Incoming Exchange

As of September 26, 2021, exchange students that qualify as fully vaccinated travellers can enter Canada for exchange programs less than 6 months in duration without being required to have a valid study permit. This means that fully vaccinated exchange students will be able to enter Canada and attend the exchange program with a valid travel document (visitor visa or electronic travel authorization eTA). Visit the Government of Canada website for more information.
