Studying is considered an essential reason for travelling to Canada. As soon as you have all the required authorizations, you can travel to Canada without any additional documents.

  • Since April 1, 2022, pre-entry tests are no longer required for fully vaccinated travellers entering Canada by land, air or water. You must still use ArriveCAN within 72 hours before your arrival to Canada.

  • Since November 30, 2021, all air and rail travellers (regardless of their age) are required to be properly vaccinated to travel from and from within Canada.
