International Mentorship Program
The International Mentorship Program pairs new international students with continuing students to provide support as they transition to life in Canada and RDP.
New international students ("Mentees") will be paired with continuing RDP students ("Mentors") based on similar programs and/or interests.

Mentors will be selected based on availability, fit and commitment to the program.
