[Canada College] Employment guaranteed upon entering college. Introducing the Oxford College. (CCA and ECE program)

The college and the specific program we are about to introduce is currently the quickest and most reliable way to obtain Canada Permanent Residency after studying in Canada. Here is the OICC’s CCA (Continuing Care Assistant) program, a guide to the approximately two-year journey leading to employment and permanent residency.

Now first of all, what is OICC?

Many private colleges are facing difficulties with financial issue due to the pandemic and many of them had to close down.

The academic curriculum, the college's practical training facilities, and the local employment connection power... in fact, must be supported by the college's financial resources.

In a time when everyone is taking a cautious action due to the pandemic, OICC acquired CLLC and ECLC, which are two major language schools, and established a college called Oxford International Career College.

It is reasonable to assume that there is no problem with their financial strength.

Other than the financial strength, there is one more thing to go over, which is ‘History’.

Time itself becomes history and has power.

Oxford International Career College, established in 1991, has been in the global education industry for over 30 years, offering a range of programs for students to achieve their dreams and grow their careers.

As it is shown in the name itself, OICC origins from the UK/England but owns various campuses in the USA, Canada and Australia, providing excellent curriculum around the English-speaking countries.

OICC operates various programs mainly focusing on Vocational Education and Language programs for local and international students on each campus.

OICC has two campuses within Canada in Vancouver (BC) and Halifax (NS). (Only language programs are available in Toronto.)

Both cities are famous with local and international students and are among the safest and most adaptable cities for extracurricular activities and everyday life outside college.

OICC’s Vancouver campus is located in downtown Vancouver, making it a great place to study and enjoy Canadian culture.

OICC Vancouver Campus offers Business Management and Hospitality Management programs along with language courses.

By providing programs adjusted to the characteristics of the city, the campus offers to those who want to effectively upgrade their business mindset or gain professional knowledge in a short period of time.

Both programs are Diploma courses and with the option with co-op and non-co-op. 

Program with co-op course will be up to 96 weeks, 48 weeks of in-class study and 48 weeks of work practicum. With the non-co-op course there will be 48 weeks of in-class study to obtain the diploma.

The Halifax campus is located in east of Canada.

Now we would like to introduce the most uprising programs in OICC, which would be Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) and Early Childhood Education (ECE).

Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) is the most spotlighted field as a route from employment to permanent residency due to high demand due to the aging population.

As of 2023, 1,590 related job availabilities were confirmed.

It is a program that is systematically operated under the management of the provincial government, step by step, from the number of college attending students to the number of graduates to the job market.

The Continuing Care Assistant (CCA) in OICC is composed to train the professional caregiver/continuing care assistant, so they are able to be put into practice soon.

It is a certificate course with 40 weeks of studying and the tuition fee is CAD$ 21,000.

In order to apply for the OICC, potential students’ needs to meet the following requirements.

International Grade 12 Diploma/Certificate or over

Language Requirements: IELTS academic 6.0/CELPIP 8/TOEFL 78/PTE 55/ELLT (Overall) 6/ UCP level over 400.

Interestingly, there is age limit for applying for this program and the availability of for age is from 19 to 53.

Should the potential student does not have an English test result, student can enroll through the pathway at the Oxford College language institute. Those who have the language skills but do not have an official language score for admission can meet the language requirement through Oxford College's own level test.

Once all the admission requirements are met, students will be requested for an interview. 

The purpose of the interview is because the CCA’s main role is to communicate smoothly with the client (future patient).

The main strength of the OICC is that all the Continuing Care Assistant course is that every class provides in-person class. This makes it easy for the students to form a relationship with the faculties and by combining in-person class and practice, students can experience maximum utility that cannot be obtained from online classes. During the studies, students will obtain qualifications for practical work while studying, and the college will do everything to provide all kinds of support for students.

Actually, the biggest support which OICC gives is the ‘Employment Guarantee’.

OICC confidently said that they would fully refund the tuition fee if the students cannot find the job, which may seem like a reckless attempt from others point of view. However, from Murphy’s perspective, with a business mind, don’t believe this is a reckless attempt. Considering the number of professional CCA training institutions in Nova Scotia, graduate students and the supply of nursing home, the idea of full refund is actually a smart tactic coming from confident data analysis.

As of 2024, the semester opens every other month in March, May, July, September and November. 

As of now, it is safe to apply for November semester. 

Next is the Early Childhood Education (ECE).

ECE program in OICC, as mentioned previously, includes not only the basic ECE-related courses, but also safety and well-being, and other areas that children need beyond education.

OICC ECE program is 50 weeks course, and the tuition fee is CAD$ 21,000.

For the admission requirements;

International Grade 12 Diploma/Certificate or over

Language Requirements: IELTS academic 6.0/CLBPT 7/TOEFL 78/ELLT (Overall) 6/ UCP level over 400.

This program also has age limit for applying and the availability of for age is from 19 to 53.

Additionally, there will be a Pre-Screening interview and it is also similar to the CCA program. As the Early Childhood Educator requires high communication skills as well, the admission team will mainly focus on communication skills rather than language skills.

Also, as a mandatory requirement, 2 recommendation letters are required as well. This must be given by the relevant institution with children. Please contact us for thorough consultation with Murphy.

If there is no English test result, pathway can be arranged with the Oxford College language institute or can meet the requirement through Oxford College's own level test.

The ECE program is also formed with both in-person class and practicum for 50 weeks. In-person class and practicum will take turns so the students will have 4 opportunities for work practicum. Once the student completes the course, they will receive a Diploma (equivalent to 2 years course) and there are no vacations or semester break between 50 weeks.

Students will receive Level 2 ECE Classification upon completion of program and as OICC is a private college, the opening semester varies. Upon 2024, October and December semester is available at the moment so any potential students could aim for October admission for quickest entrance.

We sincerely hope the information above was helpful.

It has been confirmed that the Oxford Foundation is an educational foundation that provides an excellent curriculum with a long history and reputation.

Now, going one step further, equipping with the most reliable weapon by studying (40/50 weeks) and permanent residency (approximately 1 year), we are ready to meet our potential students.

For further information and consulting please do not hesitate to contact us and we do hope that everyone will grab this opportunity.
