While housing is often cited as an issue for international students, Sabu had accommodations arranged. “Your offer for this program has been revoked for the following reason: no seats available in the selected intake,” said the email he received from Northern on Sept. That’s in addition to 500 admissions that were revoked in July for the September term. He was one of 211 international students – almost all from India – who had their acceptance to Northern College suddenly revoked for the January semester.
“I felt this was the college to (choose), but I never expected it to be in this chaotic situation.'
'The reason why I choose this program is because I found this college quite affordable when compared to the rest of the colleges,' Sabu said in an online interview from India.
Savan Sabu was excited to come to Northern College in Timmins in January to study supply chain management, a two-year program. A student from India has been left in a desperate situation after his admission to a college in northern Ontario was revoked a few months before he was to arrive in Canada.
