This year’s event is focused on Making Connections and developing new ways to improve the welcome experience for international students in our communities where they study, live and work.

Did you know? There are NS Works offices all over the province, and many of them offer services like this. Why not get in touch with your local office and see what they can do for your job search?

This year for Thanksgiving we encourage students to stay within the Atlantic Bubble. This can be an opportunity to create new traditions, like a Friendsgiving.... Invite the people in your bubble to join you and celebrate! We understand that traditions are important for our mental well-being, but right now traditions have to look different. This doesn’t mean you can’t still have a good time. We just ask that you adjust your Thanksgiving to be as COVID-safe as possible. Remember that self-isolation and social distancing rules are still in place. People can continue to gather in close social groups of up to 10 without physical distancing. Anyone who travels outside of the Atlantic bubble is required to self-isolate for 14 days upon their return. For more information, novascotia.ca/protect-yourself-and-others-from-coronavirus/

REMINDER: Complete your MSFAA/Identity Verification at the NSLSC website as soon as possible. We cannot release your funding until these tasks are completed. The NSLSC site will be offline for maintenance from Sept 27 to Oct 5. More: http://ow.ly/6PAk50BAn3K

SCAM ALERT: Waiting for funding? Don’t be scammed by anyone claiming to represent NSLSC/Resolve who asks you to confirm your banking info or asks for your SIN. If you have questions about your funding deposit, call them/call them back: http://ow.ly/A5y850BryF8

PROTIP: Are you returning to school for full-time study, but NOT using our funding this year? To maintain your Payment-Free/Interest-Free loan status your school must confirm you are still a full-time student. Learn how: http://ow.ly/UBor50B7m2F #Back2SchoolNS
