Humber College, Toronto Ranking 2026 from QS, THE & US NEWS

• I am still looking for full-time opportunities but few of my classmates have gotten them, so I would say about 20-30% of students got their job within 1 year of completion. Students mostly find them by online job portals like indeed LinkedIn.

• Accommodation was pretty much the same. Finding accommodation is getting a bit harder now and monthly rent in GTA area for sharing is around 500-600 cad

• According to the professors, it’s an entry level course. You’ll have to do some other course related to the field you’re in. Also my course is very generic so you don’t get too deep knowledge about the course. If you’re enrolling in any post graduate roles you’ll need to some other certifications so enter the job market.

• Accommodation you can find it through facebook market place Kijiji. If you’re looking for a sharing room, it can cost you around $500-800 and if you want a private room it can cost you around $700-900 or more depending on the location and house.
• Some people tends to save money by leasing the whole house. You might be charged more if the house is not shown by the house owner

• Given the current economic condition in Canada, it has become quite challenging to find full-time employment after graduation. Very few of my batchmates were able to land a job. I would say, out of every 10 people, only 1 or 2 managed to secure a job, and that too was only possible because they had strong references. The salary range varies depending on experience, seniority level, previous background, and the type of job being applied for. For example, someone working as a Financial Representative at one of the banks in Canada is initially paid around 18–20 CAD per hour. One of my friends, who works as an Underwriter at a reputable insurance company, earns 22 CAD per hour. Another friend of mine, with several years of experience as a Project Proposal Writer, secured a role as a Project Manager and is earning around 60–70K CAD per annum.
• The major trend in Canada is consistent job applications, seeking references, and networking, primarily through LinkedIn. I have known people who found a job only after 9–10 months or even a year of continuous effort. A lot of people I know—or have come across on LinkedIn—are working at banks in Canada like TD, CIBC, etc. This has become a popular field among students. Again, securing a job at these places wasn't through college support but entirely based on personal effort, connections made in Canada, or contacts already established before arriving. Some of my housemates, with whom I stayed, were also working as Representatives at banks.
   

• During my first semester, I stayed in the college residence, which was quite easy to apply for through Humber College’s official portal. After that, I moved to off-campus housing for the remainder of my course. I changed places once more after a year, so in total, I stayed at three different accommodations during my studies. The first off-campus place (after leaving the residence) was found through Facebook Marketplace—which, surprisingly, is extremely popular in Canada. Whether you're looking for rentals, roommates, furniture, or even selling used items, Facebook Marketplace is the go-to platform. The third place I moved to was through acquaintances, so it didn’t require much effort. Some of my friends also used real estate agents, especially those who had specific requirements like pets or needed fully private spaces. There are other online options as well (e.g., Kijiji, Rentals.ca), but Facebook Marketplace worked best for me due to the variety and availability.
• Across all three accommodations, my average rent was around CAD 850/month. In every place I lived: Utilities like electricity, hydro, and Wi-Fi were included in the rent. The first two places were fully furnished, while for the third one, I had to buy some furniture myself. All of my accommodations were within 5–10 minutes walking distance from the Humber Lakeshore campus. Many students, especially Indians, prefer to stay in Brampton, Mississauga, or Scarborough, where rent is cheaper. However, those locations are farther from campus, and I chose to stay nearby — even if it meant paying more — because I preferred having a private room and being close to college and friends.
• Finding the first off-campus place was tough. We started searching 1 to 1.5 months in advance, but many listings weren’t reliable — some landlords didn’t respond, and in other cases, multiple students were competing for the same place. When I finally found a suitable place, I paid the deposit immediately after viewing it, because I knew it wouldn’t be available for long. Moving out was emotionally and physically overwhelming. I was constantly worried about things like: Will I get along with housemates? Will they be clean and respectful? What if they’re too noisy or inconsiderate?. Living in shared accommodations often comes with a lot of compromise, and it never truly feels like home.
• Recommendations for Future Students: If you have friends or contacts in Canada, definitely seek their help during your accommodation search. It makes a big difference when you're settling in a new country. If you can afford it, stay in the college residence during your first semester. It’s convenient and saves you from the stress of immediate house-hunting. Facebook Marketplace is a great resource — but be cautious. Do not sign leases or transfer any money while you’re still abroad. Try to visit the property in person or have someone you trust check it out to avoid scams. Unfortunately, international students are often targeted by scams, especially when arranging housing from another country. So stay alert and verify everything before committing.
   

• 80–90% of students graduating from Humber secure a full-time job with 6–8 months of program completion but it completely depends on the individuals and their networks. From the first month itself, Humber helps students to make networks with industry professionals and the rest is up to the students how they convert these connections into referrals and then to job offers. Salary ranges from 60 to 120 thousand dollars annually for IT students.

• The best way to find accommodation is through Facebook Marketplace and through various Facebook groups. Agents also help in getting good accommodation options but they are usually more expensive than the ones listed on the marketplace. Overall, it is not very difficult to find a good house, even on a tight budget.

• The current job market is quite challenging, and many graduates face difficulties securing full-time roles within 6 months of completing their program.
• While some do manage to find positions through internships or networking, a significant portion of students are still in the job search phase due to bad market and it is even more difficult while being a fresher as they look for candidates with some experience which is hard to have without a job.
• After graduating you can expect an annual package of $50000 to $70000 depending on the role and the company.
• One of my classmate is working a data scientist in a startup and he was able to get that job after doing a capstone project with that company and then getting a offer to work with them although he is making roughly $30000 which quite less than the standard but since it is a start up they can only offer as much. However it is still a good starting point that allows to learn and gain valuable experience which will help get a better job later. Some of the top firms that hires graduates from my program include Bell, TD Bank, RBC bank, Deloitte, Dell, HP, Microsoft, TCS etc. These are some the top companies that look for people with the skills that are taught in my program and pay a good salary as well.
   

• I found my accommodation through Facebook Marketplace after about two months of searching. Initially, I stayed with a relative, but they lived far from the college, and it took me around 2 hours to commute by public transit. Eventually, I found a place closer to the college, paying $650 per month for a single room, which included utilities like electricity, hydro, and Wi-Fi.
• Finding affordable accommodation was challenging as things have gotten expensive here from past few years, most places cost around $800 to $1000. So would I recommend starting your search 2-3 months before your arrival and using platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji or WhatsApp groups to find your accommodation, also research about the locality as some places have higher rate of crimes and drugs being legal is also an issue here. Talk to the person who has posted the ad for the room to make sure the are genuine and not scammers as it's common these days.
• My accommodation is about 20 minutes away from the college by bus and 10 minutes by car. It is very convenient as I need to only take one bus which goes directly to my college.
• Many students and some of my classmates took the same bus as many students live near college and many also came from Mississauga and Brampton where majority of students stay.
   

• People do get employed but not in the field they studied in.
• If all the extra online certifications are asked, a student can earn $20-21 .
• Students ask their professors to help them out or apply through indeed and ask people for referrals.
• For my batchmates, a minority of them might have landed in this field. mostly, everyone is doing work in the fields they didn't graduate in.
   

• I had my brother living there already. so, I lived with him and later on, when we changed the house we took help from real estate agents.
• The monthly rent for us was 1600$. since it was a personal basement. It just included some basic furniture such as a refrigerator, oven and microwave.
• For future students, find a place to live before you go; harsh truth but no relative is going to keep you with them since it is extremely expensive and they wont have space for you.
• I used to live 30 mins away from my college. Most of the students used to live nearby the college.

It is my 1st semester and my placement will start from 3rd semester.

I decided to study in Humber because it offered the best nursing course across Ontario. Even they are providing mandatory Co-op, Humber is organising extracurricular activities every week which helps to relax the students. Humber North Campus is just a few steps away from the Bus terminal. My overall experience at Humber is the best.

No placements are offered, it's just an application in which we can apply by ourselves and try our luck.

I chose this college because of it's quality education and this is one of the most respected educational institutions in Toronto with it's beautiful campus and placements, practical approach used in teaching. One of the best colleges in Toronto, highly recommended for the quality of education they provide.

We had continuous job fairs where the college would call companies and it was left upon us to connect with them. Everyone in my class has landed a placement

Sop was required and one of the main points was proving that I came back to India Because it offered the best course of my field. As per my research, it was one of the best colleges for an international student. The commute and the location also was a big factor that led me to choosing this college.

There is a compulsory co-op in my course which makes it easier to get a placement after the completion of the course. The salary start from $20-$25.

I chose humber because it is one of the best schools for business here in Canada. Studying abroad has been really a good decision. I’ve met a lot of people from different path of the world. So cultural diversity is a major factor here. Besides the college experience so far has been really good and I am looking forward to making more memories.
