She said her settlement agency is hearing more stories of Chinese international students struggling to adjust in Canada. But Wong-Tam, whose settlement agency provided services to 20,000 newcomers in 2016, about 300 of whom were international students, said the industry supporting temporary residents is largely unregulated. As of 2016, there were more than 400,000 international students studying in Canada, one-third of whom are from China.

"I know tragedies happen to all Canadians but international students are so much more vulnerable," she said.
