Program details
Overview
This one-year certificate immerses students learning Anishinaabemowin language and culture in a learning environment located in-community at Chippewas of the Thames First Nation, southwest of London, Ontario. The programme aims to bring graduates to a functional, conversationally fluent level in the language, while building cultural knowledge to support their continued language-learning journey.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), with courses accepted from the College (C), University (U), University/College (M) or Open (O) stream, or equivalent, or mature-applicant status. Applicants without a high school diploma may instead complete Fanshawe's Academic and Career Entrance (ACE) Grade 12 Equivalency Certificate. The programme page does not publish its own English-proficiency table, so Fanshawe's institution-wide Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas & Certificates tier applies (see the college's general admission requirements page): IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, or TOEFL iBT 79 (2026-scale equivalent overall 4.5, no band below 4.0), among the college's other accepted tests (PTE Academic, CAEL, Cambridge English, Duolingo, LanguageCert, ESL4/GAP5), for any applicant whose first language is not English.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
