Computer Automated Systems Diploma - Batch of 2025
4
A student will get 100% knowledge and can be industry ready.
Tips: My college is a government affiliated college. They provide top quality education and prepare a student to work with industry directly. If an individual really wanna study and gain some knowledge then only they should take admission. If anyone just wanna be here to earn money then my college is not for them.

Business (Management) Diploma - Batch of 2023
3.1
Tough starting but good ending. A bit stressful but worth it.
Tips: It was a very different environment over here. As there are lots of students from different backgrounds, it would be a golden chance to learn about different countries and cultures. Other than that, there are some options for students to get scholarships but only a few are available for international students and others are for local students. So, we have to check according to our courses and particular College or University. I was satisfied with my course as it was related to my field of interest and background (Business). My institution provided me with facilities such as diverse teaching staff, a proper academic curriculum and support whenever needed. But they charge huge fees to an international student in contrast to local students. Over here in Canada, it is an overall good experience. However, there are lots of regulations and rules which make life a little stressful here.
Likes (Safety): This country is very safe to live for students as well as other general public. For students, there are varieties of departments to deal with different issues such as medical, financial, and tax credits. Apart from this, we see some road problems in winter like accidents, and heavy cold.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): There are very few options to get permanent residence in Canada right now because there are temporary restrictions on (SINP) in 22 different working sectors. This includes all food-related and some other industries. If given a chance I would not prefer to permanently immigrate to this country as there are good work opportunities over here. But, the environment over here is a bit stressful and not as natural as the home country.

It is a fine college not great.
Tips: I am satisfied with the college and the country however it is a subjective thing. The study is mostly self and you have to prepare everything by yourself. The faculty does help you if you are stuck somewhere. I had not availed of any scholarships for my studies.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): There are options for the settlement based on the immigration scheme from the government. I would like to stay in the country. Everyone has their own fair share of reasons for whether they would like to stay in the country. I would like to work hard and explore the opportunities available.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Very few companies or none would come for the placements. Individuals on their own have to do the work to get a field job. Since there was no company during my passing I have no idea about the packages they provide. You need to upgrade your skills in order to get the desired jobs.
