Confederation College and Georgian College have each made changes to their programming in response to the impacts of the federal government’s international student cap. Confederation suspended admissions for six programs in the winter term and will pause admissions for four programs in the spring/summer term. Georgian suspended some program intakes and reduced the number of sections in other programs to address lower international enrolment. Additionally, Georgian removed 86 roles through layoffs, voluntary retirements, and vacancy closures, bringing the total number of impacted full-time positions to 229. “None of these decisions have been made lightly, but out of necessity of our financial situation,” said Georgian President Kevin Weaver.
