Red River College Polytech (RRC) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, has announced significant cuts to its programs due to a decline in international student enrolment. The institution is permanently discontinuing seven certificate and diploma programs, including hospitality business management and professional photography, while temporarily halting four others and reducing capacity in three programs. The decision is attributed to changes in federal policies regarding international student intake, which have affected multiple schools across Canada, leading to financial instability. RRC Polytech emphasized that current students will receive support to complete their studies despite these changes. The broader impact is felt across Manitoba, with institutions like the University of Winnipeg and Brandon University also experiencing enrolment declines. In response to these financial pressures, the University of Manitoba plans to increase tuition by four percent next year. The Manitoba government is committed to assisting post-secondary institutions, with a budget allocation of $882.6 million for operating funding in 2026.
