International Students
Are you looking to pursue your studies in Canada and experience its vibrant culture?
We offer a range of programs and a supportive community to help you make the most of your time here.
CLI College is proud to offer a welcoming Canadian education to international students. We are dedicated to ensuring a fulfilling experience for all students through fast application processing, competitive programs, flexible payment options, and reasonable tuition fees. We are thrilled that so many international students choose to pursue their studies with us.
However, we want to inform you that graduating from CLI College or any other private career college would render you ineligible for a Postgraduate Work Permit (PGWP). The PGWP is a valuable opportunity for international students to gain work experience in Canada after graduation. While we hope for a change in this policy in the future, we recommend considering publicly-funded colleges if obtaining a PGWP is a priority for you.
We are committed to supporting you throughout your educational journey and value your ability to make informed decisions. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
