Program overview
A three year advanced college diploma in systems analysis, covering software development, database design, systems architecture, business analysis method and an optional co-op work term.
Three years is the longest non degree credential here and supports the maximum three year work permit, with seven entry windows giving unusual flexibility.
Advanced College Diploma in Computer Systems Technology, Analysis and Design is taught at Sheridan College Davis campus in Brampton, a public Ontario college. The systems analysis and design diploma sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the systems analysis and design diploma under CIP 15.1202 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC alone decides, so verify 15.1202 against the current eligible list before paying for the systems analysis and design diploma. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the systems analysis and design diploma can support a study permit.
The academic bar for Advanced College Diploma in Computer Systems Technology, Analysis and Design is Grade 12 or equivalent with 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the systems analysis and design diploma is recorded at CAD 18,137. Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the systems analysis and design diploma. The systems analysis and design diploma lists six entry windows across September, January and May, the earliest in January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the systems analysis and design diploma application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
