Why choose NLC?
Starting on the right path in Canada is important. Here are some of the reasons why your Canadian journey should start at NLC.
“The tuition is affordable, but also the people here—the instructors and staff—they’re willing to help you with all your needs, not only specifically in your studies, but also in your personal life.”
– Myrene, class of 2021 (Philippines)
“Taking the risk to come to Canada is something that is totally worth it. It’s worth the time you spend on doing this process and the money you spend, because it’s a country that is opening the doors for international persons, it’s giving opportunities.”
– Carolina, class of 2021 (Colombia)Where we are
Our two largest campuses are located in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek, small cities in the scenic Peace River region of northeastern British Columbia (BC). Our region is easily accessible, with flights from Vancouver and Calgary.
