Program overview
A one year diploma completion route for holders of the business certificate, adding management theory and practice, financial management, strategic planning, project management and applied business problem solving.
This is the second half of the laddered business route rather than a standalone two year diploma, so entry assumes the certificate is already complete. The structure suits students who want to split study across two stages or who already hold a comparable business certificate.
The CIP code recorded for Business Management, General Management is 52.0201. Business and management codes do not appear on any eligible field of study list, so Business Management, General Management does not meet the field of study requirement and would not support a post graduation work permit. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Business Management, General Management 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 Business Management, General Management in writing before you pay a deposit.
Applicants to Business Management, General Management 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 Business Management, General Management is recorded at CAD 15,737 a year with a CAD 160 application fee. Entry is September only. Apply Study Visa manages the Business Management, General Management application, the attestation letter, the deposit and the study permit as one process.
