• Fairness for International Students Public Survey

  • The Fairness for International Students Public Survey is hosted by the Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario. The Federation is the largest and oldest student organization in Canada. Through its student unions, the Federation brings post-secondary students across the country and province together to fight for free education and advocate for students' rights.

    The objective of this survey is to collect the experiences, struggles and priorities of International Students in Ontario. The results from this survey will inform the work of the Federation, such as campaigns, materials and strategies.
