Why it exists
Answers to urgent questions were spread across dozens of university and government pages. This site puts them in one place, in the order you are likely to need them.

What this site is
One place for the questions that used to take a dozen tabs.
The International Student Hub gathers public University of Alberta information into one place for international students: immigration, money, health, housing, work and study. It is independent, and it is not a university service.
How it works
Four things worth knowing
How to find things
Search for a question, open one of the eight directories, or follow the journey by stage, from before you fly to after you graduate.
Official sources have the final word
Every page links to the office or government page it came from, with the date it was last checked. When a decision carries real consequences, confirm it there.
What stays up to date
Announcements and events are posted by university staff, and research positions by faculty. Each one is reviewed before it goes live and comes down on its own when its date passes.
Who built it
Not a team, and not a university department.
One student, and a great many hours. Every resource on this site was found the slow way: the office that turns out to be the wrong office, the page that moved without leaving a forwarding address, the answer that only surfaces after the third person you ask.
That searching is the actual work, and it is the part nobody should have to do twice. What took hours to track down is collected here so that it takes you a minute.
