ADDRESS
Airport transfers can be arranged by EC if requested in advance.
All flight details including arrival time, flight numbers, airline
and point of origin have to be advised prior to arrival in order for
EC to provide airport transfers. Failure to notify the airport
transfer number of flight delays/cancellations will result in
assessment of fees. Students who have booked airport transfer
and have a change of flight on their trip to Canada should call
the school during office hours (Monday to Friday 08:30-17:00
local time) or the airport transfer cell telephone after hours.
The driver will meet students outside of the arrivals gate
holding a sign with the student's name as well as the EC logo.
The airport transfer number is active outside of office hours
whenever EC is expecting a student who has booked airport
transfer. Airport transfer number: +1 514 947 1030. Students who
have not booked airport transfer should contact their
homestay or residence directly if their flight is delayed.
There are a variety of inexpensive and reliable alternatives to
get from the airport to the student's destination. These options
are not arranged by the school. The student can find out more
information about these services at the airport. These rates are
subject to change without notice. All rates are based on 2011
costs in Canadian dollars.
