Aguirre explained that Toronto Film School’s international student orientation is a special event hosted specifically for students coming to school in Toronto from out of the country. The event focuses on topics relevant to students who moved from another country and don’t know how to navigate the Canadian systems. Among the topics covered were:

  • Health Insurance and how the Canadian health care system works for international students:
  • Accommodations: info and tips for renting in Toronto
  • Laws in Canada
  • Intercultural communications
  • How to get the basics: cell phone, bank account and the internet
  • Cost of living in Toronto
  • Who can help them at Toronto Film School
  • And much more

These international student orientation events are run at the beginning of every term as a way of providing extra support to international students at Toronto Film School.
