About New Brunswick Community College (NBCC)

NBCC is a publicly funded community college in New Brunswick, Canada, operating six campuses since 1974 and offering 90+ diploma and certificate programs.

New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) is a publicly funded, autonomous Crown corporation established in 1974 under the New Brunswick Community College Act. It operates six campuses across the province, in Fredericton (head office), Moncton, Saint John, Miramichi, St. Andrews, and Woodstock, and enrols roughly 4,000 full-time students alongside over 10,000 continuing-education participants annually.

NBCC offers more than 90 diploma, certificate, and graduate certificate programs across 18 sectors, including information technology, skilled trades, engineering technology, health sciences, business, culinary arts, and digital media. The college is a member of Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) and became one of North America's early institutions to offer video game design education. It also runs apprenticeable trades training and corporate workforce development programs.

The Fredericton campus serves as the administrative hub and is located in New Brunswick's provincial capital. New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province, and the region has a lower cost of living than major Canadian metros. The college's small campus sizes are designed to support high faculty-to-student contact, which the institution positions as a practical alternative to large university settings.

New Brunswick AIP is one of Canada's fastest PR pathways. Very affordable province. NBCC campuses in Fredericton, Saint John, Moncton, Woodstock, Miramichi. Strong programs in IT, Business, and Trades.

  • NBCC's annual international tuition of CAD $10,260 (approximately USD $7,500 for 2026-27) places it among Canada's most affordable pathways to a credential, making it accessible for Nepali students who need to manage overall study costs carefully.
  • Graduates of NBCC's PGWP-eligible programs, which span IT, engineering technology, skilled trades, and business, can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit of up to three years, providing a direct route toward Canadian Permanent Residence under Atlantic immigration programs including the Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP), which prioritises graduates who settle in Atlantic Canada.
  • New Brunswick's Atlantic Immigration Program actively seeks international graduates to address regional labour shortages, giving NBCC graduates a structural advantage over graduates from high-competition provinces like Ontario when applying for permanent residency.
  • NBCC's practical, two-year diploma programs in high-demand fields such as software development, cybersecurity, network administration, and engineering technology align well with employment pathways that Nepali students frequently pursue in Canada, and the shorter program length (versus a four-year degree) reduces total study costs significantly.
