What to Bring to Your Appointment
Please bring the following documents to your appointment:
- Student's immigration document
- Proof of parent's immigration status in Canada:
- Confirmation of permanent residence (landing paper or permanent residence card) OR
- Parent's work or study permit (confirmation of enrollment in a post-secondary program is required for study permit holders)
- Recent, dated documentation to confirm your permanent address in Saskatoon (e.g., signed mortgage, rental or lease agreement, utility bill, Saskatchewan driver's license)
- School transcripts (school records) for students age 14+ who will attend secondary school
- Any other relevant documents.
What Will Happen at Your Appointment
Once your child's immigration status has been confirmed, we will:
- Introduce your family to our schools
- Help register your child for elementary or high school
- Assess your child's
English as an Additional Language (EAL)* skills (children six years and older)
- Recommend support and programming for children who need EAL services.
*If your child speaks a language other than English, staff at the Newcomer Student Centre will assess their level of English. This information will be sent to the school. The result will
not be used to place your child in a grade level; it will be used to decide how much additional support your child may need at school.
