New college standards to strengthen programs for international students
Ontario’s colleges have today released a new set of common sector-wide standards to strengthen the programs and supports for international students.
The standards build on existing programs and services and cover everything from the marketing of programs in other countries to targeted assistance to help students adapt to life in Ontario.
Twenty-three public colleges have signed on to begin the compliance process immediately. Each signatory college’s commitments include:
Ensuring the marketing of programs to international students is accurate and transparent.
Requiring international agents working for Ontario’s colleges to have completed a sector-endorsed agent training program.
Ensuring information on services, supports and facilities are provided to students before they arrive in Ontario and once they are in the province. This would include information on mental well-being, student housing and employment opportunities.
Providing targeted assistance to help international students adjust to a new environment.
