How to Apply (International)

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR INTERNATIONAL APPLICANTS
Due to recent IRCC Changes, including NBCC's CIP List, please see Updated International Application Process.

November 1, 2024, Update: On September 18, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced changes to the International Student Program. We are currently matching the federal Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) Codes to our programs to see which fields of study will still qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Once we confirm the list of eligible programs, we will share more information about the application process.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate these changes.
IMPORTANT NOTICE

The NBCC application portal is now open to international applicants for the Winter 2025 and Fall 2025 terms.

NBCC welcomes students from more than 70 countries around the world each year. As part of our commitment to ensuring our student body remains vibrant and representative of different cultures and backgrounds, we have established strategic enrolment targets based on “Country of Citizenship.” NBCC considers many factors when setting strategic country enrolment targets, including program availability, visa processing times and approval rates, under-represented regions, diversity of the student body, and more.

Note: Due to the high volume of international applications received, you can expect to receive updates regarding application status within 6 - 8 weeks from the date your application is submitted.
