Status Letters for International Students

International Student Support (ISS) provides letters for international students in support of their varying administrative needs and immigration responsibilities.  With extensive knowledge and expertise on immigration compliance, legal and special issues affecting international students, ISS provides Status Letters that are effective in supporting international students’ unique situations.

Status Letters are prepared for varying purposes including study permit, work permits, temporary resident visa, spouse/family immigration applications, and much more.

Full-time enrolment definition for immigration purposes

To be considered an international full-time undergraduate student, you must be enrolled in a full-time program in three or more billing units (typically three or more courses) each term.

International graduate students admitted to a full-time program are considered full-time so long as they remain enrolled in each semester of their program. All graduate students must be enrolled in GD 1000 or GD 1001. 

All status letters processed by ISS will contain Toronto Metropolitan University's Designated Learning Institution number (O19395677651).

To request a status letter:

  1. You will need to log into your MyServiceHub.
  2. Click on 'eForms Centre' in the bottom right corner of your Student Homepage and proceed to select 'International - Status Letter'.
  3. You will be required to make a payment of $20 per letter.

Note: Status letter requests are non-refundable. Please connect with ISS (issask@torontomu.ca) prior to requesting multiple letters to avoid unnecessary fees.
