Canada Student Accommodation Questions

You usually need a valid study visa or work permit, proof of income such as a job offer letter or pay slips, and a government-issued ID such as your passport. Landlords sometimes ask for a reference letter, and some ask for a Canadian bank account or credit check.

You can choose between university-managed accommodation and housing with a private landlord when studying in Canada. University-managed options can be catered, meaning meals are cooked for you, or self-catered, and your accommodation office can guide you either way you decide to go.
