Welcome and student mentor program
Our welcome program is designed to ensure you have a friend in Canada from the moment you arrive. Upper-year domestic and international students are eager to welcome you to our campus and help settle you in the community. Students are available to meet you at the airport, go grocery shopping, have coffee or assist you with anything that you need to settle into your new home.
