When I came as an international student many years ago, I could not find a single decent place to rent in Toronto, nothing and of course,, candians don't trust you when you come from somewhere else. I ended up in a bed and breakfast, not the first two I visited, that were full of drug users smoking pots all day. I got scared and went to Etobicoke, happy someone owner would take me in for a month. Then I continue my search for long term, nothing. So I decided to buy my own condo which, at the time, was much easier than getting frustrated and rejected at ugly rental places. It was such a relief to have my own place. Some other international students were less fortunate and had to go to Lawrence west, far away from college. But what were people in my case supposed to do ? Live in a dump at outrageous rents. Then of course, people like me were the problem because we were 'taking accommodations away from Canadians and so on...'. just because we were foreigners. So much discrimination and xenophobia in Canada. I didn't expect that at all. Well, at least, that's not what they sell you but it's all fake, and all illusions. In the end, nothing tangible, nothing worthwhile for all this trouble. So was it worth it ? NO.
