Data Science course in Montreal

If you’ll be attending the 9-week full-time bootcamp, simply entering Canada as a visitor with a valid passport is usually enough. That said, some people may require a visa or an Electronic Travel Authorization. While we don’t formally assist students with acquiring visas, we’re happy to point you in the right direction. Here’s some useful information to help find the travel documents you need.

If you’re planning on attending the 24-week part-time program, make sure to check (and double check!) whether you’re authorized to stay in Canada for the program’s entirety.

The cost of living might vary a lot according to your lifestyle. You can find here more information about the neighbourhood we are located at and also some links with apartments for rent - some of them are suggestions from our alumni.

Yes :-) We do support all our graduates in finding the right career path after the bootcamp, sharing them all the necessary resources to build the best LinkedIn profile, getting the best out of the alumni Slack channels, enjoy our exclusive perks, get prepared for technical interviews, land their first job as developers, product managers or in a data team, launch their startup or start their freelancing career.

We organize career weeks after each bootcamp that include inspiring talks, practical workshops, coaching session, and networking events with alumni. We also organize job fairs or networking events with recruiters every season (four times a year). See one of our career week' s video

However, we consider that the ability of each graduate to find a position after the bootcamp is highly based on the student's motivation and work. Guaranteeing 100% employment at the end of the bootcamp would be dishonest in that regard. When choosing a bootcamp, what you should focus on is the quality of the curriculum and teachers. You should ask yourself about the skills you will have at the end and the product you will be able to build. This is what will really make you hireable.

Keep in mind that Le Wagon has an excellent network within the tech industry and a very good reputation with recruiters. Our students massively benefit from this. Moreover, we now have thousands of alumni worldwide. This internal network is your first support when looking for a job: our alumni work for the best tech companies out there and can recommend you for a position, and they'll also be available to support you during the search - by answering technical or non-technical questions.

We have hundreds of alumni who graduated from one of our batches in Montréal, most of them living in the city. After Le Wagon, the majority found a new job (either as a product manager or developer). A part of them are working as freelancers now and around 10% of them are entrepreneurs. It’s a rich, diverse and vibrant community!

If you already have a work permit and are authorized to work in Canada, it will make the job search process faster. If it is not the case yet, find more information about different types of work visas. You could also check eligibility to immigration programs, such as Express Entry or Quebec Immigration Programs.

But again, as we mentioned before, to attend the full-time bootcamp you only need to enter to Canada as a visitor :)

Your tuition is tax deductible. We'll issue a T2202A for you to claim your tuition for the program on your tax return. For student living in Québec, we will also issue a receipt for your tax filing at Revenu Québec.

For local or national students: e-transfer (Interac), bank transfer, or cheque. For international students: Wise is a good option or World Remit.
