Important Information
To qualify for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP), international students have to maintain full-time student status during each academic session of their program. Full-time status at Laurier is four courses per term.
If you have studied part-time during an academic term (three courses or less), you will need to see an International Student Advisor to determine your eligibility for the PGWP prior to submitting your application.

The Intercultural Students Association of Brantford (ISAB) is a student-led group focused on fostering connectivity and positive relationships between domestic and international students.
ISAB creates an open and inviting community for the sharing and expression of diverse cultures, and to support the success of international students. The club also provides a forum for students to meet like-minded peers while becoming more globally engaged.
Throughout the academic year, ISAB members host and participate in social gatherings. They also work to mark important global events, and help to promote student mobility opportunities.
For information on how to join ISAB, email isab@wlu.ca.
