Lists maintained by provincial and territorial governments

Private career colleges are institutions that are privately owned and authorized to operate as commercial enterprises for the purpose of offering private training programs after it has been established, for consumer protection purposes only, that they meet minimum financial and other requirements. They must be registered or licensed, as applicable, under provincial or territorial legislation. As potential consumers, students must take the same care and precautions when choosing a program as they would take when making any other major purchase.
