Colleges Ontario is the advocacy voice for the province's 24 colleges.

Open letter: Urgent need for strategic investment in Ontario’s post-secondary education system.

Ontario’s public colleges welcome the federal government’s update to the post-graduation work permit (PGWP) eligibility criteria for graduates of college bachelor’s and master’s degree programs. International students in these programs will no longer be subject to the PGWP field of study requirement and will now be eligible for a PGWP upon graduation.

Ontario’s economy faces significant challenges from evolving international threats, underscoring the urgent need to prioritize workforce development. Building a resilient labour force is essential to sustaining the province’s communities and ensuring long-term economic prosperity.

Ontario’s public college graduates were celebrated during an incredible evening at the 2024 Premier's Awards gala on Nov. 25 in Toronto, recognizing seven exceptional alumni who have made outstanding contributions to their fields and communities.
