Graduate Certificate - Paralegal (2870)

The Graduate Certificate - Paralegal at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Toronto is a graduate certificate that gives you a practical, career-focused education in this field.

This accredited graduate certificate builds on your degree or diploma to prepare you for Ontario's Law Society paralegal licensing examination — advocacy, litigation practice, ethics, and the permitted practice areas such as small claims and tribunals. Graduates pursue licensing and work as paralegals, tribunal advocates and compliance professionals.

Delivered at Centennial College's Progress Campus in Scarborough, 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 Licensed Paralegal, Tribunal Advocate and Small Claims Representative, 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.
