In September, you may have seen or heard about an announcement by the Canadian government about international student eligibility for Study Permits and Post-Graduation Work Permits.  

Humber is actively working with national education organizations to seek more clarity from IRCC on the recently announced changes. 

Virtual workshops are taking place over the coming weeks to explain these changes to current and future Humber international students. 

Our first workshop will be held: 
Date: Thursday, October 3, 2024 
Time: 12 p.m. EDT 
Join the workshop

 Future workshop dates/times:  

• Tuesday, October 8 from 3:00-4:00pm EDT 
• Tuesday, October 15 from 10:00-11:00am EDT 
• Tuesday, October 22 from 2:00-3:00pm EDT 

International students are an important part of the Humber community, and we understand that this news may be concerning to both current and future Humber international students. Students are encouraged to attend a session to learn more about the changes.

The Research Analyst program (RAP) is pleased to host a virtual speakers' series, featuring corporate, social, community, and academic speakers from their respective research sectors. Students benefit by networking with the speakers, and learning about the following topics: technological, regulatory, policy, and employment trends in the industry, key employment skills, the type of opportunities open in research, and the types of tasks and duties that comprise different roles within the sector.
