Thank you to our MPs, organizers, and educators for standing alongside our students and advocating for their arrival so they can begin their studies.
@CitImmCanada has ignored our students for far too long, and we will not stand for it. Our students deserve answers, action, and the opportunity to pursue the education they have worked so hard for.
Coverage on our latest press conference highlighting the atrocities of the Canadian government. These delays cannot simply go on for any longer. @CitImmCanada We expect immediate action to be taken.

Other countries approve visas and enable evacuations of students.
Why are @GAC_Corporate & @CitImmCanada seemingly so inept?

Waseem got accepted & evacuated from Gaza by the Spanish gov't within a 4-week period. Meanwhile, he has been waiting for more than 2 years for a response from the @CitImmCanada , but has been left with complete silence. @LenaMetlegeDiab How many more students will Canada lose?
calling out the Canadian government for its lack of action in bringing Palestinian students to Canada. These students have been accepted to prestigious Canadian universities and have been waiting for more than 2 years to begin their studies, yet no action has been taken.
Meanwhile, students are finding opportunities in countries like the UK, Spain & France, where they are being evacuated from Gaza almost immediately after receiving their acceptances. @LenaMetlegeDiab How many more students will Canada lost due to bureaucratic delays?

@LenaMetlegeDiab , when will these students finally be allowed to come to Canada?
Thank you @SalmaZahid15 for speaking up and standing with our students. The lack of urgency is unacceptable.

From all of us at PSSAR, thank you to our supporters, faculty members, students, unions, and community partners who continue to stand with Palestinian students.

These students deserve the opportunity to continue their education and build their futures. We will continue to call on @LenaMetlegeDiab to take immediate action.

Over 200 Jewish Canadians have signed our open letter calling on Immigration Minister Lena Diab and the Government of Canada to urgently facilitate the evacuation of Palestinian students in Gaza who have already been admitted to Canadian universities and colleges.
These students have secured admission, scholarships, and opportunities to continue their education. What many cannot secure on their own is a safe way out of Gaza and a workable path through Canada’s visa process.
Palestinian students should not be treated as a threat to Jewish safety simply because of their nationality.
Canada has the ability to give these students a path out of genocide and back into classrooms. It must do so.

Thank you @IndJewishVoices for supporting our students!
@LenaMetlegeDiab how many more organizations, MPs, faculty members, and Canadians need to speak up before you take action?
Plus de 200 Canadiens juifs ont signé notre lettre ouverte demandant à la ministre de l’Immigration, Lena Diab, et au gouvernement du Canada de faciliter de toute urgence l’évacuation des étudiants palestiniens de Gaza qui ont déjà été admis dans des universités et des collèges canadiens.
Ces étudiants ont obtenu leur admission, des bourses d’études et la possibilité de poursuivre leurs études. Ce que beaucoup d’entre eux ne peuvent obtenir par eux-mêmes, c’est un moyen sûr de quitter Gaza et une voie praticable pour franchir le processus d’obtention de visa canadien.
Les étudiants palestiniens ne devraient pas être considérés comme une menace pour la sécurité des Juifs simplement en raison de leur nationalité.
Le Canada a les moyens d’offrir à ces étudiants une issue au génocide et de leur permettre de retourner en classe. Il doit le faire.
