Academy of Learning (Ontario franchise locations)

Private career college whose Ontario schools operate as franchises. Four of its Ontario locations were told on May 1, 2026 that they would lose OSAP eligibility as of Aug. 1, 2026; three of them (Bay Street in Toronto, Brampton East, and its North York branch campus), which share a parent company, are challenging that decision in court. The schools deny most of the ministry's allegations, and none have been proven in court.
