The International Student Immigration Plan is a personalized planning tool to support international students throughout their undergraduate and graduate degrees at Queen’s University.

The plan is intended to encourage proactive planning, informed decision-making around study permits, health care and long-term student success from arrival through graduation. 

Developed with International Student Advisors and campus partners, the plan helps students connect their academic goals, career development, and immigration responsibilities into one coordinated pathway. Through structured yearly milestones, students are supported in building confidence, maintaining immigration compliance, accessing campus resources, and preparing for post-graduation opportunities in Canada.

In this workshop, learn how to support your immigration goals and journey from one of our international student advisors. 

Registration open now.
