Immigration to British Columbia for masters and PhD graduates

Graduates of B.C. universities with a master's or doctorate degree can immigrate to Canada through the International Post-Graduate stream.

Eligibility

There are two options for participating in the International Post-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.

Candidates without an Express Entry profile have to meet only one requirement: in the last 3 years have graduated with a PhD in any field or a master's degree in one of the following fields:

  • agriculture, agriculture operations, and related sciences
  • biological and biomedical sciences
  • computer and information sciences and support services
  • engineering
  • engineering technology and engineering-related fields
  • health professions and related programs
  • mathematics and statistics
  • natural resources conservation
  • physical sciences.

The degree must be obtained in British Columbia.

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

How to apply

To apply for the program, you must create an account on the B.C. provincial website and provide the required information. f you chose the Express Entry option, you must first create a profile in the Express Entry system.
