Program overview
The Advanced College Diploma - Building Renovation Technology (BRY1) (Co-op) is a 3 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Where most construction training builds new, this advanced diploma specialises in transforming what already stands — building science, energy retrofits, structural renovation and heritage-sensitive upgrades across three years with co-op. It is deliberately positioned for Canada's retrofit economy, where net-zero targets are converting old building stock into decades of skilled work.
The setting matters: London is a purpose-built student city of half a million, priced well below the GTA, with Express Entry and OINP pathways open to graduates who stay to work in Ontario.
Its field maps to CIP 46.0401 (Building renovation technology); eligible programs of two years or more support a three-year PGWP. Verify on Fanshawe’s official PGWP-aligned list and with IRCC before applying — final decisions rest with IRCC.
