Indian woman’s video from Canada goes viral for showing job struggle– here’s what she captured

A short video filmed by an Indian woman living in Canada has recently gained widespread attention online. Shared via Instagram by the user @kanutalescanada, the video shows a long line of job seekers waiting outside what appears to be a recruitment event in Canada.

The video has since crossed 4 lakh views and continues to be shared across platforms.At the beginning of the video, the woman addresses a commonly held belief, stating: “Guys, hamare jo Indian friends ya relatives hain jinko lagta hai ki Canada mein bahut jobs aur paisa hai, unko ye video dikha dena.” The camera then shows a line of people standing outside a building, said to be waiting for an internship opportunity.In the video, she mentions that the event was reportedly hiring only 5 to 6 people, highlighting the tough competition.

However, in a later clarification, she added, “The hiring was actually spread over 5-6 days, and not just for 5-6 people. Still doesn’t change the fact that there's a struggle to start with. One should be prepared when they come abroad.”

She further says in the clip, “This is the reality of Canada. If you're prepared for this, then come to Canada– otherwise India is better.”The caption accompanying the video reads: “Life abroad isn't always a dream.

Sometimes it's just... a long queue.” The post has received many reactions, especially from Indian immigrants and people thinking about moving abroad.Several viewers commented on the post to share their personal perspectives. One user wrote, “Thank you for showing the truth. People don't talk about these struggles.” Another stated, “Same situation here in Toronto. Even for survival jobs, it's a long wait.”Watch the video here:
