Graduate Certificate programs in Canadian Colleges are great alternatives for students who are not eligible for Masters/PhDs. Or those interested in programs offering practical training & hands-on experience.

For affordable options, check Colleges in Atlantic Canada & Prairies.
Provinces in these regions: Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba and Saskatchewan

A Graduate Certificate program in International Business Management is $​9,468/yr at New Brunswick Community College

Same program in Ontario is at least $18,000
Graduate Certificate programs are the same as Post-Grad Diplomas or Graduate Diplomas. They help you to show academic progression if you already have a Degree or Diploma (i.e ND/HND).

The programs are equally eligible for a Post-Grad Work Permit to stay back & work in Canada.

There are 6 time zones in Canada. For 2 people living in Canada, one person's good morning could be the other's good afternoon.....and that could be goodnight in Nigeria.

Adding that to newcomers trying to settle in, find jobs, adjust to the new system, etc...we can see the why.
11:00am in Vancouver is already 8:00pm in Nigeria. The person in Nigeria is already back from work using pepper soup to step down.

Imagine that person now expecting someone in Vancouver to stay on Whatsapp and be chatting or gisting over the phone.

Ni aro kutukutu ojo aje 😭
Even the person that is here as a student is trying to survive, hustle the next tuition or rent, or complete the assignments to keep his grades high and retain his/her scholarship.

And the assignments here dey choke... E be like thing wey you need to do to enter heaven 😭

Omo!
