College Certificate - Office Administration - General

An one year Ontario College Certificate covering office procedures, keyboarding, business communication, document production and office software.

This one year certificate is not on Mohawk’s PGWP list.

The office administration general certificate is taught at Mohawk College’s Fennell campus on the Hamilton Mountain, the main campus of a public Ontario college founded in 1966. The office administration general certificate does not appear on the PGWP list Mohawk published in February 2026, and IRCC has frozen the eligible list for the rest of 2026. Finishing the office administration general certificate therefore does not lead to a post-graduation work permit, so plan to leave Canada or change status when your study permit ends. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the office administration general certificate can support a study permit. Hamilton sits about an hour west of Toronto and costs less to live in, which helps when you budget for the office administration general certificate.

Entry to the office administration general certificate needs Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the office administration general certificate is recorded at CAD 16,190. Mohawk charges a CAD 100 application fee and asks for the full first semester of tuition before it issues the acceptance and attestation letters for the office administration general certificate. The office administration general certificate lists three entry windows, the earliest in September 2027. Apply Study Visa handles the application for the office administration general certificate, the first semester payment, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
