Travel policies and procedures<\/h1>\n

Overnight trips in Canada<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If an international student is planning an overnight trip outside of the Vancouver area, the student\u2019s natural parents must fill in the travel request form online<\/a> prior to travelling outside of the Vancouver area. This online request must be submitted when traveling overnight with their host as well.<\/p>\n

Once the form has been submitted, the students along with their natural parents and the host will be notified by email. We reserve the right to deny permission for any trips that are deemed too risky for the student.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Day trips to the US<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If students want to attend a day trip to the US, they do not need to be accompanied by an adult over 25. We DO NOT encourage students to travel on their own but they can travel with other students or friends. Natural parents must fill in the travel request form online<\/a> prior to travel.<\/p>\n

Once the Accommodations Coordinators have made note of the trip, the student may plan their trip. It is the student\u2019s responsibility to take proper travel documentation and check the US entry requirements. Visa-exempt foreign nationals who fly to or transit through Canada will need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA).<\/p>\n

We reserve the right to deny trips to the US based on potential risk at our discretion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overseas trips<\/strong><\/h4>\n

If an international student is travelling back to their home country, their parents must also fill in the travel request form online<\/a> prior to travel.<\/p>\n

Once our International office confirms the Student Travel Application, the student may plan their trip.
\n
\n<\/em>We acknowledge that getting flight tickets at Winter and Spring Break can be challenging.
\nStudents should make every effort to return to their schools on time.<\/p>\n

Students should also inform their teachers and hosts of their travel plans as early as possible.<\/p>\n
