Midwife's Canadian Dream Shattered
Description
Heather Gilchrist, a Scottish midwife, faced deportation after IRCC rejected her post-graduate work permit application, despite completing a bridging program at UBC. Despite spending $65,000 and meeting all requirements, Gilchrist was forced to return to Scotland. UBC claims they were unaware of policy changes, and BCs health minister called it a baffling bureaucratic mess. IRCC acknowledged the issue and plans to help future midwives stay, while UBC focuses on supporting current students.
