International students protest federal changes, citing frustration

City News reports that international students and recent graduates across Canada are protesting recent federal policy changes. Student advocacy group Naujawan Support Network stated that the Government of Canada’s immigration policy changes have left numerous graduates at risk of deportation when their work permits expire this year. City News states that the protests reflect the “growing frustration and desperation” among students who feel that they have invested in Canada and are “now being told to finish their studies and return home while dealing with massive debts.”
