The International Students Office (ISO) is the first stop for all newly admitted international students, and continues to serve as a source of information and guidance up to graduation.

With staff trained in welcoming students from all cultures and educational systems, the office helps guide students through the process of pursuing their education in Canada.

When far from home, navigating new cultural norms and different educational philosophies can leave some international students feeling isolated. Help them adapt and thrive with a donation to the ISO today!

The ISO is dedicated to offering support and services in a variety of ways:

• finding and navigating health insurance
• understanding immigration regulations and documentation
• exploring employment opportunities
• financial literacy and budgeting workshops
• identifying sources of financial assistance, at Concordia and externally

These and other activities help international students make the most of the opportunities available at Concordia, in Montreal and across Canada. They help welcome students to the community, and help build Concordia's global perspective.

In addition to the daily programs of the ISO, your donation will help fund workshops and activities designed to build the international community at Concordia.

Students will benefit from guidance on filing taxes, living far from home, co-operative education opportunities, and help prepare them for the Canadian workforce by visiting typical local workplaces.

You will also help build Concordia's quality of education for all students, by facilitating collaboration and cooperation among students from all backgrounds.
