Data on post-secondary students

Question:
I have a request for data aggregated to show where post secondary students live by small area geographies in southern Ontario. The largest area that would be useful is census subdivision, but census tracts would be ideal. Does anyone know if this data is available? Would it be a custom tabulation? I think the data may be collected in the Post-secondary Student Information System.

If it is possible to get this data we would be interested in having it broken down by institution type, Classification of Instructional Programs (Primary Grouping) and Student Status (international/ Canadian Students).

Answer:
Data at the level of provinces is the smallest geographic area that we can provide from the Postsecondary Student Information System. We can provide data about students whose permanent address upon admission is Ontario.
