Program overview
The College Diploma - Music Industry Arts (MIA2) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
MIA is the most famous recording-arts program in Canada — two years of production, engineering and music business taught across world-class studios, with an alumni wall that reads like Canadian music history. Admission is competitive and the reel produced is the point: graduates leave with credits, not just credentials.
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.
Under current rules, PGWP access for this credential depends on CIP 10.0203 (Music production and recording arts) remaining an eligible field — a check worth repeating on Fanshawe’s live list right before you apply.
