International students are protesting after "mass refusals" of post-graduate work permits for students taking non-credit programs. Why should students taking non-credit programs at colleges be allowed to work in Canada and ultimately become citizens?

This is insane There are people who work with colleges to specifically help undocumented students become entrepreneurs “I work with colleges, universities to help their undocumented students become entrepreneurs. And I'm number one in doing that, right, through my business, UndocuStartup” We have let illegals become so comfortable in America there are literally businesses that work with colleges on programs only for undocumented students This guy in in Los Angeles and I’ve found there are many other people, businesses and nonprofits that all do this only for undocumented and DACA students Insane

Minister Lena Metlege Diab says there have been no changes to PGWP eligibility since November 2024 and that non-credit programs were always ineligible. Then Canadians and international students deserve answers. • If that is true, why were students from these same Alberta Portage/CIOT programs receiving PGWP approvals right up to July 8, 2026? • Why did IRCC update its PGWP eligibility webpage on June 24, 2026, followed by a wave of refusals beginning July 8? • And why have some students with the same programs reportedly continued to receive approvals even after July 8, while hundreds of others were refused? International students invested $30,000–$50,000, studied at an IRCC-approved DLI, and trusted Canada’s immigration system. If there was no policy change, what explains the sudden shift in outcomes? Reopen the affected files. Conduct fair, transparent, and consistent assessments. #PGWP #InternationalStudents #Canada #IRCC #Justice #Alberta

Now I’ve seen it all The Wall Street Journal is actually reporting that Donald Trump taking away loan funding for college majors that don’t financially benefit students is “a good thing” Even calling them “clown colleges” “College programs that don't leave graduates financially better off will soon be ineligible for federal student loan funding. Here's why that's a good thing.” They explain how predatory colleges have become and how by taking away the funding for these programs it’ll force schools to lower their prices and make college cheaper “When the government stops providing taxpayer-funded loans to these programs, it keeps students from making a bad investment, and it incentivizes colleges to either lower prices or reform these programs to make them better. The government shouldn't fund college programs that leave students worse off” “The point of a federal student loan program should be to help students access a quality education, not give money to literal clown colleges.” Honest reporting from the Wall Street Journal… who knew that was even possible There was a study done on colleges and colleges who had students with access to federal student loans and Pell grants had 78% higher prices than other schools that didn’t have those students So this means colleges are skyrocketing prices because federal loans will be given out to cover the costs. Translation: They are robbing Americans blind

Back in 2023, Pierre Poilievre sounded like a bleeding heart liberal, publicly backing protesting international students, saying he would "join the protesting international students… we need these students… they should not be deported, let them stay..." Criticizing him for his stance then is fair, but a more productive question now is: What happened to those students and other temporary foreign workers? Have they been deported to India, or are they still here out of status and therefore in Canada illegally, taking away jobs from Canadians? He and his party should push the current government to answer that question.
