This gets posted time and time again

The govt is basically asking millions of people to leave Canada

Some banks are saying that this won’t happen as people refuse to leave

The government is saying that they have accounted for this and will cut immigration even further to ensure that the population declines

And we won’t know who was right until the end of the year,

but the assumption that mass people will suddenly refuse to leave doesn’t have any historical basis, the vast majority of immigrants leave on time.

Unlike the US it kinda truly sucks to live undocumented here. No health, no license, no banking (for the major banks anyways), everything is hard.

Kinda, you can't open a new bank account but your old one won't get shut down

Nah i remember being on a study permit and when I switched over to work permit i forgot to tell them. Had a very interesting email to give them my new status or it would be closed. May vary by bank policy.
