Some students were weeks away from graduation when they learned they would not be able to complete their studies as planned.
For the many international students attending these colleges, the closures mean their immigration status as well as their graduation are now in limbo.

The Quebec education ministry would not give details on why it had not renewed the permits, but said it had communicated with students about alternative ways to finish their studies.
The provincial immigration ministry confirmed that international students will need to submit a new request in order to keep their status, but said the processing of their request would be adapted to the situation.
are the canadians’ who went there in the room with us.. that looked to be almost all immigrants.. I wonder why these places lost their licenses … most likely paper mills for foreigners to get fake degrees.. they are upset now because if they have to go to real colleges they will fail anyhow
Private college, enough said.
