Thank you to MP @SalmaZahid15 and the Canada-Palestine Parliamentary Friendship Group for raising this issue with Minister Lena Metlege Diab.
@LenaMetlegeDiab , when will these students finally be allowed to come to Canada?
Thank you @SalmaZahid15 for speaking up and standing with our students. The lack of urgency is unacceptable.
🎉Congratulations to Hend and Sally for graduating from @ontariotech_u with a Masters in Software Engineering!

From all of us at PSSAR, thank you to our supporters, faculty members, students, unions, and community partners who continue to stand with Palestinian students.
Thank you for standing with us. ❤️🇵🇸
These students deserve the opportunity to continue their education and build their futures. We will continue to call on @LenaMetlegeDiab to take immediate action.

Over 200 Jewish Canadians have signed our open letter calling on Immigration Minister Lena Diab and the Government of Canada to urgently facilitate the evacuation of Palestinian students in Gaza who have already been admitted to Canadian universities and colleges.
These students have secured admission, scholarships, and opportunities to continue their education. What many cannot secure on their own is a safe way out of Gaza and a workable path through Canada’s visa process.
Palestinian students should not be treated as a threat to Jewish safety simply because of their nationality.
Canada has the ability to give these students a path out of genocide and back into classrooms. It must do so.

Thank you @IndJewishVoices for supporting our students!
@LenaMetlegeDiab how many more organizations, MPs, faculty members, and Canadians need to speak up before you take action?
Plus de 200 Canadiens juifs ont signé notre lettre ouverte demandant à la ministre de l’Immigration, Lena Diab, et au gouvernement du Canada de faciliter de toute urgence l’évacuation des étudiants palestiniens de Gaza qui ont déjà été admis dans des universités et des collèges canadiens.
Ces étudiants ont obtenu leur admission, des bourses d’études et la possibilité de poursuivre leurs études. Ce que beaucoup d’entre eux ne peuvent obtenir par eux-mêmes, c’est un moyen sûr de quitter Gaza et une voie praticable pour franchir le processus d’obtention de visa canadien.
Les étudiants palestiniens ne devraient pas être considérés comme une menace pour la sécurité des Juifs simplement en raison de leur nationalité.
Le Canada a les moyens d’offrir à ces étudiants une issue au génocide et de leur permettre de retourner en classe. Il doit le faire.

Canada has shown it can decides quickly when it needs to. However, when it comes to Palestinian students that is not the case. PM @MarkJCarney how many more months do our students have to wait?
We demand that your government extend the same emergency pathways to Palestinian students fleeing conflict that have been made available to students from other conflict zones. We are not asking for anything more or less.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour Survivors of residential schools, the children who never returned home, and the families and communities who continue to carry the impacts of this history.
On Monday, September 28th, Kevin Gould representing the @FacultyJewish spoke at a press conference advocating for students in Gaza. The @CitImmCanada has treated Palestinian students as a security question for far too long and has caused unnecessary delays to their education.
"Canada has the ability to give these 130 students a path out of war and into a classroom" - Rabbi David, @IndJewishVoices
Jewish organizations alongside PSSAR representatives held a press conference calling out @CitImmCanada visa delays towards Palestinian students in Gaza.

If Spain can do it, why can’t Canada, @CitImmCanada?
Spain has evacuated 25 students from Gaza, after coordinating the evacuation of students three times over the past two years. If other countries can find a way to bring their students & support their education, Canada can too.
"We are not asking Canada for anything it hasn't already done for students in crisis. We are asking for the same consistency, the same transparency and the same urgency."
Students in Gaza have been waiting for more than 2 years for a response from the @CitImmCanada.
