BC international education is entering a new era of regulation, transparency, and accountability.
The Province of British Columbia has released the regulations supporting the Post-Secondary International Education (Designated Institutions) Act, which will come into force on September 1, 2026.
This marks an important shift from the long-standing EQA system to a legally binding framework that strengthens oversight, student protection, public transparency, and institutional responsibility.
For Universal Learning Institute, now celebrating 30 years, the message remains clear: quality, students, and compliance come first.
