Years

When I first came to Canada, I found it difficult to adjust. Lifestyle changes, though drastic, turned out to be manageable. What was harder was dealing with the loneliness, the low self-esteem, and the feeling of not belonging. At ISMC, I felt welcomed and recognized."

Charlie, China

The volunteers at ISMC were very welcoming. They treated us like part of their own family, and they stood with us in the best possible way, whenever we needed them."

Rasesh, India

The ISMC volunteers and organizers made an effort to create a space that felt safe, encouraging, and open—whether we were enjoying a meal together, playing board games, going on outdoor trips, or engaging in deeper conversations about life and spirituality."

Naya, Mauritius

The ISMC team welcomed us into many events to immerse us in Canadian culture. All of my strongest friends were born through some connection that occurred during an ISMC activity. I am so grateful for all the support we have received as international students from ISMC."

Karen, Ecuador

I used to pray for friendships and connections every day and I have those connections and community now and I’m so super grateful for that."
