Hey everybody, my name is Aaron, I am an international student at Conestoga
College and I'm in the public relations degree program and I just wanted to take
some time to talk about the application process and what my experience with it
was. So, to begin we start on this page right here. It's the Conestoga College
main web page and this is going to be a really helpful resource in the future
but for our purposes right now we're going to go right up to this tab on the
top right, which is for the international students. So we'll just click that. So,
that's going to take us to this page says study in Canada on the front and
you'll notice right below the study in Canada, you see a little thing that says
virtual tour and I just want to point this out to you because this was an
incredibly helpful tool for me. You know, when you're in another country you're
far away, you can't just go and view the campus in person, you can't see it
but I highly recommend this, because it gives you a tour as if you're
actually there. As far as applying goes, we want to go up here to programs, which
is on the top left and just select that. So once you select the programs, it's
going to take you to a page that looks like this. It's gonna say international
student programs across the top. There are a few things I want to point out on this
page. From right to left here, you have several tabs from certificate programs
to degree programs. Now going into this process I knew that I wanted a four-year
degree program. I wanted something that would have me career ready by the end of
it. Of course everybody has different needs, everybody has different goals when
they come to a different place, when they go to college, so you want to
select the program that's right for you in the length of time that's right for
you. I also want to point out open and close statuses, this is quite important.
When you're doing application processes. Closed as a red dot, open will be the
green dot. Duration, this is another thing to keep in mind. It will give you the
length of your program, which is really important as well. You want to know how
long you're going to be in school for. And this is the credential, this is what
you're going to get, so this will be a certificate. So, my program was a degree
program so I'll just show you that now. So you highlight the tab you want, it'll
take you to this page and the bachelor public relations degree
program is what caught my eye, so let's just select this. So that's going to take
you to a page that looks like this and there's a few things I want to point
out to you here because when you're looking for your program I highly
recommend you read a lot of this information about the program, like I
mentioned before there was a set amount of things that I wanted to
obtain through my education and reading through this list, you really get a
detailed look of what to expect when you come to the college. So I highly
recommend reading this section. Right below we have a program information
section. This is something that will also tell you the duration of your course,
it'll show you how many semesters you have. When you start coming a bit further
down, we have some more program requirements, what they're going to
expect from you while you're in the program. So it says here you have to
complete a co-op work term. Tuition and fees, this is another important section
I'd like to point out to you. So you select that here, it'll give you a nice
breakdown of what to expect to make major payments on. So like I said, you
have more co-op information here and this is perhaps one of the most
important areas to turn your attention to, which is the program outcomes. This is
a list of all the things that the program says you will have your disposal,
all these skills will be at your disposal by the end of the program. So
this is really important to read over, have a good grasp on what you're gonna
get from this experience. Okay. So after I looked over all this program, I saw the
bachelor public relations program was great. I really wanted to take it. I
decide, you know what I'm going to Canada, I go to the apply now section down here,
it's as easy as that. So, we're gonna go right down here. So it says international
students should apply using this link, international application portal. So
that's gonna take you right to this page. When you get to that later, right here
I'm gonna turn your attention right here between applicants and agents. So, agents
this is if you actually have an agent who's doing the application process for
you and so they will come and click here, but I
have an agent when I went through the process so we're just gonna go right up
here to where applicants apply. Click the link. So it's gonna take you to the
Ontario colleges CA page and here they're gonna have you make an account
and you're just it's as easy as just following the steps after this to make
your application. So I hope this is being constructive, I hope it's been helpful
and most of all if I have any advice in this process just enjoy the moment,
because this is a special and unique time in life and when I think back to it
I remember had my heart pumping a little bit, I was excited I was nervous,
but it was a really rewarding experience and I got to take a step forward in a
direction in life that that were really paid off for me.
