Travel Guidance

The Government of Canada has ordered a Quarantine Act that makes it mandatory for any person entering Canada to self-isolate and monitor for COVID-19 symptoms for 14 days upon their arrival. Anyone entering British Columbia from outside of Canada are also required to complete and register a self-isolation plan.

In an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 and to keep our community healthy, BCIT is restricting all BCIT-related travel, both domestic and international, until December 31, 2020. This is consistent with the Government of Canada’s order to limit all non-essential international travel and the BC Health Officials’ order to stay home and practice physical distancing.

Community members with cancelled travel plans are required to make best efforts to try to obtain refunds and/or credits for future use.  Any related documents (i.e. emails, contact information of who they spoke with, etc) need to be included with any expense claims submitted for reimbursement. On the expense claim, please clearly identify that the travel was cancelled due to COVID-19.
