A fast track to the office of the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
Save time! With the information provided by the international students in the registration form, the CBSA team is able to prepare their study permits in advance. The Accueil Plus service has been designed to simplify the arrival of students by reducing their waiting time.
The reception booths for international students
The kiosk in the restricted area, as well as the kiosk in the arrivals hall for international flights and the virtual kiosk (webinars), will offer registered students the opportunity to communicate with the Accueil Plus agents. This dynamic and friendly team will be waiting for you at the airport, in order to inform you, advise you and guide you upon your arrival.
These services are made possible by the travel plans collected from international students through the Accueil Plus registration system.
