“We are very mindful that this situation has been very stressful for many Northern College international students, We are grateful to have partnered with Centennial College to prepare enrolment options for affected students for the 2023/24 academic year.”

Craig Stephenson, president and CEO of Centennial College, said;

“When Centennial College learned about the situation at Northern College, we took action to see how we could help them support students who have made plans and sacrifices to attend college in Ontario.

Centennial is in a position to welcome a number of students who would otherwise have to cancel or delay their plans to start college in Ontario this fall, and we are working closely with [Canadian immigration platform] BorderPass, Northern College and our government partners to facilitate this solution for those who choose to pursue acceptance in an equivalent program and meet the criteria.”

He went further to inform the students that there won’t be any additional charges.

Northern College encouraged students who had not yet done so to contact BorderPass. According to BorderPass, students must respond by August 17 to be guaranteed consideration. BorderPass CEO, Sally Daub said; “Recognising the challenges these students have faced, we’re working closely with all stakeholders, including Canada’s dedicated government officials, to facilitate their journey towards studying in Canada.
