Upload your proof of vaccination with QR code to indicate that you received at least 1 dose. Proof of vaccination will be emailed to you by Public Health after your appointment.
If you were vaccinated OUTSIDE QUEBEC
Please register your vaccination with the Quebec Ministry of Health BEFORE proceeding to Concordia’s portal. You will need to book an appointment to do so. To learn how to do this, please consult the quick tutorial included below. Once registered, upload your proof of vaccination with QR code.

If you did NOT receive a COVID vaccine
Submit your request for COVID-19 testing through the vaccine portal. Once you begin COVID-19 testing, you must re-enter this portal to submit proof of each test.
Please note that if you choose not to get vaccinated, you must receive up to three COVID-19 tests per week at your internship site, for the duration of your internship. Your internship may be interrupted if you are not tested on time, and it will be terminated if the test is positive. In this instance, please contact your Internship Coordinator to discuss next steps.
Please allow three weeks for Health Services to review your information.
