College Certificate in Construction Techniques is taught at Sheridan College Davis campus in Brampton, a public Ontario college. The construction techniques certificate sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the construction techniques certificate under CIP 46.000 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to one year. IRCC alone decides, so verify 46.000 against the current eligible list before paying for the construction techniques certificate. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the construction techniques certificate can support a study permit.
Applicants to College Certificate in Construction Techniques need Grade 12 or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.0 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for the construction techniques certificate is recorded at CAD 21,075. Sheridan charges a CAD 100 application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the construction techniques certificate. The construction techniques certificate lists four entry windows across September and January, the earliest in January 2027.
