I remember a friend of mine was pretty frustrated because he had to compete with a lot of other Canadians, and a ton of foreigners to get into McGill. There was an unbelievable number of people who don't even live in or anywhere near Canada trying to go there too.

Please please don't take this the wrong way. But what business does someone from the Philippines for example have going to a Canadian university?

To better their English, most likely. It can be quite difficult to learn it if you are not around people that speak it fluently.

I am a part of all that I have met.

And our schools are better than in poorer countries, so of course they're going to come here. They're here legally, so you don't have the right to bitch. If you get beat out by them, then you have some re-evaluating to do because apparently you weren't good enough. Even Canadians go to the US for school and vice versa, or to Europe, just for the travel experience. It can be a wonderful experience.

They're also paying three times as much to go to that school than you, so they're putting even more into their education than you.

Take my hand, this one last time,
Face the world before us, the warrior inside,
In a lifetime of disaster, it's a battle to the end,
Final stand, my life must carry on, And forever, this time.
