Canada travel restrictions and requirements for Malaysian students

Since the beginning of the pandemic, international students have always faced unique challenges and it was almost impossible to accelerate their career journey. Borders of many popular education destinations were closed to curve the line and restrict the spread of Covid-19 infection among the community. 

Hello international students, welcome back to Canada!

Now the Canadian government is all set to welcome back international students after seemingly a long period of time. Students can now go back to their dream destination to enjoy offline classes. The government of Canada is exhibiting eminence as being extremely supportive to international students and universities in Canada are regaining their normalcy with improved practices.

All travellers, including international students regardless of citizenship entering Canada, must follow testing and quarantine requirements to keep everyone in the country safe. If you have been planning to begin your studies in Canada , or return to the country as an international student or student dependent, you are supposed to qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller.

To qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller:

Apart from being eligible as a fully vaccinated traveller, as an international student, you must also fulfil the requirements as below:

Note: If you are a fully vaccinated traveller, carry proof of vaccination.

The COVID-19 Readiness Plan

This plan is a blueprint that helps you get familiar with the safety standards taken by your DLI, in order to protect the well-being of enrolled students and the surrounding community. You can also understand how your institution is equipped to provide support, food, and medication during the mandatory quarantine period.

Even if you meet all the requirements as stated above, the border services officers will look into certain factors to reassure and finalize your eligibility. Your reason for travelling and your ability to complete a quarantine period minimum of 14 days will be tested upon your arrival. Another important piece of information is that you are not restricted to take your classes online when you are under quarantine. But it is crucial that you complete your quarantine plan before attending on-campus classes.
