International student support
University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP)
The health of our students is of utmost importance to us. If you need any information about the UHIP coverage, please visit our pages to find all the information you need to guide your students or contact our team.
International Student Immigration Advisor
U of T is home to many international students. We need to do our best collectively to support their journey. This includes helping them navigate Canada’s immigration system and ensuring they maintain their legal status in Canada for whatever project or activity they undertake on an academic, professional or personal level.
While we all want to assist our students, please note that only Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) and Regulated International Student Immigration Advisors (RISIAs) are legally allowed to advise students on immigration matters.
If you have any concerns or questions, please contact us, or consult our resources online.
Scholarships
The CIE provides access to a number of exciting scholarships and funding opportunities, with the aim of facilitating access to global learning experiences for students from all fields and backgrounds.
Students have access to a variety of Global Experiences and funding options, through programs such as Laidlaw, DAAD, MEXT, and Schwartzman. Likewise, the CIE runs several Inbound Visiting Opportunities and Scholarships that students are invited to explore.
