Accepted International Students

Travel Document Checklist

Before leaving for Canada, please ensure that you have the following travel documents:

  • a valid passport or travel document

  • the letter of introduction from the visa office that you received when your study permit was approved (this letter contains your permit reference number and the CBSA officer needs this letter to issue your study permit)

  • a valid temporary resident visa (if required)

  • a copy of the letter of acceptance from the school at which you are permitted to study

  • proof that you have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Canada and

  • letters of reference or any other documents recommended by the visa office where you applied.

Carry the above items and all other valuable papers, cash and traveller’s cheques with you at all times. Do not put them in your checked luggage.

Please ensure that you know the exact address of your residence in Winnipeg. You may be required to provide this information at your port of entry into Canada.
