VCC's apprenticeship programs and courses are not open to international students, as they typically require registration with SkilledTradesBC and are intended for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. International students interested in trades at VCC should look for programs that are explicitly marked as accepting international students via the VCC Program Availability Chart. These may include foundation programs that lead into potential future apprenticeships for those who later become permanent residents, or other full-time trades programs designed for international students.
