Centennial College is a public college in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Established in 1966, it was Ontario's first public community college and today has five campuses in the Greater Toronto Area, mainly in the eastern part of the city.

The college offers over 400 diploma, degree and certificate programmes, grouped into faculties for areas such as business, communications, community services, health, science, engineering, arts, hospitality and transportation. Many programmes allow graduates to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and Career Services and Co-operative Education support co-op placements. Centennial also runs Global Experience programmes for studying, working or volunteering abroad.

International students apply online through ApplyCentennial, choosing up to two programmes and paying a non-refundable application fee of CAD 125. After acceptance, a registration deposit of CAD 2,000 confirms the place and leads to the Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) needed for a study permit. All applicants must demonstrate English proficiency. A pre-arrival programme, headSTART, helps with immigration, travel and finding housing, and International Student Advisors provide immigration support. Entrance scholarships of up to CAD 5,000 are available for international students starting in September 2026 or January 2027.
