Vulnerable Sector Screening Police Check:

International students must apply for a Vulnerable Sector Screening Police Check as soon as you arrive in Canada. A Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) is required for individuals who will be working or volunteering with vulnerable people. A vulnerable person is someone under 18, or an individual who may be  unable to take care of themselves, or unable to protect themselves from harm or exploitation by people in a position of authority or someone they trust. You should apply at least two months prior to your semester starting.  As processing times may fluctuate due to volume and time of year, do not delay (can take up to 10 weeks to process). VSC are considered valid for six months from the date of issuance and must also be valid for the duration of the field placement semester. Please provide identification and proof of Canadian address.

Medical:

If your country does not administer some of the required immunizations, you must complete them once you arrive in Canada. Please visit Seneca International Health Services for further support.
