At any time before, during, or after your time at UFV, you may need a letter from us. These letters confirm details from our records about you. You may need them for work, travel, further education, or other purposes.
As an international student, you can get paid work experience in Canada. You do not need a separate work permit if your study permit says you are allowed to work. There are other criteria depending on whether you are a full-time, part-time, or graduating student. You must also get a social insurance number and file an income tax return.
Whether you are a new student or a returning student, we can help you adjust to university life and living in Canada. We have resources, support, and ideas to guide you at UFV and in your life in the community.
Get involved in your community! Make new friends from your own and other cultures, share peer support, and explore the region around UFV. We have lots of opportunities for you to enjoy yourself, enrich your university experience, and help others learn with you.
