Welcome New Students
We are so happy you have chosen to study at Ӱɴý (St. John's Campus). Our team of advisors and student staff are here to help whether you need arrival information, or just a friendly chat. We can talk to you about arrivals, off-campus housing, health insurance, career options, immigration procedures and settling in to your campus life.
International students are an integral part of Ӱɴý University. The Internationalization Office (IO) is here to welcome you and provide support throughout your student journey at Ӱɴý. Whether you have questions or just want to say hello, our advisors are happy to chat with you. The International Student Advisors are available 9:00am – 4:00pm Monday – Friday (summer hours, closed 1 - 2 p.m.). You can also email your questions to the advisors at international@mun.ca.
Arrivals Form
The Arrivals Form for the Spring 2026 semester is now closed. If you have already arrived for the Spring 2026 semester and have not yet been in contact with the Internationalization Office, please email arrivals@mun.ca for any remaining arrival‑related support.
– Fall 2026 Students
Our Arrivals Team will be here to support you as you prepare for the Fall 2026 semester. Arrivals support for Fall 2026 will begin later in the summer. In the meantime, you may find it helpful to review the pre‑arrival resources available here.
Beginning in July, students will be invited to complete the Arrivals Form, and we’ll start sharing additional information related to travel, arrival, and on‑campus supports. Please check back later in the summer for updates.

SIN & MCP Clinics at IO
Representatives from Service Canada and the MCP Office are on site each semester to help students get set up, alongside the immigration advisors from the Internationalization Office to connect with new international students.
The SIN/MCP Clinics for the Spring 2026 intake have now concluded. We extend our appreciation to the representatives from Service Canada and the MCP Office for providing on‑site support, and to all students who participated. These clinics helped many new students apply for their Social Insurance Number (SIN), Medical Care Plan (MCP), and access other essential services during their arrival period.
We look forward to continuing to assist future incoming students. Information about any upcoming clinics or service sessions will be shared once details are confirmed.
