Amid the global pandemic, COVID Safe Canada Program aims to provide 24/7 remote assistance to international students scheduled to begin their studies at participating institutions, including returning students.

This program is designed to meet local, provincial and national COVID-19 guidelines and institutional guidelines, while sharing expert advice from public health care authorities and making arriving international students aware of the legal obligations vis-à-vis the Quarantine Act. Highlights of service include a detailed pre-arrival guide, self-serve tools, links to on-campus support, and post-arrival guide. Through the custom branded app provided by iCent, COVID Safe Canada connects with students through live chat, email support, and emergency call back, with the option of emergency in-person assistance at the airport.

You will provide your students with peace of mind with a suite of services designed to meet safety and reporting standards, from pre-departure to arrival. See below for a full listing of our services.
