Indian students in Calgary launch hunger strike over work permit denials
A large group of Indian students, primarily hailing from Punjab, has initiated a protest and hunger strike in Calgary, Canada, following the rejection of their post-graduation work permit (PGWP) applications. These students report that they invested CAD 32,000 (approximately ₹21 lakh) in two-year academic programs under the impression that they would be eligible for a PGWP. They are now contending that their courses are being classified as non-credit, which renders them ineligible for the work permit.
