Ontario bans international students from medical school in 2026, reserves 95% spots for locals to address family doctor shortage.

Ontario will prohibit international students from enrolling in medical schools beginning in fall 2026, reserving at least 95% of spots for local residents, with a few for other Canadian students. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address a shortage of family doctors; approximately 2.5 million Ontarians lack one. An $88 million grant program will support 1,360 students who commit to practicing as family doctors in the province.
