Connect with an Immigration Advisor

Immigration advising is a regulated profession. Only a regulated advisor can answer your immigration questions. Advisors at the IO only advise on issues related to your temporary residence stay as an international student. For information about Permanent Resident Programs, click here

To connect with an advisor:

  • Current students can book an appointment through My MUN Life (my.mun.ca)
    To book an appointment:
    1. Go to my.mun.ca and log in
    2. Click "Student" or "Alumni" link near the top of the page.
    3. Click "My MUNLife" in the "Student Services" or "My MUNLife" box.
    4. Click on "Internationalization Office" & then click “Book an Appointment with the Internationalization Office”.
    5. Select Temporary Immigration Advice. 
  • Recently admitted students can schedule an appointment by emailing immigrationadvising@mun.ca from your @mun.ca email (please specify in the email that you do not have access to My MUN Life). 

Preparing for your appointment

  • Prepare questions or topics to discuss prior to advising appointments
  • Aim to arrive on time to scheduled advising appointments

Late arrivals

Our standard appointments are 30 minutes in duration. If students arrive more than 15 minutes past their scheduled appointment time there is no guarantee the advisor will be able to meet with them at that time therefore late arrivals may need to reschedule.

Cancellations

Appointments can be cancelled or rescheduled through the Navigate Student app or through my.mun.ca. If you booked your appointment by email, contact immigrationadvising@mun.ca to cancel. Please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend your scheduled appointment.

Click on the link for the advisor's personal room in webex and request to enter the room. The advisor will be notified you are waiting in the lobby and you will be placed in queue with others waiting in the lobby. Students will be seen in the order they request entry to the room. 

The IAT offers both live sessions and recorded sessions weekly for students.  

  • The live sessions on Wednesday and Brightspace recordings are for current students. Each live session has an accompanying recording and quiz, which you are encouraged to watch and answer before attending the live session. During the live session, a summary of the recording will be provided followed by a question-and-answer session.  All live sessions are virtual, and all sessions and recordings are accessible through Brightspace (course: Immigration Support for International Students). If you do not have access, email immigrationadvising@mun.ca to request access. 
  • The recording on Initial Study Permits and Study Plan is for Newly Admitted students preparing their initial study permit application or who have been refused a study permit. To access the recording you must register and await approval of your registration. To register, you must use your @mun.ca email and provide your student number. If approved, you will be emailed confirmation with the video and quiz links. Please note, while there is an event associated with this registration, no meeting will take place.
