The Chambers of Commerce in Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Mackenzie, and Prince George issued a joint statement expressing concern over the federal government's new restrictions
The Chambers of Commerce in Quesnel, Vanderhoof, Mackenzie, and Prince George issued a joint statement expressing concern over the federal government's new restrictions on international students' work opportunities post-graduation.
They said this"unfairly targets" the college and will cause harm to the regional economy in north-central B.C. “On one hand, the federal government has a rural immigration program to encourage new Canadians to live and work outside of the major metropolitan areas but then it sets policy that steers international students to more expensive universities in the big cities, rather than programs at regional colleges like CNC,” the statement read.
