Program overview
A two year twinning programme pairing two Ontario College Graduate Certificates at Mohawk: Digital Health in year one, on health informatics and clinical systems, then Cyber Security Analytics in year two, on security operations and threat analysis.
The case for pairing Digital Health with Cyber Security Analytics is that health informatics comes first, then the security skills needed to protect clinical systems. With Digital Health first and Cyber Security Analytics second, this pairing starts in September only, since winter starts need cyber security or supply chain in year one.
Digital Health (CIP 51.2706) and Cyber Security Analytics (CIP 11.1003) are both on Mohawk’s February 2026 PGWP list. IRCC can combine two eligible programmes of eight months or more, completed within two years of each other, so finishing Digital Health and then Cyber Security Analytics can support a permit of up to three years. Mohawk says the final length is at IRCC’s sole discretion, so treat three years after the digital health and cyber security pairing as possible rather than promised. A provincial attestation letter from Ontario is needed before the digital health and cyber security pairing can support a study permit.
Applicants to the digital health and cyber security pairing need an advanced diploma or degree in health, business, computer science or a related field, with 50 percent or above and IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0. Tuition for the digital health and cyber security pairing is recorded at CAD 17,540, so confirm whether that covers one year or both. Mohawk takes a CAD 100 application fee and the full first semester of tuition before issuing the acceptance and attestation letters for the digital health and cyber security pairing. The digital health and cyber security pairing lists two entry windows, both September starts, beginning in September 2027. Apply Study Visa manages the application for the digital health and cyber security pairing, the payment to Mohawk, the attestation letter and your study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: An advanced diploma or degree in health, business, computer science or a related field, at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 83 with no section minimum; PTE Academic 58 with no band below 51; or the Duolingo English Test at 115 with no band below 105.
- Application and payment: Mohawk charges a non-refundable CAD 100 application fee. Full first semester tuition must be paid before Mohawk issues the letter of acceptance and the provincial attestation letter. If your study permit is refused, Mohawk refunds tuition paid less a CAD 250 administrative fee, provided you apply within 60 days of the programme start date and upload the refusal letter.
- Scholarship: No entrance scholarship is recorded against this programme. Mohawk runs awards and bursaries for enrolled students, but they are competitive and not guaranteed, so budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Year two (Cyber Security Analytics) asks for a college diploma, advanced diploma or degree in business, computer science, IT or a related field, so check that your background suits both certificates, not only the first.
- Work rights: Both certificates are on Mohawk’s PGWP list (51.2706/11.1003). IRCC can combine two eligible programmes of at least eight months each, completed within two years of each other, for a permit of up to three years, at its discretion. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities for college credentials, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No open work permit for a spouse or partner, since IRCC now limits those to master, doctoral and select professional programmes.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
