ENGLISH WITH NEWS

International Students in Canada Face Food Insecurity Amid Food Bank Restrictions

In May 2025, international students across Canada are grappling with heightened food insecurity following new restrictions at food banks. Due to a national supply shortage, many food banks have limited their services exclusively to Canadian citizens and permanent residents. This policy shift has left thousands of international students and recent graduates, who often rely on these resources, struggling to meet their basic nutritional needs.

Key Words:

1. Food Insecurity (n.) – The state of being without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food.

   • Example: The new restrictions have increased food insecurity among international students.
     

2. Restriction (n.) – A limiting condition or measure, especially a legal one.

   • Example: The restriction on food bank access affects non-resident individuals.
     

3. Nutritional Needs (n.) – The requirements necessary to maintain health through adequate intake of nutrients.

   • Example: Meeting daily nutritional needs has become challenging for affected students.

This development underscores the importance of inclusive support systems for all students, regardless of residency status, to ensure their well-being and academic success.(SOURCE)
