Program overview
The College Certificate - Pre-Health Sciences - Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees (PHS2) & Advanced College Diploma - Dental Hygiene (DHY3) is a 4 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
This packaged pathway pairs the Pre-Health sciences year with a reserved progression into Dental Hygiene — one of Canada's most competitive and best-paid health diplomas, where direct admission regularly turns away qualified applicants. One application secures the four-year route to a regulated profession with independent practice rights in Ontario.
The setting matters: London is a purpose-built student city of half a million, priced well below the GTA, with Express Entry and OINP pathways open to graduates who stay to work in Ontario.
Immigration planning starts with the field — CIP 51.1102 (Pre-health studies pathway) — and ends with IRCC’s decision. Check the official PGWP-aligned list before paying any deposit; eligible-field lists have changed before.
