About 70,000 foreign students participated in nationwide protests as Canada moves towards a major immigration overhaul.

Thousands of international students have taken to the streets to protest the new policies introduced by the Justin Trudeau-led federal government.


Demonstrations took place across provinces including Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia.

Do you think they will be heard, no. They can be l
kicked out anytime and ends in streets like a homeless dogs.

Every day it's one issue or the other. A lot of things will definitely be going through the minds of the students, like where would they start from after now if they are deported, or imagine the amount of money they must have spent before now. It's well though.

The government should not leave them stranded. They need to be helped. I know they can be accommodated if the government wants to.

Their protest turned futile. This time it's been the Canadian lawmakers to stop accepting immigrants and those who studied there will be forced deportation after their graduation.

This update is not a good one. They need to be sure that they are doing the right thing to avoid complicating issues for people

I pity the young students. Instead of protesting, they better write a position paper to the Canadian president. They feel hopeless but who knows the decision of the Canadian president will be changed.

I don't even understand why the Canadian government is taking such decisions when the international students are helping to boost their economy.

My thought too. Why all the talks and execution of deportation when they are helping the economy to grow. I don't get it
