Global Peer Advisors Lending Support (PALS) Program

Global Peer Advisors are upper year and graduate-level international Ravens who are here to support you! They lend support to international students who have questions or want extra guidance on social and cultural topics during their studies at Carleton.

Through the Global PALS program, you can gain support and guidance on:

Life in Ottawa
Making friends
Getting involved on campus
Carleton resources and student supports
Canadian culture
And more!

International students can have questions at any time in their university journey. As a result, the Global PALS program is open to all Carleton international students. This includes current undergraduate and graduate students, as well as incoming and exchange students.

Please be advised that the Global Peer Advisor program has wrapped up for the Fall 2021 term. New registrants will be contacted by their Global Peer Advisor after January 10.
