Hi guys! I am enrolled in a program that is less than 6 months in duration (22 weeks) according to the IRCC website i will not need a study permit but i am wondering when I am allowed to enter the country if I have the acceptance letter. There is a test entry for the course on the 10th of October and the courses begin on the 30th october. Can I enter canada on september 30th for example without the permit?

Thank You for the responses!

Hello, holy_fluffy! What is your Nationality? You can enter Canada via 2 options: 1. Apply for a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) if you are from a country that requires visa to enter Canada; and 2. Apply for an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA). This is the entry requirement for visa-exempt foreign nationals and will travel to Canada by air :)

I'm from Pakistan, liiving in UAE, either of which are not a visa-exmpt countries last I checked which means I can just travel to canada without the permit correct?

No - you need to apply for the TRV in advance. You cannot get one when you enter Canada. You are from a non-visa exempt country. This means you need a TRV to board the plane and fly to Canada. Without a TRV, the airline will refused you boarding.

Ms. Scylla is correct. Plus, you have to apply now if you need to be in Canada by October 10 for the entrance test :)

You can upload here the Acceptance Letter you mentioned plus if you are going to stay in a relative's or friend's place you ask an invitation letter from them. What has been said here is 1K CAD per week of stay + airfare. If no one will accommodate you in Canada then include in your expenses the accommodation plus the tuition you have to pay for your study. :)

In addition, based on CIC website, the processing time for TRV application from UAE is 51 days so I think there will be a time constraint on your application.

Hi u seem to be quite knowledgeable about this :D so i'm just gonna ask you, I firstly applied for my study permit for a different uni in computer science but I got denied the visa this month and im reapplying with a stronger application for a different learning institute and an English program college degree becuase i lost my placement in the other uni i have paid my fees as well as residence, do you think there will be a problem in issuing the study visa for 6 months. Thank you!
