Cutting funding to this tried and true program will leave our immigrants to struggle and probably fail in terms of employment, which will take away from Canada's economic success.

Withholding these supports will only contribute to negative issues with both students, instructors and employers. Mental health and emotional wellbeing is the primary issue which will trickle down to financial well being.

Despite changes to the Federal Government's mandate on allowing international students to access education in Canada, there will still be a need for the Linc programs as not all immigrants gain access to Canada via student visas, but the majority of immigrants gaining access to Canada will still require language education to become contributing members in Canadian society. This move to end the Linc program is short sighted and not based on the reality of the situation.
