It cannot be denied that in present times the COVID 19 has affected the whole world. Things are difficult and it would certainly take time to get back to normal. Especially for the international student's difficulties have taken a new level and they actually need to cope up. With the cancelling of classes, residencies being on halt, a difficult social system plus staying in isolation is disturbing for the students but one has to understand it.
Coming as an International Student to Canada
In the initial days, Canada closed its border and all unnecessary travel was shut down but with the passing time, the government announced the borders to remain open for the international students who were having a study permit before March 18 2020. In addition to the permit the students were required to have a valid travel document by which they could enter Canada such as Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA).
The students who wanted to study in Canada and enter the place for the same should also have a designated learning institution (DLI) which should state the approved COVID-19 plan in place details. Further, the DLI must comprise of:-
The international students must fulfil all these procurements and then only plan for their entry into Canada.
The Canadian government has asked people not to indulge in non-essential travel leaving their own country. If the International students want to go back to their home they should first consider the details on whether their home country is allowing them to enter and further will they be able to enter Canada in future or not? So in that case consulting an immigration consultant can be a great aid. It is important to check on all this as later on it could be a problem when it comes to their eligibility to apply for a Post-Graduate Work Permit. So make sure you check beforehand.
Details on Housing
The Canadian government has asked people to isolate themselves in the places they are already staying and if in any case, they have no place, then hotels are there where people can isolate themselves for 14 days. During their quarantine period in the hotel, the students are not allowed to come out of the room till lobby eve. The food would be left by the hotel authority at their doorstep. On this note, even the Canadian government has asked the landlords not to evict the tenants of the house as it’s a tough time being faced by every individual.
Thus to conclude these are certain guides which students must consider while they are planning to go to Canada as an International Student.
