BCCIE is pleased to invite our International Education sector to join Sian Upton – Employer Liaison Office for IRCC, for a presentation and Q&A on Express Entry, with a focus on how this system can serve as an immigration path for international students graduating from educational institutions in BC.
Attendees will come away from this session with the following:
- Increased knowledge of Express Entry, the immigration application management system rolled out in January 2015; how it works, and how students can prepare a path towards immigration
- Enhanced understanding of where students can find relevant information on the IRCC website
- Resources that can be accessed on a regular basis to obtain the latest immigration regulatory updates
