Important Update for Our International Students

We’ve received official notice from the Ministry of Colleges and Universities that, due to changes in federal policy and a reduced provincial allocation, The Culinary Arts School of Ontario will not be receiving new international study permit application allocations for 2025.

What does this mean for you?

✅ If you are already enrolled and have a valid study permit — you are not affected. Your program will continue as planned.
✅ If you are in a program that does not require a study permit (under 6 months in length) — you are also not affected.

However, we will not be able to accept new international students for programs that require a study permit until further notice. This includes students currently living outside Canada who wish to apply to our Sous Chef or Professional Chef Diploma programs.

We understand this may be disappointing, and we want to assure you that we are here to support our current students every step of the way.

If you have any questions or would like to explore alternative options, please don’t hesitate to email us directly.

We will continue to keep our students updated as we receive more information from the province.
