A foreign student will be forced to leave Canada due to an administrative error during the renewal of her student visa, which was refused to her in the last days, thus leaving her without authorization to work and study.
“In the stress, I sent a bad document”, confided Camille Dantin on the airwaves of QUB radio.
When renewing his visa due at the end of August, last year’s Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) was sent rather than this year’s.
No answer was given to him after having made an official request for reconsideration on the site of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.
The complete file of the graduate with a bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts Education at Concordia University was supported by the deputy for her riding, Alexandre Boulerice, as well as by the English school FACE for which she has been working for more than a year. .
“You never feel like you’re good enough to stay here, and it’s pretty exhausting morally,” the 32-year-old said. It represents my whole life collapsing. If she returns to France, she will not be able to work in schools since it is a diploma only recognized in Quebec.
If the federal government refuses her reconsideration, she will have to apply for a visa for the next session. However, she will not be allowed to work in Canada once her studies are completed because a study break for international students is considered an offence.
The young student tells the tight throat that she hopes for a miracle. “I hope for pressure from the provincial to the federal as much as possible to obtain this study visa.”
