discuss the gaps between Canada's self-promotion and the harsh realities that many immigrants face. Whether you're an international student eyeing Canada, a policy nerd, or just someone intrigued by the real stories behind immigration statistics, this episode offers a rich tapestry of insights, personal experiences, and hard-hitting truths.

Tune in to get a better understanding of what it really takes to make it as an international student in Canada, and how the Canada's immigration policies have evolved to where they are today.
