Indian students are protesting against the Trudeau government in many cities of Canada. On one hand, students fear losing their jobs due to these decisions and on the other hand, they also fear being sent back to India. According to media reports, 70 thousand graduate students are facing the threat of deportation due to this decision of the Trudeau government.
Indian students have taken to the streets of Canada after the post of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau. Trudeau wrote on Twitter that the government is going to reduce the number of low-paid temporary foreign workers. Trudeau says that the labor market has changed a lot and now it is time for Canadian businesses to invest in local workers and youth.
On the other hand, Canada has also announced changes in its immigration policy. The new policy includes a 25 percent reduction in permanent resident enrollment and a ban on study permits. According to media reports, this decision has been taken due to the rapidly increasing population in Canada. According to data provided by the Canadian government, about 97% of last year's population growth was due to immigrants.
Students took to the streets against the decision of the Canadian government
Thousands of Indian students have come out on the streets of Canada against these decisions of the Canadian government. Indian students are protesting against the Trudeau government in many cities of Canada. On one hand, students fear losing their jobs due to these decisions and on the other hand, they also fear being sent back to India. According to media reports, 70 thousand graduate students are facing the threat of deportation due to this decision of the Trudeau government.
Representatives of the Youth Support Network, a student organisation in Canada, have warned students that they may be deported to India after their work permits expire this year.
Unemployment and increasing population are big challenges
To overcome the shortage of workers, the Canadian government launched a program for temporary foreign workers, under which work permits were issued to a large number of foreigners. According to the data, there was an increase of about 88 percent in work permits since 2019, while more than 1 lakh 83 thousand permits were issued in the year 2023.
The Employment and Social Development Association of Canada (ESDC) strongly opposed the government's policy. It alleged that it ignored the local people and employed people from other countries in their place.
The growing immigrant population and lack of employment for locals can prove to be a big challenge for the Trudeau government. There are elections in Canada next year, so lack of employment and housing for permanent residents can be a big election issue. This is why the Trudeau government wants to reduce the number of temporary residents and foreign workers.
