Requirements
Admission Requirements: Mohawk's program page requires an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent (Mohawk Academic Upgrading or a GED also qualify), including Grade 11 English at the C or U level and Grade 10 Mathematics at the D or P level, or their equivalents. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate proficiency through one of: TOEFL 550 (80 internet-based), IELTS Academic overall 6.0 with no band below 5.5, Duolingo 105-110 with no band below 100, or completion of Mohawk's GAS-English for Academic Purposes (478) program; the International Admission Requirements page lists further accepted certificates. Options are available for mature applicants who do not hold the standard secondary-school prerequisites.
Application Details
Start Date:Starts Mohawk lists on this program’s own page, checked 6 September 2026. Domestic applicants: September 2026 at Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades (SC); January 2027 at Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades (SC); May 2027 at Stoney Creek Campus for Skilled Trades (SC). International applicants: September, January intakes. The two lists differ, so check the intake you want is open to your applicant type before applying. Mohawk runs a Fall term from September, a Winter term from January and a Spring/Summer term from May; not every program runs every term, and the seat status shown beside a start (open, waitlist, closed) moves as intakes fill.
Application Deadline:Mohawk publishes no deadline unique to this program; the dates below are the college-wide ones.
DOMESTIC APPLICANTS (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through ontariocolleges.ca. Equal consideration date: 1 February for a September start; 1 June for a January start; 1 October for a May start. Applications that reach Ontario Colleges by then are read together in the first round of offers. Applying afterwards is still allowed, but remaining seats go first-come, first-served, and a competitive program is usually full by that point. Where a program draws more qualified applicants than it has seats, Mohawk ranks them on the average of their highest senior-level final grades in the required courses, and offers go to Ontario permanent residents first, then residents of other Canadian provinces and territories, then international applicants.
INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS (citizens of another country without Canadian permanent residence) do not use the equal consideration dates. They apply through the OCAS International Application Service, which sets a separate deadline for each intake rather than one annual date; the current list is on Mohawk’s international apply page. For the January 2027 intake, applications opened in February 2026 and close in November 2026. Files arriving after a deadline are judged on remaining program capacity, visa status and study-permit processing time for the applicant’s region, and Mohawk states it may cap applications or impose deadlines by region. The CAD 100 application fee is non-refundable and covers up to two program choices starting in the same August-to-July academic year.
