How the Graduate Certificate Bundles Speeds Pathways to Permanent Residency
1. Extended Work Opportunities-
By combining two one-year graduate certificates, students can qualify for a three-year Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). This is a huge advantage because it provides more time to work in Canada, which is a key step toward becoming a permanent resident.
- Why This Matters: Canadian immigration programs, like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), prioritize applicants with Canadian work experience. A three-year PGWP helps build a career, gain skills, and meet the requirements for permanent residency.
- Long-Term Benefit: Graduates from Sheridan’s bundled programs often transition smoothly from temporary work permits to permanent residency, setting themselves up for a stable future in Canada.
- Real-Life Success: Many Sheridan alumni have used their PGWP to land jobs in high-demand fields like Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, and Skilled Trades, and have gone on to become permanent residents.
2. Simplified Application Process: One Application, Double the Value
Sheridan makes it easy to apply for two programs at once, saving time and stress.
One Application Fee: Payment is required only for one fee to apply for both programs, which saves money and hassle.
Single Letter of Acceptance: Students receive one combined acceptance letter for both programs, making it simpler to apply for study visas.
Smooth Transition: The programs are designed to work together, so students can move from one certificate to the next without any unnecessary delays.
Support When Needed: Sheridan’s International Student Advisors are there to help students through every step of the way, from applying to making sure they meet PGWP requirements.
3. Cost-Effective Education: Get More for Less
Pursuing two graduate certificates at Sheridan is a smart way to save money while gaining advanced qualifications.
Affordable Tuition: Compared to traditional degree programs, Sheridan’s bundles are a more budget-friendly option.
Scholarships Available: Students may be eligible for entrance scholarships or bursaries, which can help reduce tuition costs.
Great ROI: With a three-year PGWP and access to high-demand jobs, students can start earning quicker and recover their investment.
4. Flexibility and Customization
Sheridan’s Graduate Certificate Bundles are designed to fit students’ goals and lifestyle.
Pre-Bundled Options: Sheridan offers ready-made combinations, like Artificial Intelligence + Data Analytics or Supply Chain Management + Project Management, so students don’t have to figure it out on their own.
Create Your Own Bundle: If students have specific career goals, students can mix and match two programs that work for them (as long as they’re PGWP-eligible).
Part-Time Options: Need to work while studying? Some programs offer part-time options to help students balance both.

Choosing Sheridan’s Graduate Certificate Bundle was a game-changer. The smooth process and industry-focused programs not only enhanced my learning experience, but also paved the way for my three-year PGWP. Now, I’m on a clear path to achieving permanent residency in Canada.
How Students Can Avoid Losing PGWP Eligibility
- 1. Stay Full-Time: Students must be part of a full-time course for every semester (except the last one). Dropping to part-time can lead to disqualification.
- 2. Pick the Right Program: Not all programs qualify for a PGWP. Sheridan’s Graduate Certificate Bundles are designed to meet the requirements.
- 3. Apply on Time: Students have 180 days after graduation to apply. Marking calendars and gathering documents early is key for a smooth process.
- 4. Don’t Overwork: Stick to the 20-hour work limit during school terms. Going over can mess up PGWP chances.
- 5. Keeping Documents Ready: Students need their study permit, transcripts, and proof of graduation. Double-checking everything before applying is crucial.
