Several Canadian universities have begun offering accommodations to applicants and students impacted by the war in Iran. CBC reports that application and payment timelines have been extended at the University of Victoria, Queen’s University, and Carleton University. Institutions such as McGill University and Queen’s University, meanwhile, have reached out to students to inform them of mental health supports offered. University of Toronto Graduate Students’ Union President Amir Moghadam supported the initiatives provided by universities but added that emergency funding and institutional policies should be created or expanded to better deal with these situations in the future. “These situations will keep happening to different communities at different times,” Moghadam said.
