Inquiry Regarding Landing Requirements and Procedures for Study Permit Holders in Canada

[Markus Gillian]

1. Is it mandatory to land specifically at Toronto Pearson International Airport for study permit holders, or can I choose any designated port of entry in Canada?
2. Are there any restrictions or preferences regarding the airport of entry for study permit holders?
3. Can I land at Calgary International Airport if I have relatives residing in Calgary who will show me around and drop me off at my college in Barrie?
4. What are the correct procedures and guidelines I should follow to smoothly enter Canada and begin my studies?

1. You can land at any Port Of Entry.
2. No.
3. Yes. So your relatives are driving you 3000+km (and then back so 7000Km in total for your relatives) from Calgary to Barrie. That is not dropping you off. That is an across the country road trip.
4. Have all documentation ready To present.

I haven't bought a ticket yet. What if I use transit at the Toronto airport and then I land in Calgary? I plan to go a month before my classes start.

Sure you can do that. You may be asked to show that you are returning to Toronto to study.
