Program overview
The College Diploma - Business - Insurance (Co-op) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Moose Jaw campus is a 2 year college diploma including Co-Op option Canada's only co-op business diploma specialised in the insurance industry.
Students complete a full business core plus insurance-specific courses — property, casualty, life, underwriting and claims — with an optional co-op placing them inside insurance employers before graduation. The program aligns with Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP designation) courses, accelerating the industry's core credential.
Saskatchewan Polytechnic is the province of Saskatchewan’s public polytechnic, with a graduate employment rate of about 96% — among the strongest in Canadian post-secondary education. The Moose Jaw campus is the institution’s original 1959 home and its engineering-technologies heartland, in a friendly small city 45 minutes from Regina with some of the lowest student living costs in Canada. Graduates who stay and work in Saskatchewan can also pursue the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) and the province’s Graduate Retention Program, which rebates up to $20,000 of tuition through tax credits.
PGWP note: this program’s field of study (insurance/business) could not be confirmed against Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s published PGWP-eligible list, and business fields are generally excluded for diploma graduates under Canada’s post-November-2024 rules — confirm current PGWP eligibility for this specific program with the institution and IRCC before applying.
