Letts said many of the co-ops and internships being offered are in the social service and child-care fields.

Many international students have gone on to great success after their time at Sheridan; however, it is not without difficulties for some seeking an education abroad.

Balpreet Singh, legal council for the World Sikh Organization of Canada, worries about students struggling to find affordable housing.

What he's most concerned about is the influx of international students and whether some colleges will be able to continue providing the required services for those students. He believes colleges should be more selective and opt more for postgrad and mature students instead of those coming straight from high school.

"I’m definitely not in favour of clamping down on international students. Canada has a great program, and our communities are benefitting from it in terms of our economy," Singh said. "But that being said, we have to make sure we’re getting the right candidates."

Earlier this year, there were a number of violent incidents around the Davis Campus that were caught on video, and many on social media blamed international students for the brawls. Saini believes Sheridan's international students have been given a black eye because of it.

Over the summer, the college stated analysis showed in the vast majority of those incidents, no Sheridan students were involved, and to suggest international students were instigating the acts of violence was "extremely damaging for students, for post-secondary institutions and for the perception of immigration in general."

Sonia Sidhu, MP for Brampton South, agrees that the international student reputation shouldn't be tarnished by such acts. She also says these students "add a rich texture to the educational experience by adding new perspectives and improving country-to-country ties."

During her time at Sheridan, Saini says everyone at Sheridan has shown her respect,and students from various countries have become like family to her.

Most importantly, she believes she's gaining practical knowledge that will be beneficial for when she's ready to go home to India and find employment in her field of interest, such as cosmetic engineering or another laboratory trade.

"They’re (Sheridan) making so many efforts to teach their students on how to do good in the future,” she said.
