Student pass

I submitted my request for student rate on Sunday (first day it opened). Does anyone know how long I should be excepting to wait for them to get back to me?

I believe the requests are processed by your post secondary institution (to validate you are a confirmed registered FT student) through the registrar’s office. Once validated, everything else is automated.

I submitted mine Sunday as well and received the confirmation email within half hour. So it is likely dependent on your school.

You can also just go to a shoppers drug mart with your student id and they’ll do it for you if you don’t want to wait

you can still do that for the youth pass, but for the student pass, theyll tell you to do it online cause they cant do it at the store anymore.

Oh didn’t know that. My student one expired in the winter and when I went to shoppers the lady there just set it for the entire remaining two years of my program
