New response from the government of Ontario. They will be requiring the colleges and universities to provide all international students guaranteed first year housing.
The PSE institutions are going to be scrambling to able to get all these new requirements including the one for letters of attestation ready by September. The colleges that were poised for spring admissions in May (which are predominantly international students) most likely won’t be able to. Universities have far lower intake outside of the traditional Fall start in September so will have more time to adapt.
Still no word on how they plan to make up for the lower funding the schools will have as a result of lower international student enrolment.
