Toronto: A viral video has raised concerns after allegedly showing a long line of students, reportedly from India, queuing outside the Tandoori Flame restaurant in Brampton, Canada. The footage, which has quickly circulated on social media, captures around 3,000 students waiting to be interviewed for waiter and server positions.
The video, posted on X by Megh Updates, has sparked a debate over the opportunities available for international students, especially those aspiring to study or work in Canada. The caption accompanying the video reads, "Scary scenes from Canada as 3,000 students (mostly Indian) line up for waiter and servant jobs after an advertisement by a new restaurant opening in Brampton.

While the video’s authenticity is not verified, it has triggered widespread discussions online. Some users expressed concerns over the timing of moving abroad amidst economic uncertainty. One commented, “People need to understand that with a recession looming overhead, this is not the right time to move abroad.”
Others defended the students, suggesting that working part-time in restaurants is a common practice for many international students. One user noted, “If they are students and still studying, working in a restaurant is probably a part-time job to support themselves. That should not be called unemployment.”
Supporters of the students also highlighted the challenges faced by international students, pointing out that many eventually succeed despite difficult initial conditions. “Maybe the beginning is tough for these students who dream big in Canada. I have seen that, despite extremely tough conditions, they eventually succeed and lead enriching lives compared to back home,” read one comment.

Villagers beat to death last wolf from a pack of 6 that killed 8 people in UP’s Bahraich
Bahraich: The last one of the pack of six wolves that had created terror in Mahsi tehsil has been killed by the locals in Tamachpur village of this district, officials on Sunday said.
The wolf killed late Saturday night under the Ramgaon police station area is a female and not lame as suspected earlier, they said.
The wolf's body has been sent for post-mortem, the officials said.
"Late Saturday night we got information that people had killed a wolf in Tamachpur village under Ramgaon police station of Mahsi tehsil. When we reached there, we found the dead wolf and the bodies of a goat. There were injury marks on the wolf's body and it was bleeding," Divisional Forest Officer Ajit Pratap Singh told PTI.
"On closer inspection, we found that the dead wolf was an adult female. When we inquired, we found out that the wolf had entered the inhabited area and was carrying away a goat. On the way, the villagers surrounded and killed it. The dead wolf has been brought to the range office for post-mortem," he added.
When asked whether the killed female wolf was lame or not, the DFO said that "there was never a 'lame wolf' in the pack of man-eating wolves".
Some villagers of Tamachpur village told reporters that the wolf had tried to attack an innocent child sleeping next to his mother in the courtyard of a house in the village, but on hearing the mother's screams, the wolf ran away and attacked a goat there.
Later, the villagers surrounded the wolf and beat it to death, they said.
Earlier on September 10, a fifth wolf was captured as part of the 'Operation Bhediya' campaign that has been ongoing in Bahraich's Mahsi tehsil to catch a pack of six wolves that have killed eight people and injured more than 20 others since mid-July. Four other wolves were earlier also rescued in the district.
'Operation Bhediya' campaign is going on in the area since July 17 to capture a pack of six wolves that have been terrorising 50 villages in Mahsi tehsil of Bahraich district.
At least eight people, including seven children, have died in suspected attacks by these wolves.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had conducted an aerial inspection of the area earlier on September 15 and met families of those who lost their lives in the recent wolf attacks.
He assured the residents of Mahis tehsil that the forest department, district administration and police will continue working until the wolf threat ends.
