Sarah Wayland presented the findings from the study, Growing Impact: Post-Secondary International Students in Toronto, commissioned by ICE.

Shruti Paul shared her experience as an international student in Toronto, and Kimberly Bates provided insights from the university sector. Virginia Macchiavello gave the college sector perspective.
