Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts trains students from around the world.

Effective January 31st, 2011, Citizenship and Immigration Canada and the Government of British Columbia has expanded the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program to include international students who have completed career training programs from select British Columbia Education Quality Assurance (EQA) designated private post-secondary institutions in programs of eight months or longer.

As part of this expansion, international students may be eligible for a Canadian work permit lasting for a period equal to the duration of their studies if:  

•  the career program they are studying is eight months or longer AND

•  the career program they are studying is held at a select private post-secondary institution in British Columbia with an EQA designation, AND

•  the career program they are studying commenced within the period of January 31, 2011 to January 30, 2013 

Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts is proud to hold the EQA of BC designation and excited to be the only private culinary and baking & pastry arts training centre in BC to be selected to participate in this Post-Graduation Work Permit Program expansion.

This is a very exciting opportunity for international students who wish to study the culinary and baking & pastry arts in Canada.  If you are interested in obtaining more information about program eligibility, please contact the Institute to speak with an Admissions representative.
