Program overview
A one year Ontario College Certificate covering gas and oil burner systems, combustion, venting, controls, codes and the TSSA gas technician curriculum.
This certificate prepares you for TSSA gas technician certification and is on Mohawk’s PGWP list under a heating trades code.
Mohawk College, a public Ontario college founded in 1966, delivers the gas and oil burner technician certificate at its Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades in east Hamilton. Mohawk lists the gas and oil burner technician certificate on its PGWP list under CIP 47.0201, so it meets the field of study rule for college credentials. A programme under two years supports a permit matching its length, so the gas and oil burner technician certificate points to a work permit of about a year or less. A provincial attestation letter from Ontario is needed before the gas and oil burner technician certificate can support a study permit application.
Applicants to the gas and oil burner technician certificate 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 gas and oil burner technician certificate 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 gas and oil burner technician certificate. There are four entry windows for the gas and oil burner technician certificate, starting from January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the application for the gas and oil burner technician certificate, 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: Many placements and first jobs in this trade expect a valid driving licence and access to a vehicle. 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 under CIP 47.0201, supporting a permit matching the programme length, about a year or less. 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.
