Airports
Most students will be flying international flights coming in through Calgary International Airport (YYC), Calgary, Alberta. There are car rental services at the airport.

Occasionally students leave a class early to make better airline connections. We try to arrange the classes so that the most important topics are taught first. However, when you must leave early we believe you are missing material that is important (or we would not include it in the class).

Visa/Passport
Beginning January 8, 2007, all US travelers entering Canada are required to provide a valid passport. If you are a permanent resident of the U.S, you must bring your Permanent Resident Card (i.e., green card) with you. A driver’s license or Social Security card is NOT valid proof of citizenship. For non-North American citizens please refer to the following web site for the list of countries that require a visa to enter Canada. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.html

For more information on Visa/Passport requirements, please visit the Canada Border Service Agency web site: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel/visitors-e.html
