📣‼️Indian students protest PGWP rules in Canada.🇨🇦

✈️International students, mainly from India, are protesting Canada’s decision to terminate a policy that allowed them to extend post-graduate work permits by an additional 18 months.📌

👥Several protesting students have already seen their work permits expire, while others are expected to lose theirs by the end of the year.🗓️❌

📣The protests began in the last week of August in Brampton, Ontario, and have since spread to other provinces, including Prince Edward Island and Manitoba.📍

👉🏻In light of a housing crisis and growing concerns over inflation, the Canadian government introduced a cap on international student intake in January and further tightened it in September.📌

‼️Additionally, in December 2023, the government announced that students with PGWPs expiring after December 31, 2023, would not be eligible for extensions.📑❌

📣The protests have been going on for the last couple of months, led by various support organisations in Canada, said Bikram Gill, a former international student in Brampton.📍
