Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday he'd like to see Ontario post-secondary institutions attended only by students from Ontario.
Premier Doug Ford says he wants all spots in Ontario medical schools to be reserved for students from the province."In my opinion, and we will continue working with the ministry, get rid of the 18 per cent," he said at an announcement for a new medical school at York University.Ford then lamented the fact that some kids and parents have said some Ontario students study abroad and then do not return home after they meet someone.
Post-secondary institutions, especially colleges, in Ontario turned increasingly to international students after Ford's government cut tuition by 10 per cent in 2019 and froze it there. The federal government, meanwhile, announced earlier this year it would slash the number of international student permits it would hand out, with Ontario seeing its allotment cut in half.
