🌍 ISSU MB Union Response to @MarcMillerVM & @theJagmeetSingh :
Dear Hon. Ministers, the Bloomberg article sheds light on the plight of international students & skilled workers Canada. They've diligently followed every rule, yet face uncertainty. What's the plan for their future?
🔍 We seek clarity on:
1️⃣ Immediate relief measures: Accessible support for those facing visa expiration amidst economic challenges.
2️⃣ Long-term visa stability: Clear pathways to ensure their contributions are valued and retained.
3️⚖️ Fair pathways to PR: Transparent guidelines for transitioning from temporary to permanent residency.
💡 These individuals enrich our communities, bolster our economy, and embody Canada's values of diversity & inclusion.
📈 Strategically, securing their place in Canada's workforce strengthens our competitive edge globally.
🤝 Let's reaffirm our commitment to those who chose Canada, offering them security and opportunity. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive nation.

@MarcMillerVM "It is unacceptable that your government and universities made false promises to hundreds of thousands of students, exploiting them and wasting their valuable years. Now, you are telling them to return home and blaming them for everything? This is a clear case of betrayal
@MarcMillerVM Why didn't you inform them during the application process, so they could make an informed decision about whether it was worth making significant investments and sacrifices to study in Canada?
Some of them sold their houses and businesses just to study in Canada.
When you need economic support then you invited students and now when they invest enough and now you want them to move out after 5-6 yrs . Will government provide those students all their investment back so they can settle back home country . Good enough to work Goodenoughtostay.
