Facilitating Student Integration
The Buddy program pairs new international students with current students who provide the friendly face, helping hand, and first Montreal friendship that can make a world of difference for new arrivals. Buddies can also offer linguistic support, cultural guidance and information about life at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥. Now in its 27th year, the Buddy Program has helped thousands of international students - more than 900 last year - settle into ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ and Montreal.
