• Can I travel outside of Canada?

  If you decide to travel, we encourage you to do the following: 

  • Regularly check Canada's COVID-19: Travel, testing borders. 
  • Regularly check your destination's travel advice and advisories to ensure your safety and to learn about any travel restrictions.
  • Regularly check Travel health notices 
  • Have adequate resources (i.e. online tools, university email access in your country of destination, internet stability, etc.) to ensure you complete your classwork and assessments. 

  Travel back to Canada

  Ensure your study permit—as well as your passport, and Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA)—are valid at all times. Failure to do so could affect your return to Canada and/or your eligibility towards post-graduate programs toward permanent residency.
