I was an international student at the University of Manitoba from 1981 to 1989, where I completed MA in Political Studies in 1983 and PhD in Anthropology in 1992. In this short piece, I provide glimpses of my experience in Winnipeg as a student during those years. I recall life on the campus, which was full of excitement due to the exposure to new academic ideas and challenges both in and outside the classrooms. The Bangladeshi community was very small at that time, perhaps about 20 families. So, we knew each other well.

The Journey

I arrived in Winnipeg in June 1981 on a student visa. In those days, international students were outside the domain of Canada’s targeted annual immigration plan. They were required to renew their visa annually. Today, however, in view of Canada’s skilled immigration policy, international students can work, and change status from ‘student visa’ to ‘immigrant’ even during their study period. My own experience, however, tells a different story.  My work with immigrants has convinced me that each migrant’s narrative is unique, individualized, and original, and provides a different storyline. I am currently working on my memoir that describes the journey in detail. The journey transformed me as an academic and a feminist.
