Ford\u2019s government wants to reserve close to all of Ontario\u2019s<\/span><\/a> available international student spots for pubic colleges and universities, which will alienate private career colleges.<\/p>\n

A plan was proposed to cabinet for deliberation, under which 96 per cent of foreign student applications would be allotted to Ontario\u2019s 24 public colleges and 23 universities, with the four per cent remainder going to language schools and private universities, among other receivers, as per sources.<\/p>\n

Applications will be prioritized for skilled trades, STEM, and childcare programs, with no school holding the ability to exceed its current permit numbers.<\/p>\n

The Ford administration is also looking at setting a ratio that would not allow the share of new international permits to get more than 55 per cent of any school\u2019s first year domestic enrolment.<\/p>\n

Colleges and universities must also guarantee that housing options are available for incoming international students.<\/p>\n
