A member asked whether Sheridan College's PPHSS (Pre-Health Sciences Pathway to Advanced Diplomas and Degrees) program at the Brampton campus was PGWP-eligible.
What the thread clarified:- PGWP eligibility is determined by whether the specific program is offered by a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), not simply by which college you attend generally — check the official government DLI list and program-specific eligibility, rather than assuming based on the institution's overall reputation.
- If the course is confirmed as DLI, you will get a PGWP. This is the deciding factor cited in the thread — DLI status of the specific course/program is what determines eligibility, not the college as a whole.
- Check the official website directly for the specific program's eligibility status, since pathway/bridging programs specifically (like this Pre-Health Sciences pathway) can have different eligibility status than a college's other standard programs.
The practical takeaway: PGWP eligibility for a pathway or bridging program depends on that specific course's DLI status — verify directly against the official government DLI list and the program's specific eligibility page, rather than assuming eligibility based on the college overall.
