"I came here around 12 noon and the line was really huge. We put the application on the Internet and were told that an interview would be taken. But nothing like that happened. People are just coming here. I don't believe there is scope for jobs here. It is really tough," news portal The Economic Times quotes an applicant Agamvir Singh as saying.

However, Jagran English couldn’t independently verify the authenticity of the video.

Canada PG work permit

Canada, on September 18 introduced important changes to its Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) program, with implementation slated for November 1. These updates are expected to significantly affect international students who are looking to gain work experience in Canada after finishing their studies.

According to Immigration News Canada, the revised rules aim to simplify the process while ensuring that only students meeting specific qualifications can benefit from the work permit. New criteria include stricter language proficiency requirements and a focus on certain fields of study.

The upcoming PGWP regulations will tie eligible fields of study to occupations experiencing shortages in Canada. These fields include healthcare, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), trades, and agriculture. This marks a substantial shift in how Canada approaches post-graduation work permits, and the changes are likely to influence the decision-making process for future international students.
