International Student FAQ

Start with International Student and Visitor Services (ISVS). ISVS is the main UAlberta unit for international student settlement, immigration-adjacent support, orientation, webinars, and referrals. Use it for study permits, work permits, visas, health insurance, Social Insurance Number information, arriving in Edmonton, cultural adjustment, emergency funding referrals, and getting connected to campus services.

Sources ISVS home Contact ISVS

Use the official ISVS contact page and the student service portal. Generally use your @ualberta.ca email and include your student ID when asking about your file. ISVS also advertises in-person support, but availability can change by term, so check the contact page before going in person.

The Student Service Centre is the broad front door for registrar and student-service questions: admissions, registration, records, transcripts, convocation, financial support routing, general Bear Tracks questions, and referrals to health, wellness, academic, or faculty supports. For faculty-specific academic advice, degree rules, course substitutions, or program planning, SSC may refer you to your faculty or department.

If your phone is unlocked, you can usually start with a Canadian SIM card or eSIM from a major or discount provider. Compare plans by monthly cost, data, Canada-wide calling, contract length, setup fees, and whether you must bring your own device. Student promotions often appear around August and September, so bring government photo ID, your study permit, and your ONEcard if a provider asks for student proof.

Sources Prepare for UAlberta

Do not panic-buy everything before you arrive. Focus first on a warm winter jacket, gloves, hat, scarf, thermal layers, winter boots with grip, and a way to protect your phone battery in the cold. Weather apps may show both the actual temperature and a “feels like” wind-chill temperature; dress for the wind chill, especially on windy days. ISVS orientation and settlement sessions often cover winter preparation, and local students can help you avoid overpriced or unsuitable items.

Apply through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) using official instructions.

Be suspicious of calls, texts, emails, or social media messages claiming to be from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Canada Revenue Agency, police, a delivery company, or a bank if they threaten arrest, deportation, account closure, or immediate penalties. Real government offices do not demand urgent payment by cryptocurrency, gift cards, wire transfer, or casual e-transfer.

IRCC says you should apply to extend your study permit at least 30 days before it expires. Do not wait until the final week. If your passport expires soon, renew the passport first when possible, because IRCC will not issue a study permit beyond your passport validity.

Sources Study permit extension - IRCC

If you applied for the extension before your current permit expired and you remain in Canada, IRCC generally allows you to keep studying under the same conditions while the application is in process (maintained status). Because status issues are individual, confirm your situation with IRCC instructions or ISVS if anything is unusual.

IRCC rules can shorten how long your study permit remains valid after program completion. If you finish earlier, check IRCC rules and speak with ISVS before assuming you can remain in Canada until the printed expiry date.

Do not change to part-time status, withdraw from courses, or take a leave without checking immigration consequences.

No. A study permit authorizes study in Canada. A temporary resident visa or electronic travel authorization (eTA) is a travel document that helps you enter Canada. Some students need both a valid study permit and a valid entry document. Check IRCC rules for your passport country before leaving Canada and before re-entering.

Start planning early because family members may need their own visitor, study, or work documents, and you may need additional proof of funds, relationship documents, housing planning, school or childcare planning, and health-insurance planning. Some spouses or common-law partners of international students may be eligible for an open work permit, but eligibility is limited by current IRCC rules and your program type, so check IRCC and speak with ISVS before making work or travel assumptions.

A SIN is a nine-digit number issued by Service Canada. You need it to work in Canada and to access some government programs or benefits. Treat it like sensitive personal information: do not put it in resumes, rental applications, social media messages, or casual emails.

Sources Social Insurance Number - Service Canada

Apply through Service Canada online, by mail, or in person. You generally need valid identity and immigration documents. Temporary residents normally need a work permit or a study permit that states they may work or may accept employment. UAlberta welcome programming may also point you to term-specific SIN information.

Sources Social Insurance Number - Service Canada

No. IRCC states that students can only start working in Canada once their study program has started. Even if your permit allows work, do not begin work before your program start date.

Sources Work off campus - IRCC

IRCC currently states that eligible students may work up to 24 hours per week off campus during regular academic terms. Exceeding the limit can violate study-permit conditions and affect future applications. Because this number has changed in recent years, always verify the current IRCC page before relying on it.

Sources Work off campus - IRCC

Eligible students may generally work full time during regularly scheduled breaks, such as winter or summer breaks, if they meet IRCC conditions before and after the break. Students on unauthorized leave, not studying full time when required, or between schools may have different restrictions.

Do not work and do not apply for a SIN until the permit conditions are fixed. IRCC says students whose permits are missing work conditions may need to request an amendment before they can obtain a SIN and work. Contact ISVS if you are unsure.

IRCC announced that, as of April 1, 2026, eligible post-secondary international students no longer need a separate work permit for required student work placements such as co-ops or internships when the employer is approved by the designated learning institution.

Yes. UAlberta states that international students must have basic health insurance. Depending on your immigration status, length of stay, age, and residency situation, you may be covered through the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or through UAHIP. Do not assume you are covered until you confirm your status.

Sources Health insurance - UAlberta AHCIP - Study Alberta

No. Students often say “register for AHS,” but the public health insurance plan is AHCIP, administered through Alberta Health. Alberta Health Services (AHS) operates health services such as hospitals and Health Link 811. For insurance registration, look for AHCIP instructions.

Sources AHCIP - Study Alberta

Study Alberta says international students with a valid study permit and at least a one-year stay in Alberta may be eligible. It also gives examples for students with 12-month permits and some 3-to-12 month permits who intend to live in Alberta for at least 12 months. Apply promptly after arriving and confirm eligibility with Alberta Health if your documents or dates are unusual.

UAHIP is the University of Alberta Health Insurance Plan for international students, employees, and families in Canada who are not eligible for provincial coverage. It is intended as basic health coverage when AHCIP is not available.

The UASU Health and Dental Plan is extended coverage for undergraduate students. It helps cover services that basic provincial or UAHIP coverage does not normally cover, such as some prescription, dental, vision, and paramedical services. You generally need basic health coverage (AHCIP, another provincial plan, or UAHIP) to use the extended plan.

The GSA Health and Dental Plan is extended coverage for eligible graduate students. It is separate from basic AHCIP or UAHIP and can include additional health, dental, vision, and travel benefits.
