Fleming College

If you plan to study in Canada from Nepal, this guide can help you choose a program. It lists Fleming College programs that Nepali students can apply to, with each program’s credential, length and campus, all checked on Fleming’s official program lists and program pages. For campuses, fees in Rs, scholarships and work rights, see our Fleming College profile. For grades, English scores, documents and the application steps, see our Fleming admissions guide.

Which Fleming programs can Nepali students apply to?

Fleming says it has more than 85 full-time programs, and each program page shows whether it is available to international students for each start date.

The programs come in 4 levels:

• Ontario College Certificates, usually one year, such as Personal Support Worker and Welding Techniques.
• Ontario College Diplomas, usually two years, such as Early Childhood Education and Computer Engineering Technician.
• Ontario College Advanced Diplomas, about three years, such as Computer Security and Investigations.
• Ontario College Graduate Certificates, for diploma or degree holders, such as Digital Marketing.

A program’s status can change at any time, and seats fill. Check each program’s own page and Fleming’s Ontario Colleges page before you apply. If you already hold a bachelor’s degree, look at graduate certificates, because they build on a first diploma or degree.

Which Fleming programs are PGWP eligible?

Fleming’s PGWP list names 37 programs, and popular choices such as Business and Customs/Border Services Administration are not on it.

If you applied for your study permit on or after 1 November 2024, a diploma, advanced diploma or graduate certificate leads to a Post-Graduation Work Permit only if its field of study is eligible. Bachelor’s degrees have no field-of-study rule. You also need CLB 5 in English for college credentials or CLB 7 for degrees, and you must take at least half of the program in class.

Fleming’s PGWP list shows each program’s CIP code, campus and start terms, without a last-updated date, and Fleming says the final decision is IRCC’s. These popular programs are open to international students but are not on the list:

• Business
• Customs/Border Services Administration
• Conservation Biology
• Policing and Community Safety

Practical Nursing (Synchronous Online) is a separate online version that shows as not available to international students, and online study never counts. Students at the Fleming College Toronto partnership who start after 15 May 2024 can’t get a PGWP. Our PGWP guide for Nepali students explains the rules.

Which Fleming programs are popular with Nepali students?

The table shows Fleming’s programs in the course areas most popular with Nepali and Indian students, up to two per area, with each one’s credential, length and campus.

Programs are grouped by course area, with PGWP-eligible and open-intake programs listed first within each area (see the PGWP section above for which ones qualify). Fleming’s intakes are September, January and May, and each program starts only in some of them, so check the program’s own page for its exact status.

Programs that list Brockville, Cornwall or Kingston are Fleming programs offered at St. Lawrence College campuses, so pick your location carefully. Fees are shown on each program’s page. See the fee section of our Fleming College profile for the usual yearly range in CAD and Rs.

Fleming’s page for Cybersecurity says it is a St. Lawrence College program taught at Sutherland Campus. You apply to St. Lawrence for it, and it isn’t on Fleming’s PGWP list, so we left it out of the table.

What do you need for each program level?

Certificates and diplomas ask for +2 with set subjects and IELTS 6.0 (no band under 5.5), and graduate certificates ask for a diploma or degree and IELTS 6.5 (no band under 6.0).

• Certificates and diplomas: IELTS 6.0 or PTE 46. Computer Engineering Technician asks for Grade 12 English and Math.
• Advanced diplomas: IELTS 6.0 or PTE 46. Biotechnology – Advanced also asks for Grade 12 Math and two sciences.
• Graduate certificates: IELTS 6.5 or PTE 56. Health Care Management asks for a diploma or degree in a health field from a recognized Canadian institution, so read this one closely.

To see where your +2 grades stand, convert your NEB GPA to a percentage with our NEB GPA calculator. Program-by-program examples, documents and the application steps are in our Fleming admissions guide.

How do you choose the right Fleming program?

Start with your background and your plan after graduation, then check the program’s PGWP status, open intakes and campus on Fleming’s own program page before you apply.

• Coming from +2? Look at two-year diplomas such as Social Service Worker or Electrical Engineering Technician, which are on the PGWP list.
• Already hold a bachelor’s degree? Look at graduate certificates such as Digital Marketing, and make sure your first degree fits the program.
• Thinking about health work? Practical Nursing has grade minimums and placements, and you arrange your own travel to placement sites.
• Check the campus. Environmental and forestry programs are at Frost Campus in Lindsay, art programs are at Haliburton, and most others are at Sutherland in Peterborough.
