Program overview
A two year Ontario College Diploma covering renovation methods, building science, estimating, codes, drafting and project coordination.
This two year diploma focuses on renovation and retrofit work, and it is on Mohawk’s PGWP list.
Mohawk College, a public Ontario college founded in 1966, delivers the construction engineering technician building renovation diploma at its Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades in east Hamilton. Mohawk lists the construction engineering technician building renovation diploma on its PGWP list under CIP 15.1001, 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 15.1001 against the live list before paying for the construction engineering technician building renovation diploma. A provincial attestation letter from Ontario is needed before the construction engineering technician building renovation diploma can support a study permit application.
Applicants to the construction engineering technician building renovation 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 construction engineering technician building renovation diploma 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 construction engineering technician building renovation diploma. The construction engineering technician building renovation diploma lists two entry windows, both September starts, beginning in September 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the application for the construction engineering technician building renovation 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.
- Work rights: Mohawk lists this programme as PGWP eligible under CIP 15.1001, 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.
