Household Isolation
Before you leave your home country to come to Canada, it is recommended that you self-isolate in your home for 2 weeks and only meet your immediate household members during that time.

Covid-19 Testing
and Mandatory Hotel Quarantine
As of January 7, 2021, students must present a negative molecular Covid-19 test result prior to boarding a flight to Canada. The test must be taken within 72 hours prior to your scheduled departure to Canada.

As of February 21, 2021, students are also required to:
• Reserve a government-authorized hotel for 3 nights prior to departure to Canada.
– To book your mandatory 3-night hotel stopover, call 1-800-294-8253 (from within North America) or 1-613-830-2992 (collect call from outside North America), or look for online booking options on the approved hotel list
– Take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival in Canada and register for the test in advance to save time at the airport
– Stay in the government-authorized hotel to wait for the results of the COVID-19 molecular test taken on arrival
• Pay for the cost of the hotel stay, as well as all associated costs for:
– food
– security
– transportation
– infection prevention and control measures

Travellers must present proof of having reserved and pre-paid for their accommodation through ArriveCAN. Travellers will still be required to complete the remainder of the mandatory 14-day quarantine after their mandatory hotel stopover.

quarantine.

options. College also offers airport pickup services. Contact our Accommodation Services for more details.
