The price of the ISIC is $20.00.

For full-time students who are members of either the Canadian Federation of Students or the Canadian Federation of Students(-Services), the card is issued as a benefit of membership (i.e. the $20.00 fee is waived).

If you are a full-time student at school, college or university, aged 12 or over, you can apply for a student card with ISIC. It's a hassle-free process, and in no time at all you'll be enjoying thousands of discounts and benefits at home and away.

The ISIC card is only for full-time students, so you need to bring the following items to the issuing office:

• A document that proves that you are currently studying full time at a recognized school, college or university. This could be one of the following documents:
  • A copy of your university or student card, which is dated and clearly indicates you are currently a full-time student, or
  • A signed and dated letter on official university or school stationery, which states you are a full-time student. We would prefer an original copy, but photocopies and faxes may be acceptable.
• A recent passport-sized photo;
• An official proof of your date of birth

Being a full time student means that you take at least 16 hours of class a week for a minimum of six months a year.

If you are full-time teacher or aged under 26, you can also enjoy similar benefits to the ISIC card with the International Youth Identity Card (IYTC card) or the International Teachers Identity Card (ITIC).

The standard ISIC card is valid for 16 months, from the start of the academic year in September. Any ISIC issued after September 1 will be valid until December 31 of the following year.
