Each year approximately 400 international students graduate each year from the University of Calgary. Most of these students return to their countries of origin to seek employment. One of the main reasons for students return home is their immediate need for revenue, and the difficult process of acquiring Permanent Residency status/a work VISA.
The Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) in collaboration with Dr. Eva Klein of the Haskayne School of Business and the University of Calgary want to understand the rationale for students returning home and provide these students opportunities to connect with Canadian industry. To do so we are holding an annual one-day conference/workshop in early March, with the primary goal being to get foreign graduate students in front of employers, and help them stay in Canada as immigrants.
Cost: $20 for students (GST included)
