Program overview
A sixteen month Ontario College Diploma covering electrical theory, power distribution, motors and controls, programmable logic controllers and the electrical code in a sixteen month schedule.
The electrical fast track starts in January only and is recorded at CAD 21,123, well above the two year stream, and its sixteen month length caps the permit at roughly the same span.
Mohawk College, a public Ontario college founded in 1966, delivers the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma at its Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades in east Hamilton. Mohawk lists the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma on its PGWP list under CIP 15.0303, but a programme shorter than two years supports a permit only as long as the programme itself. That makes the likely permit after the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma about sixteen months rather than the three years a two year diploma can support. A provincial attestation letter from Ontario is needed before the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma can support a study permit application.
Applicants to the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma need Grade 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma is recorded at CAD 21,123. 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 fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma. The fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma lists two January entry windows, beginning in January 2027, with no September start. Apply Study Visa manages the application for the fast track electrical engineering technician power diploma, the payment to Mohawk, the attestation letter and your study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent, at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80; PTE Academic 50 with no band below 43; or the Duolingo English Test at 105 with no band below 100.
- 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: Grade 12 English and Grade 11 or 12 mathematics are expected, and health and technology streams can require specific sciences. Fast track streams usually expect some prior post-secondary study. Confirm your transcripts qualify before planning around the shorter timeline.
- Work rights: Mohawk lists this programme under CIP 15.0303, but at sixteen months it supports a permit of about the same length, not three years. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. 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.
