Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in digital marketing, covering content strategy, search and social channels, analytics and measurement, campaign management and an applied client project.
Read this against the advertising diplomas at the same campus: digital marketing is aligned where those are not, despite the overlapping subject.
Graduate Certificate - Digital Marketing Communications is taught at St. Lawrence College Kingston campus, a public Ontario college. The digital marketing communications certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. St. Lawrence records the digital marketing communications certificate under CIP 52.1404 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 52.1404 against the current eligible list before paying for the digital marketing communications certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the digital marketing communications certificate can support a study permit.
Candidates for Graduate Certificate - Digital Marketing Communications present a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the digital marketing communications certificate is recorded at CAD 18,500. St. Lawrence charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the digital marketing communications certificate. The digital marketing communications certificate lists two entry windows, the earliest in January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the digital marketing communications 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.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 83 with no component minimum; PTE Academic 60; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: St. Lawrence 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: St. Lawrence publishes its aligned list under a June 2025 heading and notes the IRCC codes were last updated in July 2025. That is older than the lists other Ontario colleges publish, so verify this CIP code against IRCC directly before paying any deposit.
- Work rights: St. Lawrence lists the digital marketing communications certificate as PGWP-aligned under CIP 52.1404, 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.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
