Get SFU-Ready: New International Student Q & As
ABOUT THIS Q & A SERIES
Are you ready to be an SFU student in September? How prepared are you for your transition?
As a new international student for Fall 2020, you will be starting your SFU journey at an unprecedented time. In addition to preparing for a new academic environment, you are navigating the complexities of Canadian immigration regulations, medical insurance requirements, and more -- and you may even be doing it without leaving home. No matter where you are in the world, or in your academic career, we are excited to welcome you to our SFU community and support you in your transition.
Our goal is to ensure you have what you need to make informed decisions about your studies in Canada and at SFU even before they begin, and to give you an opportunity to get your questions answered.
We hope you will join us for this Q&A series, where in each session an International Student Advisor will provide a brief overview of the selected topics for international students and give you a chance to ask any questions you still have.
