22nd Jan 2025: Centennial College in Toronto has announced it will suspend 49 programs, a 28% reduction from its previous offering of 177 programs. The decision comes as the college faces challenges due to the federal government’s cap on international study permits.
Programs affected include fields such as fashion business, tourism, construction project management, journalism, and advanced television and film. Students currently enrolled in these programs will still be able to complete their studies and graduate.
College President Craig Stephenson informed staff that this move could lead to staff reductions, as the college expects international student enrolments to drop by 43% between the summer of 2024 and winter of 2025.
