Early arrival to Canada

It's very strange that with your level of exposure with all this you still think the validity of the study permit is mentioned in the LOI.

Have to agree with @Bishops2020 here. On the second page of LOI (right on the very top), there is a text specifically for the border officer to scan in order to print study permit and it has the validity date (which is the sp expiry date)

Nah.... Those are the details of your TRV.

 

[janesama]

Nah.... Those are the details of your TRV.

Doubt so, why do they need TRV dates if you have a counterfoil right in your passport? I requested GCMS notes and these dates are identical to the actual SP dates (not counterfoil - TRV, those are two different documents)

Did you enter Canada already?

Not yet, my journey will be on Nov 16th. So we are double checking docs, hopefully nothing is gonna change before our date and it would be not super nerve wracking at the Canadian border but I’ll post my story on the thread

So what SP are you referring to where the dates are identical to the Counterfoil? You don't have a SP yet if you haven't traveled to Canada.

I haven't, but when you were approved the dates for your Study Permit are stored inside of GCMS notes, as well as conditions of it. If you don't believe it that's alright, but this is what I am referring to:

For officer use

TYPE: Permit - SP / Permis - PE
Document number: #000000000
Validity (YYYY/MM/DD): date
Must enter Canada by (YYYY/MM/DD): date

If they would create SP just for you, then imagine how long would they need to prepare it. Your SP is stored in the system and all an officer does it decide whether you are who you actually are and you are doing in Canada what you said you would

Thanks for the details. I'm not sure that is entirely accurate even though what you're saying does make sense. However, the way it's worded on the IRCC website makes you think the CBSA officer has quite a bit of say in the validity.
@jigzyy can you give us your thoughts?

Are you travelling for winter 2021?

This is what I copied and pasted up above but it didn't format too well, it just happens to be what is in GCMS notes too!

I had a study permit myself 3 decades ago, I actually don't think it's even changed since then, the study permits still look the same.

Good luck. My daughter's flight is booked, her transport is booked and her quarantine room booked. Just need to get to France now to travel.
