Please arrive to Ottawa on August 23, 2027, before 3 pm EST. We will provide transportation for you from the airport, train, or bus station to the location where NET Training will be held. In the unlikely event that you wait at this location for more than an hour, please call the NET office, at (613) 841-4141.

If you have a conflict with these times, only finalize your travel plans after checking with us.

We will get in contact with you about collecting your travel information in July.

Upon arrival, you will meet a NET representative in baggage claim wearing a NET shirt, and they will inform you of what to do next. If a NET representative is absent, please remain at this location until they return. In the unlikely event that you wait at this location for more than an hour, please call the NET office, at (613) 841-4141. If you find out that your arrival time or flight number is changed or your flight is cancelled, please contact the NET office immediately.

We will have a NET staff member pick you up from the station.
In the unlikely event that you wait at this location for more than an hour, please call the NET office, at (613) 841-4141.

Let us know approximately when you will arrive. If arriving by car, you can visit the Ottawa NET office to get shuttled to the training site or go directly there. If the vehicle you will come in is your own, please be sure to have someone accompany you who can return the car home. We are not able to store vehicles for the year.

If you are an international missionary, please communicate directly with the Recruiting Department for instructions on your immigration process and to ask any questions you have about your arrival and/or stay in Canada at apply@netcanada.ca.

All missionaries will receive a monthly stipend of $125 to help offset personal costs during the year. It will be deposited into your bank account on the 1st of the month (or the Friday before if the 1st falls on a weekend). This information will be collected from you in the Missionary Information form (see Getting Started page). Contact admin@netcanada.ca with any specific questions about this.

Missionaries without a Canadian bank account will have their stipend deposited to a designated member of their team, who will then withdraw it as cash for them.

All Canadian missionaries are asked to remain on their provincial/parent’s health care plan while with NET. You are responsible for ensuring that your provincial health card is up to date before arriving at training. If you have special health considerations like asthma or diabetes, you must make your own arrangements to cover any related expenses.

Each missionary is responsible for knowing about and covering health care expenses not covered by their province of residence or private health care plans. We recommend you inform yourself of any exclusions of your health care plan(s) on your provincial or private health care website(s). Anything not covered by a missionary’s provincial health care, in or out of their province of residence, is their responsibility (e.g. ambulance charges). There are medical expenses, even in the event of an emergency, that may not be covered in some provinces if it is not a missionary’s province of residence.

NET is not held responsible for unpaid bills typically covered by insurance. 

For international missionaries, NET provides medical emergency travel insurance. You will be enrolled and provided with a policy card, policy documentation and instructions for submitting claims. In the event of a medical expense, international missionaries will be responsible for making payment and submitting claims through the plan provider within 30 days of the expense. If you have special health considerations like asthma or diabetes, you must review the information package and make special arrangements if your pre-existing condition is not covered. A session will take place during training to go over details and to answer frequently asked questions in this area.

Please contact admin@netcanada.ca if you have any questions.

If you have a valid driver’s license in your home province/country and have indicated on your information form that you would like to be considered as a driver, our Finance/Administration department (admin@netcanada.ca) will reach out to you prior to training to request a driver’s abstract (3-5 year record if applicable). You must provide a driver’s abstract to be considered as a driver.

Non-Canadian/US missionaries with a valid driver’s license must obtain an international drivers permit. This can only be done in your country of residence. Please ensure you have received it before arriving in Canada. You must provide a copy of your international drivers permit and your driver’s license to admin@netcanada.ca

Missionaries and staff of NET Canada are not permitted to drive a minor in a NET-owned vehicle. The only exception is for immediate family members.

As our technological world evolves, we must keep our eyes fixed on heavenly things. We at NET see the great asset technology can be to bring Christ to people and assist us in our mission. However, we have also seen technology distract  our missionaries. As NET missionaries, you will live out a radical ministry of presence to all those around you, and it will be one of the main ways you grow in holiness and witness the love of Christ.
