Program overview
An Ontario College Graduate Certificate at Algonquin covering global logistics, procurement, inventory and operations planning, international trade and supply chain analytics.
This certificate offers January, May and September starts, and it sits on the PGWP list under a supply chain code.
Algonquin College, a public Ontario college founded in 1967, delivers the global supply chain management certificate at its main Ottawa campus on Woodroffe Avenue. Algonquin lists the global supply chain management certificate on its PGWP list under CIP 52.0203, so it meets the field of study rule for college credentials. A programme shorter than two years supports a permit matching its own length, so the global supply chain management certificate points to a work permit of about one year or less. A provincial attestation letter from Ontario is needed before the global supply chain management certificate can support a study permit application.
Applicants to the global supply chain management certificate need a completed college diploma, advanced diploma or degree in a related field with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the global supply chain management certificate is recorded at CAD 17,713 for the year. Algonquin charges a CAD 135 application fee, and if your study permit is refused it keeps only CAD 250 of the fees paid for the global supply chain management certificate, provided the refusal letter reaches it within ten days. For 2027 there are three open intakes for the global supply chain management certificate including a May start, starting from January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the application for the global supply chain management certificate, the payment to Algonquin, the attestation letter and your study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed college diploma, advanced diploma or degree in a related field, at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 22 in each section, or 4.5 in each section on the new scale for tests taken after 21 January 2026; or the Duolingo English Test at 120 with 120 in Literacy and no subscore below 105. PTE Academic is not listed among the tests Algonquin accepts, so do not book it for this programme.
- Application and payment: Algonquin charges a CAD 135 application fee. Pay the required fees by the deadline on your admissions letter to secure your seat and attestation letter. If your study permit is refused, Algonquin refunds all but a CAD 250 administrative fee, provided the refusal letter is dated after your latest acceptance letter and reaches the college within ten days. Other withdrawals before the start carry a CAD 2,200 penalty.
- Scholarship: No entrance scholarship is recorded against this programme. Algonquin offers awards to international students based on grades once enrolled, so budget the full tuition.
- Work rights: Algonquin lists this programme under CIP 52.0203, supporting a permit matching the programme length, about one year or less. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities for college credentials, 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.
