Program overview
A two year Ontario College Diploma covering electrical theory, power distribution, motors and controls, programmable logic controllers and the electrical code, with an optional co-op.
Electrical engineering technician power became PGWP eligible on 25 June 2025, and the two year stream supports a permit of up to three years.
The two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op) is taught at Mohawk College’s Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades, home of its Marshall School of Skilled Trades and Apprenticeship, at a public Ontario college founded in 1966. Mohawk lists the two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op) on its PGWP list under CIP 15.0303, and a programme of two years or more supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC froze its eligible field of study list for 2026, but the officer still decides each file, so check 15.0303 against the live list before paying for the two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op). Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op) can support a study permit.
Entry to the two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op) needs Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op) is recorded at CAD 14,082. 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 two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op). The two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op) lists two entry windows, both September starts, beginning in September 2027. Apply Study Visa handles the application for the two year electrical engineering technician power diploma (optional co-op), 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: 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.
- Work rights: Mohawk lists this programme as PGWP eligible under CIP 15.0303, supporting a work permit of up to 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.
