With other private and public universities in British Columbia, FDU Vancouver Campus is following the advice of the Ministry of Advanced Education and public health authorities to prepare for in-person instruction for the Fall 2021 semester. Over the coming months FDUV leadership will be developing plans for different circumstances, following updates that we will be receiving to the post-secondary Go-Forward Guidelines and in line with Worksafe BC requirements. We will keep everyone informed as these plans are developed.

New COVID-19 Testing and Quarantine Requirements

Effective February 22, 2021, the Public Health Agency of Canada requires all travellers arriving in Canada by air, unless exempted, to follow the following protocols: reserve a government-authorized hotel for 3 nights prior to departure to Canada, take a COVID-19 molecular test on arrival in Canada, stay in the government-authorized hotel while awaiting the results of the COVID-19 molecular test taken on arrival, and pay for the cost of the hotel stay, as well as all associated costs for food, security, transportation, and infection prevention and control measures. Travellers will still be required to complete the remainder of the mandatory 14-day quarantine after their mandatory hotel stopover. Travellers must present proof of having reserved and pre-paid for their accommodation through ArriveCAN. Travellers must still provide proof of a negative COVID-19 molecular test taken up to 72 hours before their scheduled departure time.
