Fanshawe College

Fanshawe College in London, Ontario was founded in 1967 and teaches business, media, health, technology and skilled trades. Its business and media provision has historically drawn large international enrolment, which is precisely where the November 2024 work permit changes bite hardest. Business and management diplomas at college level are reported to be no longer eligible. For an applicant drawn to Fanshawe, the technology, health and skilled trades provision sits within fields reported to remain eligible at diploma level, and degree-level programmes carry no field restriction at all. London sits midway between Toronto and Detroit with living costs well below Toronto. Western University is in the same city, so both can be applied to and compared on what each qualification leads to rather than on price alone.
