UPDATE ON INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION STUDIES – December 22, 2020 update

As the IRCC has now opened borders for International Students to begin arriving back in Canada to study, it is important that all students plan for quarantine upon their arrival with the Waterloo Catholic District School Board approved quarantine location.  This will be the only accepted quarantine for students arriving in Canada during the time of COVID 19.

In addition, it has been announced that upon return of Christmas Holidays, the Province of Ontario will be in shutdown effective December 26, 2020 at 12:01 am.  This means that the province has shutdown any non-essential businesses until January 24, 2021.  However, with that in mind, students in our Elementary schools will be attending Virtual classes starting on January 4, 2021 and in person learning on January 11, 2021.  Secondary Students in grades 9-12 will be studying remotely until Monday, January 25, 2021.  This is to ensure that the transition back to classes is safe for all students.

If you are concerned or have questions about the return to school in January 2021, please contact us at internationaleducation@wcdsb.ca.
