Dear dprk007,

CDI College is not a scam. I have checked whether the various CDI
institutions are properly registered with the competent authorities in
the respective Canadian provinces, and they indeed are.

- The CDI institutions in Alberta are licensed under the Private
Vocational Schools Act.

- The CDI institutions in British Columbia are registered with the
Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia
(PCTIA).

- The CDI institution in Manitoba is registered under The Private
Vocational Institutions Act and Manitoba Regulation 237/02.

- The CDI institution in Nova Scotia is registered with the Nova
Scotia Department of Education.

- The CDI institutions in Ontario are registered with the Ontario
Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

- The CDI institutions in Québec are registered with the Ministère de l'Éducation.

- The CDI institution in Saskatchewan is registered with Saskatchewan
Learning, the province's department of education.

While registration alone says, of course, nothing about how good an
institution of education is, it proves that the institution exists.
Therefore, there can be no reason to consider CDI College a scam.

Best regards,
Scriptor

Dear Scriptor.

A highly diplomatic answer! I have deducted one star as I think your
definition of a scam is too rigid. TO my mind any organisation can be
a scam if they induce people to pay them money for which they return
no value.
(i.e. it does not alway have to be some anonymous idiot working out of
a basement in Lagos or Jakarta)

But i guess we are not going to settle this debate here :-).

Your list of licensing authorities was however useful.

I will therfore consider giving you back the star if you can find out one wee
piece of information related to my question.

I need the contact information for the head of the following organisation
- the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

I am assuming this would be the a minister in the Ontario Government.
If you can give me the name, address, e-mail and Phone Number of the
releventMinister and also the deputy minister that would be wonderful

Regards and Have a great day
