Organizers set up for a protest at an international students' encampment in Brampton, Canada, on September 28, 2024. The encampment is in its 30th day and protests the Canadian government's December 2023 decision to stop offering extensions to international students' post-graduate work permits, which they say forces them to consider moving to the US, applying for refugee status, or applying for a costly labour market impact assessment document allowing employers to hire foreign workers.
