After years of working in healthcare, Jacylou Pallorina was ready for a change. Having come to Canada from the Philippines, immigration was a subject that was close to her heart. She just needed a training course that was flexible enough to fit around her work schedule.

Herzing College’s online immigration case manager program fit the bill. She completed the training in November 2022 and now works for a Toronto-based immigration consultant—the very same immigration consultant who supervised her internship.

We interviewed Jacylou to learn more about her experience in the program and get her advice for prospective students.

Jay Dave was no stranger to technology. He already had a bachelor’s degree in IT as well as hands-on experience in the field.

Jay finished the course and his three-month internship in April 2022 and soon landed a job as a junior developer at a software company in Montreal.

We caught up with Jay recently to see how he found the training experience and what advice he would give other potential students.

Here’s what he had to say.
