When Muhammad Taimoor Haseeb graduated from McGill university in 2014 he had a job offer from Imperial Oil to work in their Sarnia refinery. The position paid $86,700/year with benefits, and pension, and access to the company’s savings plan.
The offer was withdrawn once the company found out Haseeb wasn’t a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. However he could work legally in Canada under a post-graduation work permit program built to attract international students.
