UBC now says it can’t guarantee eligibility for any permit after the program, contradicting its own past assurances. Other graduates are being steered toward alternative pathways, while B.C. leaders publicly defend Gilchrist against deportation, calling the process baffling. She’s since returned home, but was later offered a time-limited permit tied to her job. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
