Maple News reports that the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) has announced a new partnership with BorderPass, aiming to simplify and support the immigration journey of international students from pre-arrival to post-graduation. BorderPass, a digital immigration platform guided by Canadian immigration lawyers, will now offer tailored assistance to SAIT students navigating Canada’s study permit and immigration processes.
Through this collaboration, SAIT’s international students will gain access to an integrated suite of digital services via BorderPass, complementing the resources already available at SAIT’s International Centre. These services include step-by-step study permit application support, legal consultations, visa management, and access to early settlement planning tools.
Key benefits of this partnership include real-time notifications about application deadlines, document tracking support through a secure Document Vault, one-on-one consultations with legal experts, and insights on permanent residency and post-graduate employment options.
The platform also offers practical newcomer services such as Social Insurance Number (SIN) registration, high-level tax advice, and referral support through a vetted network of service providers, making the transition to life and studies in Canada more seamless and secure.
SAIT, a Calgary-based leading institution in applied education since 1916, is recognized globally for its excellence. Notably, its School of Business was ranked 49th in CEOWORLD Magazine’s 2024 global rankings, and its School of Hospitality and Tourism secured the 14th position internationally. SAIT consistently appears among Canada’s top 50 research colleges.
With nearly 40,000 students enrolled annually, SAIT offers a wide range of educational credentials, including diplomas, certificates, apprenticeships, applied and baccalaureate degrees, and corporate training. The institution’s focus on industry-aligned curriculum and research ensures graduates are equipped with in-demand job skills for both Canadian and global workplaces.
BorderPass, known for its transparency, legal rigor, and fraud protection capabilities, brings a unique value to this partnership, giving students peace of mind—and a legal edge—as they pursue academic and professional goals in Canada.
This initiative represents another step forward in creating a more accessible, streamlined experience for international students choosing Canada as their destination for higher education.
