SUPINFO-Air Canada Partnership

Exclusive partnership between SUPINFO and Air Canada !

Following the opening of SUPINFO Canada in Montreal, SUPINFO and Air Canada have announced a unique agreement available exclusively for SUPINFO students worldwide.

SUPINFO's wish for a strategic opening on the American continent led in 2006 to the creation of The International Institute of Information Technology in Montreal. Well aware of the keen interest of its students for this destination, the school has entered into a partnership with Air Canada and offers competitive rates to its students who choose to travel on Air Canada: return trips from France to Montreal start at € 316 (exclusive of taxes).

Air Canada offers all SUPINFO students with competitive fares from Metropolitan France to any Canadian destination it travels to.

This offer should especially benefit those students who have made the choice to spend a year at SUPINFO Canada: hundreds of them will spend their next year of studies in Montreal and have the opportunity to discover this country in all its diversities while benefiting from SUPINFO's assistance in organizing their international relocation. 

However, SUPINFO's 4,000 students are able to take advantage of this offer be it for a vacation in Canada or for a shorter studying trip to SUPINFO Montreal where they will be able to follow their course thanks to SUPINFO's curriculum continuity program.

Air Canada extends the same offer to the the students' friends. To take advantage of these special rates, the students will need to give the Campus-Booster ID number as well as the name of the SUPINFO student at the time of booking.

SUPINFO students,  Canada opens its doors !

Canada is renowned for its welcoming people and their respect for diversity. It is not surprising that in 2006 Canada was voted by the United Nations as the most enjoyable country to live in .
