Creating a clearer starting point for students
Before students arrive on campus, they need to complete one of the most important steps in their journey: the study permit application.
BorderPass helps students understand what is required, gather the right documents, and complete their applications through a guided platform built for accuracy and consistency.
For students, that means a more organized experience with access to licensed legal support at an affordable rate. For Trent, it means a more standardized way for applications to be prepared, supported, and fully compliant.
At Trent, we want every international student to feel part of our community before they arrive in Canada. Through our collaboration with BorderPass, students who accept an offer of admission can access clear guidance and support from licensed Canadian immigration lawyers at no cost as they apply for a study permit. It’s one of the many ways we help students feel supported as they prepare to join us at Trent.

Built for institutional quality and compliance
As international education rules shift, learning institutions need systems that help their teams support large incoming cohorts while holding quality steady across the immigration process.
BorderPass gives institutional teams tools to track student progress, work from better application data, support compliance, and keep processes consistent across incoming student applications.
This helps institutions strengthen the way support is delivered before students begin their studies in Canada.
How BorderPass supports Trent’s incoming international students
Trent University welcomes students from around the world into a close-knit academic community across its campuses in Peterborough and Durham.
Through this collaboration, incoming international students gain step-by-step guidance paired with licensed legal support, so the process is clearer from the first step. Every file prepared through BorderPass is reviewed by a licensed lawyer.
BorderPass was built to support people who want to study and work in Canada, along with the institutions that stand behind them. We are glad to be working with Trent University to give incoming international students a clearer path through the study permit process.
