Why Choose Georgian College?
Graduate Employment Above Ontario's Provincial Average for 25 Consecutive Years
Georgian's graduate employment rate is 90.3%. This means more than 9 out of 10 graduates find work within six months of finishing their programme. Georgian has held this position above the Ontario college average for 25 straight years. Employer satisfaction sits at 100% for the same period.
6,000 Employer Partners and Work-Integrated Learning
Every Georgian programme includes hands-on learning. Most programmes include a formal co-op term, internship, or field placement. These placements happen through Georgian's network of more than 6,000 companies across automotive, tech, health, business, and trades in Central Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area. Students graduate with Canadian employer relationships already in place.
Canada's Only Ashoka U Changemaker College
Georgian is the first and only college in Canada to hold the Ashoka U Changemaker designation. This means programmes are built around real-world problem-solving and social innovation. Employers in business, health, social services, and technology actively look for graduates with this kind of training.
Seven Campuses Across Central Ontario
Georgian has seven campuses — Barrie, Orillia, Owen Sound, Midland, Muskoka, South Georgian Bay, and Orangeville. Many programmes are available at more than one location. Students can choose their campus based on lifestyle, cost of living, and how close they want to be to specific industries. Specialized trades, marine, and automotive programmes are offered at campuses located within those regional industries.
Barrie is Affordable and 90 Minutes from Toronto
Barrie is roughly 90 minutes from Toronto by GO Transit. Students get access to Greater Toronto Area employers without paying Toronto living costs. Diploma programmes start at $16,990 per year. Graduate certificates start at $17,900. The surrounding region offers skiing at Collingwood, boating on Georgian Bay, and outdoor access that most college towns cannot match.

I recently received my Australian visa, and I couldn't have done it without the incredible support of Shakila Apu from PFEC Global. Shakila Apu did a incredible job and gave her valuable time.She is not only friendly and approachable but also the best guiding counsellor I've worked with.I highly recommend PFEC Global and especially Shakila Apu to anyone looking for reliable and effective counselling for studying abroad. Thank you, Shakila Apu, for being such an amazing part of this journey!
Words can’t express how incredible my experience with PFEC Global has been! Their service was beyond exceptional. I received my visa and my dependent's visa smoothly. Navdeep was a true blessing—always patient, supportive, and full of positivity. She answered every question I had with care and kept me motivated throughout the entire journey. I am very grateful to my counselor, Rashini was also incredibly supportive and guided me at every step. I honestly can't measure how valuable their service was to me. I would highly recommend PFEC Global to anyone looking for trustworthy and outstanding visa assista...
I have been granted a student subclass 500 visa today, through PFEC global. And most importantly I want to thank Karsh sir, who not only did my process effortlessly but took care of every query, every obstacle that occurred, and if I am being honest, I had lost my hopes of going to Australia but then magically I was introduced to Karsh sir and he gave me that hope and today I got my student visa and all thanks god and our Karsh sir. Furthermore, i would highly suggest more students to just have a visit to PFEC global and get a consultation from beloved karsh sir, and I bet the rest will be taken care. Truly, my journey with Karsh sir and PFEC global has been an ease and i am more than grateful. 🙏🏼
