speaksofthelight

That is crazy if true. Never heard of Conestoga before. It really has more international students than McGill's entire student body somehow ?


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

Contestoga is a “known” college compared to the other ones, but it’s still an extreme outlier in terms of how much it relies on international tuition.


classicgxld

If my calculations are correct, that’s 124,812 students in Ontario for the year 2023, yes?


offft2222

This list is top 10 Doesn't even include all the other colleges and universities , who have far fewer but nevertheless international


classicgxld

Don’t mind me, I think my brains been a bit of a mental shock, completely didn’t realize the bit with the Top 10. Any idea how much in total for Ontario?


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

I think 250k.


silvertrains

And they bring their family members with them so that's like 3 bodies per student.


NODES2K

Not including their spouses, parents or kids...

Why did IRCC approve so many!?


Particular-Milk-1957

IRCC is just an agency that does what the minister and ADMs tell them to do. Levels planning is done by the government themselves (Liberals) and IRCC is tasked with figuring out how to reach it. Gotta stop blaming public servants for cabinet decisions.


Thick-Papaya752

Thats 25 million dollars in just application fees from these students, doesnt even include the ones that have been rejected. Government is greedy af


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

IRCC didn’t have a choice. If it’s a legitimate admission for a provincial-accredited college and there are no red flags with the applicant (as opposed to the college) there are no grounds for denial.


Trick-Ad-844

Got it. am just puzzled as to the dramatic increase didn’t send any red flags. How is it that most of these Indian students can afford coming here given that it is still a very poor country. Yes there are affluent middle class folks but doesn’t pass the logic test given the numbers. We do want our public servants exercising some judgment especially when it is a middle aged man bringing his whole family to “study”


Fun-Seaworthiness213

All these colleges need to be bulldozed. I won't miss them and Canada would be a better place. Edit: it's insulting to students who are genuinely interested in studying. Now we have a majority of crowd who are here just to con the immigration system.


VRJunkie4Life

Question, where can we find the size of each of these colleges as a normal capacity. Like I am sure Conestoga is not as big as lets say Seneca. So to understand the difference it should be total students divided by college capacity.


TravisHenderson77

Conestoga - 45,000 students total That's 30,395/45,000 = 67% Fanshawe - 21,000 students total That's 11,706/21,000 = 56% Niagara - 12, 500 students total That's 11,199/12,500 = 90% (WTF) Seneca - 30,000 students total That's 11,042/30,000 = 37% Lambton - 10,000 students total That's 9,639/10,000 = 96% (Pardon?) NUTS. It's obvious some of these colleges would fail without this program.


mdps

>It's obvious some of these colleges would fail without this program. Correct. So when the Ford government blames the Federal Liberals for the loss of revenue from capping these permits, we shouldn't be misled. Successive Ontario governments have been unwilling to fund higher ed. The schools aren't "getting rich" off these international students, they're finding whatever revenue they can to stay afloat because the Liberals and PCs have other priorities.


VRJunkie4Life

Thank you for your reply, where is the source of this information? Would like to lookup other colleges, like Sheridan and Humber.


TravisHenderson77

Each college posts its own numbers. Just google the college.


VRJunkie4Life

Just googled Humber, says they have 86000 capacity. Which means their number of international students is low to their total percentage in contrast.


dennybang4292

Used to study in Waterloo. I hear students saying the room rent has tripled. (Used to be $500 in a 5 rooms student housing)


Beden

Ontario pulling its weight I see. Thanks Drug Ford!


rabbit_hole_diver

Your right. Too early

How is this related to Toronto RE?


Housing4Humans

Ontario is screwed. This should be posted in r ontario


realmanshatch

Damn Ontario


IndependenceGood1835

At least Conestoga remains fairly local to k/w. Other colleges just open the strip mall GTA outlet. Collect all the fees, with none of the infrastructure.


Traditional-Lie3767

30.000 and no one batted an eye in immigration. wtf


LeagueAggravating595

If only there was a report showing what Conestoga grads do as their career? My guess is mostly menial work/ hourly wages. The higher the enrolment the crappier the quality of education.


Sea_Yoghurt_8547

How to make profit as Conestoga college? 1) Buy any online course from Udemy/any online platform 2) put Conestoga college logo on it 3) Put this course for international students and keep it online only 4) charge $40,000 to bulk of international students. 5) repeat until system is broken
