Immigration to British Columbia for international graduates

The International Graduate stream is for Canadian university graduates who have found work in the province of British Columbia.

Eligibility

There are two options for participating in the International Graduate stream:

• for candidates who meet the requirements of one of the federal programs and have an Express Entry profile;
• for candidates without an Express Entry profile.

You must meet the following criteria to apply for the stream:

• have completed a study program of at least 8 months in Canada within the last 3 years and got a degree, diploma, or certificate;
• get a job offer from a B.C. employer in a skilled or trades occupation that meets category TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 of the NOC classification;
• demonstrate the ability to support yourself and dependent family members (see below);
• for occupations in NOC TEER 2 and 3: provide language test results with a minimum CLB 4 score.

Those who use the Express Entry option need to meet the minimum requirements of one of the three federal programs:

• Federal Skilled Worker;
• Federal Skilled Trades;
• Canadian Experience Class.

Candidates with priority occupations can immigrate through the International Graduate in a simplified way.
