Please read the latest news release for more information. For further information regarding the mandatory testing upon and arrival and stay at a government designated hotel, please visit the Government of Canada website.

The measures apply to all international students who are enrolled in a PGWP-eligible program, and meet all other PGWP criteria." Go here for the entire news release.

Studying in northern British Columbia
International Recruitment Coordinator, Jessica Scafe, takes a tour through the Terrace campus. Terrace is the largest Coast Mountain College campus with lots to offer students.
The Terrace campus is finally getting new on campus housing! Coast Mountain College secured funding in 2019 and construction is well under way. There will be 104 rooms with four guest suites for visitors. CMTN has been consulting with First Nations Council and the First Nations communities we serve to design the look of the building inside and out. The housing will hopefully be completed in September 2021. Stay tuned for housing updates in the coming months.
Living off campus
Coast Mountain College has offers on campus accommodation at the Terrace campus but has limited rooms due to the COVID-19 protocols. Students who wish to come to Canada to study in country during COVID-19 restrictions should be looking for a place to live off campus as soon as possible. A shared apartment off campus is estimated to range between $500-$800 per month. Utilities may not be included. Visit our living off campus page for links and resources on how to find housing.
