Travelling to Canada webpage
UVic has been approved as a Designated Learning Institution that can receive international students with new study permits, however there’s a lot to consider before making plans to travel to Canada. Up-to-date information about travelling to Canada and self-isolation is available on a new web resource we’ve created for our partners.

The Business Management area is looking forward to supporting our agents with a new and improved agent training process in 2021. Our goal is to create better processes that enable our valued partners to have greater success. We are also looking to modernize our CBA and DBA programs by adding new program outcomes and elective courses. Finally, we will be launching a number of new micro-credential professional development certificates. Look forward to an exciting year ahead as we evolve our offerings.

In 2021 I am looking forward to the continued growth of our online courses. We are currently working on a new program for summer that students can take along with English for Global Communication. This will allow students to complete 60 course hours, which will help many of them gain transfer credits at their home universities. Later in 2021, I am looking forward to having our international students back on campus. I miss the noise and excitement students bring to our building. There is nothing quite so wonderful as coming back to the office after a meeting across campus to hear loud karaoke on a Friday afternoon, with students from all over the world singing and dancing together. It is such a privilege working in international education and being able to see “world peace” in action on a daily basis!

For those of us working in education, 2020 was a year of challenges but also one of opportunities as we looked for new ways to engage our learners and maintain meaningful connections with our international partners. In 2021, the International Education team looks forward to launching our new Professional Development Certificate (PDC) in Online Pedagogy and Internationalization. Designed to meet the needs of international post-secondary educators and administrators, this online program provides participants with the knowledge and skills needed to develop a quality online learning experience for students, and how to internationalize online practices, curriculum, and teaching to support diverse learning communities.

As we begin 2021, with vaccination programs in Canada and elsewhere in the world well underway, many people discuss the desire to return to normal but I’d rather see us adapt to these changing times as we are evolving, learning, and growing. In my area of Health, we have taken this time to create new opportunities by developing and revising online programs to ensure we are supporting our global health professionals in their continuing learning. One of these new programs is Emergency Management for Organizational Continuity, which was inspired in part by the pandemic, and will serve as a proactive emergency management resource for a variety of organizations.
