Welcome Guides

Congratulations on your admission to SFU.

Access information you should know as an incoming student from international pathways. International pathways include international students coming from outside Canada, transferring to SFU from FIC or another Canadian post-secondary institution, or newly arriving permanent resident, returning Canadian citizen, or refugee.

International Services for Students (ISS) provides support and services to all SFU students who need information about international learning opportunities and international student support. We look forward to working with you during your time at SFU.
