Are you facing the same issue?

I know 4 people whose visa got invalid on the same day (8 October), we all have tourist visa as well.
Yes, I renewed my visa in august, it was deactivated on October 7. I went home in September and now got stuck and waitng for new dli list

That's weird how most of our visa changed on 7-8 october.

One of them was even denied to board the plane.

Let's hope for the best, you're not alone. Dont worry.

I mentioned on the webform that my DLI is on the list, hopefully that can change something.

Let's hope your DLI is on the list as well tomorrow.

So I was approved for a study permit before March 18 2020 for May 2020 intake.

Due to Covid I decided to defer to September. I tried entering Canada in early June but was unfortunately turned back in Toronto (was allowed on the plane but turned away in Canada). The officer said I was coming too early and said to try two weeks before school starts (but didn't guarantee anything).

So. I'm going to try again next week but when I looked at my IRCC account it says my counterfoil document (the stamp in my passport) was updated as invalid on July 5th 2020. I don't know why this happened? Is it related to being denied at the Canadian border?

I just don't understand why? What can I do now? I can't fly if it's invalid right? For reference the counterfoil expires July 31 2021 and it is multiple entry.

I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
