The Greater Toronto Airports Authority unveiled its International Student Welcome Program, in partnership with the City of Toronto, the Government of Ontario, Rogers Communications, and local universities and colleges, on August 22.

Toronto Pearson will welcome over 25,000 international students, who will be studying at local post-secondary institutions.

Labelled as the “front door” to the region, and often Canada, Toronto Pearson is where business travellers, newcomers to the country, and avid tourists alike, arrive.

Students are an integral part of the community and the fabric of the city’s region.  Toronto Pearson has a vested interest in ensuring that community diversity – including the large presence of students - continues to be a core pillar of our community’s strength. Toronto’s international diversity is fuelling economic growth and prosperity in the surrounding communities, and demand at Toronto Pearson.

As a premier global gateway airport, international students and the broader community rely on Toronto Pearson to connect to points across the world. 

The GTAA extends its congratulations to the City of Toronto and all partners on the launch of the International Student Welcome Program.
