Someone to help you
This is your first opportunity to connect with someone from Memorial and to receive important information and advice, maps and schedules.

Free transportation for all new international students
Airport greeting is a free service that we are pleased to offer newly arriving international students at all levels. We are happy to pay your taxi fee.

Anytime of the day or night, even on the weekend
We are prepared to greet you at any time.

Give us 48 hours advance notice to prepare for your arrival.
We need time to make arrangements to meet you. We have to check who is available, ensure your accommodations are in order, brief staff/volunteers about the details and prepare information for you.

For your family members, too.
We are also happy to assist anyone traveling with you.

Check if the date changes during your travel
For example, a flight departing from Toronto on May 4 at 10:45 p.m. arrives in St. John's on May 5 at 3:14 a.m.

Confirm your housing arrangements
You must have a confirmed place to stay before submitting your pickup request. You will have to tell us where to bring you so you must arrange temporary or permanent housing as soon as possible before you leave.

Check your arrival city on your flight itinerary
There are two cities in Canada with similar names.

  • St. John's, Newfoundland (NL), Airport code YYT (Correct city)
  • Saint John, New Brunswick (NB), Airport code YSJ (Wrong city)

Check your travel itinerary to ensure you are flying to the correct city: St. John's, Newfoundland (NL) Airport code YYT. If the airport code does not appear on your flight itinerary, contact your travel agent or airline.

You must enter this 3 letter airport code on your airport pickup request or you will receive an error when you submit your request.

Please note that there is NO SMOKING permitted inside Canadian airports.

 

 

Complete and submit the online form.
We will confirm that we have received your request.

Someone else is picking you up
We will still pay the taxi cost. Bring your taxi receipts to and from the airport to our office and we will reimburse you. Please email us the details of your arrival and who will be picking you up.
