A recently-released research project out of the University of Guelph [CIEC Academic Member] and York University examines the experiences of international students transitioning to the Canadian labour market and identifies a number of barriers these students must overcome in order to integrate into employment. The researchers framed the study around the new International Education Strategy, which aims to double the number of international students studying in Canada, and Ontario’s focus on international students as potentially filling labour gaps. The study found that difficulties finding work in one’s field of study, prejudice against international students, and “inconsistency of information and lack of clarity on constantly changing immigration policies and processes” were some of the barriers experienced by international students. The study also found that the respondents viewed the educational experience at Ontario’s PSE institutions very highly, and often found support and employment within the PSE sector after graduation. The report makes several recommendations for PSE, policy makers, and employers to help ease the transition for international students, including creating more internships and co-op employment opportunities.

Located in Guelph, Ontario, the University of Guelph was founded in 1964 combining the Ontario Veterinary College, Ontario Agricultural College, and the MacDonald Institute. In 2002, a university-college partnership was arranged with Humber College and opened on their North Campus in Toronto, Ontario.

The University has grown to serve more than 21,000 students and staff members and offers more than 94 undergraduate, 48 graduate, and 6 associate degrees across a variety of disciplines.

Due to its origins in agriculture and veterinary science, students are particularly attracted to these two areas of study.

“The University of Guelph has also been ranked 50 among the top 100 universities under 50 years old by Times Higher Education.”
