Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology

A one year graduate certificate in financial technology, covering payment systems, digital banking, financial data analysis, regulatory technology and applied fintech projects.

Financial technology combines finance with software, and the Toronto corridor within reach of Waterloo is Canada’s main fintech employment market, which makes the location genuinely relevant here.

Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology is taught at Conestoga College, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. The financial technology certificate sits below degree level, so its post-graduation work permit depends on appearing on the IRCC eligible field of study list. The financial technology certificate falls inside an eligible sector, which is a good sign, but confirm its CIP code with Conestoga in writing before you pay. If eligible, the financial technology certificate supports a work permit of up to one year. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the financial technology certificate can support a study permit application.

Entry to Graduate Certificate in Financial Technology 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 financial technology certificate is recorded at CAD 16,319. Conestoga charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the financial technology certificate. The financial technology certificate lists seven entry windows, spanning September, January and May starts. Apply Study Visa manages your the financial technology certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.
