Enrolment at Canadore College is down from projections done before COVID-19, but officials are still pleased with the fall numbers.

2,196 students are enrolled in North Bay and West Parry Sound.

That is 161 less than projected.

“Our employees have put in a tremendous effort to make sure our business of teaching and learning continues,” said Canadore President George Burton in a release.  “We will stay vigilant to a positive year despite the circumstances.”

International student registration in North Bay is down by 30%, primarily as a result of the border restrictions put in place at the start of the pandemic that limited access to Canada.

The federal government is beginning to relax some of those restrictions, and the College is looking for those numbers to go up.

“We are planning for the numbers to improve in North Bay for the winter term,” said Burton.  “We hope to make up the domestic shortfall in the winter term as well.”
