Program overview
A one year graduate certificate in data practice, covering data preparation, statistical analysis, visualisation tools, dashboard design and an applied analytics project.
Sheridan records this under a statistics code, which is what makes it eligible where the business analysis certificate at the same campus is not.
Graduate Certificate in Applied Data Analytics and Visualization is taught at Sheridan College Hazel McCallion campus in Mississauga, a public Ontario college. The applied data analytics certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the applied data analytics certificate under CIP 30.7101 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 30.7101 against the current eligible list before paying for the applied data analytics certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the applied data analytics certificate can support a study permit.
Entry to Graduate Certificate in Applied Data Analytics and Visualization is a completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent at 50 percent or above. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and tuition for the applied data analytics certificate is recorded at CAD 17,510. Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the applied data analytics certificate. The applied data analytics certificate lists four entry windows across September and January, the earliest in January 2027. Apply Study Visa manages your the applied data analytics certificate application, the deposit, the offer, the attestation letter and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: A completed undergraduate diploma or equivalent, at the percentage stated.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0; TOEFL iBT 88 with 21 in every section; PTE Academic 60 with no component below 57; or the Duolingo English Test at 115.
- Application and deposit: Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Sheridan offers an International Entrance Scholarship of CAD 3,000 toward tuition. Awards are limited, so budget the full fee regardless.
- Work rights: Sheridan lists the applied data analytics certificate as PGWP-aligned under CIP 30.7101, supporting a work permit of up to one year. Verify the code against the IRCC list before paying. A PGWP also requires a language test at CLB 5 in all four abilities for college credentials, taken within two years of applying. This is separate from the English test you need for admission. No dependant work permit.
