Career College: College and Work

career college: Clarke is a trained early childhood educator who graduated in June from the private career college Nova Scotia College of Early Childhood Education in Halifax, according to CBC. Foreign students claim they were misled about chances of staying in Canada Private career college says work permit claim not 'deliberate attempt to deceive anyone' She attended the school as an international student from Jamaica, taking a two-year diploma program she believed would allow her to gain a work permit upon graduation. After being unable to legally work since October, she's trying to raise enough money to cover the rent on her Halifax apartment. I just have a love and a passion for working with kids. The trouble was, Clarke, like all of the other international students at private colleges like NSCECE, was actually not eligible for the post-graduate work permit even though in practice, federal immigration officials have been granting the permit to students like Clarke for several years. And so that's why I pretty much decided that for me to live and work here, this would be something I would want to pursue, she said. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
