Welcome home
More than a school, Mohawk College is a great place to call home.
Having traveled to all 7 continents, I’ve had the good
fortune to learn from the people and cultures in 68
countries. As Mohawk welcomes students from around
world, I appreciate the chance to bring our cultures
together. With our college programs in Healthcare,
Technology, Business and more, students from over
70 countries have found Mohawk to be a welcoming
international community and a great place
to learn and live.
At Mohawk we celebrate cultures through our students,
faculty and staff. With an appreciation for diversity, we've
created a unique international community. Our new
programs, delivered through the Language & Culture
Centre, allow us to adapt to new ways of learning while
welcoming multiple perspectives, experiences and skills.
We look forward to learning more about your culture

Mohawk College’s catalogue of more than 125 programs allows students to choose from a wide range
of options, from studying the latest in aircraft technology to understanding the beating of the human
heart to learning what it takes to start a new business.
As important as the programs we offer, is how they’re offered. At Mohawk education starts in the
classroom, but preparation for the working world continues through hands-on learning in laboratories
and simulated work environments, through applied research projects, and on co-operative work
placements (often paid positions). The opportunity to combine a college diploma with a university
degree, or to earn both credentials simultaneously, is made possible through the partnership between
Mohawk College and McMaster University. For information on all your options, visit our calendar at

We are here for you
Language & Culture Centre
International Student Services supports you
from your airport arrival to graduation.
An exciting facet of the services available to international students at Mohawk is our new
Language & Culture Centre (LCC). In the LCC we offer a range of services and programs to
support students as they adjust to life at a new school and in a new country. IELTS Testing as
well as courses in English and Culture, for academics or business, are all part of the offering.
We know that crossing oceans and borders to get
to school is a giant step for any student. At Mohawk,
our International Student Services staff are experts at
helping students get settled. We offer support from
arrival right through graduation.
Just some of the ways we’ll make sure
you feel welcome.
Airport pick-up: Mohawk is a short drive from
Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Students
can request to be met upon arrival and will be
assisted with luggage and transportation directly
to a residence or other accommodation.
Accommodation – Where to live: There are three
accommodation options available to International
Students at Mohawk.
• Homestay – offering the opportunity to live
with a Canadian family during your studies
• Mohawk Residence – comfortable and
affordable on-campus living
• Off-Campus Housing – your own place in a nearby
neighbourhood with easy access to campus
Connect with a Student Mentor: Before arrival
in Canada, students can request to be paired with an
International Student Mentor, from the same country
when possible. These international student volunteers
have spent at least one full semester at Mohawk and
can help with all kinds of information on what to pack,
what life is like in Canada and the Mohawk student
experience. Feeling at home in a new country can take
time, but it’s great to have a friend to help make the
transition a smooth one. Meet Mohawk’s Mentors at
