Christmas party at CNC

/0 Comments/in /by

On December 12, Christmas party was held on the Cloud Nine College campus.

CNC students and teachers attended the party and enjoyed pizza and cake while socializing. It was impressive to see them enjoying talking with each other over juice and snacks.

Also at the party, a quiz competition was held for teams. Teams were made up of mixed classes, and a total of six teams competed in a buzzer quiz. The quiz included questions about Canada, teachers, and schools so that students can learn more about this country and CNC. Some tricky questions were challenging for many teams who were willing to win a prize!

The top three teams were presented with prizes, and the winning teams shared their prizes while congratulating their teams for their hard work.

The event seemed to be a great opportunity for the students to have fun and make new friends with students and teachers from other classes that they normally do not have a chance to talk with.

At CNC, students can gain a variety of experiences not only through classroom lectures but also through Co-Op work experience and school activities. Cloud Nine College’s Co-op program for 2024 is scheduled to begin on February 5, April 22, July 8, September 23, and December 9.

Our Personal Experience as Filipinos in Canada

/0 Comments/in /by

It was during the pandemic in 2020 that we started thinking about going to Canada. We initially took the express entry route, but it was challenging to look for a direct employer that would provide a job offer. Later on, we decided to change our pathway to student, though it’s more expensive, but why not take the risk?

Luckily, we were given a chance to immigrate here—my partner as a student and myself as an open work permit. It was in the fall of 2022 when we arrived in Canada. Right after we settled into our new home, I got a job and started working. Honestly, it was not easy at first because it’s not the same work experience I had back in the Philippines. I work two jobs, one in the casino and one at Tim Hortons. I have managed to continue working at the casino because I love interacting with people. As time went on, I quit Tim Hortons, but it was a great experience, and I liked it. I never thought that I could get things out of my comfort zone. I quit Tim Hortons because of a better opportunity, which is as admin staff at Cloud Nine College. Again, not my line of work back home. It was a whole new experience, and it’s great working with diverse people, including professors and students.

As for my partner, she is studying and working at the same time. Since the government lifted the allowable hours of work for students, she took advantage of working full time, and during her rest days she must be at the school. Juggling studies and work is also a tough thing to do. It is not a bed full of roses. You should endure the sacrifices you made. I think this is the reality of life here in Canada, but I must say it was all worth it to take the risk! It’s been a year since we came here. We have managed to strike a balance between study and work and are enjoying our stay here!

In conclusion, it is all about being 100% ready for whatever decisions you make in life. If you are physically, mentally, spiritually, and financially prepared, everything and anything is possible! To all the aspiring immigrants, if you want it, pursue it. If you made it here, no turning back; just move forward, whatever it takes, as there’s no shortcut to success!

Study, Work and Live in Canada

/0 Comments/in /by

On November 23rd, our admin staff Cate conducted an online marketing presentation in the webinar “Study, Work and Live in Canada!” hosted by GENTLE FAMILY HOME TRAINING CENTER INC located in Philippine. In this webinar, we introduced pathways for immigrating to Canada to students in the Philippines.

Even if you are eager to work in Canada, it is not easy to find a job in Canada from your home country, nor is it easy to obtain a visa to stay long-term while working.

However, Co-Op programs at Cloud Nine College allow you to gain work-related knowledge and skills in in-person classes during your study period while doing work related to the program during your Co-Op work period. Additionally, working part-time during the study period gives students a great economic advantage!!

These work experiences will not only give you practical skills for future employment but will also help you make connections with potential employers who may be able to support your immigration needs.

The webinar also included a FAQ session about immigration programs with Cally, an immigration consultant with Greenlight Immigration Consulting Inc. Participants asked many questions, demonstrating their high level of interest in Canada.

We are now preparing more opportunities for international students in various countries to know more about our programs. Please keep checking our SNS posts or announcements!
