PR after Private College
- Thread starter Abk777

You can certainly apply for PR if you qualify. However if you attend a private college, there's a good chance you won't qualify for a PGWP once you finish your studies which will make it extremely difficult to qualify for PR. Even if the college is on the DLI list, that doesn't mean you'll get a PGWP. Avoid private colleges if you want any future in Canada. Attend a public college.
Where do you get this info from? From as far as I know, any student who have completed a 900 hours class or more can get a PGWP for the same length. Need only to be enrolled in a college that has a Designated Learning Institution. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/study-institutions-list.aspscylla said:
The PGWP was different from private and public colleges before the 2014 law. Please check your facts before responding stupid shit. Private colleges cost less and can lead to PR faster than spending 3 years in universities or public colleges.
Regards,
We've actually seen many cases here since 2014 where PGWPs were refused for students attending private institutions. The fact that the private institution appears on the DLI list means the school qualifies for a study permit - however it doesn't automatically mean that the school or program will qualify you for a PGWP (this is a common misconception). Specifically, per CIC, the private institution must meet the following additional requirements:Binxia said:
- a private post-secondary institution that operates under the same rules and regulations as public institutions, or
- a private secondary or post-secondary institution (in Quebec) offering qualifying programs of 900 hours or longer leading to a diplôme d’études professionnelles (DEP) or an attestation de spécialisation professionnelle (ASP), or
- a Canadian private institution authorized by provincial statute to confer degrees but only if you are enrolled in one of the programs of study leading to a degree as authorized by the province and not in all programs of study offered by the private institution.
Yes - private institutions cost less. However they generally also have much poorer reputations among employers (there are of course some exceptions). Those attending universities and public colleges typically have an advantage in finding good jobs in Canada once they complete their studies.

Wherever you decide to take a course make sure the college is a public college and then on graduation apply for a PGWP given the work experince gained as long as NOC 0,A or B will help towards any future PR application. There are special rules for a PGWP application if attending private in Quebec so you would nee dto investgate if meets the requirements.

As for getting a study permit you need to share a bit more information such as current qualifications, planned course, any work experience and proficiency in English/French if you plan to go to Quebec. Add to that how attending college in Canada helps in your career aspirations when you return to your home country

Currently i am holding bachelor degree (Electronics and Communication Engineering) with 4 years of work experience in network engineer. I planed to take DEC (Computer Science Technology - Network management) LaSalle College in Montreal. Program length 3 years full time program, after complete i'll back to my home country.
What i chose is not a public college.
For all that are choosing the Private colleges. Make sure they follow the rules that have been posted on this thread. Going to a private college will reduce the possibility of getting a PGWP drastically. This is not trying to scare people, because at the end of the day, they will apply for wherever they want. But, if they don't get PGWP or find it difficult to get PR based on the education, they can't say that they didn't have all the facts. For a few dollars saving, is it worth the risk?
I am in starting stage, still not yet decided. Because i applied other colleges also
Do at least a 2 year course then you will be eligible (depending on the college) for a 3 year Pgwp. That's what I did
Im planning to go to a 16week program in a private college. I was told I won't be eligible for à WP after graduation. My question is When I finish the 16week program, if I transfer to a public college or university, will I be able to get a PW after I graduate.?

that will depend on how much time u spend in public college. If ur private college does not qualify for PGWP and u did 1 year there and then transferred to public college did one year program there then u will most likely get only 1 year work permit.
