MIGRANT STUDENTS UNITED AT SFU

United We Are Stronger

Keep Your Promise, Trudeau

Thousands march for Status for All across so-called Canada.

No Fees In Universal Healtcare:

Eliminate The International Student Health Fee!

The International Student Health Fee (ISHF) is unjust and imposes financial, social, and administrative burden in the British Columbia (BC) healthcare system.

We demand concrete and meaningful action to eliminate the exclusive, unfair, and expensive International Students Health Fee.

The principle of universality of the Canada Health Act requires that “all residents of a province or territory be entitled, on uniform terms and conditions, to the publicly funded health services covered by provincial/territorial plans.” The ISHF is a clear violation of this principle.

No fees should be required for “Universal HealthCare”!

Sign the PR Campaign Petition

Migrant students bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, values and economic contribution to the Canadian community. Despite these contributions to Canadian society, migrant students face numerous obstacles in pursuit of their degrees, careers and permanent residency (PR). The unjust Study Permit, Work Permit and PR rules have resulted in an exploitative and problematic system that requires fundamental changes to put an end to everyday violation of migrant students’ human and labour rights.

Tabling at SFU Burnaby to launch the PR campaign

On March 17th, 2022, we came together in SFU Burnaby Convocation Mall to launch the Permanent Residency Campaign, in which we highlight the unfair rules for international students’ permanent residency process and urge the federal government to change these restrictive and unjust policies. PR campaign demands include addressing current issues with study and work permits:

Remove the 20-hour work limit for study permit holders
Offer automatic work permits to private college students
Make PGWPs renewable
Remove industry restrictions on permits
Lower tuition fees
Ensure access to employment and decent work
Ensure full access to all services including healthcare, housing, jobs, scholarships, and in-school support
Ensure family unity for ALL types of families by simplifying the partner visa process for LGBTQ+ couples
and STATUS for ALL
