Homestay & Airport Pickup

If our new international students wish to live with a friendly Canadian family, we will make arrangements for them to do so. We will let them know the details approximately two weeks before their departure for Canada. Upon arrival in Toronto, we will send a friendly and helpful driver to pick them up at the airport and take them to the school, where they will meet their Canadian host family. If a student so desires, we will find a Homestay Canadian family who can speak the student’s first language.

Bank Cards & Mobile Phone Services

We provide guidance to students when they open a bank account and apply for a mobile phone service.

1. Bank Account: When opening an account, students need to bring their Student Visa, Passport, and a school letter
2. Apply for mobile phone service: one of Canadian major telecommunications company Rogers for example, when opening account, students need to bring with student visa, passport and school letter to a local Rogers Service Center, obtain and complete an application form, listen to the customized phone service plan introduction by the shop assistant, then selecting a phone plan interested. Rogers’ mobile phone service plan usually needs to sign a contract. For example, if you contract an Iphone4 plan, you can use an iPhone 4 with the customized mobile phone service plan and 3G internet accesses at the cost of around $100 per month.
