About Justice Institute of British Columbia

The Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC) was set up by the BC government in 1978 to train people for the justice and public safety systems: police, corrections, courts, sheriffs, firefighters and paramedics. Its main campus is in New Westminster, in Metro Vancouver, with five more campuses across the province.

Only four JIBC programmes are open to international students on a study permit: the Diploma, Post-Baccalaureate Diploma and Bachelor of Law Enforcement Studies, and the Primary Care Paramedicine certificate. JIBC says these are PGWP eligible. Indian students should note that many Canadian police, border and corrections jobs need citizenship or permanent residence, which JIBC itself points out, and that JIBC has no student housing.
