A group of migrant workers in Canada on the brink of illegally overstaying their welcome have gathered for a press conference to demand that they remain in the country. 

Just weeks after embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the government would be cracking down on immigration, members of the Naujawan Support Network shared a video insisting they will not back down. 

The group – which is made up of people from South Asian countries – are brazenly fighting against ‘unfair immigration policies’ after being ‘exploited’ by being granted work visas in Canada. 

Members of the Post Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) group within the network have been sitting out in an encampment 24-hours a day for 143 days to ‘protest against Canada’s exploitative immigration policies.’ 

The group took to social media on Monday to share that the PGWP committee made the ‘difficult decision’ to shut down the encampment in Brampton due to Trudeau’s resignation and the suspension of the country’s parliament until March.
