Season 10 Episode 20: From Study Permit to Life as an International Student at UCalgary (Season Finale with Prithul)

Welcome to Season 10 of Choose UCalgary, the University of Calgary's prospective student podcast. The Choose UCalgary Podcast is intended for any prospective student who is hoping to learn more about the University of Calgary. We will chat with key representatives from the UCalgary community to help keep you updated and informed on all things UCalgary. Tune in for the final episode of Season 10 as Prithul brings things full circle—reflecting on his own experience as an international student while sitting down with Bree Carney, Manager of the International Student Recruitment team, and Lien Tran, Manager of the International Student Services team — known to our students as ISS. Together, they chat through the study permit process and how ISS supports students from the very beginning of their UCalgary journey through to graduation. They also highlight how students can access career support, including connections to international specialists in CCPD for students looking to gain work experience in Canada while studying. If you’re an international student like Prithul, this episode is your introduction to one of the most important support systems on campus—your go-to home base and first stop for guidance, resources, and community.
