International Student Advising

Our team of International Student Advisors are Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors (RISIAs) or Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) who can help through group immigration advising, drop-in hours, and one-on-one personal development appointments.

Drop-in Hours

Do you have a quick question or are looking for some guidance? Join our drop-in hours to ask to an International Student Advisor your questions! Beginning from the Fall 2023 semester, our drop-in hours are hybrid, meaning you can join us on Zoom on the links below, or in-person at the ISS Office, located at POD 50A.

Please make sure that you are logged into your Zoom (external link)  account in order to access the sessions if you are joining virtually.

Action Plan appointments are designed to support international students with Academic, English Language, Financial, Mental Health and Social Transition. The appointments will provide you with a 1:1 session with the International Student Retention Facilitator (ISRF) to connect you with resources and refer you to workshops offered through ISS and campus partners.

During the meeting, the ISRF will work with you to help you identify your main challenges and develop an Action Plan: a personalized, step-by-step, referral guide and next steps to address your concerns. Please click on and fill out the Action Plan Intake Form (external link)  before your appointment with the ISRF.
