Anyone travelled to canada without LOI ? How was your experience ?
Hello, did you get an answer to this question? I have a student visa stamped on my passport, however, CIC has not updated nor sent me an LOI, and I am traveling tomorrow. Please help what can I do?

Hi. After picking up my passport from visa office, CIC sent me LOI(correspondence letter) on gc key account after 5-6 hours, they didn't mail me about any update on gc key account, I checked randomly. At immigration, they asked me nothing just took the letter and after 5 mins I got my study permit. LOI is very crucial I would say, otherwise they will check your all required documents I think. LOI has a number which allows them to issue study permit immediately.

Thank you for your quick response. I picked up my passport on Friday at the VAC with the Visa. I have been checking my GCKey account randomly too every fee minutes since then nothing yet. I have mailed them and sent them CSEs to no avail. My flight is tomorrow night. I'll visit the consulate tomorrow morning myself to ask for the letter.

Please kindly update me if you get any information on anyone that arrived at the POE without the LOI. THANK YOU

I would suggest you submit case specific query via web form, ask them to send you LOI. They reply quickly here. Web form link - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

Thank you for your response and suggestion. I have done that. I sent it immediately I got my passport on Friday, and I repeated it yesterday. My Visa was issued in London, so I sent the CSE there, however, I applied through the Lagos visa office, so I sent another there too. Thank you for replying my queries
