Programs Available to International Students

No matter your interests or career goals, we have the program for you! Algonquin College offers post-secondary diploma and degree programs and post-graduate certificate programs. We also offer English for Academic Purposes (EAP) – a program designed to improve your academic English language skills and prepare you for College and job success.

• As of November 1st, 2024, students applying for a study permit for a program delivered by a public college will need to graduate from a field of study linked to occupations where there is a long-term labour shortage, as defined by the Government of Canada, OR graduate from a Degree program (exempt from meeting the IRCC field of study requirement for colleges (CIP codes) as of March 11, 2025) to be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) of up to three years. Please refer to the PGWP-Eligible Programs webpage for more information. You can also find eligible programs using the table and filter below.

• The program you choose may be open when an application is submitted, but there is a possibility that the status could change to waitlisted or closed prior to an Admission Officer reviewing your application. If this is the case, we will work with you to find alternate options.

• Due to limited capacity, demand by Canadian students or licensing requirements, some programs have restricted enrolment, meaning spaces for international applicants may be limited or the program is not open to international applicants.
