Protesters are set to gather today in front of a private college in Montreal to protest its closure after its permit was not renewed by the Quebec government.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Coll\u00e8ge sup\u00e9rieur de Montr\u00e9al is among four private colleges in the province that saw their permit suspended in recent weeks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some students were weeks away from graduation when they learned they would not be able to complete their studies as planned.<\/p>\n
For the many international students attending these colleges, the closures mean their immigration status as well as their graduation are now in limbo.<\/p>\n
The Quebec education ministry would not give details on why it had not renewed the permits, but said it had communicated with students about alternative ways to finish their studies.<\/p>\n
The provincial immigration ministry confirmed that international students will need to submit a new request in order to keep their status, but said the processing of their request would be adapted to the situation.<\/p>\n
