International Centre for Students

The International Centre for Students (ICS) provides support for ALL University of Manitoba students.

We offer programs and services to help international students before and after their arrival to ease their transition to Canada and ensure their experience is enjoyable, safe, and successful.

The ICS office also provides programs and resources for internationally-minded students looking for opportunities both inside and outside of Canada.

• Our Student Exchange Programs make studying abroad affordable and accessible. 
• The World W.I.S.E. Resource Centre can help students plan for work, study, or travel throughout the world.

Through the ICS office, all University of Manitoba students have the opportunity to internationalize their education and gain cross-cultural experiences without leaving Winnipeg.  Our office also serves the larger university community by providing support and assistance to staff and faculty.
