Someone came all the way from (edit) Algeria to study to become a medical secretary? That seems like a terrible decision considering how costly that would be. More likely the diploma mill taking advantage of someone.

“the Quebec government now requires international students to have $24,617 in the bank — an increase of almost $10,000 from 2025. Meanwhile, they are also not permitted to work without being enrolled full-time”.
That’s a very low monetary amount to have to live and study here even with the increase. 21K is considered poverty in Quebec and 24k in BC.
No real reason given in the article why the schools were shut down.

First time I’ve heard a different group of people ethnically protesting. Strange.

We have so many other issues right now. We don’t need more people here and outsiders complaining are the least of our worries

Enter a grift college for a grift program and get the expected results. Scams and scammers shouldn’t be rewarded.

If the options are fraud or a scam, then there should no options.

Run out of options faster please

Studying abroad is not a right. Canada is not responsible for single-handedly educating half the world.

International students running out of fraudulent options. That’s what the title should read

I feel so bad for the students, since many were preyed upon by predatory “agents” who sell them on the idea of a Canadian education / possible pathway to citizenship.

These were not legitimate study options, they were loopholes into citizenship which are finally being closed. And the schools were taking advantage of international students. If the students knew there was no possible chance they could get a work visa or PR after this, they wouldn’t be interested in paying exorbitant amounts of money for bullshit programs. Shut em down.

That’s ok. Their home countries are very fortunate to have these hard working dreamers return

Why do people always act shocked and entitled when the obvious af immigration scam of a „college“ gets shut down ? If you’re spending that much why not go to an actual college/cegep and get something actually valid and worthwhile?
Also immigration was never guaranteed. even if you speak French. We would like specialists in their trades to stay here in Quebec, Not more useless administration and pencil pushers.

Why are my tax dollars being wasted publishing this drivel?
They took a risk, it didn’t pay off, now go home

On the small chance these folks didn’t know what they were doing then I do feel bad for them but unfortunately this is a common scam now and people are abusing are education pathways as a way to stay here forever. And I don’t think that’s fair to any of the immigrants waiting in line.

>The ministry says the closure of these institutions will not have an impact on future applications, including potential applications for permanent immigration. Quebec has also informed the federal government of the situation as it is responsible for issuing study permits.
Which is honestly pretty generous, considering that these sounded like diploma mills.

Can CBC start reflecting the concerns of Canadians instead of driving their own bleeding heart agenda? I support immigration like other Canadians, but we don’t need more Uber drivers, Tim Hortons workers, or cleaners. Wage suppression is real and we should address it.
