“The biggest challenge for students is that they are left in a limbo period right now,” Bryn De Chastelain, chair of the“A number of them were hoping to be able to access this student service grant or some of the other student grants that were made available this year. We’ve been pushing for the federal government is to ensure that, leading into the fall semester, no student in Canada is left behind.
The federal government has yet to announce plans to relaunch the program, leaving students little time to accumulate hours to receive the grant or apply for alternate financial support packages before the fall semester. De Chastelain notes that the job market has “evaporated” for students thanks to the pandemic, leaving many in a “financial hole.”
He notes that some of the federal programs have left international and mature students ineligible for financial assistance.
Attention all millennials and far left dippers. If you want it - work for it.
That money was never going to be allocated to students anyway... I wouldn’t expect tax payers dollars to come in and save the day. Maybe go contribute and work this summer and pay taxes too! Canada is going to need all the help to drive this deficit engine we can get!
This could’ve been rolling out weeks ago if we didn’t have such a fauxscandal and if the CPC_HQ weren’t running around with their hair on fire.
I hope a program comes through soon! JustinTrudeau pitter patter. You wasted months creating WEscandal when public servants should have been rolling it out. On. Time.
