Private colleges have a poor reputation in Canada. If you want to attend college, you should attend a public college instead.

Private Career Colleges = Both Good and Bad depends on the College AND Province.

In Ontario there is a lack of enforcement so lots of dubious Private Institutions.

In other Provinces there is strict enforcement and standards are higher e.g. BC where most Accredited Colleges are Good.


Employment.

1. You must pick a Program that is in demand in the market, (Software Development, Mobile Apps etc),

2. Try to get into a program that has a Paid work Co-op, this gives you real local Employment Experience, Pays you back your costs and sets up your Career Path.

Not all Private Colleges are "bad" or "poor" in reputation.

In large Public Institutions there is no Commercial reasons to be accountable to the Student so classes are large and students are more of a faceless number.

Good Private Colleges are forced to be accountable via reputation and treating students well to be Commercially viable in the long run and tend to have much smaller class sizes.

first u have to check the PCC ur talking about is on the designated list so that u can apply for visa. secondly u have to be careful of PCC as they can shut down or have problems later. thirdly be careful of sub standard/fake PCC. so given a choice public colleges seems like a safe bet. u should google colleges / universities in canada u will find tons of information. Also seems like u have a masters and i wont recommend u PG courses as it affect ur visa chances. safe bet is masters or preferably Phd. Finding a job is totally different issue getting a degree/diploma/certificate does not guarantee a job. U need a lot more than just education . u need soft skills, networking skills(friends , relatives), luck, presentation skills etc to name a few.

Private colleges have a poor reputation in Canada. If you want to attend college, you should attend a public college instead.

I am working for 2 Private Career Colleges in Vancouver..I might be biased, but we are overseen by the Ministry of Education as well as PCTIA (Private Career Training Institutions Agency), with that in mind, we are regulated much stronger than any public college.
