Which Lambton programs can Nepali students apply to?

Lambton’s international list has 23 programs, all taught at the Sarnia campus, and not every program runs in every intake.

The programs come in 3 levels:

• Graduate certificates (6): for students with a degree or diploma, such as Supply Chain Management, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning and Occupational Health & Safety Management. Most last 2 years with a co-op term.
• Diplomas (12): 2-year programs after +2, such as Computer Programmer, Early Childhood Education and Electrical Engineering Technician – Power Distribution & Control.
• Certificates (5): 1-year programs after +2, such as Personal Support Worker, Welding Techniques and Plumbing – Mechanical Techniques.

Lambton’s international program list shows each program as open, closed or not offered for each intake. Programs taught at the Toronto and Mississauga partner campuses are archived, as those locations no longer accept new students.

Most 2-year programs include a co-op term. To get an approved co-op work term in programs such as Supply Chain Management, you need a GPA of at least 2.8. Students who don’t qualify or don’t find a co-op job take a WIL Project course instead, at an extra cost listed on the program page. Placement programs, such as Early Childhood Education and Social Service Worker, include supervised placements.

Which Lambton programs are PGWP eligible?

All 23 programs on Lambton’s international list are marked PGWP-ready, so there are no popular international programs that fall outside its list.

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.

Lambton’s PGWP Ready filter lists programs whose field codes match IRCC’s eligible list; the page shows no last-updated date. These programs still appear on Lambton’s archived lists but are not open to new students, as they were taught at the private partner campuses:

• Business Management, Cloud Computing for Big Data and Full Stack Software Development at the Toronto campus (run with Cestar College).
• Business Analytics, Cyber Security & Computer Forensics and Hotel & Resort Management at the Mississauga campus (run with Queen’s College).

Under IRCC rules, students at these curriculum-licensing campuses get a PGWP only if they started on or before 15 May 2024. None of Lambton’s international programs is online. Our PGWP guide for Nepali students explains the rules.

Which Lambton programs are popular with Nepali students?

The table shows Lambton’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). Most programs start in September, and some also start in January or May, so check the program’s own page for its exact status.

Lambton’s international list has no nursing, hospitality or general business management programs at Sarnia. Fees are shown on each program’s page. See the fee section of our Lambton College profile for the usual yearly range in CAD and Rs.

What do you need for each program level?

Diplomas and certificates need +2 with English (and maths for technology programs) and IELTS 6.0, and graduate certificates need a degree or diploma and IELTS 6.5, with no band below 6.0 at either level.

• Diploma or certificate: IELTS 6.0 (no band below 6.0) or PTE 60. Example: Computer Programmer asks for Grade 12 English and Grade 11 or 12 maths.
• Graduate certificate: IELTS 6.5 (no band below 6.0) or PTE 60. Example: Supply Chain Management (Two-Year) asks for a university degree.

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 Lambton admissions guide.

How do you choose the right Lambton program?

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

• Coming from +2? Look at 2-year diplomas with co-op, such as Computer Programmer or Electrical Engineering Technician, or Early Childhood Education with placements.
• Already hold a bachelor’s degree? A graduate certificate such as Supply Chain Management or Occupational Health & Safety Management builds on it, and the 2-year versions include co-op.
• Want a trade? One-year certificates such as Welding Techniques or Electrical Techniques are short, but a 1-year program leads to a shorter PGWP than a 2-year one.
• Check the campus. Every current international program is at Sarnia. If anyone offers you a Lambton program in Toronto or Mississauga, confirm it with Lambton, as those locations no longer take new students.
