Program overview

The Post-Graduate Certificate - Information Resources Management at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Prince Albert campus is a 8 month post-graduate certificate training specialists in organisational information governance and records.

Degree-holders learn records management, information governance, digital asset systems, privacy and compliance practice โ€” the discipline organisations legally require as data volumes explode. The program pairs naturally with project-management and tourism certificates in Sask Polytech's bundles.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic is the province of Saskatchewan’s public polytechnic, founded in 1959, with a graduate employment rate of about 96% — among the strongest in Canadian post-secondary education. The Prince Albert campus sits at the gateway to Saskatchewan’s north — the hub city for the province’s forestry, resource and northern health economies — offering small classes, close instructor attention and some of the lowest living costs of any Canadian campus city. 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 52.1206 (Information resources management (verify registered CIP and PGWP status)) 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).
