Airport Pick-Up
Students may request Airport Pick-up Service by email or fax. Please fill out the form Airport Pick-up Form. Request must be received at least 2 weeks before your arrival date. $100 CAD Fee for Airport Pick-up service. Willis College's (Mandarin speaking) Representative will meet your flight at the Ottawa International Airport. Upon arrival, Willis Representatives will make sure that students reach their accommodations safely and will call students' families as soon as they arrive.
For an addition $ 50 CAD, a Willis College representative will pick you up from your Ottawa residency and escort you to the Airport and assist you. Most students do NOT choose this option. After living in Ottawa for almost 9 months and with the convenient transit system or their new Canadian friends, they are now worldly travelers and can easily make the necessary arrangements by themselves. Through out the program we encourage them to learn how to be resourceful.

To help ensure a place to live, it is suggested that this decision be made 2 months prior to start date of chosen program and all fees associated are paid in full.
