International Pre-Arrival Resources

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

November 19, 2024, Update: On September 18, 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) announced changes to the International Student Program. We have matched 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). You can review the NBCC list here: Program List - PGWP Eligible Fields of Study.

We are so excited that you will be joining one of our six beautiful NBCC campus communities! We also know that there is a lot of preparation that needs to happen between now and then. Please be sure to attend all pre-arrival webinars and review the information on this webpage thoroughly to ensure that you are prepared for a successful start to your time in Canada and your NBCC studies.

Through our pre-arrival webinars, we want to provide you with the opportunity to learn more about the College, student support services, entering Canada, health insurance, and more. Below, you will find registration information, other helpful video content, and resources to ensure that you are prepared to begin your studies at NBCC and in Canada.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to campus!

NBCC campuses are located on Mi’kmaq, Wolastoq and Peskotomuhkati homelands. Since 1726 this land has been subject to treaties that are still in effect today. We are grateful to learn together on this land and do so guided by the original spirit of those treaties - peace, respect and friendship.
