Abhishek Parmar, a 25-year-old from India, faces uncertainty as a temporary resident in Canada, with his work permit expiring soon. After pursuing mechanical engineering at St. Clair College and spending over $80,000, he was laid off from two automotive jobs due to tariffs, jeopardizing his plans for permanent residency. With 2.1 million temporary residents potentially facing similar situations, many may have to return to their home countries despite efforts to secure PR. Immigration officials emphasize that temporary status does not guarantee permanent residency, and the future remains uncertain for many newcomers like Parmar.
