Ontario's colleges are committed to providing students of all backgrounds with a rewarding postsecondary experience that prepares them for long-term success in their careers. In recent years, colleges have expanded their global outreach as greater numbers of international students enrol in Ontario. The province is a recognized world leader in post-secondary education and the colleges' tremendous success attracting international students is pivotal to Ontario's long-term prosperity. This document builds on the ongoing strengthening of programs and supports for all students by establishing a common set of minimum standards for international student activity. The standards build on existing practices and the legislative and policy framework and quality assurance mechanisms that guide all college activities. The goal of these standards is to support the well-being of international learners to enhance their opportunities for academic and personal success.
