INTERNATIONAL STUDENT RECRUITMENT SERVICES
WORKING WITH UNIVERSITIES, COLLEGES AND HIGH SCHOOLS IN CANADA.
Dorvict Resource & Consulting Centre Inc. is an international student recruitment agency based in Canada. We represent some of Canada’s most prestigious and most affordable universities and colleges. We work with people of different educational and cultural backgrounds. Education has been recognized as a platform for the exchange of cultural, intellectual and commercial benefits between two countries. In view of this, our service is designed to achieve dual benefit to the host and visiting countries.
Dorvict is fully aware that securing a place at a Canadian university and thereafter settling quickly, safely and comfortably into life in Canada can be a difficult, time consuming and stressful activity for overseas students. In view of this, we have developed for our clients a comprehensive service that identifies the challenges of international students when planning to leave their home for a school overseas. Sometimes, regardless of the information people receive, it is more beneficial to have representatives that have “walked the walk” …experience helps!
Dorvict will aid overseas students enabling them to select suitable courses at appropriate universities, taking full account of their needs, goals, qualifications, climate concerns, finances and career aspirations. We work with recruiters who speak the language, understands the cultures and who possesses the information necessary for a smooth transition for prospective students.
We are aware that cultural differences, lack of information, language restrictions and unfamiliarity with formal Canadian processes are the primary reasons why overseas students often encounter difficulties and delays at each of the steps along the route from preparing and applying for admission to a university or college, to arriving in Canada and then settling down into student life. Dorvict offers a comprehensive and enabling range of information, support and facilitation services for overseas students. These services cover all aspects of university or college applications, Canadian living and family life. Our students are referred to an immigration specialist who takes care of their immigration requirements, documentation and submission (Third party Service). For more information on immigration services you can contact Simeon Oyelade Chambers @ simeonoyelade @gmail.com.

Services for the parents, guardians and sponsors of overseas students
Parent, Guardian and Sponsor Concern
Most parental, guardian and sponsor concerns stem from the fact that the student is away from the watchful oversight of the parent or sponsor, this separation often makes it difficult for the parent or sponsor to keep a close eye on the student’s progress and wellbeing. Therefore, parents, guardians and sponsors often complain of being in the dark regarding their student(s), a situation sometimes exacerbated by students who may feel ashamed and hence unwilling to report less than ideal academic performance. There is, however, no doubt that the best chance of rectifying any substandard academic performance or wellbeing issue is to act as soon as the problem becomes apparent.
Academic progression monitoring and reporting (with the consent of adults)
Concerns Associated with Academic Progression (with the consent of adult students)
Common parental or guardianship concerns associated with the academic progression of a student may include:
- Concern that the student’s chances of academic success are not being maximised.
- Concern that the student may be struggling with academic matters because of language difficulties.
- Concern that if something was to start going wrong in the academic process, this information would not be conveyed to the parent, guardian or sponsor as quickly as possible.
- Concern that there is no-one located close to the student who can provide them with specialist impartial advice and support on academic matters.
- Pastoral care and oversight of student wellbeing
- Emergency contact and advice services
- Summary of Services for Parents, Guardians and Sponsors
It is for the reasons outlined above that Dorvict offers services to parents, guardians and sponsors which are specifically designed to provide regularly updated reports of both the academic progress and the personal wellbeing of the student, in addition to acting as an advisory and emergency contact service. This service is very important especially to High School Students.
Our responsibility will be to keep parents or guardians fully informed of the progress that the student is making on their academic course, providing an early warning should problems begin to develop, and hence promoting parent, guardian or sponsor peace of mind.
