00:01Canada Work Permit Delays
00:04What's happening to thousands of migrants?
00:09They came to build new lives, but now thousands of migrants in Canada are caught in a devastating limbo.
00:17With work permits expiring and no word from immigration authorities,
00:21legal residents are slipping into undocumented status, losing jobs, health care and hope.
00:28Is Canada's immigration system failing the very workers it once welcomed?
00:48In today's video update, we cover how legal workers are losing their status due to delays in LMIA and work permit renewals,
00:57the mounting political pressure and system overload and the deepening impact on employers and families.
01:07Watch till the end to understand the full scope of this crisis and what solutions are being called for to protect workers and stabilize the system.
01:16Let's begin with legal workers losing status, a growing concern as delays push compliant individuals out of status.
01:33Migrant workers like Devi Acharya legally arrived and contributed to the Canadian economy.
01:42Now, due to processing delays, they face life without health care, income or legal protection, despite doing everything right.
01:51Next, we look at delays in LMIA and work permit renewals, examining how bureaucratic slowdowns are disrupting lives and livelihoods.
02:03Renewal requests sit unanswered for months.
02:10LMIA applications from March are still pending in December, creating a domino effect of expired permits and blocked access to public services.
02:20Moving on to political pressure and system overload, we explore how government strain is contributing to immigration backlogs.
02:29Canada now hosts over 3 million temporary residents, up from 300,000 a decade ago.
02:40Politicians are reacting to public backlash with stricter policies, pushing the system to its breaking point.
02:46Now, we discuss the employer and family impact, highlighting the ripple effects on businesses and households alike.
02:56Families are suffering in silence, children out of school, medical emergencies untreated.
03:05Employers, too, are losing trusted workers amid mounting uncertainty, with no clear solution from Ottawa.
03:13Finally, we wrap up with conclusion, reflecting on the urgent need for reform to protect workers and restore system efficiency.
03:21What began as a dream is spiraling into despair. Unless swift reform comes, Canada risks losing not just migrant trust, but its humanitarian image on the global stage.
