International Pre-Departure Session I: Housing & Transition
We’re looking forward to welcoming new Fall 2026 international students to Capilano University.
This session will help you prepare for your studies in Canada and includes key information on starting your time at CapU, with time for questions. Parents and guardians are welcome to attend.
Topics covered:
- Accommodation options
- Study permit: how and where to submit it
- Medical insurance: GuardMe, MSP, and optional coverage (Alumo)
- Social Insurance Number (SIN): how to apply and why you need it
- Cultural adaptation: settling into Canada and building support networks
If you’re still waiting on your study permit decision, you’re still encouraged to attend in case it arrives in time for you to begin your studies.
