我在 VancouverJobs 上分享了此信息，但有位用户也要求我在这里分享此信息，因为他们非常沮丧，他们意识到自己身上发生了什么——他们基本上被一群坏人贩卖了，并且错误地相信了梦想。

如果您是在这里上学的国际学生或毕业生，请注意，许多地方都在淘汰任何列出的私立学校（如加拿大西部大学）和大型公立学校，如布雷顿角学校或公共合作学校（范莎大学、康尼斯托加大学等）的申请人。

我们对过去 5 年里我们给予机会的这些学校的申请人进行了分析，并将其与其他学校的申请人进行了比较。因为我们不想在没有支持的情况下制定这个淘汰标准。

42 人中只有 18 人通过了 3 个月的试用期。42 人中只有 1 人（是的，1 人）工作了一年。大约 70% 的人因为工作质量差而被解雇（很明显他们的资历不合算，而且从长远来看，他们的教育对他们没有好处。）剩下的人没有继续工作或自己辞职。我们确实赞助了那位通过的人，但他们之前实际上就读于波士顿大学，他们显然是利用文凭工厂进入加拿大。说实话，我们可能会直接从美国赞助他们。

对于来自公立学校（不是文凭工厂）的候选人，我们有 89 人中有 88 人通过了试用期。我们有 82 人通过了一年。只有 2 人因工作质量差而被解雇，其余 5 人自愿离开。

我们还发现外国学生简历上有很多造假的例子，尤其是关于他们的海外工作经历和实际做过的事情。这也是我们感到沮丧和浪费时间的另一个原因。看看我们给了多少机会。合格的申请人太多了，我们不得不以某种方式对候选人进行排名，而那些就读于 UBC 或 UoT 的人会被召回，而不是 UCW 或一些小型学院 Alexander College。

当然，我知道你在想什么：我不会写我上过这个文凭工厂，我只会写 UBC 或 UoT。好吧。我们有背景调查可以核实你的机构。任何给你提供福利的半正规公司都会对你的加拿大教育申请进行非常快速的检查。如果你这样做并撒谎，你将被解雇。如果我们独立发现问题，这些问题会对你未来的求职造成不利影响，我们也可以向背景调查公司报告。通常，我们的人力资源部现在甚至在我们打电话面试之前就进行教育检查。

我知道我们并不是唯一一家做出这一决定的企业，而且更多的企业也在做出同样的决定。我真诚地认为我应该分享我看到这种情况发生的频率，而且随着大量外国学生进入该国，情况 只会变得更糟。

如果你是一名正在找工作的外国学生，老实说，我不会继续把钱浪费在这些学校上。我会回国，花点钱在国内获得医疗保健学位和经验，然后转学过来。然后你可以去任何一个有医疗保健背景的国家，而不仅仅是加拿大，所以你并没有限制自己。但是，你不仅因为这些低水平的文凭和学位而限制了你在加拿大的近期未来，还限制了你的整个未来，因为根据目前的数字，这种情况至少在未来十年内可能都会如此。对于真正的国内学生来说，他们一辈子都在这里生活和工作，找到工作已经够难了，对于你这个外国人来说，只会更难。你成为“幸运儿”的机会非常非常渺茫。

这个就业市场很糟糕。作为一名加拿大人，我对如此多的剥削感到遗憾和心碎。我曾在国外学习，这是一次很棒的文化交流。我希望我们能做得更好，不要通过这些教育工厂等继续进行人口贩运。我认为，要弄清他们的教育是否值得，一个好方法是问问自己，美国或欧洲国家或大学是否会积极看待你的资历。他们知道多伦多大学，但他们不知道康尼斯托加大学。

I shared this is VancouverJobs, but a user asked me to share this here too, because they are so frustrated and they realize what happened to them- they've basically been human trafficked by a bunch of bad actors and falsely believing dreams.

If you are an international student attending school here or a graduate of one, be advised that many places are eliminating applicants with any private school listed (places like University Canada West) and the big ones that are public, like Cape Breton, or public partnership (Fanshawe, Conestoga, etc.) from the applicant pool.

We did an analysis of applicants hired from the past 5 years we gave a chance to from these schools compared to others. Because we didn't want to make this elimination criteria without some backing.

Only 18 out of 42 made it beyond the probationary period of 3 months. And only 1 (yes, 1) out of 42 made it beyond the 1 year mark. Roughly 70% were let go due to poor work quality (it's clear their credentials did not add up and their education did not serve them well in the long run.) The remaining did not continue show up or quit on their own. The 1 that made it through we did sponsor, but they actually attended Boston University before, they were clearly using the diploma mill to get into Canada. We probably would've sponsored them directly from the US, to be completely honest.

For candidates from public schools (the ones that don't act like total diploma mills), we had 88 out of 89 make it beyond the probationary period. We had 82 out of the 89 make it beyond the 1 year mark. Only 2 were let go due to poor work quality and the remaining 5 left on their own accord.

We also find a lot more instances of lying on foreign student resumes, especially with their foreign work experience and what they actually did. This is also another reason why for us, it's frustrating and a waste of time. Look at how many chances we've given. There are far too many qualified applicants that we have to rank candidates somehow and someone who went to UBC or UoT will get called back versus UCW or some strip mall college Alexander College.

And sure, I know what you're thinking: I won't put I went to this diploma mill, I'll just write UBC or UoT. Welp. We have background checks that can verify your institution. Any half decent company that's going to offer you benefits will run a very quick check on your Canadian education claim. If you do this and lie, you will be dismissed as an applicant. We can also report back to background check companies if we find issues independently which will hurt you in future job searches. Often, our HR now runs education checks even before we call for an interview.

I know for a fact we are not the only business who has made this decision and more businesses are making the same decisions. I felt honestly I should share with the frequency I see this coming up and it's only worsening with the sheer numbers of foreign students entering the country.

If you are a foreign student looking for work, honestly, I wouldn't continue to waste my money on these schools. I'd return home and get a healthcare degree and experience at home for cheap, and then transfer it over. You could then go to literally any country with a background in healthcare, not just Canada, so you aren't limiting yourself. BUT you are limiting, not just your immediate future here in Canada with this shady low level diplomas and degrees, but also your entire future because it will probably be like this for at minimum, the next decade, given the current numbers. It's hard enough for actual domestic students to get jobs, who have lived and and worked here their whole lives, it will only be harder for you as a foreigner. Your chances of being the "lucky one" to hit it big are very, very slim.

This job market is terrible. I'm also sorry and heartbroken as a Canadian how much exploitation there is. I studied abroad and it was a wonderful cultural exchange. I hope we can do better to not continue human trafficking through these education mills and so on. I think a good way to figure out if their education is worthwhile is to ask themselves if an American or European country or university there would look positively at your credentials. They know UoT, but they don't know Conestoga.
