History

In June 1990, the members of the BC legislative assembly passed the University of Northern British Columbia Act, officially creating the University of Northern British Columbia. The dream of having a northern university goes back much further, to the 1960s, when then-MLA Ray Williston set aside the land on which the University of Northern British Columbia's Prince George campus is currently situated as a university reserve. Later, former Bishop Fergus O'Grady proposed a catholic university for Prince George. Instead, Prince George College (now closed) became a high school, though the Prince George neighborhood around the school (called College Heights) bears university street names as a legacy of his idea.

If you are from one of these countries, you can travel to Canada for a maximum of 6 months without the need for a TRV. If you are flying to Canada, you will most likely need to apply online for an eTA. If your country of citizenship is not exempt from the TRV requirement and you wish to study in Canada for less than 6-months, you will then need to apply for and be approved for a TRV before traveling to Canada. A TRV gives you permission to travel to and enter Canada. All students who plan to study in Canada for greater than 6 months require a study permit.
