ILSC & Greystone College Toronto & Vancouver Temporarily Shifting Classes Online
Following the recent announcement of new restrictions and public health guidance in the province of Ontario, ILSC and Greystone College Toronto will temporarily shift from in-school delivery to fully online classes from Tuesday, January 4th, 2022 to Friday, January 7th, 2022. This announcement follows similar guidance in the province of Quebec for ILSC and College Greystone Montr?al.
While the British Columbia government has not mandated a return to online classes, health officials are urging everyone in the province to take extra care. In response to the increased risk to the safety of our students, staff, and faculty, we have also decided to temporarily shift ILSC and Greystone College Vancouver classes online from January 4th, 2022 to January 7th, 2022.
Upon further government guidance, we will re-evaluate the situation regularly and provide an update on all three ILSC and Greystone College Canadian locations before January 7th, 2022. There will be minimal disruption to the classes.
Students have also received an email and app notifications from the schools with instructions on how to join the online classes from home. We remind you to check our Online & In School Delivery web page below for the latest updates about program delivery at each campus:

Canada¡¯s New COVID-19 Quarantine Measures, starting February 22, 2021
Dear Partners,
Further to the Government of Canada¡¯s recent announcement and additional guidance provided by Languages Canada earlier today, we would like to update you about new COVID-19 quarantine measures that will be implemented for travelers arriving to Canada starting this coming Monday, February 22nd. Read on to learn what students should expect; how these new measures will work together with our existing quarantine packages; and how we¡¯ll be supporting you and your students to meet the new requirements.
WHAT ARE THE NEW REQUIREMENTS?
Starting Monday February 22nd, along with current 14-16 day quarantine requirements and pre-arrival COVID-19 testing, the Canadian federal government will also require travellers to:
Take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival in Canada
Stay in a government approved hotel for 3 nights while they await the results of this COVID-19 molecular test
WHAT DOES THE STUDENT¡¯S ARRIVAL AND QUARANTINE EXPERIENCE LOOK LIKE?
From 12:01 am ET on Monday February 22nd, students who arrive to Canada¡¯s four major international airports (Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary) can expect to go through the following steps:
1. Arrival and 3-days in a government-approved hotel
Students will proceed through immigration and receive a COVID-19 PCR test upon arrival
Upon clearing immigration, students will be escorted to the government-approved hotel in the city where they first land ? transportation from the airport to the hotel is included in the 3-day hotel stay package, which also includes cleaning and meals
An ILSC representative will contact students upon their arrival at the hotel either by phone or by email
Once students receive their negative COVID-19 test result, they will be released from the government hotel and can continue to their final quarantine destination
2. Transition to their originally booked quarantine accommodation
ILSC will arrange transportation for the student from the government approved hotel to their originally booked ILSC and Greystone College quarantine accommodation so that they can complete the remaining 11-13* days of quarantine in accordance with our previously approved Canada Quarantine Guide.
Note that some students may need to take an additional domestic flight to reach their final quarantine destination. This is permitted under the new requirement. If applicable and not provided by the government, ILSC will help arrange ground transportation to the departure airport and pick students up from their arrival airport to bring them to their quarantine accommodation.
Throughout the entire quarantine, including the 3-day hotel stay upon arrival to Canada, students can participate in online classes as planned.
The Government of Canada has also provided this helpful guide to show the steps involved in travelling to Canada.
* In Vancouver and Montreal, students will complete 11 additional days of quarantine. In Toronto, students will complete 13 more days.
HOW ILSC WILL MANAGE STUDENT QUARANTINE ACCOMMODATION CHANGES
ILSC and Greystone College are here to make these new requirements as simple as possible for our arriving students. For students who have already booked a quarantine accommodation package with us, we will issue a credit for 3 days of their booking, if applicable. In consultation with the student¡¯s agent, we will then arrange to book the student¡¯s government approved hotel and adjust the quarantine package invoice accordingly.
We understand these changes may seem complex, but want to assure you that our registrations, accommodations, and sales teams are actively seeking information from the Government of Canada in order to answer all of your questions. As more information is known, and depending on student arrival dates, we will reach out to you and your students to adjust their quarantine accommodations packages. We thank you for your patience, and look forward to continuing to provide transformative learning experiences, and safe arrival and quarantine support to your students.
Warm regards,
Chris Nolan - Vice President, Sales & Marketing Christopher Mediratta - President & Chief Operating Officer
