Three colleges in Quebec have closed as a result of nationwide protests. Following that, a severe scenario has developed in front of the about 2,000 Indian students studying there. After that, the students sought assistance from the Indian High Commission. On the demand of the students, the Indian High Commission has also been seen in action.
This issue has also been handled seriously by the Indian High Commission in Ottawa. Many Indian students registered in the three universities have been contacted, according to the High Commission. The Indian High Commission has issued advice in this regard. In which students are advised not to pay fees to any institute unless they have been verified. The government of Canada should investigate those three colleges, as well as see if they are recognized by the federal or provincial governments of Canada, according to the advice.
Colleges have been forced to close due to financial difficulties.
In Quebec, three colleges have closed due to a financial crisis. However, all three universities agree that the college suffered a great deal during the Corona era, forcing it to close. According to reports in the media, these students come from a variety of Indian states. Colleges such as CCSQ, M, and CDE have all been declared bankrupt. Tuition costs for all of these students totaled millions of dollars. Along with money, they are also facing difficulty with their degree.
The Indian High Commission in Ottawa had been approached by Indian students. The Indian High Commission has now issued advice to all students.
Staying for the students is an issue.
According to sources, the students' careers have been delayed as a result of the college's shutdown, and their primary concern has become how they will survive. Some have relocated to different cities to live with friends, while others have moved in with other families. Every day, they stage rallies to cope with their hardships and to draw the attention of the authorities to their problems. These youngsters staged a big rally in Brampton, a Toronto suburb, on Wednesday.
Students from various Indian states have come to study in Canada. In India, over 700 students were enrolled in online programs. Their troubles have worsened as a result of the college's closure. Manpreet Kaur, a student from Longowal, Punjab, is one of them. She attends M College and pays a 14-thousand-dollar annual tuition fee.
'She arrived in Canada on October 9 last year,' Manpreet added. I was told that because there aren't many students yet, colleges won't start until January 6th. On the 6th of January, we received an email. The college was claimed to have gone bankrupt. She came here to do a PG in Computer Science.
Vishal Rana, a student from Karnal, is also present. He is a CCSQ College medical student. 'My medical officer's course was 16 months,' Rana explains. There were just four months left. The college is no longer open. What should I do now, and where should I go? Nothing makes sense to me. In addition, I have paid a fee of $24,000.
