BCPNP - International Post Graduate Stream

[Asad Bashir]

Hi everyone. I'm having some confusion in understanding the eligibility requirements of one of the BC-PNP stream "International Post Graduate". I'm confused that whether the eligibility says that I have to complete Masters from institution in BC or just that my program is eligible as in institution in BC ? I have completed my Masters form Pakistan (outside Canada). Do I have to complete degree from institution in BC or just that my program is eligible ? Also in their eligibility requirement they mentioned programs that are eligible. I've done "Master of Science" in Electrical Engineering and they have mentioned "Master of Applied Science" and "Master of Engineering" in Electrical Engineering. I don't know are they same or different ?
Can anyone please help me understand these requirements ?
I'm displaying the requirements below as mentioned in their website.

-------> START
The International Post-Graduate stream is for recent graduates of an eligible B.C. post-secondary institution with an eligible master’s or doctoral degree. PhD candidates at a public B.C. post-secondary institution may also be eligible.

I've completed my Masters degree but I've done it from Pakistan. I never studied in any institution in BC before

So you are not eligible. This stream is for those international students who did a Masters, Phd in BC in one of the stated fields.

To qualify for this stream, you must have obtained eligible graduate-level education from an eligible program of study at a post-secondary institution in B.C. in the last three years.
