About LearnOntario

Clear, student‑first guides for studying and living in Ontario.

LearnOntario is a practical resource that helps applicants and students navigate Ontario programs, admissions timelines, campus life, and essential student services—without the fluff. Our goal is simple: make decisions easier with clear steps, real examples, and links to official sources.

What we cover (Ontario‑focused)

  • Colleges & programs in Ontario — how to research fit, compare intakes, and understand prerequisites.
  • Applications & timelines — OCAS/OUAC basics, required documents, offer types, deferrals, and common mistakes.
  • Student services — health card (OHIP eligibility for those who qualify), transit passes, libraries, and campus resources.
  • Housing & campus life — residence vs. off‑campus basics, moving checklists, neighborhood tips.
  • OSAP and institutional aid (overview) — where to check eligibility and deadlines (we always link to official pages for the latest rules).
  • Checklists & templates — printable to‑dos for admission season, pre‑arrival, orientation week, and semester planning.

We keep LearnOntario focused on Ontario education topics. Broader newcomer finance or immigration deep‑dives live elsewhere and are not the focus of this site.

How we write

  • Official‑first: we start with college and government pages, then translate the details into plain language.
  • Actionable: short steps, “what to do next,” and examples students can copy.
  • Time‑stamped: each guide shows a last‑updated date; policies change and we reflect that quickly.
  • Accessible: we aim for WCAG 2.1 AA and welcome feedback (see our Accessibility Statement).

Independence & disclosures

LearnOntario is an independent website. We are not affiliated with the Government of Ontario, any ministry, or any college/university. We monetize primarily through Google AdSense and label sponsorships if we ever accept them. See our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and Do Not Sell or Share pages for details.

Who we are

We’re a small Ontario‑based team that has been through the student journey and now compiles clear, Ontario‑specific guidance. Our content is edited for accuracy and clarity, with references to official sources so you can verify and take action with confidence.
