At Anderson College, we are more than our programs and our facilities; we are a team of dedicated and caring individuals who are deeply committed to helping our students. For our international students, we offer a Canadian education with quicker admissions, flexible payment options and reasonable tuition fees in a supportive environment.

Please note that, we continue to welcome international students who do not require Provincial Attestation Letters (PALs). To check if you are exempt from PALs, please visit this page: Provincial Attestation Letter Information

At Anderson College, we are proud to host many international students who enjoy a vibrant and enriching experience with us. Students choose Anderson for a wide variety of reasons that contribute to their personal and professional growth.

However, if your goal is to obtain a Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP), it’s important to note that international students graduating from Career Colleges, including Anderson College, are not currently eligible for PGWPs. While we sincerely hope this policy changes in the future, we recommend that students seeking a PGWP explore options at publicly funded colleges.

Anderson College Represents What Canada Is All About

Our students come to us from all corners of the globe and each has a unique story to tell. We celebrate their individuality and support them as they strive to overcome challenges and create a better life for themselves and their families. Within our community, we build a culture of equality and care. International students join us for various other reasons outside of receiving a PGWP. We are the right fit for you if you are looking for the following:

A superior educational experience that allows you to return to your country of origin with Canadian education and work experience (through practicum component in our programs and through work experience with during-study, off-campus work permits).
A caring and compassionate community of support. Our faculty and staff are committed to working with you to match your skills with a program that’s right for you; accommodate your individual needs to make sure your experience is worry-free; provide the knowledge and hands-on, practical training to empower your success; and, Anderson prides itself on ensuring students feel like they have a home-away-from-home
To work during your schooling experience due to the high cost of studying abroad. Anderson College has a set class schedule that easily allows you to negotiate an opportunity to work up to 20 hours per week with the during-study, off-campus work permit
Or perhaps, you already have a permit to study in Canada, are new to the country and are looking for your next college. If that’s the case, please contact us by emailing international@andersoncollege.com or calling us to talk to one of our Admissions Advisors.
