Pathway to Permanent Rejection

In August of this year, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) recently established a new policy for international students wherein their post-graduate work permits will not be renewed. Students who have created communities, established jobs and started families will need to return to their countries of origin. The impact will be devastating in this ecosystem we call 'Canada'.Andrea and Hostion will discuss the essential role international students play in Canada's economy and education system and how abrupt policy changes are causing chaos. From universities depending on hefty tuition fees to labor market impacts, the episode paints a vivid picture. Where policy is implemented, it is always people who bear the brunt of heavy handed jurisdiction. Sudden policy shifts will negatively impact the whole of Canada, making pathways to permanent residency no more than a broken promise.Episode SourcesTens of thousands of international students who spent years finding a pathway to permanent residency are out of options - Globe and MailPermanent Residency Path Narrows For International Students in Canada - Immigration News CanadaHow the international student cap affects immigration to Canada - University of British ColumbiaCourse Correction: How international students can help solve Canada's labour crisis - RBCInternational students as a source of labour supply: A summary of recent trends - Stats CanadaQuiz SourcesCanada's foreign student push 'mismatched' job market, data shows - CBC NewsNew pathway to permanent residency for over 90,000 essential temporary workers and international graduates - Stats CanadaLet us know what you think of this episode!
