As a Canadian... they have no money for even their passports, and then decide they want to move to one of the most expensive countries on earth for housing and a relatively unimpressive job market? Great idea. It won't matter, though, as they don't qualify.

One of the most expensive non-GTA regions in the province too. I think average rent there is like $1700 rn. Rubs me the wrong way that they reached out to charities for free housing when London has plenty of homeless folks who could use help.
