After 16 days of students protesting for 24 hours everyday, federal officials paused immediate deportations for international students and said they would conduct investigations to verify if the students were complicit in college admission scams that allegedly involved fraudulent documents and unscrupulous agents. “It’s a big responsibility to represent all international students,” he says. On Saturday, United Sikhs Canada held a seminar in Brampton to help ease some of their concerns; 13 Punjabi Sikh international students attended. “I had to reapply to the college when I realized it was a fake admission,” Sidhu says.
