(SRP) is supported by local committees (WUSC) (composed of university and college students and (CEGEP), staff and faculty) at universities throughout Canada. Through its agreements with the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec (Canadian Province), the (WUSC) program allows students who are supported through the program to enter Canada as permanent residents.

Funding

Volunteer members of the WUSC committees arrange financial and social support for each sponsored student during their first year of study in Canada. Financial assistance is provided “in kind” – such as reduced or free tuition and accommodation fees – plus a very small sum of money to buy basic necessities. Sponsored students do not receive cash to study.
