Program overview
The Graduate Certificate - Business and Information Systems Architecture (BIA1B) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Business and Information Systems Architecture trains the translator profession — business analysis, enterprise architecture, systems integration and IT strategy — across two full years. The format serves two purposes at once: deeper enterprise-architecture preparation, and a program length that supports the complete three-year PGWP.
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.
Field of study: CIP 11.0103 (Business and information systems architecture). Two eligible academic years support the full three-year permit; verify the program’s listing and IRCC’s current policy at application time.
