Over 70,000 international student in Canada face risk of deportation

Canada to limit study permits and reduce permanent residency nominations
Over 70,000 international student graduates in Canada are facing the risk of deportation due to recent federal immigration policy changes. The Trudeau government’s decision to limit study permits and reduce permanent residency nominations has sparked widespread protests across the country.
Demonstrations are occurring from coast to coast, with international students setting up encampments and organizing rallies in provinces including Prince Edward Island (PEI), Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia. The Naujawan Support Network, a student advocacy group, has raised concerns that many graduates will face deportation when their work permits expire at the end of the year.
The crisis has intensified due to new provincial policies that have introduced a 25% reduction in permanent residency nominations, leaving many students unexpectedly vulnerable. Mehakdeep Singh, a former international student, shared his frustration: “I spent six years taking risks to come to Canada. I studied, worked, paid taxes, and earned enough Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points, but the government has taken advantage of us.”
Singh, who invested his family’s life savings in tuition, now faces an uncertain future with no guarantee of permanent residency as the deadline looms. The situation continues to evolve as protests demand a reversal of the policy changes and seek solutions for those affected.
