Thank
you for your continued support as we worked through unprecedented times due to
the global pandemic. As a school board,
we continue to offer students different learning models. Please visit the YRDSB school reopening
information page for more information regarding learning
models. We will also send communications out to families regarding any
updates to the learning models.
We are guided in our work by the
Ministry of Education, York Region Public Health – including Ontario Public
Health – and IRCC to ensure the safety of international students.
At this time, our work is directed
at welcoming new international students to the February 2021 semester and
supporting existing students in their educational goals.
Before leaving for Canada, please check the following directives:
YRDSB is awaiting approval of their plan.
If IRCC travel restrictions are
lifted, students with a valid study permit may travel to Canada and participate
in school. Please
visit the IRCC website regularly for
updates to the policy.
What you need to do before coming to Canada:
International students, and
accompanying family members, entering Canada must follow the Pre-departure, Travel & Arrival Protocol and complete and return the Self-Isolation Plan to ies.support@yrdsb.ca prior to departure.
