Flights for both Field Schools
› Given that each student has unique circumstances, we
are giving students the option to book their own flights.
› We will identify a group flight that students can join with
Kwantlen faculty or they can make alternate
arrangements as long as they arrive at the expected
meeting points on time.

Visas
› As of January 31, 2011 Canadian citizens do not need
visas to visit France or Germany for less than 90 days
› Non-Canadians might require a visa to enter either
country. Non-Canadians should also check with Canadian
Immigration to ensure that they will maintain their visa or
permanent resident status while outside of Canada.
