Indian students in PEI hunger strike against deportation due to provincial immigration cuts.

Indian students in Canada's Prince Edward Island (PEI) are on a hunger strike, protesting against changes in provincial laws that have led to hundreds of them facing deportation. The students demand exemption from immigration cuts for those who arrived before July 2023, as the provincial government has reduced the number of workers eligible for permanent residency from 2,100 to 1,600 in 2024 and cut the number of people nominated for permanent residency through the Provincial Nominee Program by 25%.
