We recognize that many Indigenous Nations have longstanding relationships with the territories upon which York University campuses are located that precede the establishment of York University. York University acknowledges its presence on the traditional territory of many Indigenous Nations. The area known as Tkaronto [Tig-ar-on-toe] has been care taken by the Anishinabek [Nish-na-bek] Nation, the Haudenosaunee [Ho-dee-no-sho-nee] Confederacy, and the Huron-Wendat. It is now home to many First Nation, Inuit and Métis communities. We acknowledge the current treaty holders, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This territory is subject of the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement to peaceably share and care for the Great Lakes region.

While on-campus housing at York University may be available, it could be limited and in high demand. Please reach out to York U's hou s ing services for assistance . International students (IVRTs) are advised to explore off-campus housing options if necessary.  

Finding suitable off-campus accommodation poses challenges for all students, with international students facing additional hurdles due to their unfamiliarity with the city. Typically, areas like "Downtown" and "Midtown" are favored by York students for their proximity to the Yonge-University subway line and abundance of student-friendly amenities. You can use an interactive map of Toronto's neighborhoods to familiarize yourself with each area's characteristics.  

For a selection of off-campus housing options catering to York University students, refer to York's Off-Campus Housing page .  If you prefer a central urban setting, consider residences like Neill Wycik Co-operative, Tartu College, and Campus Co-op .  

It's crucial to understand your rights and obligations as a renter in Ontario. Typically, signing a 12-month lease is standard practice, which may not align with your international student schedule. The Ontario Government’s Landlord and Tenant Board website offers essential information on rental rights and obligations.  

While most landlords are reputable, there are risks of encountering fraudulent ones, particularly for international students. Familiarize yourself with common rental scams to avoid falling victim.  

York University cannot guarantee the suitability of off-campus housing and advises caution when leasing non-York accommodations. It's highly recommended to visit the neighborhood during both day and evening hours, meet the landlord, and inspect the property before committing to a lease. This diligence ensures informed decisions regarding factors like safety, accessibility, lighting, and maintenance.  

Immigration

• IVRTs arriving in Canada without valid immigration documentation may NOT be allowed to enter the country.
• Work Permit requirement may vary depending on the IVRT's professional background and qualification. Please consult with your local Canadian Visa Office/Embassy/High Commission for details. If you are required a work permit, you should start the preparation of the work permit application at least 3 months prior to your visit to York University.
• Submitting a work permit application  does not guarantee  issuance of a work permit. The Canadian Visa office/Embassy/High Commission overseas is the only authority that makes decision on the application.  
• Obtain your official York admission letter (if it has not been emailed to you).
• Register for health insurance for yourself and your accompanying dependents (if applicable). To register for health insurance, you will need your invitation letter, admission letter, passport and work permit (if applicable).

Pre-Arrival Webinars

Orientation, staying engaged, work permit.

• If you are exempted from applying for a work permit, please ensure that you obtain a valid Visitor Visa or eTA for your visit to Canada.

• Steps for the inviting faculty - Offer of Employment & Employer's Compliance Fee to IRCC before you can apply for your work permit, your inviting faculty at York U (the employer) must submit an Offer of Employment and pay a compliance fee CAD$230 via the electronic portal via the IRCC website, and receive an employer ID number upon completion. You will have to include this number into your work permit application. For each faculty at York, there is a designated administrative support person for this task. Please click the IVRT Faculty Contacts for the designated contact person for each faculty. Your inviting faculty member can connect with the designated person directly for submission of the offer of employment and compliance fee.
• Steps for IVRT - Work Permit Application - Apply for a work permit at your local Canadian visa office/embassy or Visa Application Center (VAC).

• York International connects with hosting faculty members and faculty executives to provide assistance in IVRT’s work permit application.

Why do I have to enroll in the University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP)?

Can i enroll in an insurance plan other than the university health insurance plan (uhip), how do i obtain a york university student card.

YU Card Services necessitate the inclusion of the HOST in the atlas to validate their department affiliation. In cases where the HOST isn't listed, confirmation from a designated individual within the department is required to authorize YU card requests. The form mandates the entry of the department’s cost center.  

Once a member of the YU cards team verifies the request through the Mach Form, they manually establish a profile for the IVRT requiring a card. Subsequently, the IVRT will receive instructions to visit the YU CARD office. There, staff members verify identification, capture a photo, and issue the card accordingly.  

How do I get access to the library, gym, and other on-campus facilities while I am at York?

Who is my primary contact during my stay in canada as an ivrt, ivrt information for faculty, i am interested in bringing in a graduate or phd student from another country to perform research. what are my options, why does the student have to apply through the york international ivrt application process, why do the documents have to be signed by the associate dean research, why do i have to use the letter of invitation template provided by york international, what is my next step after issuing the invitation letter to the ivrt.
