OSAP FAIRNESS / ONTARIO

Students should not pay for a blanket pause.

Ontario has paused OSAP payments associated with private postsecondary institutions during an audit. Students deserve clarity, continuity, and a fair path forward.

FAIRNESS FOR STUDENTS 01 / 04

THE CONTEXT Ontario's October 6, 2026 announcement paused OSAP payments associated with private postsecondary institutions while an audit proceeds.

01THE ISSUE

A broad pause. Real consequences.

On October 6, 2026, Ontario announced a pause on OSAP payments associated with private postsecondary institutions while an audit proceeds. Oversight matters. So does the effect of an immediate, broad pause on students who planned their education around that support.

Different institutions and programs should be assessed on their own facts. Students should not be left without clear answers while that work continues.

OUR POSITION

Investigate concerns. Protect students. Apply fair, evidence-based decisions.

02THE ASK

Accountability and fairness can coexist.

We are calling on Ontario's Premier and government to protect students while investigating concerns in the sector.

01 /

Protect current students

Provide an immediate, practical path for students whose expected aid has been interrupted.

02 /

Assess institutions individually

Use clear, evidence-based criteria that recognize differences across private postsecondary institutions.

03 /

Publish a clear timeline

Explain what happens next, when decisions will be made, and how students can get reliable updates.

THE HUMAN IMPACT

Behind every application is a student with a plan.

Tuition, housing, transportation, and family responsibilities do not pause while a policy is reviewed. This space is ready for student stories and additional campaign copy as they are gathered and verified.
