There are over 300 International students with a spouse and/or children in the IO Family program at Memorial University.

With any changes in life, there are adjustments to be made. As a result, supports are available to assist international students arriving with their families to settle into a new home.

The Internationalization Office Family Program can provide information on:

• Family Programming 
• Family health care
• Schools for children
• Daycares for children
• Family tax benefits
• Work and volunteer opportunities for spouses
• ESL opportunities for spouses
• Local community supports and services

The Family Advisor (Camila Fujiwara) can also provide tailored support for families who have personal, financial, or other family concerns. To make an appointment with the Family Advisor, please fill out this form.

Her office is located in the Internationalization Office at the Global Learning Centre, room CA-2007  (Please note, the office is closed because of Covid-19. All advisors are currently working remotely).
