Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in property development, covering development feasibility, planning approvals, construction oversight, property management and investment analysis.
Real estate is recorded under a planning and development code rather than a business one, which is likely why it appears on the aligned list.
Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development and Management is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The real estate development certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the real estate development certificate under CIP 04.1001 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 04.1001 against the current eligible list before paying for the real estate development certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the real estate development certificate can support a study permit.
Entry to Graduate Certificate in Real Estate Development and Management is a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the real estate development certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the real estate development certificate. The real estate development certificate lists five entry windows across September, January and May. Apply Study Visa manages your the real estate development 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.

- Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.

- Work rights: Conestoga lists the real estate development certificate as PGWP-aligned under CIP 04.1001, supporting a work permit of up to one year. 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.
