The Government of Canada requires all international students to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival in Canada. Effective February 22, 2021, the government of Canada also requires international students to complete a three-day quarantine in a federally approved location prior to completing Lambton College's quarantine arrangements for international students. As a result, Lambton College students will be required to reserve the following:
- A three-day quarantine at a federally managed quarantined location
- An 11-day quarantine arranged by college staff at one of our quarantine hotels
Students must complete the pre-arrival orientation course and the online registration before
booking the Lambton College quarantine package. The 11-day Lambton College quarantine package is provided at a subsidized rate of $900 CAD (non-subsidized rate is $1,500.)
The Lambton College quarantine package is designed to provide students with everything required to quarantine properly. Included in the package is the following:
- Pick-up and drop off arranged by the College
- 11-day hotel accommodation
- Single occupancy, free WIFI connectivity, elevated cleanliness and disinfecting protocols in place at all selected locations
- All meal delivered to hotel room (able to accommodate all special dietary needs)
- Transport to student's place of residence upon completion of quarantine period
- Arrangement and facilitation of a COVID-19 test (mandatory requirement)
- Personalized POE support letter
- WeCare welcome bag
Do not book travel arrangements until you have your Port of Entry support letter! Only students who have received a study permit letter and a Temporary Residence Visa may be eligible to travel.

The College COVID support team will transport students from the government arranged three-day quarantine hotel to the Lambton College approved 11-day quarantine hotel. The hotel that will be assigned to each student depends on factors such as availability.
The hotels listed are for reference only. Do not book your own Lambton College quarantine hotel. All hotel bookings for the Lambton College quarantine hotel are made by college staff when you purchase the quarantine package. The Lambton
College quarantine hotels are internationally well-known and located within the Greater Toronto Area.

and college requirements can be met and that appropriate services such as daily compliance and COVID testing can be administered as required. Please be advised that college staff may inspect or require evidence that equivalent levels of safety as
those employed with the Lambton College Quarantine Package are in place to protect students and the surrounding neighbourhood and/or community. For more information, please contact housing@lambtoncollege.ca.
