Quebec stops Scam College Backdoors to Immigration

2022-06-14T08:33:00.005-07:00

Yes Polly Anna there are scam career colleges that abuse education, immigration and labour laws to extract huge amounts of money from internationals.

Quebec is protecting their taxpayers, their workforce and the integrity of their education system by closing these backdoors.

The scam career colleges degrade the value of both Quebec's and Canada's education reputation. Since taxpayers pay billions each year to educate Canadians they have to protect the tax dollars and the value of taxpayer investment into Canadians.

This small group of self-serving criminals are out there eroding the value of Canada using garbage, self manufactured textbooks, unproven training programs and unqualified trainers. Many of these scam colleges do not have adequate attendance, administration, teaching or placement programs.

You must ask yourself why would someone pay $10,000 or 15,000 for a textbook with 50 mistakes on each page, and unqualified staff.

Some agents actually promise a hacked school computer system where the students just give themselves 90% on tests and 100% attendance, The ability to work "full time" because of the hacked computer system. The fake marks can get "students" into a better school or a job after "graduation" and presto after 4 years apply for immigration.

The damage these scam colleges cause are widespread. The scam college textbooks with 50 mistakes on each page have been used by agents to show international students that education is terrible in Canada - and students should go anywhere but Canada.

These garbage self-manufactured textbooks alone have cost Canada millions of dollars.

The career colleges have been lobbying for years to secure their "free intern" programs - we can blame a large % of Canadian youth unemployment on jobs taken by free interns that eliminate the ability of Canadian youth to get work experience or any chance of earning a salary as an intern.

The scam career colleges are promoting a type of slavery and destroying parts of the labour market.

Links to the Quebec announcements: Obtaining a post-graduation work permit

At the end of your studies, if you wish to work in Québec, you can submit an application for a post-graduation work permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

Your post-graduation work permit is valid for up to the same length as your study program. It allows you to work for any eligible employer in Canada.

On June 7, 2022, changes were made to the eligibility conditions for post-graduation work permits for international students enrolled in certain study programs and educational institutions in Québec.

Visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website to know which programs and institutions give access to this type of work permit.

PCC's and Career Colleges Beware of Post Pandemic Predators

2022-05-18T13:00:00.002-07:00

What happened to @#$%&* College

@#$%&* College started as a nice little Canadian career college.

According to Stats Canada in 2006, 87% of 25- to 29-year-olds graduated from high school and both colleges and universities together graduated about 54 % of the population.

The real natural market for Canadian Private Career Colleges (PCC's), counting all the dropouts and career changers as well as those training to re-entering the job market, is 11.5 % of the population.

Canada consistently ranks in the top 8% of multicultural public education systems in the world. The USA ranks in the bottom 30% in the world scale of public education and with a college grad level of about 31%.

Some estimates that up to 38% of the USA population need PCC training to enter many of the job markets.

Many big flashy USA based education investors look at general demographics and make the mistake of thinking WOW in Canada only 1.5 % of the student population goes to PCCs - we can make a killing with a PCC up in Canada.

If you add some USA based accelerated tax benefits + perception of an untapped market you will have some investors rush or get pushed in.

When a big flashy USA mutual fund waves 10 Million in front of the smaller Canadian PCC operators and says can you spend all the money expanding as quickly as possible ? You know the PCC's will say yes without reading all the fine print.

The fine print says if you do not meet targets - we will take over - what else is not in the weaponized fine print - we will pay ourselves huge fees - we will run the school for our benefit not anyone else.

@#$%&* was operated the USA way - wild spending to obtain initial tax credits - USA sales targets not met - the takeover - huge management fees to mutual fund manager - wild cost cutting to punish @#$%&* students, staff and minority investors.

We do not have access to all the accounting but it looks like the mutual fund investors lost the initial 10 million dollar private equity investment. The mutual fund management company paid themselves huge fees to make the investment - take over the company - run the company into the ground then when it was dead with no cash or cash flow tried to sell it failed to sell at any price and finally just gave it back to the original minority investors - who by this time had over 5 years of no revenue and suffered a complete loss.

The @#$%&* had hundreds of complaints on social media by students, staff, teachers and creditors. The @#$%&* was stripped of student government tuition funding OSAP - this is a huge loss. @#$%&* was famous for having 2 SRO Career Regulators suing to stop prep classes at @#$%&* as all recent students failed and were inadequately prepared with knowledge or skills to perform in those careers.

@#$%&* was like a victim of the Russian scorched earth policy when retreating from the Nazis in WW2.

If you're counting:

-all private equity investors down about 15 million in total,

-students wasted 1,500 hours and about 25 million and

-the Ontario government lost deadbeat college loans of about 18 million.

-USA Private Mutual Management Company "earned" about 11.5 million.

In the next article we will explain what else the mutual fund management company did to make money.

The big flashy USA mutual fund has waved 10 Million to another small PCC - told them to expand - you just have to get these easy registration numbers - whoops they just took over !!!

I am sure that you can understand why the warnings should go out about this criminal organization.

Another reason the big flashy mutual fund manager operates outside of the USA is that it would attract RICO attention. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

There are a few smoking guns at @#$%&* to indicate some of the crimes and you guessed it there are a few smoking guns in the new victim PCC.

The police and regulators will let one tragic investment loss slide - everyone is allowed one bad situation because of inexperience, stupidity, maybe a pandemic, however, when it happens the second time and third time - everyone knows it is criminal activity by design.

Canada’s International Education Strategy 2019-2024

2019-09-07T05:20:00.001-07:00

Message from Minister of International Trade Diversification

With a Budget 2019 allocation of $147.9 million over five years followed by $8 million per year of ongoing funding, our new International Education Strategy will, in collaboration with the provinces, territories, associations and institutions:

Encourage Canadian students to gain new skills through study and work abroad opportunities in key global markets, especially Asia;
Diversify the countries from which international students come to Canada, as well as their fields, levels of study, and location of study within Canada; and
Increase support for Canadian education sector institutions to help grow their export services and explore new opportunities abroad.

Our new International Education Strategy ensures that Canada will remain among the world’s top destinations for learning. This is essential in order for our schools, students and researchers to continue to expand their connections abroad, and to ensure Canadian students benefit from the world of learning beyond our borders.

The Honourable James Gordon Carr
Minister of International Trade Diversification

Message from Minister of Employment, Workforce Development & Labour

The IES includes a five-year Outbound Student Mobility Pilot program which will help post-secondary students with the costs of study or work abroad. The program also focuses on supporting under-represented students (e.g. Indigenous students, students from less privileged backgrounds, students with disabilities) to develop the skills they need to succeed in an increasingly globalized and changing economy.

The Honourable Patricia A. Hajdu
Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour

Greetings from Minister of Immigration, Refugees & Citizenship

In 2018, more than 721,000 international students studied in Canada, sparking new ideas, strengthening innovation and building people-to-people ties that are crucial to international trade and the global economy. As most international students are young, have Canadian educational qualifications and in-demand labour skills, and are proficient in one of our official languages, they are often ideal candidates for permanent residency. In fact, nearly 54,000 former students became permanent residents in Canada in 2018.

The Honourable Ahmed Hussen, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship

Building on success, driving prosperity

International education makes a large and growing contribution to Canada’s prosperity. International students in Canada spent an estimated $21.6 billion on tuition, accommodation and other expenses in 2018, and sustained close to 170,000 jobs for Canadians in 2016.

Educational expenditures by international students have a greater impact on Canada’s economy than exports of auto parts, lumber or aircraft. Between 2014 and 2018, the number of international students in Canada increased by 68%.

Bill 47 Changes Ontario College of Trades

2018-11-14T07:12:00.002-08:00

Bay of Quinte MPP Todd Smith took over as Ontario’s Minister of Economic Development.

Bill 47 will adjust the journeyman-to-apprentice ratio. Now businesses that want to hire an apprentice need three journeymen electricians. When bill 47 passes it will be one journeyman to one apprentice.

Eric DenOuden says: "the move is necessary to address the expected shortage of skilled trades workers - We know that we’ve got about 85,000 tradespeople retiring in the next 10 years and they have to be replaced we also know that there’s an increased population and more houses are needed."

Read the entire Global News story here: New economic minister says scrapping Ontario College of Trades is good for business

"The Ontario College of Trades is the amalgamation of years of advocacy and planning by skilled tradespeople of this province. The training, support and oversight of the College are mandatory to ensuring public safety and the future of excellence in Ontario trades," said Dave Cassidy, Unifor National Skilled Trades Chairperson.

Unifor is Canada's largest union in the private sector, representing 315,000 workers in every major area of the economy. Unifor represents more than 50,000 skilled trades workers and apprentices in 63 types of skilled across Canada working in over 20 sectors. The union advocates for all working people and their rights, fights for equality and social justice in Canada and abroad, and strives to create progressive change for a better future.

OSAP Default Rates

2018-06-15T16:03:00.003-07:00

To help students assess the financial risk and learn about prior student loan borrower outcomes, the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development collects and publishes the following indicators by institution and program for Canada-Ontario Integrated Student Loan (COISL) recipients:

OSAP default rates
OSAP Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) usage rates
combined OSAP Repayment Assistance Plan usage and default rates

The 2016 OSAP loan repayment measures reflect the repayment status of students who:

issued Canada-Ontario Integrated Student Loans in the 2013-14 academic year, and
completed or left their studies by 2014-15.

The default status of these loans was assessed as of July 2016, or about two years after the 2013-14 OSAP academic year.

Institutional default rates are calculated using the last institution and program the student attended in 2013-14 while receiving a Canada-Ontario Integrated Student Loan.

An OSAP loan has specific repayment terms and conditions. If the borrower does not follow them (e.g., they miss multiple payments), their loan will go into default.

When the loan goes into default, the National Student Loans Service Centre (NSLSC) submits a claim to the Province of Ontario and/or Government of Canada.

Submitted default claims are paid by the provincial and federal government. The loan is then turned over to a collection agency.

What are the Overall OSAP Repayment Assistance Plan Usage Rates?

The overall 2016 Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) usage rate of the borrowers who received loans in 2013-14 for Ontario postsecondary institutions is 33.4%.

The 2016 RAP usage rates based on institution type are as follows:

publicly-assisted universities: 30.3%
publicly-assisted colleges: 34.3%
private career colleges: 42.7%

Feds turn eye to career college students in effort to collect more student loans

Ontario’s Private-College Grads NOT finding jobs

2016-09-07T19:43:00.001-07:00

ESL in Canada will be researching PCC's to find the few diamonds in the sea of underperforming Ontario schools - contributions are welcome from employers, grads and teachers.

Ontario’s private-college grads not finding jobs,
by Simona Chiose Education Reporter
The Globe and Mail Published Sunday, May 22, 2016 9:23PM EDT

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/students-at-ontarios-private-colleges-not-finding-jobs-provincial-numbers-show/article30117401/

-Almost 40 per cent of the most highly rated private career colleges in Ontario appear to be failing to prepare students for the labour market, with a third of graduates at 58 out of 159

- The Globe’s analysis shows that the expensive fees are often a poor investment. Along with the high number of students who could not find any work, an even smaller number found jobs in the area they studied. Overall, less than half of employed students were working in their field of study. At some campuses of the CDI College, for example, only 34 per cent of grads had related employment.

- At public colleges, 80 per cent of grads say their work closely matches their education. And roughly 84 per cent of graduates in the public college sector also find work after they graduate. The relatively poor outcomes in the private college sector have led many to call for tighter control over the schools.

For excellent independent career consultants with options for career or public colleges go to:

http://www.eslincanada.com

Editor's Note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly compared the general employment rate of publicly funded community colleges to the employment rate for private career colleges graduates in their field of study. In fact, the general employment rate six months after graduation is 83.4 per cent for public community colleges versus 71.2 per cent for private career colleges. In addition, the article said private colleges charge fees between $10,000 and more than $20,000 a year. There are some full year courses which charge less. This version has been corrected.

Quality of education at Ontario’s private career colleges questioned Last updated Wednesday, Jul. 20, 2016

Ontario Private Career Colleges: An Exploratory Analysis
Roger Pizarro Milian and Martin Hicks,
Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario

In terms of performance measures, Ontario publishes student loan repayment default rates for PCCs, which are higher (21%) than the default rates for public institutions (13% for colleges, 5% for universities). The province is just beginning to collect a list of performance metrics for PCCs comparable to those collected for public colleges: graduation rates, graduate employment rates, graduate and employer satisfaction.

Complaints about career colleges emerge
by: Alexandra Posadzki, The Canadian Press

http://www.macleans.ca/education/uniandcollege/complaints-about-career-colleges-emerge/

The documents, obtained by The Canadian Press through a freedom of information request, outline 47 formal complaints made by students to Ontario’s Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in 2010 and 2011. There were complaints alleging incompetent, unprofessional teachers at Everest, Evergreen and the Canadian Business College.

Too Cool for School Too

https://www.ombudsman.on.ca/Resources/Reports/2013-2014-Annual-Report.aspx#Too_Cool_for_School_and_Too_Cool_for_School_Too___Private_career_colleges_and_colleges_of_applied_arts_and_technology

The Ministry’s Private Career Colleges Branch has oversight of all registered private career colleges in Ontario and is also responsible for enforcement action against unregistered private career colleges. We received 15 complaints from private career college students and operators in 2013-2014 (down slightly from last year’s 19).

In a case similar to that featured in Too Cool for School Too, students in a heating, refrigeration and air conditioning program complained that the program was not certified by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA), and without that certification, their job prospects would be limited upon graduation.

Ombudsman staff are reviewing the Ministry’s role in approving such programs and what steps it has taken to respond to the Ombudsman’s recommendations since his 2009 report. At that time, the Ombudsman said the Ministry had “abdicated” its responsibility to ensure college programs met its standards, and called its response to his report “disappointing.”

Private career colleges are under-regulated in Ontario

http://www.competeprosper.ca/blog/private_career_colleges_are_under_regulated_in_Ontario

PCCs benefit from provincially funded job retraining programs and student loans as they receive indirect provincial funding through employment training programs and student loans. In 2012-2013, $231 million was distributed to 15,787 students in 167 private institutions. Considering the high Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) default loan rate for PCCs (amounting to 18.8 percent in 2013), the province's loans are becoming an indirect subsidy to these private businesses.

Complaints of a lack of proper equipment, inadequate instructors, and a failure to deliver the promised number of training hours are common among former and current students of PCCs.

The province, not private institutions, needs to provide educational programs that prepare students for the job market. The Institute strongly encourages the province to consider incorporating vocational training offered by PCCs into the public system, mainly via community colleges. This will ensure higher academic standards are set and that students rights’ are protected. The role of PCCs should be limited to providing hobby courses and short seminars.

Hard lessons: Newcomers and Ontario Private Colleges

http://www.torontolip.com/Portals/0/Resources/Education/Hard%20Lessons%20-%20Toolkit.pdf

A number of key informants complained that PCC standards of instruction, curriculum and facilities were poor in many instances and that placement or practicum opportunities appeared either non-existent or inadequate.

Newcomer students, with poor English skills are being are aggressively recruited and admitted into private colleges despite their language assessment results. The success of placements depends on many factors, including job readiness, soft skills and English language skills.

Some employers don’t recognize Private College diplomas as equivalent to Community College diplomas or report that graduates are not job ready.

Some interviewees mentioned that sometimes the employer does not recognize the name of the private college and so the quality of the certificate is unknown. Others reported having a bad experience with a private college graduate and may then generalize other students from the same college.

Some regulatory bodies don’t recognize the Private College diploma because it does not meet their standards, such as number of hours of instruction.

Most of the interviewees stated that their clients who attended community colleges have better employment outcomes than those who attended private colleges. For those programs that are offered by both community colleges and private colleges – the community college graduates were able to find jobs faster. One interviewee stated that none of her clients that attended a private college were able to secure employment.

Grants for Career Training Programs

2014-02-10T08:12:00.000-08:00

The Red Seal Program is recognized as the interprovincial standard of excellence in the skilled trades. The Red Seal Program encourages harmonization of provincial and territorial apprenticeship training and certification programs by developing and maintaining interprovincial standards of qualification for about 55 recognized trades, in partnership with apprenticeship and certification stakeholders.

Apprenticeship is an industry-based learning system that combines on-the-job experience with technical training to produce a certified journeyperson. Often called "earning while learning."

Upon completion of the specified training period, apprentices receive a Certificate of Qualification. Apprenticeship programs are generally administered by provincial and territorial departments responsible for education, labour and training (under the direction of the provincial or territorial Director of Apprenticeship) with authority delegated from the legislation in each province and territory.

Apprenticeship Incentive Grant (AIG)

The AIG is a taxable cash grant of $1,000 per year or level, up to a maximum amount of $2,000. You must submit your application by June 30 of the year after you complete the first and/or second year or level.

Using the National Occupational Classification

2013-04-09T07:16:00.002-07:00

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) enables economists, statisticians and analysts a consistent method to collect data and describe and understand the nature of work.

It provides individuals and career guidance personnel a standardized language for describing the work performed by Canadians in the labour market. It organizes over 30,000 job titles into 520 occupational group descriptions.

The NOC is developed and updated in partnership with Statistics Canada according to their 5-year Census cycles. The NOC is based on extensive occupational research and consultations conducted across the country, reflecting the evolution of the Canadian labour market.

The two currently used data bases are NOC 2006 and NOC 2011.

The NOC can be used for:

defining and collecting statistics;
managing information databases;
analyzing labour market trends; and
extracting practical career planning information.

The first organization of data is Occupational Structure by Skill Type
The first step for extracting information about a career is to select the desired skill type below to access the detailed Occupational Structure.
