International Student Orientation

Fall 2025

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. International Student Welcome will introduce you to UVic staff, students, and volunteers who will help you settle into your learning at UVic.

  • 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 team.
