Rather odd, a few things seem confusing... why did you not appear at the officers booth together as couple? I have never seen couples split up when waiting in line to be processed for immigration at any entry point into Canada I have ever been. Usually couples and families are processed together...

bump - anyone traveled with their study permit approved after March 18 and could enter Canada? I got the "essential travel" part covered but am still too chicken to go through the US just to be refused at the Canadian border to give it a try even though air tickets HK -> Seattle are pretty...

Any link to credible sources that confirm this or is this just your wish or hunch?

Eh, this is proper RCMP work right there my friend. :)

Loved your reasoning behind how you booked the quarantine hotel. I am thinking of doing the exact same. Thanks for sharing your experience

Well, you got the opinions and thoughts of a pretty kind forum member. I have also a friend who was impacted by DUI, unfortunately on the other end of the stick. It is great that you show compassion for your friend, but it would also have been nice if you showed equal compassion for the...

I am German and live in Hong Kong. You are right, I should have been more precise. The US currently does not allow those to enter the US who stayed in certain countries over the past 14 days. Regardless of citizenship.

I received the letter of introduction around April 10.

Yes the passport gets stamped at the port of entry of course but not prior. Yes, I thought of this duration minimum term as well though at the moment its strangely missing.

Well I want to avoid costly mistakes such as flying half around the world only to be refused at entry to Canada. That's why I raised the question to see whether anyone else has done so or whether my English comprehension is letting me down...

I am not aware that any international students get a stamp in their passport prior to arrival. International students receive an online document on the CIC online platform which they need to print out and hand in at immigration when they enter Canada. Only then will students receive their study...

Hong Kong is specially exempt from the travel restriction into the US (though travel from mainland China is currently not permitted) and a flight from Hong Kong via Vancouver transit, meaning not entering Canada at that point but simply transiting, to Seattle is cheaper than the same flight but...

That's not how it works. To get the study permit one must first enter Canada with the study permit approval letter. Only then one will be handed the study permit. I try to avoid flying around the globe only to find out that my entry is COVID restricted. Hence my question about entering from the...

That is my understanding of the wording. But it makes me still wonder because in this case would not any foreign national who can enter the US not just do exactly that and then cross the border into Canada while flying into Canada would not be allowed for anyone whose study permit has been...

So what you are saying is that you believe "coming from the US" refers to Americans or non Americans who have lived in the US and cross into Canada? But then why would the Canadian border services not specifically say that? Instead it just states "foreign nationals coming from the US..."

So, what does "come from the United States" then mean? Can I as German citizen fly from Hongkong via Vancouver (transit only) to Seattle then rent a car and drive to the Canadian border and get my study permit and proceed to my quarantine place? Let's ignore whether I can or cannot enter the US...

You may be misunderstanding the situation perhaps? I do not have a valid study permit. I was approved for a study permit after March 18. But that is aside the point. My question is specifically about anyone who enters Canada coming from the US. The above government link clearly does not...

Based on? Care to elaborate please?

I contacted them by email and received a canned answer basically stating that they can't comment on individual cases ;-(

Your study permit might get approved in time but how do you plan on entering Canada? Unless you enter through the US (which I am actually not 100% sure of is possible) you can't currently enter Canada as your permit will clearly be approved post March 18. Hence, why the hurry re study permit?
