M. A.

Last year I witnessed my son, who loves to learn, reluctantly going to school every morning and I set out on a journey wishing better for him... This decision brought us far away, but now it makes me incredibly happy to send him off every morning with a smile on his face and to pick him up from school with a happy face...
I would like to thank you and your team for enabling me to leave Yaman to an educational institution that I really trust. Reaching you has been our biggest chance. Every time we spoke to you from Turkey, we took the decisions together step by step and I sincerely thank you for your guidance.
We now live in one of the most beautiful big cities in the world, in one of the most decent neighbourhoods and have a world-class school, thanks to you! I believe that our friendship that started with your reassuring voice will continue...
As 'educational counsellors', I wish that all the children I know and don't know will cross paths with you one day...

C&C, first of all we would like to sincerely thank you for the whole process. Our long-standing friendship with dear Çiğdem and Cem was only in place at the very beginning of this process at the thought stage, but afterwards, they made our days extremely comfortable with their professional but sincere interest.
When we first met, Çiğdem made the idea of a language school in Toronto, which had seemed difficult to realise until then, possible with the practical options she offered. We decided on the most suitable school both financially and in terms of quality education for our son and made our decision in a very short time. The fact that Hakan was going to stay in Toronto for a long period of 6 weeks made us a little worried. However, Çiğdem and Cem were very helpful from the moment he landed at the airport to the moment of his return, and they did their best to ensure that our son had a good and productive time and returned home happily and did not feel lonely.
After the experience we had with Hakan this summer, C&C is an education counselling company that we would recommend with confidence to provide services in all matters related to education in Canada!

M. K.

I can say that everything went flawlessly and faultlessly in the Canadian journey we started with the dear C&C family, like one of my family, you adapted me and our 2 children to life here.
You did not leave us alone even in the smallest detail.
Thanks to dear Cigdem and Cem, this process was comfortable and peaceful for us.
On behalf of my family, I would like to thank you very much for your interest, concern and still not leaving us alone.

N. D.

We completed 1.5 months of summer school without any problems or doubts.
The reason for this peace of mind was Mrs Çiğdem and her husband Mr Cem. They were with our son at every moment. I thank them very much.
We will be together again in the future, at the university stage!

C&C Counsulting is the company we contacted after our son B.N.U. decided to study abroad, firstly we evaluated together where he should study abroad, after we decided on Canada, we decided together which university and which department should be. Since the founders of C&C Counsulting live in Canada and Istanbul, they know the education system of both Canada and Turkey very well, so they had an intensive interview process with our son in choosing the university and department, they answered every phone call and e-mail in a short time. After determining the university and department, of course, they made applications to other universities other than the university and department we chose, the application process is not an easy process, but thanks to their experience, we progressed easily. Our son is in his 2nd year at UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO, ROTMAN COMMERCE, Department of Finance and Economics and he is very happy with his choice. The founders of C&C Counsulting have been very helpful in our son's adaptation to Canada, accommodation and dormitory applications, and establishing social relations.

S. A.

Although everything happened very suddenly, you enabled us to open this path with careful, fast, appropriate and decent choices. My 2 sons and I made a very smooth transition thanks to you. The schools are beautiful, the environment is beautiful, but the most beautiful thing was to get to know beautiful people like you.
We wish that our friendship will last forever, thank you very much, we kiss you big kisses.

C. V.

Since I came here to the language school, you have taken care of every problem I had, not only about the school, but also about life in Toronto. You don't just see what you do as a job, you support your customers in every subject you deal with.
I am really happy to have met you. You are really the right choice for those who will study in Toronto. You are the person to whom families can safely entrust their children.

Our meeting with C&C was completely by coincidence.
While I was intending to go to the Netherlands, I called them with the advice of a friend and they were in Istanbul again by coincidence.
In our detailed meeting, they shared very clear and clear information about the school with us.
But we learnt from the Dutch experience that the decision to move is not only about the school. Our questions were about real estate, visa procedures and obtaining a residence permit, and they made sure that we contacted reliable people in these matters. I personally thought that I did not have much time, but Cigdem's explanations and my determination made me go to Toronto two weeks later. We stayed in Toronto for a week and on our third day we were able to rent an apartment we really wanted as well as the school we were looking for. Cem and Çiğdem never left us alone, thanks to them we had the chance to get to know the city better, I really thought that the definition of "Life Setter" was very appropriate for them. I understood the importance of someone who helps you to reach reliable and accurate information when you are stepping into a new life by giving up my thought that "I can handle everything". Now I can say that we would not have been able to go to Toronto this year without Cem and Çiğdem. Thank you both for everything.

My meeting with Çiğdem started when we went to Toronto for a university tour. My expectations from the Toronto trip were not much more than touring the campus and visiting some of the main places there. However, meeting Çiğdem Abla through a family friend helped me to spend the rest of our trip more enjoyable and to alleviate my worries about the future. The fact that she was very familiar with the university system in Canada and that she had important acquaintances in universities was one of her privileges. Although I did not have an appointment with the head of the application office at the University of Toronto, she made sure that I met with the person in charge of the application office, which greatly reduced the question marks in my mind. I was also confused when Çiğdem told me that, unlike the counsellors here, it was enough to get a passing grade in the IELTS exam, and that upgrading it would not make much sense in admissions. Because the counsellors in Turkey usually told me that it was important to raise your IELTS score and that just getting a passing grade would not be enough. Later, when I talked to the representatives of many other universities, especially the University of Toronto, I realised that Çiğdem was right. In summary, it was a great chance for me to benefit from her advice and guidance in this process. I recommend everyone who is thinking of studying in Canada to meet Cigdem Abla.

C. & H. B.

During our first child's US university applications, we received counselling support from well-known experts who have been working in this field for many years. We think that the support was limited to standard guidance and practices. We met dear Çiğdem Koçak during our second child's experience. We are very pleased to have a counsellor whose own child also studied abroad, who has experience in life abroad and in Turkey, who understands the developments in Turkey, family and student expectations. We know how difficult it is for families to make a comprehensive and accurate assessment in this process. C&C makes a difference by knowing the Canadian education system very well, recognising universities and departments, and evaluating student life and life after university. I wish that the number of happy and successful students and families supported by C&C will increase.

Y. K.

Thanks to C&C Çigdem Abla, who advised me in the best way possible in determining my goal and reaching this goal by walking on the right paths during my last years of high school and during the process of entering McGill University, where I am studying today, I am now at the most suitable university and department for myself. I would like to thank her endlessly for her counselling and all kinds of contributions while I came to the point where I am now.

Even if your child has an idea about what he/she wants to study, it is necessary to think much more broadly when it comes to choosing a university. Because these children can change their minds :) This is a very normal and highly probable situation. For this very reason, it is very comforting for the parents and the child to do this with a counsellor who knows the universities and their programmes very well in such a stressful and exciting period. Thanks to the help we received from C&C, we passed this stage easily. It is not possible to forget the help and support of the C&C consultant in the preparation of the additional files required by the University Programme we have chosen. Thank you very much for your efforts and support.

As someone who has worked with many different consultancy companies until today, C&C's service quality surprised me very much. They explain not what you want to hear, but what you may encounter about the subject they provide consultancy on in as much detail as possible, and they have solutions for everything, even for situations that you have not even thought of before. If you have any questions or problems, they are available 24/7 through many channels. For the first time, all my stress and worries turned into enthusiasm and excitement when working with a consultancy company. In this context, I can say that the most powerful aspect of C&C is the right way of communication and the trust they give. I hope they will always maintain this quality they have established as a company and continue to do good work that will change the lives of many students like me. In my experience, I can state to every person who is thinking of working with C&C that they have made the right choice and that they will always stand by you during your transactions.

I would like to thank C&C for all their hospitality, excellent support in all phases of our children’s Summer Schools (selection, application, ongoing course and follow up after the completion) both in Turkey and Canada.

Dear C&C friends, your guidance and knowledge about studying in Canada were extremely helpful. We are thankful for your friendly approach and being there for Andy during his summer camp. We will definitely need your guidance in the future for Andy's plans for schools and his studies.

Dear C&C, its been a great opportunity to work with you on our way to university. You got to know my daughter spot on, you knew what she expected from a university education, social needs from a campus and helped her apply to the right uni. and major all the way. You were accesable and always came back with accurate to the point answers. I strongly recommend C&C Consulting, they are 100points/100! Thank you it was a great pleasure working with you. Best.

J. A.

C&C did not leave anything to question, they made sure everything was completed, checked, and double checked. Very friendly yet professional balance when it comes to their customer service. Flexible hours. Fluent in multiple languages. Experienced. Resourceful. Strong network of collaborators, peers, and customers. Family oriented. Good at understanding what the customer needs and wants from their possible institution. All information is current and C&C, remains up-to-date to world news. I was very pleased with C&C as a whole and after having initially dealt with their competitors, I can most definitely say I made the best decision by following through with C&C.

M. G.

I personally was very worried about getting in to the right school and the right program for me, and I had a very hard time about choosing them during the application process. Fortunately, C&C was very helpful in consulting on my academic needs and guided me to the most appropriate program according to my preferences. Their strategy is recognizable in terms of how they achieve things in a very organized manner, with a maximum level of knowledge about the higher educational system in Canada. Enlightened my thoughts about applications with their multi perspective vision. Making sure they know the person they are working with, before proposing a program and a university to avoid any worries that may occur overtime. Professional, caring, and very helpful.

My daughter A.E., is 4th year Rotman Commerce student at University of Toronto. At the beginning like many young people she wasn't sure which school, which program fits to her.. In this case to get support from a professional consultant who is knowledgeable about universities and their programs and application process is so important.We were so lucky to work with C&C, as they spend enough time to understand her strengths, interests and ambitions.. She is graduating this year with honour and enjoyed every moment of her university life.. We can't thank C&C enough for their support...

D. K.

Great Thanks to C&C and specificaly Cidgem Kocak for all services we received during my daughter's university selection period. With all of these valuable services , my daughter set her target in a right way and hit the target ! She is very happy to get university education at McGill Desautel's Faculty of Management and she is very happy for her city Montreal selection. I highly recommend C&C if you want to get a very precise roadmap to hit your university target. C&C has deep valuable and practical knowledge about university education in Canada. Most importantly they listen student and family very carefully and have customised roadmap. Succes of university counselling of C&C comes from: Listening, getting all related information about student in terms of academic, social, family background and personal specifications and then provide shortlist of Universities that fits right to student. C&C is also very professional in terms of good university network, timeliness, good tracking of plan execution, high accessibility and fast response times. My Sincere Thanks to Cigdem , you have great, valuable contribution on our way to Canada!

The best decision I made was to study at the Rotman School of Management and I used the guidance services of C&C Consulting for it. They analyzed my individual strengths as a student, and carefully considered my needs. They even went the extra mile to connect me with the Dean of the program. At the end, I had valuable knowledge about the programs at Rotman Commerce, how if differentiated from other universities and majors, and also about what I had to do to be a successful candidate for the program. They were always ready to answer any questions I had regarding the process and their support throughout the phases was vital. I highly recommend C&C Consulting for students looking into enter universities. I think their guidance is valuable regardless of your certainty about where you want to be headed as a student.

Dear C&C Consultancy, although our son has extensively provided his positive feedback, we also wanted to take the time to thank you for your dedicated and prompt services that we received for our son's post-secondary choices. Both consultants, Cem and Çiğdem, have taken the time to analyse his personal situation, his expectations and provided detailed and effective solutions for him to consider. Not only the process was professional, the ‘end result’ was something our son took seriously & implemented right away. We feel comfortable recommending C&C Consultancy Services to parents who are looking for the BEST ADVICE for their children's education choices in North America and beyond. Keep up the good work.

B. N. U.

I can summarize C&C Consulting with 3 words; supportive, understanding and focused. Throughout my journey to college they were the reason why my experience was so smooth and effective. Their expertise both in the Turkish and the Canadian education system allowed me to express my needs and goals which eventually helped me to choose the program that I love to study (Rotman Commerce). I would like to thank for the support they gave me during the school hunt and for the loving care still this day.

As a parent, I was worried about higher education needs and an appropriate subject/program that was suitable for my daughter in Canada. C&C provided a flexible and bespoke consultancy service to help us with the assessment, guidance and application process and enhance university’s practice, policies and qualities. Thus helped us achieving our goals and impacted our educational strategies. C&C assists students and families to support their educational needs and desires by increasing the vision, quality, and status of teaching in higher education in Canada. C&C’s guidance for knowing the student first, than selecting the educational programs, application process and follow ups are top notching. Their professional competency will be internationally recognized soon. I and my daughter recommend ‘C&C' as an asset to any family who seeks Canadian educational service.

University application times are hard and stressful times, especially when you have supplementary requirements for all different programs you apply for. In my case, I had to have a six piece portfolio, as well as two essays and a resume and my mind was a mess from stress and pressure; everything I made effected my future in the end. That's why I am so glad and lucky to have had Cigdem and Ada by my side to help me. This way, I didn't feel like I was talking to myself and repeating the same ideas over and over again. I got the chance to discuss my ideas with them and told what I wanted to achieve from these pieces, and they helped me convey the message to the other side. The fact that they were keeping on track with my deadlines was a huge plus. Although the stress I felt didn't perish, the fact that I had these people by my side made me feel a lot better and it kept me sane throughout.
