International Student Welcome

September 2027

As an international student, you have a unique experience transitioning to university and life in Canada, so we have designed an orientation program just for you. The International Student Welcome event will introduce you to UVic staff, students and volunteers who will help you settle into UVic. This event is part of the International Student Orientation Programs, with many more in-person and online events for new international students at UVic. Join us to:

  • Make new connections with fellow students while discovering important campus resources.
  • Learn about immigration documents, work eligibility requirements, health insurance, and other important tasks as an international student.
  • Engage in fun activities to build and get to know your community, including the International Centre for Students (ICS) team.

The International Student Welcome will be a full day of in-person programming that will start with an opening ceremony, include lunch and information sessions, and end with a social that will connect you with new friends, campus resources and the International Centre for Students team.
