Graduate Certificate - Public Relations - Corporate Communications

An one year Ontario College Graduate Certificate covering public relations strategy, media relations, corporate and crisis communications, social media and a 140 hour placement.

Public relations is not on Mohawk’s PGWP list, and classes run three days a week, which matters for your weekly schedule.

Mohawk College, a public Ontario college founded in 1966, delivers the public relations corporate communications graduate certificate at its Fennell campus in Hamilton. The public relations corporate communications graduate 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 public relations corporate communications graduate certificate therefore does not lead to a post-graduation work permit, so plan to leave Canada or change status when your study permit ends. A provincial attestation letter from Ontario is needed before the public relations corporate communications graduate certificate can support a study permit application.

Applicants to the public relations corporate communications graduate certificate need a two year or longer college diploma or university degree in a related area with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the public relations corporate communications graduate certificate is recorded at CAD 17,540. 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 public relations corporate communications graduate certificate.
