- Engineering and Engineering Technology
- Health Professions and Related Clinical Sciences

2025 Program Changes: What to Expect
Significant changes are on the horizon for the BC PNP International Graduate and International Post-Graduate streams starting in 2025. The BC Provincial Government plans to introduce three distinct streams:
- Bachelor’s Stream: Targeting graduates with bachelor’s degrees from eligible institutions who hold an indeterminate full-time job offer.
- Master’s Stream: Designed for those with master’s degrees and at least a one-year full-time job offer in a skilled occupation.
- Doctorate Stream: Open to PhD graduates and candidates, with specifics on the job offer requirement yet to be detailed.
Furthermore, the language proficiency requirements will be heightened to a minimum of CLB 8 for these new streams, a substantial increase from the current minimum standards.
