Advising and support

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.

You can book an appointment with the International Student Advisor or visit us at the Wong International Centre.
