QUANTITATIVE OR QUALITATIVE METHODS. QUANTITATIVE METHODS.

SAMPLE STRATEGY AND DATA COLLECTION. SAMPLE STRATEGY.

HYPOTHESIS AND VARIABLES. HYPOTHESIS. International students face significant challenges related to cultural adaptation, academic workload, financial constraints, and social integration..

PRIMARY HYPOTHESIS H0 (NULL HYPOTHESIS): THERE ARE NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN THE CHALLENGES FACED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ACROSS DIFFERENT CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS IN CANADA. THIS HYPOTHESIS SUGGESTS THAT FACTORS SUCH AS CULTURAL DIVERSITY, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION DO NOT SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THE EXPERIENCES OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. H1 (ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS): SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES EXIST IN THE CHALLENGES FACED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS ACROSS DIFFERENT CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS IN CANADA. THIS HYPOTHESIS PROPOSES THAT CULTURAL DIVERSITY, LANGUAGE BARRIERS, AND SOCIAL INTEGRATION SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE THE EXPERIENCES AND CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED BY INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. SECONDARY HYPOTHESIS H0 (NUL HYPOTHESIS): LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY DOES NOT SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT THE OVERALL WELL-BEING AND MENTAL HEALTH OF INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN CANADA. THIS HYPOTHESIS SUGGESTS THAT LANGUAGE BARRIERS AND PROFICIENCY LEVELS DO NOT HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON MENTAL HEALTH OUTCOMES SUCH AS STRESS, ANXIETY, AND DEPRESSION. H1 (ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS): INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WITH HIGHER LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY EXPERIENCE BETTER MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OUTCOMES. THIS HYPOTHESIS PROPOSES THAT LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN REDUCING STRESS AND ENHANCING OVERALL WELL-BEING AMONG INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS..

Statistical Test: Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and regression modeling to examine relationships between variables and identify predictors of student difficulties. These statistical tests will provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing international student’s experiences in Canada..

LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE RESEARCH. LIMITATIONS. Potential biases in self-reporting, limited generalizability due to sample size, and challenges in accessing a diverse participant pool..
