Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in project delivery, covering scope definition and scheduling, budgeting and cost control, procurement, risk management, stakeholder communication and applied project practice.
Project management transfers across sectors and is genuinely useful, but Conestoga does not list it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which is the single fact that should govern your decision if you intend to work in Canada after graduating rather than returning home.
Graduate Certificate in Project Management is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the project management graduate certificate sits below degree level and does NOT appear on Conestoga’s own list of PGWP-aligned programmes. Treat the project management graduate certificate as carrying no post-graduation work permit unless Conestoga confirms an eligible CIP code for the project management graduate certificate in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the project management graduate certificate.
Applicants to Graduate Certificate in Project Management need a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the project management graduate certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the project management graduate certificate. The project management graduate certificate lists seven entry windows across September, January and May. Apply Study Visa manages your the project management graduate certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 22 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Business, marketing, media and design subjects generally do NOT appear on the IRCC eligible field of study list that governs post-graduation work permits for college credentials. Obtain written confirmation of the CIP code from Conestoga before paying any deposit.
- Work rights: The project management graduate certificate does NOT appear on Conestoga’s PGWP-aligned list. Assume no work permit unless the college confirms an eligible CIP code in writing. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities for college credentials, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant work permit.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
