Simon Fraser University

Simon Fraser University, established in 1965, is one of Canada's top comprehensive universities and a member of the U15 research group. Spread across three campuses in Metro Vancouver, SFU is renowned for its co-operative education program — one of the largest in North America — which places students in paid industry roles with companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Hootsuite. The Burnaby Mountain campus is an architectural landmark, designed by Arthur Erickson, perched above Metro Vancouver with panoramic views. SFU's proximity to Vancouver's growing technology sector, combined with British Columbia's Express Entry pathways, makes it a practical choice for international students targeting Canadian permanent residency.
