Program overview
A two year college diploma in precision machining, covering tool and die making, computer controlled machining, blueprint interpretation, metrology and supervised shop practice.
Skilled trades sit in an eligible sector, and precision machining has genuine Canadian labour shortages that support this route.
College Diploma in Mechanical Technician, Tool Making, CNC and Precision Machining is taught at Sheridan College Davis campus in Brampton, a public Ontario college. The tool making and precision machining diploma sits below degree level, so a work permit depends on its field of study. Sheridan records the tool making and precision machining diploma under CIP 48.0501 and lists it among its PGWP-aligned programmes, which supports a permit of up to three years. IRCC alone decides, so verify 48.0501 against the current eligible list before paying for the tool making and precision machining diploma. Ontario also requires a provincial attestation letter before the tool making and precision machining diploma can support a study permit.
Candidates for College Diploma in Mechanical Technician, Tool Making, CNC and Precision Machining present Grade 12 or equivalent at 50 percent.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or equivalent at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English (meet any one): IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 80 with 20 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with no component below 49; or the Duolingo English Test at 105.
- 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: Machining trades in Ontario are apprenticeable. Certification requires apprenticeship registration and examinations through Skilled Trades Ontario, assessed separately from this diploma. 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 tool making and precision machining diploma as PGWP-aligned under CIP 48.0501, supporting a work permit of up to three years. 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.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa prepares the attestation letter request, the financial evidence and the Canadian study permit submission with you.
