Risking expulsion, French EMSB teachers will be able to stay in Canada

Educators were denied work permit renewals over winter break, leaving their students without instructors when they returned to class.

The teachers were part of a special recruitment program aimed at addressing the shortage of teachers in French immersion programs.

An EMSB spokesperson told CTV News that teachers should be back in the classroom before the end of the month.

For EMSB, the program was a success and they thanked the government for working to resolve the situation.
