Arriving in Canada for the first time? Join us for a virtual workshop to learn about the steps you need to take before you travel to Canada. We’ll talk about what it’s like to arrive in Canada, provide you with a checklist of important things to get done during your first few days at UBC, and cover some crucial immigration topics. After this workshop you should feel confident about boarding your flight to Canada and arriving at UBC. This session will be led by a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant from UBC’s International Student Advising Office.
