Pre-Approval
If an Exchange 淫妻社or (EV) will be employed and paid by 淫妻社, the first step is to contact HR for approval and to determine an appropriate start date (at least 60 days out) according to their scheduled orientation (orientation date should be used as start date).
If an EV will not be employed and paid by 淫妻社, the department can immediately submit a request to OISSS.
The Exchange 淫妻社or's arrival date and start date are not the same. Scholars may arrive up to 30 days before the start of their program and must arrive at least 2 weeks early for screening if they are an employee at the Health Science Campus.
