New permits for foreign students plunge 97 per cent as Conestoga College braces for impact
Conestoga’s pipeline of fee-paying foreign students has collapsed with a 97 per cent reduction in students from abroad receiving new approvals to attend.
The federal government approved just 540 new international study permits for the Kitchener-based community college between January and June, according to new data released to The Record.
That’s down from 17,600 new study permits approved in the same months in 2023.
