Canada and Saudi Arabia have been feuding since Canada's foreign minister called out Saudi Arabia's human rights record on Twitter in early August.
In response, Saudi Arabia has expelled the Canadian ambassador, frozen all new investments, and canceled all flights to Toronto.
It also pulled thousands of students from Saudi institutions.
Thousands of students have to leave by August 31.
Many are now scrambling to sell their belongings, including cars and furniture, online and in garage sales before they leave the country.
