What is an ISA/IGSA and what do they do?
Did you know that Humber has seven dedicated staff members who work as advisors to international students? They are all licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs), meaning they are legally authorized to advise international students on issues related to immigration applications (eg. Study Permits, Co-op Work Permits, Work Authorization, Post-Graduation Work Permits, etc.). There is no additional cost for international students to access this highly specialized service through the Humber ISA/IGSA team.
The ISAs/IGSA:
- Provide non-academic student support and immigration advising to students and immigration counsel to the Humber community
- Develop, deliver, and support culturally relevant international student programming
- Lead and support the development of comprehensive international student transition & support plans
- Mediate international student issues with contacts both inside and outside Humber
