How should schools, custodians and parents share student updates?

Agree in advance on regular reports about attendance, academics, wellbeing and important school notices, while keeping emergency contacts separate.

Put the reporting frequency, privacy consent, time zone, communication channel and escalation process in writing.

What to verify

Use the current official instructions from IRCC, the destination school and, where relevant, the province or territory. Requirements can change and depend on individual circumstances.

Planning advice

Keep a dated checklist, ensure all documents tell one consistent story, and obtain written confirmation before making irreversible travel, tuition or immigration decisions.
