Hi! My situation is the same. My study starts in January, but i’m planning to enter Canada in February. For January, My plan is to study online from Turkey. In the latest email from my college, they say:
“Seneca’s approval to welcome international students does not impact any other temporary government policy changes that are still in effect. For example: international students can continue to study online from their home countries, with the time counting toward the Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP), until April 30, 2021. Please visit the Government of Canada
website for PGWP eligibility details.“
So, i didn’t have any hesitation until i saw your post here.
