Supposedly there are about 160,000 citizens of Punjab working in Canada on student visas, mostly in trucking. Global news is reporting that one was arrested during a routine traffic stop and could possibly be deported:

I can't even find a good trucking job but all the Indian students I know have decent driving jobs. Reason why? Indian trucking company owners like to exploit these students for low pay. AC transport pays student AZ drivers $15 an hour on cash payments. In return they will help them get their PR.Phantom Trucker and Runawayscreaming Thank this.

Just read that online. He was arrested by OPP and is facing deportation because he was here on a student visa but working double the amount of hours the student visa allows. I can sympathize with needing to work to pay for schooling/cost of living but go about it the proper way.

The student scam seems to be a nudge, nudge, wink, wink accepted back-door route to permanent resident status in Canada and Canadian truck drivers are paying the price of having such an abundant source of slave labour from abroad.
Many of the foreign "student" colleges exist merely to facilitate student work visas. Some also specialize in money laundering:

There was the same thing here in US in IL and WA. You were able to get CDL even without legal residence, as long as you had a SSN. They cracked down on it only in 2017

If he’s so hard up, how did he afford his licence?

I guess slave labor still exists? Or perhaps indentured servitude?

People Express, Lightspeed and Syndicate are notorious for this. What’s finally putting an end to them? Insurance.
Canucklehead, uncleal13, Phantom Trucker and 1 other person Thank this. -
This sort of thing disgusts me to no end
The politicians and bureaucrats who enact and carry out such policies are engaging in treason at their employers, their fellow citizens' expense, and should be publicly and painfully executed. -
They borrow money from back home. Obviously that money has to be repaid some how. Their parents borrow money from family/friends.
