International Student Advising Office
Welcome to the International Student Advising Office! You've come to the right place! Our team of advisors are here to help, whether you need information, or just a friendly chat. We can talk to you about immigration, health insurance, academic and career options and how to get settled here in the city of St. John's. There are already over 1500 students from 90 countries around the world that are studying or working here, and we hope you will join us!
Immigration Online Application Changes and Information Session
In December 2012, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) made several changes to their online applications for temporary resident documents (i.e. study permits, work permits and visas). The format of the applications have changed, as well as the documents that you are required to submit with your application. There has also been the addition of a Coop Work Permit online application and a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV or entry visa) online application.
The ISA has scheduled several information sessions over the next couple of months which will outline the new process for applying for many of these documents. The schedule of sessionscan be found here. If you have any questions that are not answered by viewing our website or attending a session, or you are not able to attend a session, contact Natasha either by email, nclark@mun.ca, by phone 864-2170, or by visiting the ISA office (appointment may be required).
The ISA is no longer accepting opt outs and opt ins to the Foreign Health Insurance for the Winter 2013 semester. The deadline was January 18, 2013. The next opportunity to opt out of the foreign health will be Spring 2013.
