Airport Arrival Accommodation Application Form

If you are a new international Lakehead student or an international student arriving in Canada for the first time and studying at Lakehead University, Lakehead International can arrange transportation from the airport to your accommodations.  

To minimize our environmental impact, Lakehead International uses a combination of complementary buses and taxis as necessary to support student arrivals. 

Eligibility

1. Our airport transportation service is only for new incoming Lakehead University international students who are arriving in Canada for the first time. Returning students are not eligible for this service.
2. International students must have received their visa documents before submitting an airport transportation request. You will need to upload these documents as proof of attending Lakehead. You will not be issued a taxi voucher until these documents are received. 
3. You must have your place of accommodation secured before we will issue a taxi voucher. Please do not submit a request until you have worked out where you will be staying upon your arrival in Thunder Bay, Orillia, or Barrie.
4. You must submit your airport transportation request at least four (4) business days (Monday to Friday) before your departure to Canada so that your taxi voucher can be processed.
