It was quick and simple, and my advisor was very helpful with the process. She helped me fill out all of the correct forms and helped me apply for financial aid. Went over the best route for the course in my field of study.

  • Dislikes:
  • Sometimes too much focus on academic grades than practical experiences. Also, students get sometimes too much focus on just Consulting and Finance, which inhibits them to explore different areas. School can ensure students that career can grow in different areas by showing them more real life experiences.

It is good for the people who want to excel in their career. School gives the opportunity to change the domain experience as required.

Hello, I'm from India. I have a doubt regarding the Program Cloud Computing (Certificate) offered by the University of Toronto. Will this certificate count toward my PGWP? Can I apply for PGWP for taking this course?
S
Sinbad Chongtham

If you have graduated from a designated learning institution in Canada, you may be eligible to apply for PGWP. However, graduating from a designated learning institution does not automatically make you eligible to appy for PGWP. You will be able to apply for PGWP after completing the one-year Certificate in Cloud Computing program of this university.
