SAIT partners with BorderPass to streamline study permit processing for international students

The Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) is working with BorderPass to make it easier for international students to navigate the study permit process with a new partnership.

This partnership will enable new international students at SAIT to access a trusted online platform that will offer complementary services to those provided by SAIT's International Centre.

The primary goal of this partnership is to support international students from the time they arrive in Canada to beyond their graduation from SAIT.

In other words, this partnership will facilitate a platform that assists students on their entire journey to SAIT and beyond, from the time they receive their letter of acceptance to when they seek out post-graduation employment.

Using tools and resources designed to help track study permit progress, assist them with visa applications, and provide them access to early planning tools for settlement, new international students will receive access to a variety of helpful BorderPass services while actively enrolled at SAIT.
