What will your income look like after graduation?

Let’s get straight to the numbers.

Real Salaries After a Two-Year Diploma

Based on data from Statistics Canada and PayScale, here’s what international graduates with co-op experience typically earn:

• Year 1 after graduation: CAD 33,000–38,000

• By year 3–5: CAD 50,000–60,000+

These aren’t just estimates. This is what graduates across Canada — especially those who completed programs with built-in work experience — actually report earning. Your starting point may be entry-level, but co-op experience gives you the edge to grow quickly in the workforce.

Why Canadian College Graduates Are Set Up to Earn

At Canadian College, we build every program around career outcomes. That means:

• Two-year diplomas in high-demand fields: IT, Business, Hospitality, and Healthcare

• Integrated co-op work terms so you graduate with Canadian job experience

• A campus located in downtown Vancouver, putting you in the heart of the city’s business and tourism networks

• Post-graduation support and immigration pathways, including work permits and options for permanent residency

Our programs are designed not just to teach you — but to help you earn.

Education That Pays Off

The real value of a diploma isn’t in the piece of paper — it’s in how it helps you build a future. At Canadian College, students don’t just leave with knowledge; they leave with résumés, references, and a foothold in the Canadian job market.

If your goal is to start strong and grow into a long-term career in Canada, the right education can make all the difference.
