I have researched a looot about colleges in Canada specially in Vancouver, I watched hundreds of videos on youtube and I can say that Cornerstone is one of the BEST options you could ever consider. The staff is so kind and friendly. The teachers I had were experts in their own fields and had so much to share. I have nothing to complain. The whole cornerstone team have a special place in my heart, specially Helin from Career Services. I could only get my job because of her orientation and patience. I was hired in my fist interview and I'm forever grateful for the support!! Thank you a lot for all the opportunities!

Two months already spent at Cornerstone in hospitality management co-op diploma and I can say that it is a fantastic school. From the administration, teachers and students such a pleasant environment and what about the activities for social and professional integration: what is needed when it is needed. Thank you to Ms. Helin and her team for the coaching workshops that helped each of us build a successful career. Cornerstone is the school for you.

I’ve been living in Vancouver for three months now, and I can confidently say that my experience at Cornerstone College has been exceptional. The classes are fantastic, and the Career Services Department is an essential part of the school. They are truly dedicated to connecting students with the job market and supporting our professional growth. I’ve had the privilege of receiving guidance from Helin, who has been incredibly supportive since the very first time we met. She took the time to get to know me personally and understand my background in order to help me find job opportunities that matched my experience and goals. The workshops she led were extremely valuable—I learned how to tailor my resume and how to succeed in Canadian-style job interviews. Helin also helped me practice through mock interviews, which made me feel much more confident. Thanks to her support, I secured over 10 interviews in just one month, and within two days, I received two job offers. It was an amazing moment for me, and I know that her help played a key role in achieving that success. Helin is not only highly skilled and professional, but she also has a wide network of contacts in the city, which is a huge asset for students trying to enter the local workforce. I truly hope she continues helping many more students at the school. Without a doubt, Helin and all Carrer Services Department is a key pillar in making Cornerstone one of the best schools in Vancouver for international students.

I am a student at Cornerstone College, where I have been studying IBM since July 2, 2024. The campus is beautiful, and its location is excellent. The instructor and my advisor Mr. Yogesh is very knowledgeable and supportive, which has made learning the subjects and about college's policies and activities very easy for me. The culture and people here are great, and I am very happy to be studying at this college.

My experience with Karen was excellent. From the beginning of the school enrollment process, she was very nice and always available to answer all my questions. She demonstrated great patience and professionalism, which made the entire process much easier and clearer. Her support was invaluable, and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of assistance with similar processes. Such a positive experience!
