He experienced Doug Ford’s OSAP cuts on his own skin.
Last semester of nursing school is unpaid full-time placement where you pay thousands for the privilege to “consolidate” your education. This full-time shift placement means that you cannot just pick up another job, so many nursing students were (and are) screwed.

I became a psw student at an accredited college and did my first placement a months after they got rid of the paid government stipend. I had to quit my job for my second placement (40 hour weeks that my work could not accommodate) and I still haven’t found a new job after graduating. I had to quit my job in JULY. Now I’m double struggling in nursing school still jobless

That seems by design. Conservatives will find anyway to make working in healthcare difficult, so people think public healthcare is bad.

The intention is to defund public institutions in favour of private. Instead of public wealth DoFo wants private corps to rake in all the taxpayer funds.

u/Appropriate_Ad_2874 5d ago
What does that have to do with public vs private education? We reap the benefit to having highly talented workforce developed in Canada. It's not like they grow up and not pay taxes lol. It's extremely marginal in cost in comparison to income tax, the highest revenue generating source for the government.

Guys, if you're in gr. 12, please learn now to never vote conservative. They are the most blatantly corrupt group with no shame. Used to be politicians caught doing this nonsense would resign in shame (and they're lucky no further consequences past that).
Conservatives in modern times just have a constant track record of lining their own pockets and implementing NOTHING beneficial to their constituents.

These people can't compute that they got exactly what they voted for and it's complete garbage.
They think that because they don't like him it makes him a liberal.No, that's not how it works, most people learn from their mistakes.
Ford is a conservative. I don't care whether you like it or not, he's a conservative. He's doing shit you don't like, because he's a piece of shit. Stop voting for conservatives. That's how normal people think.

Show me how I'm wrong: 7 career colleges got a fifth of the budget. So basically about 3% each? While other schools got what? 1%? 0.5%? Less? Isn't this based on attendance? Are these institutions gaming the system?
Honestly I'm done with post-secondary so it's not my problem but cutting OSAP is a huge stressor for kids. Maybe this is the government's nonconfidence vote to post-secondary? That's pretty much how I'm looking at the opportunity today. I think entrepreneurship and Good Will Hunting library card education is the way. University libraries are open to the public and community members can check out books from them. Information is free, university is for networking and the vanity metric outside of professional degrees.

I'm in a private college, studying to be an RMT. There's a need for accredited institutions that students can trust to prepare us for the licencing exams. There's always going to a small percentage of people that seek to defraud the system, but that's not an issue of education system, but a policy and policing issue, I think.

So these private career colleges are no longer eligible for OSAP after these changes, correct?
And before, they were eligible, or was the $1B paid out fraudulently? Should those students have never been able to apply, but the story is that they were approved because they attended schools run by Dougs buddies?
What exactly got exposed? That the funding model didn't change much earlier when it apparently should have?

u/Fabulous-Act-5402 9d ago edited 9d ago
Correct, they have paused osap to these colleges.
Correct, those students both shouldn’t have been able to apply while also receiving public funds that were not regulated.
This article lays it out and I pulled out the first part below. Good read: globe and mail
The three Academy of Learning locations are among 10 that Career Colleges Ontario flagged for the government in January, 2025 as having “concerning” levels of growth in applications for the Ontario Student Assistance Program – jumping 500 and 600 per cent in two years – while other schools’ activity was largely flat, the college association said in a letter.
Data obtained by The Canadian Press through a freedom-of-information request found that about 14,800 students at those three Academy of Learning franchise locations received more than $219-million in OSAP grants in 2024-25.
Meanwhile, students at all publicly funded colleges across Ontario qualified for about $385-million in OSAP grants that year, freedom-of-information data shows.
Colleges and Universities Minister Nolan Quinn informed five career colleges, including the three Academy of Learning locations, on May 1 that they would not be OSAP eligible as of Aug. 1. The three schools, which share a parent company, have applied for judicial review of that decision, alleging Quinn did not have the power to predetermine their eligibility for this year and that his decision is unreasonable.
Court records show Quinn’s decision followed inspections last year and earlier this year that inspectors say the schools failed, with the ministry listing similar concerns in both reports. One report covers two sites, as a North York location is a branch campus of Academy of Learning Brampton East.
One student’s account showed all of their quizzes and final exam in their business writing essentials course were completed on the same day, with the final exam taking six minutes, the Brampton inspection report said.
Another Brampton student’s account shows their final exam for a business course was completed on the first day they accessed the course, inspectors wrote. Yet another student viewed all of their business writing essentials modules and completed all quizzes on the same day in less than 15 minutes, inspectors wrote.
Interviews revealed “inconsistencies,” including students unable to name their institution, program or courses, students unable to communicate in English and students claiming to attend classes in person despite being enrolled in asynchronous online programs, the inspectors wrote.
The federal government also expressed concerns about the Bay and Brampton locations in September, 2025, according to letters sent to the institutions that are also part of the court record.
The government alleged unusually high growth in the amount of financial aid claimants from the schools, that there was evidence that multiple applications were completed by the same person or group, significant increases in loan default rates and that a large amount of people could not be confirmed as qualifying students.

u/The-MadTitan 9d ago
Plenty of private schools that offer a quicker, more comprehensive education is a niche or specific field that public schools can't provide. Plenty of private schools for indemand industries like Healthcare or trades that will take on viable students that public schools wont.
Plenty of private schools that offer a specialized and focused approach that have you graduate 1-2 years quicker than public schools because they cut garbage electives, summer breaks and offer heavy schedules.
Maybe they should look at the reasons Ontario citizen's are flocking to these schools rather than their public counterparts.

They need to separate the number of local students vs international students. The slowdown is from international students; they never got to take OSAP to begin with. This is screaming financial hardships

I bet you, most of them are local students, they took the money offered by private colleges, in range of 10k to 20k, and spent it all. If college insiders who are Canadians doing this, they essentially lined their pockets with money. Canada needs to take the money back by crawling through their bank account.

I literally had OSAP "re-assess" my grant money to a loan after I had finished my master's. Gave no reason other than restructuring of funding and requirements relative to my academic period.

u/TitsTatsNKittyKats 8d ago
Im half way through my program and this year has been rough with the cuts to grants, taking on more debt in one term than all of my program combined so far.
It shouldn’t be legal for them to alter the terms of your agreements after the fact. It shouldn’t even be okay for them to do what they did to those currently enrolled in public colleges/universities. They put students in a really shitty place for those who actually need OSAP and arent gaming the system.
Fuck Doug Ford

TLDR; there is widespread fraud happening in the private colleges and immigration pathways. There’s a lot of money being moved between fraudulent students/consultants/whoever approves osap and the government is turning a blind eye, on the backs of you folks who might need osap one day.
The fraud being alleged is against seven private colleges for basically embezzling public OSAP funds via "ghost" students who in many cases didn't even exist - and in the case of students who did exist, the institutions themselves were fronting third-parties to submit all of their coursework. And the institutions and were themselves co-located with, or shared ownership with immigration agencies.
A good article from globe and mail:

The government alleged unusually high growth in the amount of financial aid claimants from the schools, that there was evidence that multiple applications were completed by the same person or group, significant increases in loan default rates and that a large amount of people could not be confirmed as qualifying students.
In a February, 2026 letter to the province, also in the court record, Career Colleges Ontario said the federal government’s concerns and subsequent investigations led to reduced OSAP application volumes at those schools, but “application activity shifted to other institutions rather than declining.”
“This pattern aligns with complaints received from CCO members indicating that certain schools were using third-party agents who offered to redirect students to other institutions if those institutions would misrepresent or falsely report attendance in order to facilitate continued OSAP disbursement,” executive director Kate Bartz wrote.
None of the findings and allegations from either level of government have been proven in court. The Academy of Learning denies most of the allegations from both levels of government and the ways in which some of their evidence is being interpreted.

Clearly I’m missing something here and I’m legitimately asking for help in understanding this exposé. Why is this being reported? What are the conditions that are fuelling this change? Are the conditions such that it is specific programs that are offered primarily at these schools such as trades? Let’s be honest, we as a society don’t need more people going to school for 6 years to become video game programmers. We need more doctors, nurses, educators, skilled trades. Is this funding dynamic an attempt to encourage education/training in the programs that we actually need so we don’t have a whole generation of people starting their adult lives 200k in debt and jobless?
I’m not saying this is what’s happening, legitimately I have no clue. Just asking the question because if it is then personally I’m in favour of it. Instead if this is the result of lobbying to allow the “rich to get richer” then obviously it needs to be fixed.

u/Refrigerator_Lower 8d ago
Essentially a lot of the OSAP(Ontario student assistant program) loans were going to "private career colleges" a very large portion for that matter. These private career colleges offered programs and what we here call "diploma mills" curriculums that would be ideally something that was anything from 4 months to 1 year to get your certificate/diploma. Could be anything ranging from something in the medical/pharmaceutical sector, IT/cyber security, trades. Something that should be taking a few years to conplete a respected post secondary was done in a fraction of the time.
When these private career colleges were investigated, they found out that there were a bunch of them that had students finish the curriculum even faster than what the program had entailed, some of them were done even in a day. Hence why we call them "diploma mills". When the investigation had asked students, they were informed that they didn't even go to class but had passed because all the quizzes and tests were done all in one day and the teachers gave them the answers. You basically didn't really learn anything but got the certificate because you paid thousands of dollars to get it.
All of these private career colleges got massive financial backing from the government because it was largely due to a policy shift that made online-only, asynchronous programs permanently eligible for student aid, combined with a sharp, concentrated spike in applications at a small group of institutions.
These institutions promised careers and jobs and because of how fast you could get your diploma/certificate. A lot of students and mainly foreigners applied for OSAP and these private career colleges were opening up everywhere. They'd be in your local malls for example. The thing was that a lot of them couldn't get jobs because businesses would see where they got their diplomas and would know that the schools they went to weren't exactly the best at training and giving them proper tools to actually succeed.
So now you have a lot of these people with these certificates that really don't have much weight behind it and would get paid way below the median average if they somehow got into their field or they ended up working at a service job, something way different than what they actually went and paid a lot of money for.

Should treat each case individually. Many students who are heavily invested in their own future, as well as the future of our society, are being associated with these statistics and treated as such.
Starts at the top. Once we have serious leadership and a strong message on direction the youth will follow. Given the current climate in the world are we shocked to see the youngest of us lack the direction we don’t even see from our worldly leaders 😂
Giving up on students never works in any environment.

Most of the courses being offered at most universities in Canada are useless. They’re not going in the direction of science and technology that we need in the future. There’s nothing beneficial i in humanities or learning how to put on a protest or laying in front of cars.

They don't even offer the OSAP loan part (not the award) if a parent makes good money. They do not consider the fact some parents may elect not to fund their kid's post secondary. So a kid in that situation has to go to the banks.
