ਮੰਤਰੀ ਲੀਨਾ ਮੈਟਲੇਜ ਡਾਇਬ: ਇੰਟਰਨੈਸ਼ਨਲ ਸਟੂਡੈਂਟਸ ਇਕਾਨਮੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੈਲਯੂ ਐਡ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਪਰ Portage-CIOT ਗਰੈਜੂਏਟਸ ਨੂੰ PGWP ਰਿਫਿਊਜ਼। Minister Lena Metlege Diab: “International students add value to our Canadian economy. There’s no doubt about it.” Yet hundreds of Portage College / CIOT graduates face PGWP refusals. IRCC’s official position (June 24, 2026 update): No change in eligibility criteria – only clarification that non-credit programs (except flight school) are not eligible. Applicants must complete a degree, diploma or certificate from a DLI. - Gurbhej Singh Sidhu #PGWP #CanadaPGWP #IRCC #LenaMetlegeDiab #PortageCollege CIOT InternationalStudents CanadaImmigration StudyInCanada NonCreditPrograms AlbertaStudents
