Waterloo Postdoc Quarantine Program

The Waterloo Postdoc Quarantine Package provides access to supports for new and returning postdoctoral fellows travelling from outside of Canada.  The purpose of these supports is to assist postdocs in fulfilling the mandatory quarantine requirements as set by the Government of Canada.  The program includes:

• Transportation to the quarantine location (where applicable)
• Private room with washroom at a local hotel
• Three (3) meals/day delivered to your door (optional)

The University is providing this as a helpful service to postdoctoral fellows. It is important to note that, as a temporary foreign worker, you, and you alone, are responsible for ensuring you meet all immigration and quarantine/self-isolation requirements as determined by the federal government.

Postdoctoral fellows arriving to Canada from an international destination before July 19, 2021 are able to register for this package. You should register 7-14 days before your flight.  The deadline to register is Wednesday, July 14, 2021, but your travel plans can take place anytime between now and July 19, 2021 (in order for the quarantine period to be completed by August 2, 2021).

To be eligible for the Quarantine Package you must meet all of the following criteria:

• Be a current or incoming postdoctoral fellow of the University of Waterloo (as defined by the postdoc guidelines and must be appointed as such on the University’s non-faculty appointment form).
• Travelling to Canada from an international destination. 

If you want to learn more about your eligibility for this package, contact Angela Rooke (a2rooke@uwaterloo.ca).
