CONNECT WITH A GO ABROAD ADVISOR


A Go Abroad advisor can help you:

  • Explore experiential learning opportunities through academic studies, internships or research abroad
  • Find programs that align with your academic goals and interests 
  • Understand application timelines and necessary steps
  • Prepare for conversations with your faculty or academic advisor about transfer credit
  • Navigate awards and funding resources associated with education abroad

Note: We can provide limited guidance on visas and study/work permits; students are responsible for confirming official requirements directly with the appropriate embassy or consulate.

International students seeking Canadian immigration or settlement advice should connect with International Student & Visitor Services (ISVS).
