New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) is a college in New Brunswick, Canada, with six campuses in Fredericton, Miramichi, Moncton, Saint John, St. Andrews and Woodstock. It offers full-time and part-time career programmes and microcredentials with a hands-on approach and real-life work experience. According to a 2025 survey by Prairie Research Associates cited by the college, 92% of its 2024 graduates were employed within one year.

NBCC welcomes students from more than 70 countries each year. Programmes that have been open to international applicants include:

• Accounting and payroll administration
• Administrative professional
• Business administration: management
• Civil and electrical engineering technician and technology programmes
• Wind and solar energy technician (optional co-op)

International students are not eligible for specialised programmes, and the college publishes a list of fields of study that qualify for Canada's Post-Graduation Work Permit. International tuition for 2026-27 is CA$10,260 for the full-time year. NBCC has no on-campus housing; students find their own accommodation, with support and resources from the college.

International applicants apply through NBCC's international application portal, which lists the programmes and intakes currently accepting applications (applications for Winter 2027 and Fall 2027 are open). Programmes may open or close frequently, and the college sets enrolment targets by country of citizenship. A non-refundable application fee applies, and all international applicants must demonstrate academic English proficiency. Specialised programmes are not open to international students. Application status updates usually arrive within 6 to 8 weeks.

International applicants must show academic English proficiency with a test taken within the last two years (or be exempt, e.g. English as first language). Minimum scores:

• IELTS Academic 6.0 (no band below 5.5)
• TOEFL iBT 4.0 on the new scale (no section below 4.0), or 80 on the old scale (no section below 18)
• Duolingo 100 (no subscore below 90); Cambridge Advanced 169; CAEL 60; PTE Academic 65 (none below 60)

Applicants who do not meet the requirement can complete a pathway programme with one of NBCC's English language training partners.

Full-time tuition and fees for international students, 2026-27 academic year (Canadian dollars):

• Tuition: $5,130 per term, $10,260 for the year
• Application fee: $100 (non-refundable)
• Confirmation deposits: $1,500 and $4,750, applied to first-term tuition and fees
• Insurance: $865 per year, including $600 for Guard.me
• Technology and learning resource fee: $332 per year

NBCC does not offer on-campus housing; students must find their own accommodation, and the college provides housing resources and guides for its six campus communities. Because New Brunswick has a shortage of rental properties, students should start searching early and may need temporary accommodation at first; landlords usually advertise four to six weeks before move-in.
