It is important to consider your travel arrangements to Canada early, and it is a good idea to have onward travel to your institution or accommodation arranged before departing. You are advised to carry the address and phone number of your accommodation in your hand luggage to make it easier to ask for directions or to get a taxi. Whilst it is advisable to research the best mode of transport and book tickets before departing for Canada, you should wait until you have confirmed your university place, accommodation and visa before booking anything.
