Abstract
Graduates, including both masters and PhD students, from East Asia have become an increasingly significant body within the student population at Canadian universities. Coming from different cultural backgrounds and education systems, such students should be better engaged in the context of studying in Canada is extremely important. Several studies have explored the differences between international graduate students from East Asia and domestic students on Canadian campuses, with topics spanning from comparative education to English as a foreign language (EFL). However, few have investigated the challenges international graduate students face in maintaining academic integrity, a major issue affecting international students’ academic performances. This study will scrutinize the nuances in academic plagiarism understanding through one-on-one interviews with five new international graduate students at a Canadian university, with the aim to offer an audit for the resources provided by Canadian universities and help international students meet academic standards appropriately. Keywords: academic plagiarism, graduate education, international students, East Asia, Canadian universities, education policy
