Program overview
The College Diploma - Civil Engineering Technician (Co-op) (CIN1) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
The co-op civil stream weaves paid placement into the technician curriculum — field seasons spent surveying, testing and inspecting on live projects. Consulting firms staff their junior benches largely from their own co-op pools; CIN1 puts students inside that pool a year before graduation.
Southwestern Ontario’s hub city hosts the program: a health-care, insurance and EV-manufacturing economy whose provincial immigration streams favour graduates working outside the saturated GTA.
PGWP eligibility for this credential turns on its field — CIP 15.0201 (Civil engineering technology) — appearing on IRCC’s list at your application date, so verify on Fanshawe’s official page first.
