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 midwifery registration in a Canadian province or territory that recognizes that program. Once you have been granted registration in that jurisdiction, you can apply for registration in B.C. as a Canadian midwife.

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

We acknowledge the rights and title of the First Nations on whose collective unceded territories encompass the land base colonially known as British Columbia. We give specific thanks to the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking peoples the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations and the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh-ulh Sníchim speaking Peoples the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), on whose unceded territories BCCNM’s office is located. We also give thanks for the medicines of these territories and recognize that laws, governance, and health systems tied to these lands and waters have existed here for over 9000 years.

We also acknowledge the unique and distinct rights, including rights to health and wellness, of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples from elsewhere in Canada who now live in British Columbia. As leaders in the settler health system, we acknowledge our responsibilities to these rights under international, national, and provincial law.​
