    York University joins BorderPass’ growing network of institutional partners

    As Canada’s study permit process continues to change, institutions need stronger ways to support international students before they arrive.

    BorderPass is proud to partner with York University as it joins a growing network of more than 40 designated learning institutions using BorderPass to support international student immigration. Through this partnership, incoming York students can use BorderPass for guided study permit application support, including document guidance, legal review, and support built around today’s immigration requirements.

    For institutions, BorderPass helps improve application quality, increase visibility into student progress, and give international teams better tools to support students from the start.

    Strengthening the process for incoming students

    For international students, the immigration process is one of the first and most important steps before beginning their studies in Canada.

    BorderPass helps simplify this process by guiding students through key requirements, supporting document collection, and helping ensure applications are prepared with accuracy and consistency.

    The platform combines automated workflows with licensed Canadian lawyers, giving students a more reliable way to complete their applications while helping institutions maintain quality across the process.

    Immigration infrastructure for institutions

    BorderPass helps equip institutions with infrastructure that supports both students and internal teams. Through the platform, institutions can access tools that help standardize how applications are filed, improve visibility across student progress, support compliance, and create a more consistent immigration experience for incoming students. This gives institutional teams better data, clearer processes, and stronger systems to support students before they arrive in Canada.

    Supporting York's global student community

    York University welcomes students from around the world across a wide range of programs and disciplines.

    This partnership strengthens the support available to incoming international students by giving them access to a guided immigration application experience backed by legal expertise and built for institutional quality standards.

    “International education in Canada is entering a more demanding environment for students and institutions,” said Sally Daub, Co-Founder of BorderPass. “We’re proud to support York University with the guidance and tools students need before they arrive.”

    Building a more reliable path to Canada

    This partnership reflects BorderPass' broader mission to make immigration support more accessible, structured, and scalable for students and the institutions that support them.

    By combining technology, legal expertise, and institutional tools, BorderPass helps create a more reliable path for incoming students as they take the first step toward studying in Canada.
