“After strongly advocating to other levels of government, today’s announcement is a welcomed bridge towards rebuilding hope for all newcomers, many of whom are exploited international students who put their trust into the hands of immigration ‘consultants.’ Along with the creation of the Brampton Charter for International Students and the Residential Rental Licensing Pilot, protecting newcomers from scams and immigration fraud, and with legislation enforcing the standards for immigration consultants, many of the challenges faced by international students will be addressed. Brampton is fighting to protect their opportunity to thrive, not just survive.”
– Rowena Santos, Regional Councillor, Wards 1 & 5, Chair, Group Providers
