4. Register on the Campus France website
5. Obtain a Student 2B Visa (as soon as you have the Letter of Acceptance from Nice and Western)
6. Gather the following documents (as soon as possible)
- Long form of birth certificate (you might
need to get a French translation of this done in France, but the translation has
not always been required in recent years)
- Proof of Provincial Health
coverage
- Proof of supplementary health insurance
(OHIP, UHIP or parent’s out of country coverage)
- Passport-size photos: you will need a supply
of about 10 or 12 of these (for Carte de séjour, registration at the university
and other administrative matters). For the visa application, be sure to follow
the photo guidelines in the application package.
- Financial
guarantee (you must show that you have $1000 for every month abroad)
- Affidavit concerning liability coverage (you will need to
sign it as a statement that you will get some upon arrival, because in Canada we
do not have “personal liability” coverage like they do in France)
- Vaccination card (up-to date)
- Letter of
acceptance from the University of Nice: you can expect to receive this
in June, once your application to the University has been processed
