Ontario Student Housing Deliveries Set to Reach Record in 2026

Ontario is projected to deliver 6,313 student housing beds in 2026, the largest year on record and roughly 2.5 times the 2015-2025 annual average, with the Greater Toronto Area accounting for 43% of provincial deliveries while 70,450 total beds remain under construction or proposed across the province. National post-secondary enrollment has declined due to federal study permit restrictions, with college permits dropping 73% between 2023-24 and 2025-26, though Ontario universities have maintained domestic enrollment growth offsetting international student losses.
