International Student Support Resources
The International Education Centre (IEC) assists students throughout their academic journey - before you arrive, during your studies and as you are about to graduate. While studying at the college, the IEC also advocates on your behalf and acts as a liaison with other departments and services to ensure international students have the skills, support and advice they need to succeed in their studies and reach their career goals.
We have many resources for students to refer to that will help them on their journey to Thunder Bay, during their studies and after graduation. We have divided them into categories based on where each student is at in their journey.
