Requirements

Admission Requirements: Academic entry needs successful completion of Grade 10, or its equivalent in the applicant's country of origin, and a Grade 10-level Math course or equivalent, plus a valid BC FoodSafe Level 1 Certificate or equivalent, kept valid throughout the program. English is met by one of: proof of VCC's Lower Intermediate English or equivalent (Canadian Language Benchmark 5 in Listening, Speaking and Reading and 4 in Writing); TOEFL iBT 45; or IELTS overall 4.5 with no band below 4.0. General conditions: Canadian citizen or permanent resident, aged 16 or older or a secondary-school graduate, official transcripts and supporting documents submitted, seats awarded on a first-qualified basis. The program also expects physical capacity to handle wheat, dairy, egg and nut products and requires disclosure of any known food allergy. The intake is currently under review with no confirmed next start date.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply through EducationPlannerBC. VCC publishes each programme's own application window, term by term, on its When to Apply page rather than one college-wide date: windows open roughly six to twenty months before the term starts and close on a stated date, though popular programmes can close earlier once seats fill, since places generally go to eligible applicants in the order their application is completed. International applicants use the International Applicant option on EducationPlannerBC; VCC opens international applications on 1 February of the previous year for Winter entry, 1 June for Spring/Summer, and 1 October for Fall, with no fixed closing date — applications continue until roughly three to four months before the term begins or until it fills, so admission is effectively rolling for international applicants. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
