I am an mechanical engineer from India with experience of 1.5 years in manufacturing industry. I am planning to take business analytics certificate from George Brown.
i have some queries:
1. If I do two post graduate certificates, will I be eligible for 3 year post graduation work permit?
2. Is it possible to change college after a certificate?
3. Are there any other colleges or university for a full time program in business analytics?
4. Is project management related with business analytics?
Hoping to hear a reply soon.

1. If I do two post graduate certificates, will I be eligible for 3 year post graduation work permit?

This cannot be guaranteed as each certificate will only lead to a work permit not exceeding the duration of the program. Note that post graduate work permits are issued if the program duration was above 8 months but they cannot go beyond 3 years. Usually 3 year PGWPs are issued for graduates at a master's level. You should thoroughly read the program page for whatever college/university you consider, some of them give key details on work permits after the program.

2. Is it possible to change college after a certificate?
Yes, you should be able to. There is no law that requires one to study at any specific college. You simply need to meet the requirements for admission into your desired program at the college you prefer. However, in the event that you want to transfer credits you must confirm that credits at the college your admitted are transferable to other colleges just in case you have to...

3. Are there any other colleges or university for a full time program in business analytics?
Yes they are; it all depends on which province you want to go to.
-In Ontario the best option I believe is York University's Schulich school of business http://schulich.yorku.ca/client/schulich/Schulich_LP4W_LND_WebStation.nsf/page/home-mban?OpenDocument
-http://business.queensu.ca/grad_studies/mma/
-http://www.ufv.ca/math/data-analysis/
- A google search will give you a number of results for your consideration.

4. Is project management related with business analytics?
Not necessarily. To make it clear I'll ask: is project management related with computer science? So it is not really necessary but it does improve your career and marketability in the area as it would in computer science. Usually project management skills are key at a management level-if you are the head of an analytics section. In fact, managers of such teams who are not technical in the area are in some (if not most) cases required to have project management qualifications. If you are interested in having both, you may need to widen your search to the U.S. In the U.S you will find business analytics programs integrated with project management e.g. http://business.queensu.ca/grad_studies/mma/ . I am not so sure about colleges in Canada.

Hey here is my research for the i did regarding Data/ business analytics and related programs too in Canada as far as I know.


Douglas collage in BC

Centennial college in Toronto.

George Brown in Toronto - Mostly online!

Georgian college in Bare, Ontario. 1 hour away from Toronto.

Lambton college - Missisagua branch (very small campus) I dont' know how good this program really is:

This article will help give you overview of other programs I didn't mention in British Colombia too by the name of " How Does Vancouver Address the Big Data Talent Gap?"

There are other programs in didn't mention here, like in the University of Western Ontario and In Waterloo too in Certificate level.

I hope that helps.
