This quantitative study focused on undergraduate students at two mid-sized universities in Manitoba, Canada. Online and paper surveys were completed by 932 participants, of whom 21% identified as international students. This paper, descriptive in nature, outlines the sociodemographic profiles, current mental health status, psychological characteristics, and coping strategies of international students compared to domestic students in each institution. Data show that international students are more likely to report excellent mental health, score higher on the mental health scale, and report higher life satisfaction, higher self-esteem, and more positive body image than domestic respondents. However, they are less likely to talk about their hardships. Providing culturally-adapted supports that take into consideration ethnolinguistic differences, religious practice, and mental health literacy will better meet the needs of international students on campus.  \nKeywords: international students, undergraduate, mental health, support services, ethnolinguistic diversity  \nRésumé  \nLes étudiants internationaux sont à risque de détresse psychologique; or, peu de recherches portent sur leur santé mentaleet leur besoin de soutien. Cette étude quantitative a été menée auprès d’étudiants de premier cycle dans deux universités du Manitoba, au Canada. Un sondage a été rempli par 932 participants, dont 21 % qui s’identifiaient comme étudiants internationaux. De nature descriptive, l’article décrit et compare le profil sociodémographique, l’état de santé mentale, les caractéristiques psychologiques et les stratégies d’adaptation des étudiants internationaux et canadiens dans chaque établissement. Selon nos données, les étudiants internationaux rapportent plus souvent avoir une excellente santé mentale, être satisfaits deleur vie, avoir une bonne estime de soi et une image corporelle positive que les étudiants canadiens. Toutefois, ils sont moinsenclins à parler de leurs problèmes. Un soutien adapté aux différentes cultures qui prendrait en considération les différencesethnolinguistiques, les pratiques religieuses et la littératie en santé mentale répondrait mieux aux besoins des étudiants internationaux.  \nMots-clés : étudiants internationaux, premier cycle, santé mentale, services de soutien, diversité ethnolinguistique  \nIntroduction  \nSince the turn of the millennium, globalization has transformed the landscape of higher education in Canada: internationalization of Canadian post-secondary campuses is flourishing (Canadian Bureau for International  \nEducation [CBIE], 2018a) . In the 2017–2018 academic year, the number of international students (IS) in Canada—originating from over 200 countries—increased for the third successive year, representing 14.1% of overall enrolment and a 376.5% increase since 2000 (Statistics Canada, 2018a, 2020) .
