Hundreds of Indian graduates in Canada are protesting against new federal policies that could lead to their deportation. These changes aim to cut permanent residency nominations by 25% and limit study permits, leaving over 70,000 student graduates in limbo. The students, who have been protesting for months in provinces like Prince Edward Island, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia, fear they will be deported when their work permits expire this year.

The policy shift comes amid rapid population growth, driven by immigration, and mounting pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government to reduce the number of temporary residents. The government also plans to cut back on temporary foreign workers, restricting permits in regions with unemployment rates above 6%. The policy changes exempt sectors like agriculture, food processing, construction, and healthcare.

Advocacy groups argue that the real issues lie in broader policy failures, not the influx of international students. Trudeau's government aims to reduce the temporary resident population to 5% of Canada's total population within three years.
