Program overview
The Advanced College Diploma - Computer Programming and Analysis (CPA3) is a 3 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
CPA3 is Fanshawe's deepest software preparation: three years spanning multiple languages, database design, systems analysis, web and mobile development, capped with co-op inside development teams. Where shorter programs produce coders, this one produces developers who have shipped — the distinction hiring managers draw when they screen junior candidates.
Students join a full college city on Oxford Street: labs, studios, residences and a students’ union with its own venues, backed by Ontario’s OINP and Express Entry routes for working graduates.
Its field maps to CIP 11.0201 (Computer programming and analysis); eligible programs of two years or more support a three-year PGWP. Verify on Fanshawe’s official PGWP-aligned list and with IRCC before applying — final decisions rest with IRCC.
