Students Passage brought to Canada
Verbatim, from the people who lived it — funded by Passage, now studying and working across Canada.
“Passage supported me from financing my studies to staying in touch throughout school and helping me secure job offers. They even connected me with an immigration consultant to plan my next steps. They truly go beyond what I expected.”
🇳🇬“Alongside my studies, I am working part-time as a Nurse Assistant at one of Toronto's hospitals. The work I do reminds me every day of the true meaning of humanity — offering compassion, understanding, and support when people need it most.”
🇦🇫“I found Passage's transparency valuable, particularly for where I'm coming from. They are always forthcoming with information, and when they don't have an answer, they connect you with someone who does. They treat you as an individual rather than just another statistic.”
🇬🇭“Passage is not only providing us with financial support, but they guide us with employment opportunities. They help create our resumes and do mock interviews. It's the best platform for international students.”
🇧🇹“Passage supported me from application all the way through graduation. They guided me through resumes for part-time jobs so I could contribute to my financial stability — and I secured an on-campus job position in big part due to Passage's guidance.”
🇨🇴“Passage walked me through every step of the process and never made me feel alone. Whenever I had questions or worries, they were always there to guide me and tell me what to do. That support gave me confidence throughout my journey.”
