Algonquin College intake sept2013

You are welcome. As for the post graduate work permit, you can apply for it only once. If you decide to continue your studies at a Bachelor's level, you should not apply for PGWP after your diploma program, wait till you graduate from university and then apply. Also it's hard to find a university program that would transfer your college credits up to the third year, usually it's one year that you can get exemption for. For PGWP, it doesn't matter if you complete a program of 2 years or 4 years, maximum you can get is a 3-year work permit. As for jobs, I don't want to scare you, but not many people find a job right after graduation, so the earlier you start your job search the better. Many workplaces require at least some work experience, most of the entry-level jobs like accounting clerks are required to have 2-3 years of experience. A degree in accounting would really help when competing for jobs, because big four companies usually don't have job opportunities for college graduates. Looking back, I wish I researched better the Canadian job market, two years ago it seemed like there was a big demand for accounting professionals, but now I see that many people would agree to move up north in order to get their first job in their field. Lots of people are pursuing a designation because they think they can get a better paid job if they are CGA or CPA, so what I am trying to say is that there is a lot of competition and people are not afraid of challenges these days in order to get to a better place in life. You can PM me if you have more questions regarding the program.

Hi, I am studying in Business-Accounting 2-year diploma program at Algonquin college. I had so far only positive experience there. It is a very well-equipped, student-oriented, innovative college. The staff is always nice and helpful. The professors are great and have the latest knowledge about their subject. The college layout may be confusing at first, because all the buildings are connected through passages and tunnels, but it all makes sense and you can find directions on the walls and at 'here-to-help' stands. Lots of cafeterias, computer labs, silent rooms, one big library, gym, student lounge, bookstore...If you are in a mobile program the college provides you with a free microsoft 2010 program and free wireless access to internet anywhere on campus. Overall, I am really impressed with how technologically advanced the college is and all the facilities available for students. Universities have their advantages, but this college really can give you all the hands-on skills you need in the workplace.
