Arrival in Canada

Welcome to Canada! When you first enter Canada, you’ll need to get your study permit at the border.

Residence Check-in Expectations 

As per the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), there is no mandatory quarantine or COVID testing for all travelers arriving in Canada. (Ref:Travel, quarantine and borders)

You are encouraged to use a self-test kit if you are experiencing symptoms or would like peace of mind before beginning in-person learning of your classes. Should you have a positive result, please report to the CIC Medical & Wellness Clinic and/or a Residence staff.

If you have a positive COVID-19 test result, you will have to go into isolation in one of our CIC residence buildings. Once you are cleared by one of our CIC Medical & Wellness staff, you will move to your residence room and begin in-person learning.
