BC PNP IPG & EEBC IPG ELIGIBLE PROGRAMS OF STUDY
In January 2025, the International Graduate and International Post-Graduate (IPG) streams will be
replaced by Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctorate streams that will have new eligibility criteria. For
details on these new streams, please refer to the BC PNP’s news post.
The content in this guide is valid for the remaining duration of the IPG stream. There will be no
further updates to this list.
The tables below identify programs of study within the natural, health and applied sciences fields
that are eligible for consideration under the International Post-Graduate stream of the BC PNP.
Further details regarding the classification of these programs of study can be found on Statistics
Canada’s Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) website. Please note that the lists below
are subject to change.
Completing a program on this list does not guarantee a nomination under the International Post-
Graduate stream. Inclusion on this list only means that a program is in an eligible field of study
and is (or has been) offered by an authorized British Columbia institution. Your program must
also meet all other requirements of the International Post-Graduate categories as listed in the BC
PNP Skills Immigration and Express Entry BC Program Guide. For example, your education will
not be eligible if it is a “distance education learning program.” A distance education learning
program means a program of study in which the majority of the credits earned by the student
toward the completion of a program of study were earned by completing online courses.
Prospective students should also note that inclusion on this list does not necessarily mean that a
program is currently offered. To confirm the current status of a program, consult the post-
secondary institution that offers it.
There are no restrictions on field of study for doctoral degrees that have been completed at public
post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. However, regulatory or professional doctorates,
such as Juris Doctor (J.D.) and Doctor of Medicine (M.D.), are not eligible.
If you have achieved candidacy in a Ph.D. program in any field of study at a public post-secondary
institution in British Columbia, you may also be eligible. See the Skills Immigration program guide
for more details.
