Program overview
A two year college diploma in insurance practice, covering underwriting principles, claims handling, risk assessment, insurance law and regulation, customer practice and an optional co-op work term.
Insurance is a stable Canadian employer with genuine entry level demand and a clear progression ladder, though the field of study position is a separate question entirely, and it is that question rather than the job market which governs whether you can stay.
College Diploma in Business, Insurance is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The insurance diploma sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the insurance diploma under CIP 52.1701 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC alone decides, so verify 52.1701 against the current eligible list before paying for the insurance diploma. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the insurance diploma can support a study permit.
Admission to College Diploma in Business, Insurance requires Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the insurance diploma is recorded at CAD 14,588. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the insurance diploma. The insurance diploma lists three entry windows, one in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the insurance diploma application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
- 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 110.

- 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: Conestoga lists the insurance diploma as PGWP-aligned under CIP 52.1701, supporting a work permit of up to three years. Verify the code against the IRCC list before paying. 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.
