Program overview
The College Certificate - Pre-Technology (PRT1) is a 1 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Pre-Technology rebuilds the mathematics and physics that engineering-technology admission requires, for students whose Grade 12 math needs strengthening. It is a runway, honestly framed: a year that converts 'not qualified yet' into a seat in civil, electrical or electromechanical technology with confidence restored.
Southwestern Ontario’s hub city hosts the program: a health-care, insurance and EV-manufacturing economy whose provincial immigration streams favour graduates working outside the saturated GTA.
Immigration planning starts with the field — CIP 15.0000 (Pre-technology pathway) — and ends with IRCC’s decision. Check the official PGWP-aligned list before paying any deposit; eligible-field lists have changed before.
What it costs per year · indicative
Living cost is an estimate; tuition is the institute's published international fee. We confirm exact, current figures before you pay anything.
Do you qualify?
These are the published minimums. Whether your profile fits — with your marks, gap and budget — is exactly what a free counsellor check confirms.
Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Completed Class 12 (10+2) from a recognised board with approximately 50% or better.

- TOEFL iBT: Total 79.0
- PTE: Overall 53
- Duolingo: 105
- GRE/GMAT: Not required.
Application fee $100 CAD. Apply well before the February 1 equal-consideration date for September entry — capped international seats mean popular programs fill early. An Ontario Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) is arranged through admission. Ask an Apply Study Visa counsellor to verify current PGWP alignment and seats before applying.
