Program overview
The College Diploma - Digital Visual Effects at Centennial College's Story Arts Centre campus in Toronto is a two-year college diploma that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.
You will learn the craft behind screen magic — compositing, 3D, motion graphics, rotoscoping and visual-effects pipelines — using industry tools to build a professional demo reel. Toronto is a major VFX and post-production hub. Graduates work as junior VFX artists, compositors and motion designers across film, TV, streaming and advertising post-production.
Delivered at Centennial College's Story Arts Centre campus in Toronto. Note that this field is not among the priority categories in Canada's post-2024 PGWP rules, so the program may not support a Post-Graduation Work Permit — if working in Canada after graduation matters to you, confirm the current position on Centennial's official PGWP-Aligned list and with IRCC before applying.
Graduates are well placed for roles such as VFX Artist, Compositor and 3D/Motion Graphics Artist, 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.
