Ontario’s career-college sector warns the government about possible “suspicious” OSAP activity at a small number of campuses, according to documents reviewed by multiple outlets.
The Winnipeg Free Press and CityNews Toronto report that an association representing Ontario career colleges started sending warnings about the activity roughly three years ago. The documents describe concerns related to student financial aid usage through OSAP, but do not provide public detail in the reporting summaries about how many campuses were involved or what specific indicators prompted the concern.
The outlets characterize the warnings as internal communications from the sector to government officials rather than as final findings. One outlet emphasizes the timeline—warnings beginning about three years earlier—while both focus on the existence of documentation showing the association’s concerns. The reporting reflects that the issue involves alleged irregularities flagged by the sector, with further investigation or outcomes not fully outlined in the available summaries.
