Prospective International Student


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.
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.
