Nov 27, 2024 - Is your immigration permit expired?

When: November 27, 6:30pm

If you have an expired or expiring immigration permit (post-graduate, LMIA, employer-sponsored, spousal, closed, student, refugee or undocumented) or your hearing has been denied, sign up to get more information about your rights and immigration options.

You are not alone! By the end of 2025, more than 1.2 million work permits will expire. Already, many of us are struggling. Some are being fired, laid off or working for cash because of expired or expiring permits. We don't get healthcare and we are separated from our families.

Nov 26, 2024 - Fighting Far-Right Populism

When: Tuesday, November 26th, 7pm

Far-right populism and climate denial are on the rise globally. Anti-science politicians are preying on the economic anxieties of working people but, once elected, they cut climate policies, gut public services, scapegoat marginalized communities, and turn the keys of power over to the corporate elite.

Join 350 Canada to hear from organizers in the US, the UK, and Canada about the lessons they have learned fighting far right populism in recent elections.
