Two private colleges can resume classes immediately after Quebec’s administrative tribunal suspended on Tuesday the province’s decision not to renew their permits, throwing a lifeline to hundreds of international students.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, several hundred students were left in the lurch after the sudden closure of the Coll\u00e8ge Sup\u00e9rieur de Montr\u00e9al and its sister campus, the Coll\u00e8ge Sup\u00e9rieur de Sherbrooke. <\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Quebec’s Education Ministry had said the ministry would not renew the permits because the institution had failed to meet certain requirements. In an emailed statement Tuesday, the ministry said it would not comment due to ongoing legal proceedings. <\/p>\n

Noureddine Hajibi, the colleges’ executive director, welcomed the order in a statement, saying it is “excellent news for our students.” <\/p>\n

“Our priority has always been to protect their academic journey and prevent them from suffering the consequences of a rushed and unjustified decision by the Education Ministry,” Hajibi said. <\/p>\n
