I am looking for a two year program. I know there are colleges like Matrix, CDI, Vanier, Dawson but I did my research and read some old posts at this site and there were comments which were discouraging. A lot of people wrote that these colleges are not reputed and Canadian employers do not care much about these colleges. Is this true? I'd like to get a 3 year PGWP. Can someone also tell me about CEGEP de la gaspesie et des iles?

These colleges resumes are read last or more likely thrown away. Use public colleges.

In Quebec I would only recommend: McGill, HEC, John Molson. The rest are pretty much useless, even more so if you don't speak French fluently. I would strongly urge you to take the GMAT even if you have to apply next year unless you are content on working part-time jobs for the entirity of your stay in Canada.

HEC: Global Supply Chain
JMSB: MSCM
McGill: Master of Management

Thanks! Can you tell me about other colleges in Canada like George Brown college, Centennial college and Seneca? Is it worth to study a post graduation program from there? BTW, I Speak French at B2 level so that shouldn't be a problem.

Honestly, not really. I am in GBC right now and standards are low, professors unqualified and majority of students cannot find a job. This was a 1 year program so I am applying for a Master's for next year.

If you want to have a decent chance at being recruited, look for the big name universities. I know it sounds bad but my class is basically full of landed immigrants who can't find a job or students who are doing programs to fulfill PGWP requirements. I've noticed only Canadian studies with prior Canadian university education seem to be getting decent jobs. Yes its possible to do it being intl but statiscally unlikely. Just painting you the real picture here.

JEEZ! I cannot study anything related to management because i have a degree in arts and studying masters in my field would not be useful as there will be no jobs so idk what to do . :/ if i wanna study management, a college would be my best bet because the accept student from every background. Can you suggest me something else? I have a degree in French studies.

Not sure man. Maybe do a 1 year college certificate with quantitative classes and in that year apply to a Master of Management or Master in Finance program. If you go to a good MiM or MM program, they usually place well. You also give yourself time to study for GMAT. This is what I did.

Hey! Not sure if you remember me but we talked a few days back. Can you tell me about part time jobs in Toronto? I am thinking of applying to GBC and Centennial. How much rent do you pay?

If talking about rooms, depending on where in Toronto it can vary from 550-1500 per month. Part time jobs are easy to get
Two Colleges (Lambton and Canadore) rejected my applications for offer
My Profile..
  • 91 % - 10th (2012)
  • 66 % - Diploma Civil (2012-2015)
  • 66% Btech [Leet] Civil (2015-2018)[7 Backlogs - Cleared in 5 attemptes]
  • Job JE till date
  • L-7 , R-6, W and S - 6.5

Desired Course - Construction Project Management

They said profile strength wasn't sufficient.



Please share your thoughts

Can I get a room near GBC, Centennial or Seneca for 500 dollars? How much can I make by working part time? Are students able to save? saving is my main goal.
