This project aims to gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of International Students (IS) at Toronto Metropolitan University during the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores IS’ social, cultural, health, financial, and academic needs, as well as their perceptions, perspectives, and personal narratives around integration and inclusivity. Our team has interviewed 21 IS from diverse academic and ethno-cultural backgrounds, 14 of whom contributed their Photovoice to this online exhibition. This report aims to make action-oriented recommendations that address the following pillars: daily needs, social adjustment, career trajectory, health and wellness, and academic life and aims to support and enhance inclusive IS experiences.
