As the video begins, many students are seen standing in a long queue outside the restaurant. One job seeker, identified as Agamvir Singh, stated, "I came here around noon, and the line was enormous. We submitted our applications online, and they said they would conduct interviews. But nothing like that happened. People are just showing up. I don't believe there are job opportunities here. It is really tough."

Another job seeker, Vashvi, added, "It's so bad; it feels like everyone is looking for a job, yet no one is getting employed properly. So many of my friends don’t have jobs right now, and they have been here for 2-3 years."

Netizens' Responses To Viral Video

After the video surfaced on social media, netizens expressed mixed reactions and concerns over the harsh reality of unemployment in Canada. One user commented, "Still, these so-called students don't work back home in India. They will work there as dishwashers. Still not in their home country."

Another remarked, "It’s alarming to see 3,000 students, mainly from India, lining up for waiter and servant jobs in Brampton. This reflects the harsh reality of unemployment in Trudeau's Canada. Those leaving India for dreams need a serious reality check!"

A further comment read, "Heartbreaking scenes from Brampton: 3,000 students, mostly Indian, queue for waiter jobs after a single restaurant opening. Is Trudeau's Canada the land of opportunity or broken dreams?"
