Program details

Overview

This diploma is delivered in a compressed 42-week format that covers the same content as a standard two-year building construction programme. Students gain hands-on skills for the building construction industry, learning to operate trade tools and equipment, lay out and construct wood-frame structures, and apply interior and exterior finishes. The course includes a two-week work placement, and successful completion is recognised as equivalent to the in-class portion of a Level 1 apprenticeship.

Requirements

Admission Requirements: Domestic entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent, including Grade 12 English (ENG4C or ENG4U). The programme page defers non-native English speakers to Canadore's institution-wide English Language Proficiency Requirements; at the Diploma level this falls in the college's Certificate/Diploma/Advanced Diploma tier, published on the institution's international admissions page as IELTS Academic 6.0 overall with no band below 5.5, TOEFL iBT 72+ with no section below 18, PTE Academic 53 (no section below 47), or Duolingo 110 (no band below 95). No portfolio, interview, or additional non-academic condition is stated for this programme.

Application Details

Start Date: Monthly

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants apply through OntarioColleges.ca: for programs starting in Fall 2027 the equal consideration date is 1 February 2027; Canadore states applicants may apply at any time, with the deposit for accepted Winter 2027 offers due 16 November 2026 and term tuition due 30 November 2026. Canadore's own how-to-apply page separately cites a generic, undated "applications open November 1 / competitive consideration date February 1 for Fall term, October 1 for Winter term" notice that names no specific cycle year, so its October 1 figure is not confirmed as the Winter 2027 deadline. International applicants apply through Canadore's international portal and are assessed on a rolling basis, with programs closing early once capacity is reached; no fixed international opening or closing date is published, and payment deadlines appear only on the individual letter of admission. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
