No one can tell you. Contestoga has the most international students, has been criticized for it and will receive fewer PALs. Ontario is prioritizing PALs to certain programs so all you can do is wait. The government spefically mentions Contestoga in their news release as a college that will receive less.

No numbers have been posted but Contestoga will be receiving less than other colleges. The school is really blacklisted. But as the college stated

“Our allocation was set at less than 50 per cent of our current international enrolment. With this news, we will assess the enrolment and operational impacts and communicate more as details become available.”

• Ontario institutions international student count cannot exceed a ratio of 55% of the institution’s 2023 1st-year domestic enrolment.

So this really impacts Contestoga because their first year enrolment is about 80% international.

Web development for the September intake got LOA on 29th January. Waiting for PAL. Paid one-year fees. People in the May intake got their PAL in March. For September intake yet to get started I believe there are others also. At the same time, people who enrolled on late January when the slot got filled had got mail for alternative programs and they have chosen other programs in the list. I reached out college a few times and got basic updates, not a direct update why the course-specific response. Note that as the courses under STEM are valid for PAL we will get it. But it’s the question of ‘when’. Kind of worried as the time is passing. What about your case? which campus?

 

[Dhruvp4938]

Nothing much just like your case only mine is waterloo campus have you attended the webinar which was held on 25th may regarding PAL. Give me your any social media handle from where we can interact easily.

 

[Mary Jain]

Yes. Why asked? Also when you got your LOA?
