Can a minor international student travel during school holidays?

Holiday travel may be possible, but it must comply with school, custodian, airline and border-entry requirements.

Confirm parental consent, travel authorization, accommodation, supervision, insurance, contact information and valid immigration documents before booking.

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.
