Post-Graduate Certificate - Cloud Computing and Blockchain

The Post-Graduate Certificate - Cloud Computing and Blockchain at Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s Saskatoon campus is a 8 month post-graduate certificate specialising degree-holders in cloud platforms and distributed technologies.

Students work hands-on with cloud infrastructure, deployment, security fundamentals and blockchain applications, building the platform skills behind modern IT operations. The post-graduate format assumes a completed degree and moves at professional pace.

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. Programs are co-designed with industry advisors and taught hands-on in labs, shops and simulation facilities at the Saskatoon campus, in one of Canada’s most affordable student cities. 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 11.0902 (Cloud computing) 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).
