✈️ Preparing for Travel

Get guidance on flights, documents, and travel essentials for your journey.

Booking Your Flight

• Choose a flight that arrives before your program start date so you have time to settle in.

• Book early to secure better prices.

• Keep layovers and travel time in mind—plan for enough rest before orientation or classes.

  
  

Essential Documents to Carry

Keep these items in your hand luggage (not checked bags):

• Passport with visa or eTA (if required).

• Letter of Introduction / Approval Letter from IRCC.

• Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from your school.

• Proof of Funds (bank statements, GIC, or sponsorship letter).

• Tuition payment receipt.

• Housing or accommodation details.

• Any medical or vaccination records if required.

  
  

🧳Packing Tips

• Bring clothing suitable for Canadian seasons (layering is key).

• Pack important medications in your carry-on with a doctor’s note if needed.

• Keep electronics and valuables in your hand luggage.

• Limit liquids in carry-on (airline rules usually allow up to 100ml per container).

  
  

At the Border (Canada Arrival)

• Be ready to show your Letter of Introduction, passport, and Letter of Acceptance to the border officer.

• Officers may ask about your school, program, and funds. Answer honestly and confidently.

• Your study or work permit will be issued at the airport—double-check the details before leaving customs.
