Premier Doug Ford said Wednesday he'd like to see Ontario post-secondary institutions attended only by students from Ontario.
"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.
The federal government 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. Last week, the province said it would prioritize its newly reduced number of international undergraduate study permits to post-secondary institutions that offer in-demand programs, such as in the skilled trades
