ÂÜÀòÉäÇø works closely with a global network of authorized agents and associates. These associates play a key role in ensuring that prospective international students have accurate and complete information about ÂÜÀòÉäÇø, and assist students in planning and preparing for their studies at ÂÜÀòÉäÇø.
Prospective international students are not required to use education agents to apply directly to ÂÜÀòÉäÇø. You may submit your application through Education Planner BC (EPBC) independently.
Choosing an agent
Before you select an agent there are a few important things to remember:
- When choosing an agent, we recommend you confirm that your representative is a registered agent with ÂÜÀòÉäÇø. You can confirm this by emailing us at agent@unbc.ca.
- Using an educational agent does not mean that you are guaranteed admission to ÂÜÀòÉäÇø or that you will obtain a Canadian study permit. Any agent who makes these claims is not being honest.
- Discuss the services your agent will provide. If there is a cost involved, ask for the cost of each service in writing.
- For your own safety and security, original documents such as passports, academic transcripts and other records should always be kept by you.
- All payments and deposits should be made payable directly to ÂÜÀòÉäÇø and not through the agent.
Applying with the assistance of an agent
If you do decide to use an agent, they should assist you in completing your Application to ÂÜÀòÉäÇø through EducationPlannerBC (EPBC).
Prospective international students who would like to use the service of education agents to assist with their application, please ensure your agent correctly identifies themselves as your representative.
Once they have identified themselves on the application, ÂÜÀòÉäÇø will be able to communicate with your agent and provide them with updates on your application.
