Hosting international colleagues, researchers, expert knowledge holders, students or visitors to your department, lab, or office requires advance planning and must include immigration considerations. There can be a variety of negative repercussions if there are errors or omissions in the process. This session will guide participants on where to seek assistance. We will provide an overview of the Canadian immigration system, offer information on ways to invite and host international collaborators, and answer general questions about immigration processes and options.

Please note: A registration confirmation email will be sent only to the person registering; however, all registered attendees will receive the meeting link and a day or two prior to the session. The session will not be recorded and the slides will not be shared.
