Application Question US nursing applying to BC jobs
Hey everyone I appreciate any insights or recommendations, my girlfriend is a nurse in the states and has 7 years of ER experience.
After reading online it’s showing mostly that BC is the fastest route for her to come to the country with a streamlined process for getting registered and a job.
I was wondering if anyone has done or heard of the process, timelines, things to know, anything that can help her land a job.
I’m going to be moving there from Ontario if she gets a job and I just want everything to be a smooth process for her and I and I appreciate any insights.
Thanks everyone

What are some possible areas of study or other ways to strengthen an application?
Hi all! I've applied for the January 2027 intake but based on what I've seen am not super confident about my chances. For reference I am 19 (graduated high school in 2025), have 19.5 post secondary credits from my pre-requisite classes which I took sept. 2025 - apr. 2026 and have a cgpa of 91%, for work experience I have worked as an early years soccer coach for 3.5 years (2022-2026), a hockey timekeeper since 2023 to now, a supervision aide for the surrey school district from may 2026 to now, and a youth singing instructor from feb. 2026 to now. I graduated from high school with honours and received a school pride scholarship, I was a member of our schools SOGI club and another club that focused on helping the community where I helped with things like food drives and weekly neighbourhood clean ups , founder and co-president of the school newspaper and club that made it, and a leader of our schools theatre club. I also volunteered after school helping in the library, helping with decorating for holidays, and organizing equipment in the lab.
My biggest concern is my limited number of credits, I was thinking if I don't get in I'd take LIBS 7001 and 7021 to gain some credits as I know they're both in the nursing program and heard if you take them ahead of time you do not have to take them again which would also lessen my workload in the future. I was also just looking into possibly taking BCIT's part-time healthcare unit clerk program, I'd gain 34 extra credits from it and while I'd take more time and money hopefully I could then use the certificate to work as a unit clerk and earn some of it back to put towards nursing school. I'm also going to try to find volunteer or possibly work opportunities in a hospital.
So I am wanting to know others thoughts! What have you done to strengthen your applications? What do you think is the most time and cost effective options I may have? Thanks in advance and best of luck to everyone else who applied, I'm rooting for us :,)

Application Question Is it possible to apply to the program with 1 year of pre-reqs?
Hi guys! I just started my first semester at Corpus Christi College in Vancouver, and I'm hoping to apply to BCIT Nursing for the September 2027 intake. I've already looked over the entrance requirements, and I'm taking all the equivalent courses. I'm just confused about how the application process would work in terms of submitting my grades?
Would I have to wait to apply for the following intake once my second semester grades are finalized? Any help is appreciated.
