First Student Canada operated over a dozen 2008 IC CE buses which it obtained via its acquisition of Laidlaw Education Services' in 2008.

The units were originally delivered to Laidlaw Education Services' branches throughout Ontario and Alberta. The units were transitioned into First Student Canada's fleet in 2008, with most units being based in Ontario until their retirement. Several units spent their entire service lives in Alberta, beginning in Calgary. In July 2012, these units were transferred to Fort McMurray for use on the company's oil sands contracts. In May 2018, a few of these units returned to Calgary for use on regular school service once again.
