TESTIMONIALS OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Testimonials and reviews about Canadian College

Reviews and testimonials from international students who have taken English classes or a Diploma at Canadian College provide valuable insights for prospective students. These stories can offer helpful advice and prepare you for your study experience abroad.

I was nervous about my English at first, but studying at Canadian College of English Language has been amazing. The Smrt English classes and supportive teachers helped me improve my speaking and writing dramatically. I loved the multicultural atmosphere and made friends from Japan, Brazil, Turkey, and more. The school’s weekly conversation club and city outings were so much fun. Thanks to living with a homestay family and joining activities, I not only improved my English, I also fell in love with Vancouver.

Canadian College exceeded my expectations. The Business Management & Co-op Diploma gave me practical skills and real work experience. In class, we tackled case studies and projects that felt like actual business scenarios. Our instructors, who have industry experience, shared real-world insights and mentored us closely. During my 9-month co-op at a local marketing firm, I applied everything I learned and even received a permanent job offer. Beyond academics, the college’s friendly community allowed me to network and volunteer. I’ve grown professionally and personally, and I’m confident about my career ahead.

Yes. International students at Canadian College enrolled in programs of six months or longer are allowed to work part-time (up to 24 hours per week) alongside their studies.

Yes. Co-op work terms are typically paid positions. Canadian College’s programs are designed to include paid co-op internships, so you can earn Canadian work experience and a salary as part of your program. This helps you offset living expenses while gaining practical skills in a real workplace.
