If it turns out that you don’t actually qualify as a BC resident, you won’t be disqualified. We also want to remind everyone that we will contact you if we have any questions about your BC residency. Driver’s licenses, BC CareCards, tax returns, and property tax statements are not accepted as proof of BC residency. If it doesn’t, please submit a different proof of BC residency like a secondary school transcript, letter from an employer, rental contract or letter from landlord, etc. If your transcript has the correct years on it, then yes, your university transcript proves BC residency. Does it show the required number of years and/or dates, based on the BC residency definition you picked? For example, does it show that you studied in BC for all three of the 2009/2010, 2010/2011, and 2011/2012 academic years? Or, does it show that you lived in BC for four (not necessarily consecutive) years? First, decide which BC residency definition you fall under (if you meet more than one, just pick one). We sometimes get the question “Does my university transcript prove BC residency?” This is really a question to ask yourself.
We’ve been getting some questions about the following topics:
