For over 40 years, Anderson College has been a partner to
thousands of students who have overcome career
challenges and transitioned to the next phase of their lives.
With 5 locations in Toronto, Mississauga and Hamilton, we
are recognized for the depth and quality of our faculty,
hands-on training and supportive culture.
Anderson College knows first-hand how stressful and
frightening it can be for our students to establish a career
in a new country, or to build a career in a country they’ve
spent years in. Our environment of comradery and
community provides a much-needed respite from the
stresses of starting over. We are more than our programs
and our facilities; we are a team of dedicated and caring
individuals who are deeply committed to helping our
students.
Our students come to us from all corners of the globe and
each has a unique story to tell. We celebrate their
individuality and support them as they strive to overcome
challenges and create a better life for themselves and their
families. Within our community, we build a culture of
equality and care.
Our high-calibre faculty, comprised of industry experts,
deliver practical programs and real-life career training,
which enables graduates to become skillful, confident and
in-demand employees.
We believe our students have what it takes to succeed, we
just prove that they can.

“I came to Canada struggling to survive and working jobs day and night because of my family’s financial
needs. One day I visited Anderson College, and I’m proud to say, it changed my life and gave me a new
perspective. I was warmly received … and realized it’s an advantage to train for a profession with a
highly reputable organization in the health sector. After successfully completing the course, I earned the
Canadian Society for Medical Laboratory Science Certification (CSMLS) … I give my gratitude to
Anderson College. They helped me prepare for those exams and now I am a qualified candidate for a
job in an honorable profession.”
~ Tonmoy P.
“I was in the middle of switching careers and choosing the right path was crucial. I attended a
personal interview with Anderson College and the rest is history. I am proud to be a product of
Anderson College. I walked into Anderson one day and, just months later, walked out richer -
professionally, personally, culturally and with new lifelong peers. I am grateful to Anderson
College for being instrumental in my success!”
~ Duane Z.
“I completed the 1-year Dental Assisting
program with flying colours, thanks to the
great teachers, mentors and the support of
new friends I now consider family. … I’ve
learned to never give up, be more mindful of
others, appreciate the little things, be
patient, persevere and always push your
limits! All thanks to Anderson College.”
~ Christine T.
“Anderson College is much more than just a
college; it’s a second home. My experience shows
that Anderson College is for anyone who is willing
to learn no matter your age or nationality. Thank
you to everyone at Anderson College who made
my career possible and for making my experience
sublime.”
~ Anesha T.
“When I came to Canada, I honestly had no clear
goals or a career path in mind. … With Anderson’s
friendly and supportive staff, I was able to fully tap
into my drive to learn. I was impressed by how I was
able to grasp the lessons with ease because of their
carefully formulated instructional materials. This,
and the real-world training, equipped me with the
right tools and know-how to help me realize my life-
long dream … and for that I am thankful.”

“Living in Canada for seven years as an immigrant was
challenging. I thought I would never have the chance
to study again, but everything changed when I visited
Anderson College. … [They] gave me the keys to
unlock doors to new opportunities and hopes. …They
guided me on the right path to help me achieve my
goals. They assisted me in improving my skills, abilities
and strengths … and to grow as an individual and be
more effective in my professional position. … Anderson
College helped me to stand out and be able to reach
my dreams!”
~ Eden C.
“I graduated from University in the year 2000 and
going back to school was my fear, but with the help
of the team at Anderson I quickly overcame that
fear. Thank you for helping, guiding and believing in
me … for being an inspiration in ways that have led
to my success and happiness … helping me be a
good role model for all those who have lost hope
and an inspiration to my kids, family and friends.
Now I know wherever I go, whatever I become,
Anderson College is a part of my success.”
~ Geriline D.
“I have always had a vision for my career
but did not believe that it was attainable.
Instead, I made conservative choices. I got
safe jobs but felt no job satisfaction. I
visited Anderson College in search of a
career I was truly passionate about. By
joining the Business program, my self-
realization began. … Today, I work at an
organization that is taking me one step
closer to the vision I always had. All of this
started with a visit to Anderson College. I
will remain forever grateful.”
~ Oluwademilade A.
“For many years I wanted to become a specialist in immigration law and Anderson College’s
Immigration Consultant program stood out as the premium institution for such training. … I was
greatly impressed by my visit to the campus – the close relationship between the professors and
students and a strong family feeling within the class … I feel that I added to and learned from
Anderson’s flourishing environment. ... I look forward to helping hundreds, if not thousands, of
families to overcome immigration and migration barriers so that they can stay and live together [in
Canada]."
~ Rayehe M.
Emigrating from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I had
a PhD in Immunology and had considerable
research experience, but no Canadian experience.
I did my research and selected a program that
allowed me to maintain a career in my area of
expertise. Anderson College taught me how to take
my first steps in Canada and I thank the college
and staff for their tireless efforts.
~ Winston Costa P.
"It was very helpful to meet new people for
someone who is new to the country and doesn’t
know anybody, apart from immediate family. I
learned so many new things under the guidance of
some brilliant mentors and in the company of
wonderful colleagues. I would like to thank
everyone at Anderson College who directly or
indirectly played a part in my success.”
~ Tasnim C.
