BREAKING: Migrant students deliver 16,000 petitions to Immigration Minister to stop mass deportations ahead of Dec 31 deadline!

@marcomendicino @JustinTrudeau Don't punish migrants for the pandemic. Make work permits renewable. #RenewPGWP #StatusForAll

SHARE WIDELY! Thousands were given time-restricted work permits upon graduation, but must complete high-waged jobs to qualify for PR. With COVID-19 job losses worsening again in the 2nd wave, most don't have access to these jobs and yet their permits remain non-renewable and are set to expire.
