Ontario's colleges are experiencing a significant decline in international student enrolment following federal government restrictions on study permits. Introduced less than two years ago, the cap on international students has led to roughly a 50-per-cent reduction in overseas enrolments, affecting colleges more severely than universities. Recent data obtained via freedom of information laws indicates that as of mid-2025, colleges were using only 46 per cent of provincial attestation letters (PALs) to attract students, compared with 82 per cent used by universities. Visa approval rates for international students have fallen by 46 to 68 per cent, further reducing college enrolments. For example, Conestoga College could issue 19,885 offer letters but enrolled only 4,469 students, while Seneca College issued 9,542 and enrolled just 2,380. Experts cite the removal of postgraduate work permit options as a key factor, limiting graduates' career prospects in Canada. Colleges, which are often geared toward direct labour-market entry, are particularly affected, while universities maintain broader international appeal. The decline in international tuition—previously accounting for about a third of college revenue—has created financial strain, prompting campus closures, layoffs, and adjustments to tuition and student loans. The provincial government has responded with increased funding, including a long-term model adding $6.4 billion to post-secondary institutions and raising operating funding from $5 billion to $7 billion annually.
