Why Indian students in Canada’s Calgary are protesting over post-study work permits
Indian students in Calgary are protesting the rejection of their post-graduation work permit (PGWP) applications after completing programs at Portage College. The protests, which include a hunger strike, have drawn attention from the provincial government and Canadian immigration authorities, highlighting the significant investment families make in overseas education. Many students, primarily from Punjab, feel misled about their eligibility for work permits, prompting demands for clarity and reconsideration of their cases.
