Governmental Procedures
Northeastern University Toronto and Vancouver campuses are required to collect the Study Permits and Health Insurances of all our international students. This is mandated by the provincial governments in Canada.
You must ensure that you keep your records updated. You are responsible for updating your documents when they expire. You should always keep your documents valid, and ensure you extend them on time and submit them to OGS on time.
New Students
Instructions below are for students who have arrived in Canada to start their studies at Northeastern University and have received a Study Permit. Please DO NOT submit any documents unless you have already arrived in Canada.
You must submit the Canadian Arrival Questionnaire in the myOGS portal. Please do not submit any other forms, only submit the Arrival Questionnaire.
Toronto Students
You will need to upload your Study Permit and proof of GuardMe health insurance to the Arrival form. Do not submit your Visa (stamped in your passport), only submit your Study Permit, which you get at the border when you arrive in Canada.
Vancouver Students:
You will need to upload your Study Permit and proof of GuardMe health insurance to the Arrival form. Do not submit your Visa (stamped in your passport), only submit your Study Permit, which you get at the border when you arrive in Canada.
Once you get your MSP Health Card, you will need to upload a photo of the card as your continued proof of health insurance to the Health Insurance Update form.
Continuing Students
Always keep your documents in the myOGS Portal updated.
If your Study Permit has expired and you applied for an extension and received your new Study Permit, please update your records by uploading the new Study Permit to the Study Permit Update form.
If your Health Insurance has expired, please ensure you extend it before the expiry date. Once you receive your new policy card (guard.me, MSP), please upload it to the Health Insurance Update form.
Toronto Students: If you receive OHIP, it is the only exception to guard.me. You may upload your OHIP policy card as your proof of health insurance.
