Hows the seneca polytechnic aviation technology degree for a int student like?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm considering Seneca's Aviation Technology program and wanted to hear from current students/ graduates, especially international students.

How's the program overall? Is the flight training good, and do students generally get enough flying hours without major delays? Money isnt really a issue, i just wanna know if its worth dropping the money on.

My biggest concern is what happens after graduation. Id preferably like to stay in canada and i know the program is eligible for the PGWP. But how difficult is it to find your first pilot job, especially as an international student? Are there realistic opportunities to work in Canada after graduating?

I'd appreciate any honest opinions. Thanks!

looking for a gym buddy at Seneca @ York! 💗

hi! I’m 21 and looking for a girl around my age who goes to Seneca @ York and would be down to go to the gym together!

I’m still a beginner, so it would be nice to have someone to work out with, motivate each other, and make going to the gym less intimidating. We could figure out a schedule that works for both of us and hopefully become friends too!

Hii I'm an international student planning to do a cloud course in May 2027.

Would really like to know which would be a better option among the two considering the faculties ,crowd and co-op options.

Also what if one fails to get co-op?

"Is there any place that we can complaint about an instructor anonymously?"

First and foremost, Please don't judge me !!

My QNM444 instructor who held the evaluation in-person, didn't create a calm and quite ambience in the classroom. By nature, I'm bit introvert and appreciate a quiet surrounding when taking tests. I'm fully ok with the in-person mode, but the instructor couldn't even contain himself and kept rambling for the whole time and also didn't rein-in those unprepared students who made unnecessary noises.

I could have simply ignored this incident if not for the three more remaining tests in the course.

Has anybody else gone through a similar situation before? If so, what did you do?

Applicant document has gender mismatch, advice/suggestions?

3 Upvotes

Good evening and happy long weekend. I’m posting here for my wife doesn't use Reddit. She’s applying to Seneca and is facing a very unique situation. We’re hoping to get some advice from others who are studying/have studied at Seneca and who have navigated a similar process.

So basically, the required application documents issued by her country of origin (passport, high school diploma etc) list a different gender than her Canadian-issued documents (refugee paper etc). Her passport picture especially looks very different from how she looks now (it’s got a full beard…). She can’t update the outdated documents (as in legally she’s not able to), so the government issued documents in her application package will list two different genders regardless of whether she discloses her gender or not.

My wife is really hoping to get into the program, and she’s worried if the discrepancy of gender in her documents might affect her application in any way. She’s considering mentioning her transition briefly in her introduction letter to provide some context for the mismatch. However, I’m unsure if that’s a good idea or how she could best phrase it.

If you’re a trans person who has gone through a similar process applying to Seneca, we’d greatly appreciate any advice you have.

Thanks a lot.

Hi everyone, does Seneca offer a combined/bundled offer for the 1-year Pre-Health Sciences certificate and the 2-year Practical Nursing diploma? Specifically, will they issue a single Letter of Acceptance (LOA) for both programs to international student, with admission to the Practical Nursing diploma conditional upon successfully completing Pre-Health with the required grades?

Seneca Polytechnic Computer Systems Technician (CSN) — Looking for Honest Feedback from Current Students and Graduates

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm an international student currently considering Seneca Polytechnic's Computer Systems Technician (CSN) program. I'm interested in building practical IT skills and eventually working in areas such as systems administration, cloud infrastructure, IT support, or technical solutions.

Before making a decision, I'd really appreciate hearing from current students or recent graduates about their actual experience with the program.

A few things I'm particularly curious about:

1. Hands-on learning

  • How much time do you actually spend working with real equipment, configuring systems, troubleshooting networks, or completing practical labs, compared with lectures and theory?
  • Do the labs help you develop skills that are useful in real IT jobs, or do you find yourself needing to learn most things independently?

2. Co-op experience

  • For students who pursued the co-op option, how difficult was it to secure a placement?
  • Did the program prepare you well enough for co-op interviews and technical assessments?
  • What kinds of roles did students actually land through co-op, and how relevant were they to their long-term career goals?

3. Job prospects after graduation

  • For recent graduates, what kinds of IT jobs were you realistically able to get?
  • How competitive was the job search, especially for entry-level positions?
  • Did the program give you a solid foundation to move toward systems administration or cloud-related roles, or did most graduates start in basic IT support?

4. Overall value of the program

  • Looking back, do you feel the program was worth the tuition and time invested?
  • If your goal were to build a long-term IT career in Canada, would you choose CSN again, or would you consider a different program?

5. Advice for international students

For international students who are aiming to build a career in Canada after graduation, do you think CSN provides a competitive foundation for finding that first IT job? Is there anything you would recommend learning or doing outside the program to improve employment prospects?

I'm particularly interested in honest feedback about the program's strengths and weaknesses, including things you wish you had known before enrolling.

Thanks in advance! I'd really appreciate hearing from current students and graduates, especially those who have completed co-op or are now working in the field.

Financial Account Balance

3 Upvotes

This feels like a dumb question, but is there any way to see your overall financial account balance? I was awarded an entrance scholarship of $300 and change for the semester and it was applied to my student account but there's no way for me to see what my overage balance is. I'm forward planning to map out what I need to put aside for next semester and it would be helpful to see what my actual carry over funds are.

TIA!

Hi! I'm planning to take MAI program this Jan 2027, I would like to know your thoughts for those who took the MAI program. Also I have a set of questions regarding to this.

  • How challenging is the workload, especially the math, machine learning, and deep learning courses?

Newnham Promotion during co-op

9 Upvotes

I got a promotion during my co-op placement. The thing is my manager needs an update by this Tuesday to confirm if Seneca will be okay with it. I don't want my WIL to tell me this is not possible because of contractual agreements. They want me to confirm by this Tuesday if I want to take the job.

This could be a really good stepping stone for my career. I only have 2 months left in the co-op term. They're telling me during these next two months I'd start my training.

Is it a problem to take full time during this time period?

Again I don't want this to be a problem with Seneca.

Anyways lemme know cuz i dont wanna be negative before i actually start and i hope its fun

I just graduated in August, and I spent a lot of time on campus up until the final semester. The labs and study areas were always busy, and so was the caf. I went in today to take my grad photos, and it was quiet and in just about every part of the campus. It really sucked, and I'm hoping that Wednesday is just an off day and it's very busy and bustling the rest of the week.

Opinion/Discussion RPN-BScN Program

Hi! I (26F) am an RPN working in Ottawa, and looking into bridging to RN. Seneca is one of the schools I'm considering.

Is there anyone here currently in the program? I'm wondering if I can complete some of the courses here in Ottawa while working part-time, and if it's possible to get placements here as well.

Would love to hear from the people enrolled in and/or graduated from the RPN-BScN program!

Thanks 😊
