dc.description.abstractExisting research on international students studying and working overseas mainly focuses on international students’ academic adaption and personal adaption in a host country, but only a few studies have paid attention to Chinese international students’ study-to-work transition in Canada. This transition includes three phases: Preparing for work prior to arriving in the host country, preparing for securing employment while studying in host country, and searching for a full-time job in the host country after graduation. Research indicates that several factors may influence the transition from study to work among Chinese students in Canada, including interdependence, valuing academic knowledge, parental influence, professional and personal relationships, the degree of language proficiency, and employers’ attitudes. This project reviews published literature on both the issues and advantages that these factors may bring to Chinese students’ study-to-work transition in Canada. In the second part of the project, suggestions are proposed on how Chinese international students might better prepare themselves to secure employment after graduation and what career services Canadian institutions could offer to Chinese students intending to seek a career in Canada after graduation.en_US
