Abstract

The goal of this study is to examine the problems that international postgraduate students in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) encountered before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study discovered that these students faced significant obstacles, like monetary hardships, language barriers, and mental health issues, even before the pandemic. These problems were made worse by the pandemic, which also brought about fresh ones like elevated stress levels and worries about mental health. According to the research, GTA universities should offer more extensive support services to help international postgraduate students overcome their particular difficulties. Implications of this study include enhancing the overall academic and social experience of foreign postgraduate students in Canada.
