What is the purpose of the

Accueil Plus Service?

The Accueil Plus Service is intended for international students who come to study in a Québec university or college. This service provides personal assistance to facilitate the student’s integration at his or her arrival at Montréal-Trudeau Airport between August 6 and September 6 2010.

International students forward us their travel information and the collected data is then passed on to the Accueil Plus Service associate partners. The aim is to provide quality reception services to all international students who pass through the Montréal-Trudeau Airport. The data provided by the international students will be used to facilitate the process with customs services and shorten the waiting time at the border for international students who are provided with a study permit at their arrival at the Montréal-Trudeau Airport.

Take note:

Students due to arrive at the Montréal-Trudeau Airport before August 6 and after September 6 2010 will not be able to take advantage of this service and will have to go through the regular customs procedures.
