The Destination
Ontario Airport Welcome program is a collaboration between Ontario post-secondary
institutions and several municipalities; the operations are led by the iCent team.
Staff at the
welcome booth greet international students exiting Customs and Immigration at the Arrivals
level with a welcome package, offer assistance with transportation, accommodation, provide
free calls home to inform family, and other helpful services. The program also provides an
app called iCent that students can access prior to arrival; this app offers key information
to help students get started in Canada.
By providing a
warm welcome and guidance to new students arriving in Canada, the Destination Ontario
partnership aims to attract and retain more international students, and enhance the profile
of Ontario’s cities as highly desirable international learning destinations in Canada.
