Esthetics is a practical trade taught to a professional standard, and it does not appear on Conestoga’s PGWP-aligned list.
College Diploma in Esthetician is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. Read this carefully: the esthetician diploma sits below degree level and does NOT appear on Conestoga’s own list of PGWP-aligned programmes. Treat the esthetician diploma as carrying no post-graduation work permit unless Conestoga confirms an eligible CIP code for the esthetician diploma in writing. Ontario additionally requires a provincial attestation letter before any study permit application for the esthetician diploma.
Applicants to College Diploma in Esthetician need Grade 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the esthetician diploma is recorded at CAD 14,588. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the esthetician diploma. The esthetician diploma lists seven entry windows across September, January and May. Apply Study Visa manages your the esthetician diploma application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
