Program overview
A three year advanced college diploma in accounting, covering financial and managerial accounting, taxation, auditing principles, accounting software, business law and financial analysis.
Three years of study supports the longest work permit Canada offers, which makes the field of study question the only thing standing between this diploma and a genuinely strong outcome for an international student. Few other Conestoga programmes sit in quite the same position.
Advanced College Diploma in Business Administration, Accounting is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the accounting advanced diploma sits below degree level and does NOT appear on Conestoga’s own list of PGWP-aligned programmes. Treat the accounting advanced diploma as carrying no post-graduation work permit unless Conestoga confirms an eligible CIP code for the accounting advanced diploma in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the accounting advanced diploma.
Applicants to Advanced College Diploma in Business Administration, Accounting need Grade 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the accounting advanced diploma is recorded at CAD 14,588. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the accounting advanced diploma. The accounting advanced diploma lists three entry windows, one in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the accounting advanced diploma 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: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 in every section; PTE Academic 53 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 110.
- 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 accounting advanced diploma 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.
