globalnews.caImmigration law update led to fewer asylum claims in Canada
"The passing of Bill C-12 in March, An Act Respecting Certain Measures Relating To The Security Of Canada’s Borders, now allows officials at Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada to deny a significant number of asylum claims tied to study permits, work permits, or tourist visas."
"That has led to only 13,710 asylum claims filed in the three months since the legislation was passed, compared to 27,838 in the same time period last year."

nationalpost.comHow Long Can those Portage "College" International Students Stay in Canada
Background:
You've probably heard about the protests and hunger strikes being put on by international students of the now-defunct Portage "College".
You will recall that this college was non-accredited (it cannot issue bona-fide diplomas and/or University Degrees). In addition, they were sending students on fake internships at a hospital that never existed. Once the school was shut down for those shenanigans, the students insisted that they were intitled to Post Graduate Work Permits (PGWPs)... we can only assume that they thought that PR (Permanent Residency) was forthcoming too.
Anyway:
I've been hearing about these protests, and town halls, and social media rumblings both here in Canada and from the country that Mumbai is in.
My Question:
How long do these students get to stay here now that their "education" is over. I've heard that they face, "immediate removal", so why are they still here protesting? Aren't they supposed to be packing and gone, ...like yesterday?

Canada Reveals 908,000 Planned PR Admissions for 2026 to 2027
Wait… the government headline says 380,000 PRs per year, but when you read Budget 2025, it’s actually 454,000? Let me show you the math they buried in the fine print.
The Official Story:
Immigration Levels Plan 2026-2028: 380,000 permanent residents per year
Headlines: “Canada maintaining 380K PR target”
That’s what everyone is reporting
The Budget 2025 Fine Print:
IRCC confirmed to media: 115,000 Protected Persons getting PR (2026-2027)
Plus: 33,000 Temporary Workers getting PR (2026-2027)
Total: 148,000 EXTRA permanent residents
Status: “In addition to the Levels target” (not included in 380K)
The Real Math:
Official target: 380,000 per year
Hidden additions: 148,000 ÷ 2 years = 74,000 per year
Actual PR admissions: 454,000 per year
That’s 19.5% higher than the headline number
