Designated Learning Institutions in Canada reopening to international students
Coast Mountain College is now open to international students outside Canada! Eligibility to travel to Canada to study is based on if the student has or has been approved for a study permit. The COVID-19 readiness plan and quarantine plan we have created has been approved by the Government of British Columbia allowing CMTN to accept international students to study in country.
Even though students will be in Canada to study, classes will still be taught through Distributed Learning (online, non face to face) delivery. Students traveling to Canada will need to quarantine at Point of Entry for 14 days and have health insurance. Students need to notify Coast Mountain College prior to making travel plans. For more details visit the Government of Canada website, our COVID-19 safety plan webpage and our quarantine plan for international students.
