If you are planning on coming to Toronto and would like to play football, we would love to have you join our club. Feel free to surf around the site and learn more about us, or email us at brc_gaelicfootball@hotmail.com and we will get back to you right away.
Brampton is only a 30-minute drive from Toronto, so whether you decide to stay in Brampton or Toronto, arrangements can be made to get you to training and games.
Every year many students contact us and many of them have the same questions. This page is intended to give you a little info to help you get set up for your stay.
Scantions & Transfers
Both men’s and ladies players are required to either have a sanction or transfer from their home Clubs processed before they can play in Toronto. If you need help acquiring those documents, we can help you out.
The Toronto GAA also has a by-law in affect that limits the amount of sanctioned or transferred players they can have on their team There is plenty of room among the whole association for summer students. However, if you would like to secure a place on a team it is recommended that you approach the club you are interested in A.S.A.P.
Accomodation
Brampton is only a half hour outside of Toronto. We can help you to make living arrangements in Brampton or Toronto. We can also provide you with a place to stay for your first week in Canada if you have not secured a place before you arrive. Many students traveling for the summer stay in various residence buildings on the University of Toronto campus. The university is right in the heart of Toronto and is a very large school with many options for accommodation. A good place to start your search would be the U of T website and search "summer accommodation". You will be given plenty of links to research. If you are interested in something more long term or something other than a university dorm, you may want to check out a local newspapers website. The Toronto Star or the Toronto Sun are good resources as well as Renters News.

Jobs
The best advice we can give is to get yourself a visa (watch out for deadlines for students visas, work visas are available year round) and get out here as soon as you can because trying to find a job while you are not in the country can be challenging. If you do not have a visa contact us to see what we can do to help. The two newspapers mentioned above for accommodation are also places you can search for jobs. You can also use websites like the ones listed bellow to search for jobs in Brampton or Toronto. There are also some agencies that we have direct contact with, as well as YES and government employment centres to check out once you are here.
