Program overview
An accelerated route to the early childhood education diploma for applicants with prior post-secondary study, compressing child development, curriculum and supervised placement.
The intensive route enters from a completed diploma rather than Grade 12, and at CAD 18,937 it costs CAD 1,400 more than the standard version.
College Diploma in Early Childhood Education, Intensive is taught at Sheridan College Davis campus in Brampton, a public Ontario college. The intensive early childhood education diploma sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the intensive early childhood education diploma under CIP 19.0709 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC alone decides, so verify 19.0709 against the current eligible list before paying for the intensive early childhood education diploma. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the intensive early childhood education diploma can support a study permit.
Admission to College Diploma in Early Childhood Education, Intensive requires a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 50 percent.

Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- 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 58 with no component below 49; or the Duolingo English Test at 105.
- Application and deposit: Sheridan 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: Registered Early Childhood Educator is a protected title in Ontario requiring registration with the College of Early Childhood Educators. A vulnerable sector police check is required. Sheridan offers an International Entrance Scholarship of CAD 3,000 toward tuition. Awards are limited, so budget the full fee regardless.
- Work rights: Sheridan lists the intensive early childhood education diploma as PGWP-aligned under CIP 19.0709, 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.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
