Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Recreation

A one year graduate certificate in recreation therapy, covering therapeutic programme design, assessment, working with older adults and disability, documentation and supervised practice, with applied practice running through the programme.

Conestoga records this under a rehabilitation code rather than a recreation one, which is why it appears on the aligned list where sport administration does not.

Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Recreation is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The therapeutic recreation certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the therapeutic recreation certificate under CIP 51.2309 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 51.2309 against the current eligible list before paying for the therapeutic recreation certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the therapeutic recreation certificate can support a study permit.

Applicants to Graduate Certificate in Therapeutic Recreation need a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent.

Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the therapeutic recreation certificate. The therapeutic recreation certificate lists six entry windows across the annual intake cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the therapeutic recreation certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
