Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in immersive media, covering virtual and augmented reality production, three dimensional environments, interaction design and a produced immersive project, with applied practice running through the programme.
This asks 70 percent rather than the usual 50, and Conestoga records it under a computing code rather than a media one.
Graduate Certificate in Virtual Reality Production is taught at Conestoga College Doon campus, a public Ontario college. The virtual reality production certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Conestoga records the virtual reality production certificate under CIP 11.0804 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 11.0804 against the current eligible list before paying for the virtual reality production certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the virtual reality production certificate can support a study permit.
Entry to Graduate Certificate in Virtual Reality Production is a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 70 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the virtual reality production certificate is recorded at CAD 15,844. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the virtual reality production certificate. The virtual reality production certificate lists five entry windows across September, January and May. Apply Study Visa manages your the virtual reality production 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.

- Work rights: Conestoga lists the virtual reality production certificate as PGWP-aligned under CIP 11.0804, supporting a work permit of up to one year. Verify the code against the IRCC list before paying. 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.
