OTTAWA — On Wednesday, Feb. 12, Algonquin College’s Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence (ACCE) hosted more than 50 industry partners for the seventh annual ACCE Networking Event.
Approximately 400 students had the valuable opportunity to meet, chat and pitch themselves to some of the most notable employers in the region, ranging from Hydro Ottawa and Thomas Cavanagh Construction Ltd. to Stantec Inc. and the DeWalt Industrial Tool Company. Past iterations of this event have helped ACCE students find exciting work opportunities straight out of graduation, leading to valuable work experience.

I want to provide an update on the College’s ongoing efforts following decisions made by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to cap international student study permits for 2024 to 2026, and its more recent announcement to reduce certain programs’ eligibility for Post-Graduate Work Permits (PGWP).
These decisions carry substantial consequences for the entire post-secondary education sector in Canada, and Algonquin College is not immune to the negative impacts. Together, the IRCC policy changes are creating unprecedented financial challenges for the College.
