Post-Secondary International Students’ Settlement and Immigration Services in BC
In 2017, the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology contracted AMSSA to conduct research on services that international students use and require, their experience seeking support
services, and service delivery issues.
The report is available on AMSSA’s Settlement Net database and by email request. It is titled Support Services for International Students in British Columbia: A Study on Students’ Needs and Service Delivery.
This Directory lists the settlement and immigration services that BC post-secondary international students are eligible for in service provider organizations (SPOs) contracted by BC Settlement and Integration Services (BC-SIS) and post- secondary institutions (PSIs) eligible for the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program (PGWPP).
AMSSA gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Province of British Columbia through the Ministry of Jobs, Trade and Technology.
