Abhishek Parmar has spent more than six years making Windsor-Essex his new home. But now he is one of the 2.1 million temporary residents who may have to leave Canada this year.
“I have never even thought of leaving this place," he said. "And now, things are coming to an end. It is not a good feeling."
