The Indian high commission in Ottawa issued an advisory for Indian students affected by the abrupt closure of three institutions on Friday (local time). M College in Montreal, CED College in Sherbrooke, and CCSQ College in Longueil had reportedly filed for creditor protection, blaming their financial woes on the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) pandemic. Several Indian students enrolled in these colleges, which are all run by Rising Phoenix International Inc in Quebec, approached the high commission.
“The High Commission has been approached by several students from India who were enrolled in the three institutions run by Rising Phoenix International Inc…and who have been affected by the notice of closure of these institutions,” the advisory read.
The high commission stated that it has been in close contact with the federal government of Canada, the Quebec provincial government, and Canadian representatives from the Indian community to provide support to the affected students and to find a solution to the problem.
The Quebec government has advised affected students to contact the institutions where they are enrolled directly. Students should file a complaint with the Quebec province’s ministry of higher education if they have difficulty getting their fees reimbursed or transferred, according to the high commission.
The authorities are giving enrolled students who are already in Canada a grace period to seek admission to a different institution.
Before applying for admission or making any payments to such institutions, the high commission advised Indian students considering higher education in Canada to thoroughly check the credentials and standing of the institution.
“Please demand certificate of recognition by Canadian/ provincial government from the institutions and verify that the institution selected is included in the list of designated learning institutions published on the Government of Canada website,” it said.
