Confusion reigns as Canada turns away American students

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

American students accustomed to easy access to Canadian campuses face unprecedented obstacles to continuing their education as the nation’s borders remain all but closed due to the coronavirus.

Visas once processed in weeks are taking months to secure. Students have been asked to prove that their physical presence is essential — no matter that campuses and dormitories are open even as learning shifts online.

“It’s a mess,” said Christopher Collette, an immigration attorney at Campbell Cohen in suburban Montreal.

The impending school year creates a conundrum for the Canadian government — and for some 500,000 international college students and thousands more who are younger.

2. Ummm....

Most of these students would not have been old enough to vote in 2016, so how is it THEIR fault?

6. Elections have consequences to EVERYONE in a society.

Maybe it will motivate them to vote in this one.

3. Darn it, their lives must really be rough nowadays.

Hope it works out for those poor immigration attorneys.

4. Canada is being smart.

Given what they have seen so far from the attempts to reopen American universities.

5. And lets face it, other countries don't want to let us in because we have a high rate of infection.
