Guidance for International Travel

A message from Charmaine Dean, Vice-President, Research and International.

This memo reiterates the University’s processes for international travel including risk mitigation measures, security measures to protect your data and research, and provides recent updates to Government of Canada advice for travel to the United States

It is important to note that these updates are reminders of what has always been the case with respect to international travel to any jurisdiction. 

On November 21st Waterloo International hosted a one-day conference focused on mapping out Canada's opportunities in the Indo-Pacific region in emerging and disruptive technology sectors. More than a dozen scholars, experts,  and industry leaders gathered in panels to discuss three critical areas: international opportunities in innovation, mapping complementarities to Canadian Innovation and developing a talent pipeline.
