Ontario’s student loan program is under fire after shocking spikes in applications at career colleges triggered an investigation, with one school seeing a 2,700% jump in two years—raising alarms about fraud and misuse. The government responded by slashing grants and tightening OSAP rules, blaming “out-of-control growth” at private schools, though critics say students are paying the price for delayed action. Three Academy of Learning campuses now face legal challenges, claiming compliance while being blocked from aid; the ministry insists oversight is strong and vows new laws to restore trust. Career Colleges Ontario urged police referrals but declined to reveal details, leaving many questions unanswered. The government promises zero tolerance for abuse and plans fall reforms to safeguard public funds and ensure OSAP remains fair for all.
