WINNIPEG — A post-secondary institute in Manitoba is winding down operations, blaming a federal cap on international student visas for making its “financial model unsustainable.”
The Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology says it has seen an international enrolment drop of more than 55 per cent.
Ottawa has issued a cap on the number of international student visas it provides, which has prompted colleges and universities across the country to warn it has put them in a tighter financial bind.Â
Data from the school’s 2024 annual report says it has more than 4,600 students.
It provides certificates and diplomas in a range of fields, including culinary arts, carpentry and early childhood education, as well as high school courses.Â
A memo posted on the school’s website says that selected programs will be transferred to Red River College Polytech over the course of the next year.Â
