We provide non-academic advising on many topics. Whether you need help adapting to a new country or some advice on your income taxes, our staff are here to provide you with support. Some examples of advising include:

• Immigration: if you have questions about your study permit, visa, ability to work in Canada, etc.
• Personal matters: if you are struggling with your studies or mental health and you would like direction or support.
• Advocacy: if you encounter a negative experience and need to discuss it with a staff member.
• Settlement: if you require support settling into campus and community life.
• Food insecurity: if you need support with purchasing groceries and/or where you can find culturally relevant food.

Please note that we cannot advise you on academic topics such as registration, fees and payments, etc.
