Visit the Digital Setup Guide for step-by-step instructions.
Your acceptance into a Greystone College program will depend on reaching the appropriate English level. You can demonstrate your English level in many ways, such as completing the ILSC Online English Assessment, providing an English certificate from an accepted provider or international test like IELTS, Cambridge or Pearson. If you have not provided this, you may be asked to complete the ILSC Online English Assessment before you start the course.
If you are coming from an international flight, you will be arriving at the Vancouver International arrivals terminal on Level 2.
If you are coming from a Canadian connecting flight, you will be arriving in the Vancouver Domestic terminal, also on Level 2 of the main terminal.
Here are some transport options from the airport.
If you are staying in ILSC accommodation, homestay or student residences, you can request airport pickup. A private transport company staff member will meet you at the airport and take you to your ILSC accommodation. Look for the ILSC Education logo and your name. Remember to provide your flight details in advance.
The week before your Start Date, you are required to attend your school Orientation. You will be able to meet other students, the academic team and the campus support. You can ask questions and get all the information you need for a successful study experience.
Visit the Greystone College Canada Orientation Page for all the information about this session.
