Students protest closure of Montréal private colleges

Students from private colleges in Québec that have had their permits suspended by the Government of Quebec Ministry of Education are holding protests. Permits were suspended at Collège supérieur de Montréal, Collège supérieur de Sherbrooke, and Collège de technologie Veritas, as well as for the permit for vocational training at Collège Herzing. QC stated that it is prioritizing ensuring the students can continue their studies, but students told The Canadian Press that they were encountering issues with the continuation plans and, by extension, their immigration status and study permit renewal. “There is no coherent, strategic plan that’s being put in place,” said student Leila Batatache.
