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.
Ontario is on the Designated Learning Institution (DLI) list to accept international students. YRDSB is on the list of approved boards open to receive 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:
What you must do before coming to Canada:
International students, and
accompanying family members, entering Canada must follow the Pre-departure, Travel & Arrival guidelines and complete and return the Self-Isolation Plan to ies.support@yrdsb.ca prior to departure. The guidelines are available in English, Chinese, Farsi and Vietnamese.
