College of New Caledonia (CNC)

CNC is a wonderful college. They have excellent trades programs, that range from culinary arts, to many red seal trades. They also have an excellent dental hygienist program, and the only ultrasound technician program in the North. They also have a university transfer program. With classes capped at 37 students, instructors have more time to help students. Great school.

Great follow up service, a bit difficult to arrange things with COVID, but that's understandable. The photos are gonna be me dead tired from school! haha

Why is this college getting more student visas approved?

I enrolled in a nursing class that would be starting two days after I moved from southern B.C. to Prince George. I was told I would be able to purchase everything I needed from the college bookstore. When I arrived, I found that most of what I needed, including the most important items, could NOT be purchased at the bookstore. So I spent the day before the class started driving all over a town I had never been to before, in a winter snow storm, trying to find supplies that had not already been purchased by my classmates. No sooner had the class started, the nursing instructor was saying: "You will all pass....This is what you say on the test, because that's regulation, and this is what you do in real life..." This nursing instructor then proceeded to "teach" the rest of us nurses how to NOT follow regulation, for the rest of the course. A practice which puts patients at risk. We all "passed" and went out into various communities with our new certification. I consider this "certification" simply a matter of paying $1200.00 for a piece of paper, after which I had to self educate, because the course itself simply taught how to endanger patients. Afterwards, I myself took a stand to follow regulation, which was an uphill battle. But as far as I know, every single nurse in that class chose to follow what the instructor taught - which endangers patients. It must be noted, however, that this was the only course I ever took at CNC, so perhaps their other instructors are much more accountable. Good luck!
