Public College in New Brunswick, Canada · Updated October 9, 2026
1. Introduction
Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) is a system of public colleges that provides education in French in New Brunswick. CCNB is a separate institution from NBCC, which primarily teaches in English; applicants should choose based on the appropriate language and program.
2. Locations and campuses
CCNB has campuses in Bathurst, Campbellton, Dieppe, Edmundston, and Péninsule acadienne. Campuses vary by program; confirm the language of instruction, study location, and internship location before receiving an acceptance letter.
3. Programs of study
Fields include business, information technology, engineering, trades, health, community services, tourism, and natural resources. Program lists may change by academic year; ensure you choose a program open to international students, at the correct campus, and in the right format.
4. Admission requirements
Applicants must provide equivalent diplomas/transcripts and meet specific subject requirements. The school may conduct assessments or entrance tests. The school specifies French proficiency requirements, such as a minimum TFI score of 700 or TEF level B2; verify the specific test type and program requirements before taking the exam.
5. Tuition and expenses
The 2026–2027 information package lists international tuition at 10,988 CAD/year, with a 330 CAD technology fee. As the general tuition webpage may show different figures, prioritize the academic year documentation and confirm details in the acceptance letter. Additional costs for insurance, books/supplies, student fees, and living expenses should be budgeted; short programs or co-op programs may have different fee structures.
A price of 0 CAD and the “Need consultation” option on KeyApply are used for submitting consultation requests and do not reflect the school's tuition fees. Living expenses, books, insurance, and other costs must be calculated separately if not included in the fee schedule.
6. Scholarships and financial aid
CCNB provides a section for aide financière et bourses. International students must confirm which awards are open to them, how to apply, and the deadlines; they are not automatically eligible for financial aid designated for Canadian residents.
7. Intake and current admissions
Intake schedules and deadlines vary by program. Not all programs offer winter intakes; it is recommended to check the 2027 catalog and consult with admissions regarding seat availability, PAL requirements, and application deadlines.
8. DLI and PGWP
Before applying, verify the institution name, campus, and program status on the IRCC DLI list. Being a public institution or a DLI does not automatically mean all programs are eligible for a PGWP. Cross-reference your program code with the current PGWP eligibility criteria based on your individual profile.
9. Application steps
- Confirm the program is accepting international students, the campus, and the intended intake.
- Prepare your passport, diplomas, transcripts, language test results, and additional documents required by the program.
- Submit your application through the school's official channel or an authorized recruitment partner.
