International students have come together to protest in front of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) office in Mississauga to stop deportations due to fraudulent offer letters.
Since May 29th, students have been demonstrating near 6900 Airport Road without pause. In addition to students, prominent business owners, social media influencers, and immigration consultants are also joining the protest to support international students and stop deportations.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is also actively investigating recent reports of fraudulent offer letters being used as justification for the deportation of international students.

On June 2, 2023, Newfoundland and Labrador made it easier for internationally-trained nurses to work in the province by amending the Registered Nurses Regulations.
The changes include establishing a Designated Countries Pathway for nurses from seven countries, including the US, UK, India, the Philippines, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, and reducing costs and education assessment time for International Nursing Applicants.
The Provincial Government plans to welcome approximately 200-300 nurses from India by the end of this year. Currently, there are already 200 internationally-educated nurses working in the province.

The government of New Brunswick will cover costs for up to 300 internationally educated nurses each year to help them integrate into the healthcare system.
The initiative will last five years and cover various expenses such as assessments and tuition. Eligible nurses will be provided with financial support on a case-by-case basis.
Candidates must have a provincial nomination, be licensed in their home country, and pursue the licensure/registration process in New Brunswick to be eligible.
As part of this initiative, the Nurses Association of New Brunswick has taken steps to reduce the registration process for nurses from 12-18 months to as little as two weeks.
