Several Indian and international students in Canada were spotted lining up for job opportunities at Tim Hortons, a renowned coffee and fast-food chain. Recently, Nishat, an Indian student based in Toronto, posted a video showcasing the extensive queue of applicants outside a Tim Hortons location, underscoring the fierce competition for part-time jobs among foreign students.
In the video, Nishat, 23, revealed that he is a student in Toronto and has been searching for a part-time job for a month. Despite arriving at the job fair 30 minutes early, he encountered a lengthy line of applicants already present. "More than 100 students had already shown up for the job fair. Observing the long queue, even the Caucasian individuals nearby were taken aback, wondering what on earth was happening here," he remarked.
He also stated in the video that Tim Hortons staff gathered their resumes, inquired about their availability, and assured them they would receive an interview invitation. The video was posted on the Instagram social media platform with a caption that said, "Job Fair at Tim Hortons Aur Struggle Abhi Baaqi Hai Mere Dost." Since being shared, the video has amassed over one million views and garnered nearly 20 thousand likes from Instagram users.
