Abhishek Parmar has spent more than six years making Windsor-Essex his new home. But now he is one of the 2.1 million temporary residents who may have to leave Canada this year.
“I have never even thought of leaving this place," he said. "And now, things are coming to an end. It is not a good feeling."
The 25-year-old arrived in Windsor-Essex in 2019 from India to pursue mechanical engineering technology at St. Clair College. After having spent more than $80,000 on tuition and living expenses, Parmar said he landed a job at an automotive company in LaSalle. He filed for permanent residence (PR) in 2024 with an Ontario immigration pathway.
“Then the news of tariffs hit and I was laid off,” he said. “Then I worked in another automotive company in Windsor, and again, I was laid off after a couple of months because of tariffs.”
He found a similar role again, he said. But it meant his dreams of getting PR via the provincial immigration pathway fell through as it was linked to his employment.
“I completely lost everything regarding PR, on a whim,” he said. “It was heartbreaking.”
Parmar’s work permit expires mid-March. Now his plans of making Windsor his forever home, starting a business and buying his first house here are on hold.

Carney is way to busy trying to put together a New World Order with the Chinese Communist Party to worry about Indians that get $ 4000 taxpayer dollars a month
Meanwhile, WEXIT is leaving Canada.
Alberta is said to be expelling illegals at present
“2.1 million temporary residents will have expired or expiring permits this year. But will they leave Canada?”
Wild guess - no.
There is another reason.
Indians came to Canada because they could not come to America. They were unfit. Canada got the second best’s, the dregs of the Bahamian barrel
Check this out..... you might be wrong, at least for Calgary
Alberta

I bet the “barrel “ is mostly dregs...and worse. Go home. Make India great “again” (for once).
If you get tons of phone scam calls you can thank the Indians
Parmar doesn’t mind stealing jobs from Canadians
The only type of Asian Indian is a Dalit or a Thuggee. That’s it. Millions and millions of them.
The guy has lived on $80K in 6 years. That’s a huge boost to the economy. Not.
The headline gave me the biggest laughing jag I have had since Hillary lost.
They will never leave. No one wants to be in India
No human being is illegal.
Indians go to US Consulates in Canada to try to get a US Visa because the US Embassy in India wouldn’t give them one but Canada gave them one. They then go Consulate shopping in Canada (the US has at least 8 Consulates in Canada) if one doesn’t give them the visa thinking that the offices in Canada don’t talk to each other. I saw an Indian get caught at this in Halifax.
*crickets*
1st point, it was not “a whim” — the conditions of your work Visa require that you go. You accepted that when you signed up.
2nd, interesting parallel. Back before 2019 Italy did a similar program where they let in loads of Chinese so they could cheapen their leather workforce — fire the Italian natives and replace. Then, when late 2019 rolled around those Chinese workers visited home. Home of most was Wuhan, China.
That region in Italy was first place where the WuhanFlu was confirmed — right after the new leather workers came back to work.
Canadians would never think about moving to the Garbage Dump India so why is the Canadian Government bringing Indians to Canada ,to turn it into a Garbage Dump ?
“No human being is illegal.” In the context of this subject, this comment is meaningless. What’s your point?
The answer to the question is no
