Connecting with ISIAs

Our International Student Immigration Advisors (ISIAs) are here to help you sort through processes and paperwork.

The ISIAs can help you:

Permanent Residency (PR) Resources

The CIE’s International Student Immigration Advisors cannot advise on permanent residency (PR) and cannot provide assistance with PR applications. 

To learn more about PR, please refer to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website.

IRCC is now offering weekly Question & Answer (Q & A) sessions for international students in both English and French.

The resources below should be reviewed before attending a Question & Answer session.

Students who would like to get professional immigration support are encouraged to seek the services of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) or a lawyer who is licensed to practice law by a provincial/territorial law society in Canada (and has specific expertise with immigration law).
