Ottawa Now - Ontario projected to lose more than one-third of International student population

May 8, 2026

Ontario is set to lose more than 33 percent of the International student population because of Canada’s student permit cap. It was introduced by the Trudeau Liberals in January of 2024. And according to a new report from Statistics Canada, it unsurprisingly led to a sharp decline in new International students, as well as a more moderate drop in overall enrollment. What does this all mean for Canadian universities? More importantly, how does it impact their reputation as educational leaders? Kristy Cameron digs deeper with Rob Kristofferson, the President of the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.

SaltWire entered creditor protection in 2024 shortly before being acquired by American-owned media conglomerate Postmedia. That same month, the Telegram shifted from daily to weekly distribution, and Postmedia announced...

I WAKE FULLY RESTED, not a hair out of place. Pushing off my leopard-print duvet, I gingerly hop out of bed, onto a floor immaculate beyond conception. I do a couple of crunches (I love exercise) before heading downstairs to prepare breakfast for my three beautiful children. I’m late for work—I can sense the plants wilting as I step out the door.

You’re right to be suspicious. This woman,...
