Graduate Certificate in Regulatory Affairs - Batch of 2022

4.9

I felt very welcomed and it was easy to manage studies and part time work.

Tips: I felt very happy at Conestoga College because the cultural diversity helped me grow. The campus is beautiful and lively and the professors are lovely. I didn't get any scholarships but I would recommend this college. There are many companies that offer sponsor visas, and the salary package is approximately 85,508 dollars per year. The job is easily offered, and it's not that hectic to work in this field. I'm excited to join this field and gain experience. I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

Likes (Student Life): We had classes and labs, but also a lot of free time to enjoy the college experience. There were many events, such as parties and programs, that allowed students from different backgrounds to mix and feel less homesick. There were also many clubs to join, such as art class, dance, gym, race, and Zumba.

Graduate Certificate in Health Care Administration and Service Management - Batch of 2023

3.9

Conestoga College has a unique learning environment with friendly faculty.

Tips: Conestoga makes efforts to introduce students to their culture by giving orientation and also celebrating our Indian festivals. No ban on wearing Indian outfits. They are welcoming and with the help of social media, we can understand the cultural difference in Canada. Scholarships are available, we need to apply for them after achieving a good GPA. Overall, the college is welcoming without any discrimination.

Likes (Public transportation): The buses run frequently every 15 minutes on weekdays and 30 minutes on weekends, and the fares are very reasonable. In addition, students can ride for free during certain times of the year. The college also provides timely updates on any service disruptions, which helps students plan accordingly. In case of service interruption details are updated in website and they will advertise posters on bus stops narrating the same, which helps to find another bus or route to plan ahead.

Dislikes (Value for money): The course is a basic introduction to Health care systems in Canada. It covers the basics, but to advance in the field, students need to invest in additional certifications such as First aid and CPR training. These courses are not part of the academic syllabus, so students must pay extra to take them. To be a successful healthcare professional, students need to acquire additional proficiencies to gain career and economic wealth.

Graduate Certificate in Construction Management (Optional Co-op) - Batch of 2018

3.3

Things are a bit hard to manage. Part-time is hard to get.

Tips: The transition coming to Conestoga college back in 2017 wasn't difficult. I did experience homesickness but I had good housemates. The college has got good facilities. International students are still coming to the college and Conestoga College is well known now compared to before, when I came very few students knew about Conestoga college. Please note that finding part time jobs in Kitchener and Cambridge was relatively easier in 2017 ( when I worked part time) than now. Current students can better comment on that. Just be aware that, if one doesn't have any relatives here in Canada, then one may find it a bit difficult in the beginning as we are starting from scratch but it gets easier with time. The only thing which was a bit frustrating was the fact that my programme had optional co-op, so only top 10 students based on merit were eligible for co-op. Getting co-op work experience makes it far easier to land a field job once you graduate. So, I think if everyone scoring 75% more was eligible for co-op then it would have been a nice thing to have Canadian co-op work experience on resume when they graduate.

Likes (Indian Food): One can find most or nearly all of the Indian food stores here. Eating outside is expensive but one can eat outside once in a while. Other than that, students normally buy coffee and other beverages from Tim Hortons on a daily basis. Groceries are a bit more expensive now than in 2017.

Dislikes (Part time work): Obtaining part time work is difficult nowadays and you have got to do low paying jobs. For many students, it seems because we didn't do any hard work in our home country. But this work will prepare you for better future. Off campus and on campus work opportunities are limited considering the number of international students coming to this city every year. So, hard work and luck are what you will need to find a part-time job, it's easier to find job for someone while it's difficult for others.

Transitioning here felt like stepping into a new adventure, adjusting to different foods and expressions.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Canada's PR score is high for me because thanks to accessible pathways to citizenshipn a thriving job market top notch quality of life and a friendl, diverse society. My business analytics skills could potentially land me a fulfilling career home for stability, opportunities and stunning scenery.

Dislikes (Part time work): Part time work at conestoga offers a mixed bag. On campus jobs are plentiful like libraries, cafes and labs. But off campus options require more searching. Balancing work with study demands is flexible. Pay varies based on job type but expect minimum wage or slightly above.
