Off-campus students

Searching for housing

You can begin by going to the off-campus living website—particularly the listings section—where you will find a number of websites that allow you to search for housing in Halifax. 

We recommend:

1. Browsing through the listings and select at least 5 places. Begin looking as far in advance as you can, as inventory is limited and the market is highly competitive.

2. Contact the landlord to let them know you are interested and the dates you are arriving in Halifax.

3. Try to set up a viewing. We recommend arriving a week or two before the semester starts and staying in temporary accommodations while you go apartment viewing to allow you to see the places in person. 

4. Once you are sure you like a place, payment goes directly to the landlord. You should speak to the landlord to find out what are the acceptable forms of payment (postdated cheques, direct deposit, etc). If you find a great place, make sure you act on it quickly as there is quite a bit of competition in the rental market.

 

Renting terms & responsibilities

It can be very confusing to find housing and understand housing terms and responsibilities in Halifax, especially if you are a first-time renter or not from the area. The best way to help and protect yourself is to educate yourself. We advise the following: 

  • Look at places carefully before you move in. If you are not in Halifax, ask for pictures and the date they were taken. 
  • Learn what a lease is. 
  • Learn what a security deposit is. 
  • Before you move in, make sure you take note of any existing damages, otherwise you may be asked to pay for them when you move out. 
  • Learn what the full cost of the apartment is with utilities, laundry costs, etc. all added together. 
  • If you sign a full-year lease, move in to the apartment for a few months, and then decide to leave, you may be asked to pay for all the remaining months on your lease. Make sure you know what the are for moving out early. 
  • If you plan to share apartments with other students, make sure you nclude all roommates' names on the lease, bill payments, etc. to ensure accountability and responsibility.

More information can be found on the International Centre website.

Additional things to pack

We highly recommend the following items:

Item

Why this is important

Passport

  • You will need this to travel between airports.  It also holds your Temporary Resident Visa (if you are a citizen of a country who needs a visa to enter Canada)

Study Permit Approval letter

  • This letter should have been issued prior to your arrival. 
  • You must show this letter to immigration authorities at the first Canadian airport you land in.  They will take the letter and give you an official study permit in return. 
  • This study permit should authorize you to work off-campus for 20 hours a week. 

Government Identification (ID)

  • In Canada you will often be asked to show government ID (to get a cell phone, set up a bank account, etc). 
  • Bring along a driver’s license, voter registration card, social security card, or any other document that includes your photo and birthdate. 
  • If you have one, bring a driver’s license from your home country if you plan to drive in Canada.  Once you arrive you can have it translated OR you can use an official translation service in your home country.  This will facilitate your transfer to a Canadian license.  It will save you money.
  • Make sure the ID is valid (hasn’t expired)!

Original Police Report

  • In order to work in certain areas, attend conferences and participate in special research projects you will be asked to provide security clearance. 
  • Security clearance is a document from the police department of your country that states whether or not you have been arrested or charged.  This document is often referred to as a police report. 
  • We highly recommend that you apply for a police report and bring it with you to Canada, so that you can easily provide this report whenever you need to. It can be very difficult to get this report if you are already in Canada.

A waterproof winter coat

  • In Halifax, snow can melt into water very easily so we recommend a winter coat that is warm on the inside and waterproof on the outside. 

Raincoat

  • During winter, Halifax gets a mix of snow and rain so a raincoat is just as important as a winter coat. 
  • We do not recommend umbrellas because Halifax is very windy.

Original Education Qualifications (degrees, diplomas, certificates, etc) and if you are married a marriage/wedding certificate.

  • You may be asked to show your qualifications for jobs, or more study opportunities, so it is a good idea to bring these documents with you.
  • Bring every degree you have obtained since secondary (high) school! 
  • If your document is written in a language besides French or English, you will need to have it translated. It is cheaper to get an official translation in your home country than Canada

Medical Files (books, cards, any document detailing your medical history)

  • You may be asked to show this if you need to see a doctor in Canada.

±«Óătv Admission letter

  • You will need this as it helps with setting up bank accounts, and purchasing cell phones and cell phone plans.

Cultural clothing

  • You may have to attend official receptions and dinner parties.  It is a good idea to wear traditional clothing from your home country.

Personal items that hold sentimental value

  • These will prevent you from being homesick and it’s always nice to bring a bit of home with you.

Clothing items

  • You are coming right at the start of winter so be sure to bring sweaters, long pants, and warm socks!  If these items are not available in your home country you can purchase them once you arrive in Canada (the has some great selections!). 
  • Do not attempt to bring jackets, bulky sweaters because it can cost a lot of money and may not be suitable for the winter specific to Halifax.

Food Spices

  • If there are particular spices you enjoy cooking with, you should bring them along.  Please ensure they comply with Canadian customs policies. 

Cell/Mobile phone (unlocked)

  • It can save you money if you want to use a cell phone service while you are in Canada

Get a cell phone

Cell phone plans can vary amongst providers.  It is a good idea for you to explore your options before signing a contract.  Here is a list of the main cell phone companies.


  • Available online only:

Tips for choosing a cell phone provider

  • Ask about extra charges
  • Find out the cost of cancelling your plan 
  • Ask about the benefits and the downsides of contacts versus pay-as-you-go options

Setting up your cell phone

Visit your chosen cellphone service provider and present:

  • Photo Identification - either a Passport or Driver’s License
