You will learn to turn designs into buildable reality — architectural drafting, CAD and BIM, building codes, materials and construction documentation — through studio-based learning.

Graduates work as architectural technicians and technologists and CAD/BIM specialists with architects, builders and developers across the GTA's huge construction market.

Delivered at Centennial College's Morningside campus in Toronto. This field aligns with the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit; confirm the program's CIP code on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list, as the final decision rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Architectural Technician/Technologist, CAD/BIM Technician and Design Technician, gaining hands-on skills and real Canadian experience in Toronto's large job market.

Beyond technical learning, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

Studying at Ontario's first public college — one of Canada's most multicultural campuses, with automatic entrance scholarships of up to $5,000 for eligible new international students — you get supportive services and a welcoming community.
