Arrived today in Toronto. Easy as a breeze. 14 day quarantine starts now.

As promised, I'm here to respond to any questions.
Can you apply for SIN at Toronto Still is the counter open.

Which country did you travel from ? India, if India, do they need a COVID negative report ?

I still haven't started looking in to getting the SIN yet.

I live in Oman and had a transit of 3 hours in Dubai. No PCR test was required.

Congrats on your smooth arrival. Please what was the final validity on your permit? Was it amended past your program end date without hassle?

Thank you.
The validity of the study permit is the same as the what's on the counterfoil. I didn't ask for anything different. If there is a need to extend then it can be done 2 months before the expiry date in approximately 4 years.

Letter of Introduction is the main one. They also asked for the Quarantine plan. The next statement was; do you have any other documents? Which was when the university's Entry Letter and Proof of Funds were handed over.

The LOI is the document you receive in your GC KEY account when your visa (counterfoil) is issued to you after sending your passport. It's a letter from the Canadian authorities, not the uni.

Hi All,

I am currently working in Montreal and my son got an admission in Carleton University, Ottawa. His Study permit application is in progress now and expected to get the approval and Visa stamped at the latest by next month. He is currently in India now. Few questions

1) Does he have to land in Ontario to get Study Permit or if he lands in Montreal can he get Study permit?
2) What type of documents he needs to have in hand for getting Study Permit?

It's not possible to get the SP approval in time for winter 2021 as the processing times have surged to 36 weeks due to 2020 backlogs.

"Even with expanded hours of operation at the VACs, not all students will be able to enrol their biometrics and have their application finalized before their January classes start. "

Normal processing times no longer apply , you can check at :

Did they ask for the UHIP (health insurance) card to be presented to them along with all the other documents?

I handed over the UHIP card printout along with the rest of documents before they asked for it specifically. My guess is they would have wanted to see that I am insured.
