so thank you so much for making time for us now, Given the current India Canada face off in the diplomatic spat, will going to Canada for higher studies be difficult for India? Indian students? I think, uh, permission for answering this question. We need to put things in perspective to look at Canada. Over the years, you have seen an exponential increase in number of students applying to Canada. Why is that? A is a very friendly nation. They very they when they welcome you with open arms two lots of facilities for research and extracurricular activities, number three job opportunities are tremendous. And four, the attraction is to get that permanent residence to settle down in Canada. As a result, Canada has become a very popular destination. In the last 10 years, I've seen India. But lately, because of the political fallout, a lot of people have been asking me what is going to happen in Canada. I still believe it's a hiccup. I think things will improve. Uh, if I talk to students at the ground level in Canada, they're extremely happy. The fallout political fallout has not impacted them at all. I think we read more about it in our papers out here. So we see, we feel that the impact is there. But answering your question as students are now getting ready to apply for next year, there is a bit of apprehension. Parents and students both are concerned that what will happen will the visa come on time. Will we get there? Will our Children be welcomed out there? We'll get a job after that or not. These are apprehensions. I think in spite of all these apprehensions, people are still applying. There may be a slight drop in apprehension in applications, but people are still applying because Canada is a very favourite destination. So what they're gonna do is they're gonna apply. There may be a small drop, but they'll have a wait and watch attitude. And sometime by May June, when the decisions come out and see what the political scenario is, I think then they will take this issue. But I don't see a major drop in application to Canada at all. I think on the contrary, people will still apply to Canada. And I think what I must give credit to is the Canadian universities. The admission directors have really reached out to students and parents both through emails and seminars and made them very comfortable. Look, here, this is a hiccup is not impacting college life at all. So please do apply. I think parents eventually want assurance that assurance is coming from the Canadian colleges. So I really, honestly don't feel it's gonna be too much of a change, believe me. But yes, people will talk about in the cocktail circuit. What should we do? What we shouldn't do. But eventually, when it comes to our applications, people will still apply. But have a wait and watch at it and see whether the visas are coming in time. If they do get the visa, they'll definitely be good.
