Graduate​s of midwifery education programs not recognized by BCCNM

If you are a graduate of a Canadian midwifery education program not recognized by BCCNM, you must first apply for and be granted a midwifery licence in a Canadian province or territory that recognizes that program. Once you have been granted a licence in that jurisdiction, you can apply for a licence in B.C. as a Canadian midwife.

If you complete your midwifery program outside of Canada, you will need to apply for your licence as an internationally educated midwife.​
