After arriving in Canada, make sure to organize your essential documents:

• Study Permit: Make sure to have your study permit on hand, as you’ll need it for identification and any government services.
• Social Insurance Number (SIN): A SIN is necessary if you plan to work in Canada. You can apply for one at a Service Canada location by presenting your study permit.
• Medical Insurance: International students in British Columbia are required to have health insurance coverage, you can get this after applying for the Medical Services Plan (MSP).
