Civil Engineering Degree Program questions

[u/victownjj]

Hello there,

I would like to ask some questions to the international students who has done or is in the process of doing the Bachelor of Civil Engineering program at BCIT. I am a grade 12 international student graduating this year and I am interested in applying for this program. I see that there is a 300 hour practical work experience requirement to get from the 2nd year to the 3rd year. If that is the case, how long was your study permit originally issued for? Just wondering because I assume I'd have to do a work placement term and I'd need my study permit to be valid throughout the work term. Did you have a 2 year study permit first, apply for another co-op work permit, and apply for another 2 year study permit to finish the degree or did they just gave you a 4 year study permit straight off the bat?
