Hi.<\/p>\n

I’m an international student at uoft. I finished two semesters. In first sem I failed 2 courses and was told by my graduate coordinator that I’ll be expelled if I fail one more course. But in second semester I ended up failing one course. Will I be expelled?? Is there a rule that permits that?<\/p>\n

Being an international student, is there anyway I can drop out and get a job in Canada? I have a complete masters with distinction from India.<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

without much context about your program or academic history, it’s hard for me to predict how your academic standing will be affected. however, it’s definitely possible for you to face consequences for failing a course (or courses) in graduate school.<\/p>\n

the School of Graduate Studies states that “[i]f a student fails to complete a graduate course in a satisfactory manner (i.e., receives a grade report of FZ or NCR in a course or receives a grade report below the minimum acceptable by the graduate unit), then the graduate unit in which the student is registered may recommend to the School of Graduate Studies the termination of registration and eligibility of that student.<\/a>”<\/p>\n

so right off the bat, i’d say the school does permit it. HOWEVER, i’d recommend you talk to a student services officer <\/a>ASAP to see if there’s anything you can do to avoid it.<\/p>\n

if you have the appropriate work permit<\/a>, it’s possible for you to work in Canada (speak to someone at CIE<\/a> if you have any questions about work permits).<\/p>\n

however, i have no idea how easy it will be for you to get a job. that all depends on what your master’s degree from India is in, and on what kind of job you’re looking for.<\/p>\n

it’s hard for everyone to land a job these days, and what’s even harder is to land one with a liveable salary. but it’s possible, if you do everything right and you’re lucky. if you need help with the job search, you can always find it at the career centre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

a lot of this is way over my head, to be honest. i’d really recommend that you talk to a student services officer at the school of graduate studies about next steps, whether you want to try to stay on at school or start looking for a job.<\/p>\n

all the best,<\/p>\n
