Faculty Relocation Service

The University of Toronto Faculty Relocation Service is designed to assist prospective and recently appointed tenure and tenure-stream faculty with common questions around relocating to Toronto and working at the University of Toronto. The goal of this service is to ensure that the transition to life as part of the University of Toronto is as comfortable as possible, providing consultation and information about:

• Housing, real estate, moving and banking
• Services for children including child care, schools, camps, programs and special needs
• Services for elderly family members
• Community facilities and services on and off campus
• General orientation to Toronto and the University

University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP)

The University Health Insurance Plan (UHIP) was created in 1994 to provide affordable insurance to pay the cost of the hospital and medical services that students or employees at participating universities and affiliated colleges in Ontario and their families might need to maintain their health while in Canada. The plan provides coverage comparable to that of OHIP for Ontario residents. Please contact Payroll Services for details.
