Yanisa Kapetch, originally from Thailand, says her class was told they were required to campaign for candidate Tamara Jansen in lieu of in-class instruction at Pacific Link College.

Two international students formerly enrolled at Pacific Link College in Burnaby, B.C. allege their school compelled them to campaign for a federal Conservative candidate in a 2024 byelection. The college denies the allegation, telling CBC News it is politically neutral and participation was voluntary.
