Program overview
A two year diploma in the operational side of farming, covering crop and livestock production, soils and agronomy, machinery and equipment systems, farm safety, production economics and the planning that runs a working operation.
The production major is the hands on counterpart to AgriCommerce, aimed at students who will manage land, herds and machinery rather than markets. Campus operations and a working farm mean production decisions are practised at scale rather than modelled on paper, which is the difference employers notice at interview.
The CIP code recorded for Agricultural Management, Production is 01.0301, which appears on the agriculture and agri-food eligible field of study list, so the programme meets the field of study requirement. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Agricultural Management, Production with a partner should plan on a single income. Every work permit decision rests with Canadian immigration authorities, and Apply Study Visa confirms the position for Agricultural Management, Production in writing before you pay a deposit.
Applicants to Agricultural Management, Production need Grade 12 / High School with at least 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 overall with no band below 6.0, and tuition for Agricultural Management, Production is recorded at CAD 17,500 a year with a CAD 160 application fee. Entry is September only. Apply Study Visa manages the Agricultural Management, Production application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
