    How to access My SSP outside of Canada or the United States

    Students can connect with a student support advisor via chat and call while traveling outside of Canada and the U.S.

    To use chat, you must have access to your provider network (data) or a Wi-Fi connection.

    The chat function through the free My SSP app works as it would if you were accessing it from within Canada or the U.S. If you are experiencing difficulties, check your internet connectivity. Some countries may have additional firewall protections in place that block certain apps. If this is the case, consider calling in to keep.meSAFE instead.

    There are two options for making a call to keep.meSAFE outside of Canada or the U.S.

    1. Make an international call using your phone service provider network. International calling charges can be applied in one of two ways:
      • Student calls directly from My SSP app or direct (001-416-380-6579). To call internationally, you must have international calling enabled on your phone. International calling charges apply.
      • You may opt to “call collect” to have the charges reversed back to keep.meSAFE. Find the collect call service for the country in which you are located, dial the number and request to make a collect call to 001-416-380-6579. My SSP will accept the charges and you will be connected to a student support advisor.
        • Be aware that when using the call collect option, the keep.meSAFE auto-attendant messaging is bypassed and you will be connected directly with a representative. Please explain that you are a student looking to access the keep.meSAFE services from outside Canada/U.S.
    2. Call via Wi-Fi connection*. To call via Wi-Fi, certain conditions must be met:
      • You must be using a Wi-Fi-calling capable phone.
        • Wi-Fi calling must be turned on.
      • Your service provider supports Wi-Fi calling.
      • Troubleshooting: If you are unable to make or receive Wi-Fi calls, it may be due to one of the following reasons:
        • Device does not support Wi-Fi calling
        • Device does not have the latest system update available
        • Service plan does not include Wi-Fi calling
        • Emergency address for Wi-Fi calling not set up (service providers are required by FCC to support 911 calls and collect a registered location to enable the service)
        • The Wi-Fi calling setting is turned off in device settings
        • Wi-Fi calling is blocked on user’s phone line
        • No Wi- Fi network connection

    Find more information about Wi-Fi calling, including links to major U.S. carriers policies.

    *Making calls over Wi-Fi can still use your regular minutes allowance. Your call may be charged as an international call depending on your phone plan. Read the policies of your carrier to see if there are any potential restrictions and charges related to your situation.

     

We provide a range of health services for your physical and mental health, wellness programs and information to help support you in achieving your personal and academic goals.
