The Applicant, Toronto School of Technology Inc., appealed a proposal by the Registrar to refuse to renew its registration under the Private Career Colleges Act, 2005.
The Registrar's investigation revealed that the Applicant had engaged in egregious conduct, including providing unauthorized refunds to students funded by the Second Career program, delivering vocational programs remotely without approval, failing to maintain proper student records, and scheduling instructors to teach multiple classes simultaneously.
The Tribunal found the evidence against the Applicant compelling and rejected the Applicant's defense of an "honest but mistaken belief." The Tribunal concluded that the Applicant failed to operate the college in accordance with the law and with honesty and integrity, and ordered the Superintendent to refuse to renew the registration.
