International Students

Connect your education to the career you want

Career & Experiential Learning is excited to welcome our international students to Canada and provide guidance and support on their professional career development journey.

Anyone who works in Canada must have a Social Insurance Number (SIN) to legally be permitted to work and to have access to government programs and benefits. Employers will ask for proof of SIN (e.g.: Confirmation of SIN letter or Canadian Revenue Agency tax papers) before you begin work.
For more information on SINs, visit Service Canada or to learn your responsibilities as a SIN holder, read the SIN Code of Practice.
