Program overview
The College Diploma - Computer Engineering Technology (Co-op) at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Moose Jaw campus is a 3 year college diploma including 12 months of co-op an in-depth engineering technology diploma spanning hardware, software and embedded systems, with 12 months of paid co-op.
Across three years including a full year of paid co-op, students master electronics, embedded programming, networks, and hardware-software integration โ graduating with both an advanced technical education and twelve months of Canadian engineering work experience.
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.
This program is registered under CIP code 15.1201 (Computer engineering technology/technician) and appears on Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s published list of PGWP-eligible international programs under the post-November-2024 field-of-study rules. Programs of two academic years support a PGWP of up to three years; shorter programs support a PGWP matching program length. Eligibility lists change — verify the current Sask Polytech PGWP list and IRCC policy before applying (final decisions rest with IRCC).
