Show Notes
Heather Gilchrist, a Scottish midwife with a masters degree and ten years of experience, faces deportation from British Columbia after immigration officials denied her post-graduate work permit. Shes been working in Victoria for seven months, but received notice that her status expired and she has ninety days to leave. The issue arises from her qualification in UBCs Internationally Educated Midwives Bridging Program, which immigration claims doesnt qualify for a permit. British Columbia leaders are urging Ottawa to rethink the decision, as her exit disrupts care for hundreds of families and contributes to growing wait lists.
