International Student Advisor
An International Student Advisor can support you in the following areas:
- Discussing Canadian immigration topics relating to international students and their legal dependents: study permit conditions, working conditions, entry documents, etc.
- Guide students through Canadian immigration application processes which relate to study permit holders.
- The importance of remaining a full-time student and discussing implications of part-time.
- Discussing potential changes in academic journey which could impact immigration status.
- Developing a plan to deal with academic difficulties (i.e., Academic Probation, Suspension).
- Dropping, or withdrawing from a course.
- Taking a leave from studies.
- Course registration.
Note: Trent University’s International Student Immigration Advisors are Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors (RISIAs) and cannot advise on permanent residence or citizenship, fill out immigration application forms on a student’s behalf, or represent students. For these services, you will require a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC).
