Northern College is a public Ontario college with campuses in Timmins, Haileybury, Kirkland Lake and Moosonee in Northern Ontario. It offers certificates, diplomas, advanced diplomas and a four-year BScN, with strengths in engineering technology, trades, mining, health sciences and veterinary sciences. A separate set of programmes, mostly in business, IT and health care management, is delivered in Toronto with Pures College of Technology, leading to a Northern College credential.

For Indian students, Northern's main draw is cost: most diplomas are estimated at about CA$17,377 a year for Fall 2027, including ancillary fees, which is low for Ontario. Popular choices include Computer Engineering Technician, Business – Accounting, the three-year engineering technology diplomas and Practical Nursing. The northern campuses are in small mining and forestry towns, so check part-time work and housing early.
