About North West College
North West College (NWC) is a small public regional college in northwest Saskatchewan, with campuses in North Battleford (about 20,000 people) and Meadow Lake (about 5,000). For international students it offers only a handful of one- and two-year programmes: Continuing Care Assistant, Early Childhood Education Level II Certificate and Level III Diploma (Battlefords), and Heavy Equipment & Truck & Transport Technician (Meadow Lake).
The college says its international programmes are PGWP eligible under IRCC rules. Tuition is CA$18,575 to CA$23,500 for a one-year programme, which is modest for Canada. These are hands-on care, early childhood and trades programmes rather than degrees, and international applications are handled through Saskatchewan Colleges.
