COVID-19 Information for International Students
Our Quarantine Plan
Effective January 15, 2022, international students (18 years of age and older) must be fully vaccinated to enter Canada. Fully vaccinated students will be allowed to attend any provincially or territorially designated learning institution in Canada. Unvaccinated foreign nationals will not be permitted to enter Canada unless they meet one of the few exemptions.
Quarantine Plan
You must have a suitable quarantine plan where you can stay for at least 14 days. This is required even if you are seeking the fully vaccinated exemption. Final determination is made by a government representative at the border based on the information presented at the time of entry into Canada. You must be prepared to quarantine for 14 days, in case you:
- are symptomatic
- don’t meet the requirements
