Custodianship
Students under the age of 19 are considered minors in Nova Scotia and require a custodian. Citizenship and Immigration Canada may require that some persons under the age of 19 applying for a study permit have a Custodian living in the local community in Canada.
In the event that your student still does not have a custodian, Acadia University assigned an individual to provide custodianship for emergency cases. Please note that the student must live in on-campus residence at Acadia until the end of the semester in which they turn 19 to qualify for custodianship.
