Program overview
A two year twinning programme pairing two Ontario College Graduate Certificates at Mohawk: Cyber Security Analytics in year one, on security operations and threat analysis, then Project Management in year two, on project planning, risk and agile delivery.
The case for pairing Cyber Security Analytics with Project Management is that it adds a business credential to a technical one, which widens the roles you can apply for. With Cyber Security Analytics first and Project Management second, this pairing can start in January or September.
Cyber Security Analytics is on the PGWP list Mohawk published in February 2026, but Project Management is not. IRCC only combines programmes when both are eligible, so the cyber security and project management pairing cannot deliver the three year permit twinning is usually sold on, and because the final certificate is ineligible we treat it as not leading to a PGWP. Project Management is also outside the seven certificates Mohawk names on its twinning page, so confirm the cyber security and project management pairing is still offered before applying. Ontario requires a provincial attestation letter before the cyber security and project management pairing can support a study permit.
Applicants to the cyber security and project management pairing need a college diploma, advanced diploma or degree in business, computer science, IT or a related field, with 50 percent or above and IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0. Tuition for the cyber security and project management pairing is recorded at CAD 17,200, so confirm whether that covers one year or both. Mohawk takes a CAD 100 application fee and the full first semester of tuition before issuing the acceptance and attestation letters for the cyber security and project management pairing. The cyber security and project management pairing lists four entry windows, the earliest in January 2027. Apply Study Visa handles the application for the cyber security and project management pairing, the first semester payment, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A college diploma, advanced diploma or degree in business, computer science, IT or a related field, at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with no section minimum; PTE Academic 58 with no band below 51; or the Duolingo English Test at 115 with no band below 105.
- Application and payment: Mohawk charges a non-refundable CAD 100 application fee. Full first semester tuition must be paid before Mohawk issues the letter of acceptance and the provincial attestation letter. If your study permit is refused, Mohawk refunds tuition paid less a CAD 250 administrative fee, provided you apply within 60 days of the programme start date and upload the refusal letter.
- Scholarship: No entrance scholarship is recorded against this programme. Mohawk runs awards and bursaries for enrolled students, but they are competitive and not guaranteed, so budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Year two (Project Management) asks for a college diploma or university degree, so check that your background suits both certificates, not only the first.
- Work rights: Project Management is NOT on Mohawk’s PGWP list, so the two certificates cannot be combined for a three year permit, and the final credential does not lead to a PGWP. If a work permit matters to you, choose a pairing from Mohawk’s seven twinning certificates instead. No open work permit for a spouse or partner, since IRCC now limits those to master, doctoral and select professional programmes.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
