Arriving to Canada

All international students travelling to Mohawk College from outside of Canada are required to self-isolate for a period of 14 days. Also, any other domestic students (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) who travel outside of Canada must complete a 14-day self-isolation period upon return to Canada. These rules apply after any international travel for as long as the self-isolation requirement remains a directive of the Government of Canada. The Government of Canada is also mandating one COVID-19 test be administered to every student who has travelled internationally during the 14-day self-isolation period. All travelers must also test negative for COVID-19 before travelling from another country to Canada and provide documentation of the test result 72 hours prior to departure and must take a COVID-19 test upon arrival at the airport in Canada.

Please see the following sections which will walk you through your mandatory preparation and supports available for you.

International Students
All international students preparing to start their semester will need to follow the steps outlined on our Get Ready to Start webpage. As well, all international students entering Canada must follow the steps on the Entering Canada webpage.

Domestic Students
Domestic students returning to Canada will need to follow the steps outlined on our Travel webpage and should also review the Campus Re-opening webpage.
