Program overview
A two year college diploma in food service management, covering nutrition principles, menu planning for institutions, food safety, quantity production and supervised field placement.
Sheridan records this under a health code rather than a hospitality one, which is what places it inside the eligible sectors.
College Diploma in Nutrition and Food Service Management is taught at Sheridan College Hazel McCallion campus in Mississauga, a public Ontario college. The nutrition and food service management diploma sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the nutrition and food service management diploma under CIP 19.0505 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC alone decides, so verify 19.0505 against the current eligible list before paying for the nutrition and food service management diploma. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the nutrition and food service management diploma can support a study permit.
Admission to College Diploma in Nutrition and Food Service Management requires Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the nutrition and food service management diploma is recorded at CAD 17,500. Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the nutrition and food service management diploma. The nutrition and food service management diploma lists four entry windows across September and January, the earliest in January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the nutrition and food service management diploma application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
