I agree and can appreciate most all of the points that you made. If there ever was a phase-in I would say giving graduate students and PhDs the first go would make perfect sense.

Thank you so much for understanding and for giving your inputs here! I truly appreciate!


And yes, I hope & wish they give grad & PhD students a priority & that this really happens as soon as possible, so that we can be relieved of all this unnecessary stress and get on with our work & lives!

Colleges have become a money making scheme in Canada. They are issuing out these letters so that students do not ask for refunds. It is all about profit. Some guy said that they issued him a 'mandatory classes letter' and told him that it was going to be all online.

Oh man that's incredibly sad. A pandemic reveals the facile nature of everything around us - rules, regulations, institutions, government departments. I wish it hadn't gone to this low though. Education and learning deserve a standard to be met - not like this.


Why aren't IRCC & CBSA taking note of what these colleges are doing? Why aren't they taking any action?

I doubt they know. When the public institutions in question are sending students these letters, then I guess they take their word for it

Again, that's really sad and unfortunate.

But how I wish they get to know about all this!

In a pandemic situation like this, with things rapidly changing everyday and so much uncertainty, it doesn't help at all if the CBSA officer just merely looks at a letter, and allows entry right-away. They also need to VERIFY the truth of the contents.

Hope they fix this lapse ASAP.

Some guy out of over 100,000 new students is hardly statistically noteworthy, not even a hundred such accounts. If you found even 10 such accounts would you mind linking to such circumstantial evidence?

They actually do in many cases. Many border agents go to the actual course websites and verify whether the courses are taught online or in person. Any DLI which even alters and misrepresents its delivery methods on their own websites should have their license revoked.

That's again a completely unrelated issue. Nothing of what we talked about has at all to do with why decisions are not yet made. I will try to put you on ignore, most every of your posts makes no logical sense and is incoherent.

nope they must be sleeping along with ircc, that's why we don't have our decision yet.

100% yes.


The current scenario with colleges doing whatever they're doing really needs to stop for everyone's good. If the border agents are visiting the course/institution website, then, they should continue doing that consistently and really follow-up on this issue of fake letters of support.


However, I have to admit that these letters are worded very well & seem convincing too. The unsuspecting will easily give in. But they are fake/false nevertheless. Saw a student post such a letter as a reply to one of IRCC's official handle tweets. What's happening with this world ? :(

These are all posts made by people here as well as on twitter. I wonder whether those count for circumstantial evidence...?

I'm not sure. I hope they do count though.

I'm not gonna waste my time linking 10 accounts. If you want to believe then you are welcome, otherwise don't. I couldn't care less lol. The threads are on this forum if you look for them
