TORONTO — Ontario will prioritize its newly reduced number of international undergraduate student study permits to post-secondary institutions that offer in-demand programs such as in the skilled trades, child care and health care, the province said

Wednesday.

"We have been working with post-secondary institutions to ensure international students are enrolled in the programs to support a pipeline of graduates for in-demand jobs.” Ontario's budget this week indicated that the lost international student revenue in the college sector, whose finances show up on the province's books, will total about $3 billion over two years.

The federal government's student visa changes have already resulted in the"collapse" of the spring cohort at public colleges, and there will be a"severe impact" on the fall term with revenue losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars, Evans said. Universities are being responsible in their recruitment and management of international students, said Steve Orsini, president of the Council of Ontario Universities.
