ISIC卡的奥妙 知道什么是ISIC卡吗？全世界120多个国家的450万的学生都在使用，一卡在手，游遍全球。关键是，在全球范围内可以享受到四万多种服务的打折优惠，是不是心动了？ISIC卡全称是TheInternationalStudentIdentityCard，全球学生身份卡，学生们拿着这张卡可以在全球旅行、购物、乘车、用餐等等时享受会员制的打折，没有国籍限制。例如，在加拿大旅行，如果乘坐灰狗或火车，用ISIC卡可以有更多打折。ISIC开卡费是20加币，但如果是加拿大注册在校的学生就可以免费办理，持卡者需是学生本人，如果卡的信息有误，再次申请，也是免费的。办理此卡所需资料：年满12周岁的全职学生一张近期护照照片（3.5×3.0cm）信用卡学校的全职在读证明和学生证出生日期证明（如：护照、出生证等）全职在校学生，是指在校学习至少半年时间，每周在校学习至少16小时。在加拿大，一些大学的国际办公室可以办理ISIC卡，大学名单附后。ISIC发卡时间是在每年秋季入学9月1日，可以使用到下一年的12月31号，有效期16个月。有效期过后，学生可以重新申请办卡。ISIC卡的姐妹卡有IYIC卡（InternationalYouthTravelCard，国际青年旅行卡）和ITIC卡（InternationalTeacherIdentityCard，国际老师身份卡）。12岁到30岁之间可以申请IYIC卡，全职的教师（至少执教一年，每周工作时间至少18小时）可以申请ITIC卡。IYIC和ITIC卡可以享受到ISIC卡类似的打折服务。在多伦多，使用ISIC卡，无论是本地学生、留学生或者来加拿大旅行的学生，可以享受到的打折服务有：（仅是举例说明）休闲娱乐业：TorontoSportsCentre(366YongeStreet)                                      折扣15%美容健康业：AlexCuts(424BloorStStreet)                                                        折扣10%（全部服务）TheBodyShop                                                                                折扣10% (所有商品)OttwayHerbs&Vitamins                                                                 折扣10% (商品正常价位上折扣)SalonOne                                                                                       免费理发和免费发型设计餐饮服务业：BupphaThaiRestaurant(110QueenStE)                                    每餐提供2份免费的春卷KensingtonNaturalBakery(460BloorStWest)                              折扣10%(全店食物)TasteofNature(380BloorStreetWest)                                          折扣10%(全店食物)TopSushi  (185CollegeStreet)                                                     折扣10%(仅限现金)零售服务业：FedExOffice                                                                                   彩印0.2加币，黑白打印0.02加币，其它服务都是30%折扣SleepCountryCanada                                                                    消费满100加币减20使用ISIC卡，会员可以得到24小时全天候紧急服务，例如，旅行在外，出现紧急情况，拨打ISIC服务电话，在世界的各大洲都会得到及时的指导，而且ISIC工作人员服务电话是4种语言服务：英语、法语、西班牙语、德语。此外，ISIC还为学生提供法律帮助和医疗咨询。可以申请ISIC卡的学校：BritishColumbia                                                                             NewBrunswickCamosunCollege                                                                           MountAllisonUniversityDouglasCollege                                                                             UniversitédeMonctonCollegeofNewCaledonia                                                               UniversityofNewBrunswick(FrederictonGSA)NorthIslandCollegeNorthwestCommunityCollegeOkanaganCollegeSelkirkCollegeThompsonRiversUniversityVancouverCommunityCollegeVancouverIslandUniversityOntarioAlgomaUniversity                                                                         CarletonUniversityLaCitécollegiale                                                                        GeorgeBrownCollegeLakeheadUniversity                                                                   LaurentianUniversityLoyalistCollege                                                                          NipissingUniversityOntarioCollegeofArtandDesign                                               Universitéd’Ottawa(SFUO)Universitéd’Ottawa(GSA)                                                          Queen’sUniversity(Destinations)Queen’sUniversity(SGPS)                                                         RyersonUniversitySaintPaulUniversity                                                                   SenecaCollege(InternationalEducationDept.)St.LawrenceCollege                                                                  UniversityofToronto(UTSU)UniversityofToronto(GSU)                                                        UniversityofToronto(UTMSU)TrentUniversity                                                                           UniversityofWesternOntario(SOGS)UniversityofWindsor(UWSA)                                                    UniversityofWindsor(GSS)YorkUniversity(GlendonCollege)                                              YorkUniversity(GSA)YorkUniversity(YFS)ManitobaBrandonUniversity                                                                  UniversityofManitoba(UMSU)UniversityofManitoba(GSA)                                                  UniversitéSt.BonifaceUniversityofWinnipeg                                                              rinceEdwardIslandUniversityofPrinceEdwardIslandNovaScotiaUniversityofKing’sCollege                                                   MountSaintVincentUniversityNSCADUniversity                                                                 UniversitéSainteAnneNewfoundlandandLabrador                                                 MemorialUniversity(GrenfellCollege)MemorialUniversity
