International Students travelling to Canada

Did you know?

Some Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs) in Canada are open for international students, following the requirement by some provinces and territories that those institutions have a COVID19 readiness plan.

Requirements for International Students travelling to Canada during COVID19

The latest update on international students travelling to Canada is that they must have a:

• Valid study permit, or
• Letter of introduction showing approval for a study permit, and

• Their DLI must have a COVID19 readiness plan before they travel

These requirements, along with regular requirements, apply to all international students, whether travelling from the United States or from any other country.

Is my DLI on the approved list?

Find out if your DLI has an approved COVID19 readiness plan using the tool on the IRCC website. We strongly recommend doing this before you start any admission process with an educational institution. Ensure you also check this before travelling to Canada if you are already admitted or are continuing your studies in Canada.

We suggest to contact your DLI to familiarize yourself with their plan, terms and agreements, as you must comply to avoid negative consequences to your learning and visiting experience.
