Award immigrant key workers with permanent residency after coronavirus crisis

Closed 373 signatures

What the petition asks

Once the Coronavirus crisis has subsided, all keyworkers in the UK who are currently immigrants must be awarded permanent residency in the country.
There are many thousands of immigrants currently working around the clock as key workers to protect British people and the British way of life in the NHS and the wider community. They deserve strong acknowledgement of their contribution to the nation and should be welcomed with open arms to stay as long as they want.
