A significant body of literature exists related to the experience of international student integration socially and academically at post-secondary institutions worldwide, but only a limited number of studies look at the experience of international students from India, specifically those studying in Canada. This is a study of international students from India at Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada, and explains the initial challenges they encountered, the services they felt were important to them, the challenges that remained after their first semester, how they coped, and the strategies they used to persist. Study results revealed that students' primary initial challenges included (1) housing, (2) weather, (3) financial difficulties, and (4) transportation from the airport, while later challenges centered on (1) financial difficulties (2) loneliness, and (3) transportation services. The study also revealed that English language comprehension affected their integration socially and their overall experience in acclimatization.
