Project management transfers across sectors and is genuinely useful, but Conestoga does not list it among its PGWP-aligned programmes.
Graduate Certificate in Project Management is taught at Conestoga College Brantford campus, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the project management certificate sits below degree level and does NOT appear on Conestoga’s own list of PGWP-aligned programmes. Treat the project management certificate as carrying no post-graduation work permit unless Conestoga confirms an eligible CIP code for the project management certificate in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the project management certificate.
Entry to Graduate Certificate in Project Management is a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the project management certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the project management certificate. The project management certificate lists six entry windows across the annual intake cycle. Apply Study Visa manages your the project management certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 22 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with no component below 10; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Work rights: The project management certificate does NOT appear on Conestoga’s PGWP-aligned list. Assume no work permit unless the college confirms an eligible CIP code in writing. 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 dependant work permit.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
