New International Graduate Streams for BCPNP 2025

By Travis P August 19, 2024 2 min. read

British Columbia will introduce three new BCPNP immigration pathways in January 2025 for international students who recently graduated from the province. These pathways will be available to graduates with bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degrees. These new programs aim to help foreign students stay in Canada and find jobs.

To be considered an international graduate for this program, you must have completed your degree, diploma, or certificate at a qualified British Columbia school within the past three years.

New BCPNP Program Details

The province has shared some initial details about these new programs:

More information is coming soon, so stay updated with this page! British Columbia will release full details about the programs, including specific requirements, later this year.

What Are the New BCPNP Streams?

Bachelor’s Stream

Recent graduates with a bachelor’s degree from a qualified British Columbia university can apply for this stream. To be eligible, you must have a full-time job offer with no end date.

Master’s Stream

Recent graduates with a master’s degree from a qualified British Columbia university can apply. You must have a full-time job offer that lasts at least a year in a skilled occupation.

Doctorate Stream

For recent PhD graduates or current PhD students of doctoral level programs from eligible British Columbia post-secondary universities.

Important Details to Consider

Job Offers

No occupation limits: There won’t be a specific list of jobs that qualify for these new programs. However, you’ll still need a job offer to apply.

Programs of Study

Any field can apply. Graduates from any field of study can be eligible for these programs, as long as they meet the other requirements.

Competition

Separate pools. Applicants will be grouped based on their degree level (Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Doctorate). This means you’ll only compete with people who have the same level of education.

Second time working with Visaplace, and was successful again with a visa application for parents (2 out of 2). Worked with Felicita and Mansi, strong guidance, very detailed approach to putting together a very thorough and comprehensive application. Good feedback and support throughout the full process. Highly recommend Visaplace!

We are incredibly grateful to Attorney Felicita and her outstanding team for their exceptional legal support. Thanks to their expertise, professionalism, and efficiency, we were able to secure two work visas and a visitor visa for our family members — all within a remarkably short period of time.

Attorney Felicita’s leadership, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of immigration law made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The team was responsive, thorough, and truly committed to achieving the best outcome for us.

We highly recommend Attorney Felicita and her team to anyone in need of skilled and reliable legal representation. Their dedication and results speak for themselves.

Thank you 🙏
