Ontario is in dire need of health-care workers, but more than 90 students who graduated from a private college program to be ultrasound technicians have been told they won’t be allowed to get jobs in their chosen field.

"It's very painful for all the students. We tried our best to be sonographers, but all of a sudden everything changed," said Najmah Hashmine, an Etobicoke student who took the program.

A spokesperson for the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and Universities told CTV News Toronto, “Accreditation Canada determined in November 2022 that Canadian All Care College’s Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Program did not meet the professional standards set by the College of Medical Radiation and Imaging Technologists of Ontario and revoked CACC’s status.”

The college did provide refunds to all students for their tuition and some other expenses, but some students say they had other costs and also feel like they have wasted two years of time. “We hired qualified instructors, we have all the equipment needed, we invested millions into the program, we have fourteen ultrasound machines and they're not cheap," said Aryan.

If you (Ontario) offer the program(private or not, WHY would YOU NOT MAKE it meet ALL standards? WOW, Ontario you messed up!!!

What about CDI

Anybody heard of this college even

How about letting the unjabbed back to work..

If their ultrasound program and grads don't meet certificate criteria, I shudder to think what quality PSW's they're unleashing out into healthcare.

Hire back the ones you fired during the plandemic. Ridiculous.

How did it take years for the Ministry and relevant institutions to even notice a school with two campuses and pumping out students had not been meeting professional standards

So why are these schools allowed to exist? Isn’t there some agency that can verify accreditation so that people aren’t scammed out of their hard earned money?

Hire back those let go because of a 'vaccine.' They don't stop transmission.

Shocked or wanted a short cut to education? All accredited colleges or programs can be found in the appropriate government website with a NOC or National Occupational Classification?

Ponzi scheme aka fraudulent ' college' education?

Maybe if they hired the unvaccinated heros back.

If its not accredited…then they shouldn’t be able to work. Unfortunate, but thats the way it is.

Go figure...if is too easy than is not a school, is promenade ppl!!

One cheated students , another had been sleeping(!) 2 years - ultimately so many students is suffering. Exemplary punishment needed.

They should have done their homework. A simple Google search could have made all the difference

This is what happens when you flood the province with immigrants.

Canadian all care college? Anybody heard the name

Thts why the college name matters !!

There are shady ppl setting up bogus “colleges” in Canada, especially for the Indian international students. It’s a racket.

fordnation wasn't involved in this. The college did not main the level of training and education required. The students were made whole through refunds. If the students have an issue its with the private school. They may feel trained but need to take the courses to prove it

Sorry trudeau is bringing in 1 million new people in the next few months....

They're Technologists, not 'technicians'.

From the owner of the sketchy 'college'. 'he is hopeful that students who took the program will still find a way to work in the ultrasound field.' You would hope they wouldn't but, some unaccredited clinics may hire unlicensed staff. Go private healthcare!

Force all college employees to compensate all the cost of students for 5he next two years and send them to prison for two years after that.

What a disgrace Ontario is

Hang on, you're complaining that the government isn't allowing graduates of schools with no accreditation to work as medical professionals? If they did, you'd be reporting a scandal about the government not doing its job.

They don't deserve to be ultrasound technicians. They don't even know about snells law or incidence angles!

So typical of these private colleges fordnation the education is not recongnized by many. Their money is flushed down the toilet ! Ford failes Ontario again

Kind of reminds me of the collapse of everest_college in Canada
