Graduate Certificate - Information Communication Technology (ICT) Solutions for Business

This two year Ontario College Graduate Certificate sits at the junction of business and technology: systems analysis, business process improvement, database and reporting tools, project management, enterprise applications and the communication skills that IT business roles depend on.

The source records a work placement inside the two year structure, which is valuable in a field where employers hire on demonstrated exposure to real systems and stakeholders rather than on coursework alone.

The critical planning point is work permit status. This program does not appear on the PGWP aligned list that Confederation College publishes with CIP codes matched to the IRCC field of study list, so this sheet records no CIP code and marks it as not PGWP aligned. Students should confirm the current position with the college in writing before paying any deposit.

Applicants need 4-Year Bachelor’s Degree with 60 percent per the portal export, together with IELTS 6.5 overall and no band below 6, recorded against Ontario college program code 0351/0352/0358.5 overall and no band below 6.0. Recorded tuition is CAD 19,460 for the year, the highest among the graduate certificates in this batch, and the export lists September, January and May starts.

At CAD 19,460 this is the most expensive graduate certificate in the catalogue, and it is not on the college PGWP aligned list, which makes the value question sharp for international applicants. The content itself is sound and business systems analysis is a real career. The issue is purely eligibility. Students should obtain written confirmation of current work permit status before paying, and should compare the cost against the PGWP aligned two year diplomas in computing and engineering technology, which are cheaper and produce longer work permits.
