Hear what our students have to say
I found Passage through a family friend who introduced me to the opportunity. What stood out was their comprehensive support beyond just financial aid. They helped with school selection, immigration process, and settlement. They maintain regular check-ins and provide community integration support.
My advice to others: Feel confident in applying with Passage. It's the most reliable way to succeed in Canada as an international student. Your living costs and tuition will be covered, allowing you to focus on studies first rather than immediately working to pay back your family. I'm grateful to Passage for this life-changing opportunity. There's no way to fully thank them - it's just amazing.
