Arrival & Reporting

After reporting has been completed, the custodian/parent can proceed with contacting the school (by phone or email) on behalf of the student to make an appointment for registration and course selection after reporting has been completed. The custodian/parent must go to the school with the student for in-person registration.

All new students and their custodians or parents are required to participate in this important information session. Our Guidance Counsellors for International Students (GCIS) team will share latest updates on school programs, renewal requirements, TDSB support services for international students, and how to use the emergency insurance package. We will also reserve time to answer questions from the students and parents/custodians.

We would like to send a warm welcome to all international students coming to study at the Toronto District School Board for the September 2026 semester. Prior to your arrival in Toronto, please review the following important information.

• Elementary Student Roadmap
• Secondary Student Roadmap

We understand that due to various reasons some students may not be able to report to the TDSB before the new semester starts, e.g., study permit or visa approval delay, flights availability or personal emergencies. If you cannot report to the International Students and Admissions Office on or before September 08, 2026, please complete late reporting by going to 5050 Yonge Street – 1st Floor International Students and Admissions Office during normal office hours.

For the September 2026 semester, the latest time that secondary students are allowed to report to the TDSB will be September 18, 2026 and for elementary students it will be October 06, 2026. Students who cannot report by this date are strongly encouraged to request a deferral for their studies. For elementary students that plan to report later than this date, we encourage the families to contact our office by email, and we will communicate with the schools to accommodate their requests.
