COVID Safe Steps

UWindsor's International Student Readiness Plan

Pre-Departure Understand your obligations under the Quarantine Act. Review the Government of Canada Coronavirus (COVID-19) travel restrictions, exemptions, and advice 

Step 1: Book Accommodation

Accomodation Options 

  • University of Windsor Residence 

  • Identified hotels in Toronto or Windsor 

  • Off Campus 

Note: you must make sure you are able to properly quarantine without exposing others (roommates, friends, family, etc.). Otherwise everyone else in the house will also have to quarantine for the same 14-day period. Check with your landlord or AirBnB host in advance to see what options might be available to quarantine in your rental apartment, home, or room. 

Step 2: Download ArriveCan & COVID Alert Apps 

A requirement prior to arrival is to submit your:

  • travel and contact information

  • quarantine plan

  • COVID-19 symptom assessment 

Step 3: Download and complete Travel and Quarantine Plan 

The Travel and Quarantine Plan is required and must be presented upon arrival. Three sections need to be completed:  

  • Attestation  

  • Travel from the airport  

  • 14-day quarantine plan 

Present your completed plan to Canada Border Services upon arrival to Canada. Download the Travel and Quarantine Plan 

Step 4: Complete the online UWindsor Pre-arrival Form 

At this time, parents, siblings, and other family members will not be permitted to enter Canada with you, so do not make plans for them to travel with you to Canada.  (Exception: if you are travelling with your spouse and/or your children, and only if these individuals are staying with you in Canada for an extended period). 

Students are responsible for paying all costs associated with your quarantine.
