Advisors at the IO provide direct advising to international students and are available to answer faculty and staff's questions about student's Canadian immigration requirements, and to consult on policy/program  changes that may impact  students’ immigration status.

Immigration advising is a regulated profession. Only a regulated advisor can answer questions related to Canadian immigration.

• Questions related to international students and their Canadian immigration status are managed by the Internationalization Office.
• Questions related to faculty and staff (including post-docs) and their Canadian immigration status is managed by the Office of Faculty Relations

The Immigration Advising Team at the IO advise on issues related to an international students' temporary residence stay (study permits, work permits and visas). We do not advise on permanent residency, citizenship or refugee issues - We can connect students with Provincial Immigration Officers, external immigration lawyers and consultants; and host regular information sessions on the topic of permanent residency.
