Hi everyone,

I’m an international student from Mexico moving to Canada in September 2026 to start a two-year master’s degree. I’ll be living in university residence during my studies.

I’m currently filling out the 2026 TD1, and I’m a bit confused about whether I should be considered a resident of Canada for tax purposes once I move to Canada. I’ll be arriving in September, so I’ll spend less than 183 days in Canada in 2026, but I’ll be living in Canada for my master’s, renting a room in university residence and opening a bank account.

Would I be considered a Canadian tax resident from the date I move to Canada?

Hi everyone,

I'm an incoming international student. Can I use my foreign passport as the government-issued photo ID to get my SFU ID card, or is a Canadian ID required?

Hi everyone.

I'm currently #9 on the Hamilton Hall waitlist (Fall 2026).

Does anyone know if I have a realistic chance of getting a room?

Hi everyone!

Has anyone heard back about Graduate Entrance Scholarships?

I applied for a few of them, and the information said applicants would be notified in June. However, I still haven't received any update

I’m an incoming master’s student. My enrollment date is July 6, but it doesn't specify a time.

Does anyone know what time enrollment opens?
