In the following months, many <a href="https://www.studyabroad.pk/guides/study-in-canada/canada-top-colleges-and-universities-for-international-students-" target="_blank">Canadian universities</a> aim to gradually begin offering on-campus classes. The Canadian government has recommended students to get their vaccination jabs&nbsp;before arriving in Canada, and those who have not previously been inoculated will be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine period.

	Unvaccinated overseas students will be accommodated in Quarantine Housing provided by the University of British Columbia. In Canada, only those&nbsp;vaccinations manufactured by&nbsp;Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca/COVISHIELD, and Johnson &amp; Johnson are accepted. Those who receive other vaccinations will be considered unvaccinated in Canada and will be required to complete a two-week quarantine period.

	Department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship told the media that, &ldquo;To be considered fully vaccinated, students will need to have received the full series of COVID-19 vaccines accepted by Canada at least 14 days prior to entering Canada.&rdquo;

<h2>
	UBC Quarantine Housing</h2>

	University of British Columbia has designed total 160 units for Quarantine purpose. The university has also announced a Quarantine fund named as &ldquo;UBC Quarantine Bursary&rdquo; to help international students to cover their quarantine costs. The university is also in contact with many local hotels where students can stay and spend their mandatory self-isolation period, where the staff will bring their food, medicines and any other necessities they are in need of.

	Matthew Ramsay, director of University of British Columbia said that, &ldquo;While the demand is high, we anticipate that between single residences set aside and hotels it should be manageable.&rdquo;

	He added that, &ldquo;If you have not had a vaccine and are coming from overseas, please look on the B.C. registration site and register for it, so you can get it when you get here.&rdquo;

	The Canadian Government has approved the arrival of international students in Canada since October 2020, students are only allowed to enter if their institute has an approved Covid-19 readiness plan.
