About this program

PGWP - Post-Graduation Work Permit
PGWP is a key component of post-study rights in Canada, offering graduates up to three years of full work rights. This includes benefits for both the graduate and their partner, along with educational advantages for children.
Intern/Job-Placement
The institution has a specialized department for internships and professional placement, providing crucial support for students by connecting them to opportunities that propel their careers.
Co-Op - Cooperative Education
Co-op seamlessly integrates paid work experience with academic learning. Many Canadian institutions offer about half of the course duration in Co-op mode, enabling students to work full-time during Co-op and part-time during classes.

The “Computer Programming and Analysis” program is a three-year advanced diploma focusing on current industry skills. Students learn problem-solving using Microsoft, Oracle, Java, and open-source software. The curriculum covers object-oriented analysis, design, agile methodologies, and programming techniques. Emphasis is on practical application through hands-on assignments and a capstone group project creating a significant business application. Supplementary courses include mathematics, accounting, and communications. An optional co-op stream provides four consecutive four-month work terms for real-world experience.

About Optional Co-op:

College co-op programs offer practical work experience, but employment isn’t guaranteed. Students must actively seek opportunities, handle transportation costs, and be legally eligible to work in Canada. Admission to the co-op stream is competitive, based on an 80% average in Year 1. International students need work permits with potential delays. No co-op fee refunds after withdrawal date, and continuing without a permit is at the student’s risk. Early discussion with a co-op advisor is advised for work permit concerns.
