  • Dear Students, These are difficult times and we admire you all. You are handling this uncertain crisis with resolve and bravery. You have all taken to heart that pandemic does not mean panic. I want you to know that we will be here for you if you have any questions and concerns. We will be checking in on you over the next few weeks to see how things are going. As most of you know by now we have decided to close on Thursday not Friday as originally planned. This is because there have been further developments announced by the government and we feel we should move online as soon as we can. For those of you who are taking our online program we know this isn’t perfect. We know that you came here not just to learn but to have experiences. That is why every VGC student who does our online classes will get an extra week of ESL studies in class. If you cannot use this at this time, you can come back and use it or transfer this credit to a friend. It will be valid until the end of 2021. Speaking of the online classes, we are very excited about them. I know it is a strange time to “nerd-out” but looking them over, they are pretty cool. It’s the same schedule as usual but you will be able to enjoy them while you are safe at home during this crazy time. And really, this is the best time to learn English or continue studying. I can’t think of a better use of this time as we wait for things to pass. Why not get smarter instead of watching Netflix all day? Lastly I want to say that this is a moment in time. It will pass. Things will get better. But it is these hard moments that character is defined. I would like to remind everyone that there is an opportunity here to show your true character. Let’s make the most of it! Sincerely, Dominic Walton Executive Director #VGCcollege
  • COVID-19 update, March 17: IMPORTANT message to all VGC students! As per update from March 16 VGC will take classes online starting Monday, March 23. We will now be closed on THURSDAY and FRIDAY this week for the transition online. We will be running courses as usual until Wednesday, March 18. Please keep updated on our news and alerts on Facebook or Instagram. Please also ensure that you have a current email address in the student portal so you can receive all information. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly at marketing@vgc.ca for any questions or concerns.
  • COVID-19 Update, March 16: An important message to all of our students and partners from our Executive Director: EDIT: VGC is now closing Thursday, March 19! Dear Students and Partners: VGC International College is watching the COVID-19 situation closely. As we are based in British Columbia, the situation is currently not as serious as it is in Ontario but is becoming more concerning daily. Public schools remain open and the provincial government has advised we do the same but take precautions as the threat still remains low. Although the British Columbia government and health authorities state that it is still safe and there is no reason to close the school, we have taken the decision to take our classes ONLINE starting MONDAY, MARCH 23. At present we will be doing online classes for two weeks until April 6. However, it is important to note that this may change with the current situation and students and partners should subscribe to our Instagram or Facebook for any changes that may happen. We will run courses as usual this week until Thursday, March 19. We will be closed on Friday for the transition online. Furthermore, with the best interests of our students and staff in mind we have decided to CANCEL ALL ACTIVITIES and GRADUATION CEREMONIES until further notice. As the Canadian government will not be accepting any further flights to Canada, all future students have the choice of postponing, canceling or taking our online courses. We should note that all of our online courses are government (PTIB) approved and follow the same high-standard we have with our face-to-face classes. I want to thank our teachers and staff who have pulled together like a true team to get through this tough time. I am particularly proud of our students whose resolve remains strong under strained circumstances and who continue to show calm during this time. Over the next few weeks our counsellors will be reaching out to you to check-in and making sure you are OK. We will continue to take care of our students as though they were our own family. I am proud to belong to a resilient school culture that leads in these hard times.
  • COVID-19 UPDATE, March 15: ATTENTION all VGC students! VGC International College will remain OPEN during the week of March 16 to 20. All classes will continue as scheduled until further notice. Our governing body Provincial Training Institutions Branch (PTIB) of British Columbia has advised us to stay open as “The Provincial Health Officer (PHO) is not recommending closure of any post-secondary institutions at this time.” Therefore we will stay open at this time until the situation has changed. Please be assured that we are watching the situation closely and will act accordingly. We do understand that some schools have closed but these school are based out of Ontario and their situation is different from British Colombia. These schools follow the regulations of their provincial government. It is important to note that the risk in British Columbia is still rated as low at this point of time, but we will be moving with provincial and federal government regulations as they come. Do NOT attempt to come to class if you have a cold, fever or flu like symptoms. Please be responsible and isolate yourself. We appreciate everybody’s patience and understanding in this current situation and we understand that there may be a number of questions to our staff. We will keep updating you as we learn more. For urgent inquiries or concerns please contact us directly at marketing@vgc.ca.
