Sweden's recent decision to abolish the 'track changes' permit route for rejected asylum seekers has serious implications, as thousands, including families, may face deportation. This rule change, effective from April 1st, impacts not only new applicants but also those with pending work permit renewals. Many individuals, like trained midwife Mahshid Afshar from Iran, have expressed their desire to contribute to Swedish society, fearing the consequences of this decision amid labor shortages in healthcare. The lack of transitional rules exacerbates the uncertainty for those hoping to work legally in Sweden.
"I want to stay and contribute to Swedish society' Mahshid Afshar, from Iran, is a trained midwife... Why should people who are upgrading their education and skills be impacted by strict laws..."
"With the abolition of this rule, my situation has become much more difficult, and I am unsure what my future holds, said Afshar."
