'One on One' Friendship Partners
“One international student matched with one Canadian volunteer”.
A friendship partner is there to be your friend and to answer your questions about Canadian culture, English language and more; they help you navigate new foods, different weather, etc.
One on One Friendship Partners are available online or face to face.
What students have said:
“My friendship partner gave me confidence to connect with Canadians”
“My friendship partner made me miss my family back home less.”
