The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) reports that approximately 10,000 job losses have occurred across Ontario's college system following federal caps on international study permits.
These cuts affect faculty, support staff, and administrators throughout the province.
The job reductions stem from significant revenue shortfalls as colleges grapple with decreased international enrollment, which previously provided crucial funding amid stagnant provincial support.
OPSEU President JP Hornick described the situation as "devastating" for college staff, with institutions now cancelling programs and reducing course offerings to manage financial constraints.
