Plan a useful professional conversation

  • Explain why British Columbia is your intended destination and describe any employer, study or family connection.
  • Ask which current stream fits your circumstances, what must be verified and what the professional’s service includes.
  • Confirm the professional’s regulator, authorization, language and service fees before signing an agreement.
