Faculty Recruitment

Are you a non-Canadian who has been offered a faculty appointment at Queen's University?

To start your new appointment you must first obtain the appropriate official documentation to enter Canada and work at Queen's University.

Determine what questions you should consider as you prepare to start your appointment at Queen's:

• Where can you apply? (At the border or at a Canadian visa office in your country of origin or residence?)
• What documentation is required for your particular situation (requirements can vary significantly depending on your country of origin)
• Will you need a medical?
• Where can you find out if you might be inadmissible to Canada?

Review the weblinks to the Citizenship and Immigration website that will help you answer these questions under First Steps to Immigration.

Carefully read and follow all documentation you receive from Queen's and Citizenship and Immigration Canada. If you have questions about starting at Queen's, contact the Faculty Recruitment and Support Program.

As per your letter of appointment, it is your responsibility to maintain your immigration status by initiating, as soon as possible after taking up your appointment, an application for Permanent Resident status.
