Oh of course I know we're in the middle of a pandemic. But they are indeed allowing MANY international students ( 1st time entrants to Canada ) from different countries inside at various ports of entry everyday, even though those students have FULLY ONLINE classes for the fall, which is a...

I agree.

I totally agree with all the points you've made. Stark reality but that's the unfortunate truth. I sincerely thank you for understanding the situation & my concerns regarding the issues we students are facing now. I agree we need to evaluate which risk we are ready to take. Sad. Anyway...

For those who have an AIP already for the fall term now: Do you think Canada will remove the travel restrictions to allow students inside before they reach the 50% of the program limit? I think this is an important question & nobody is asking this. Because right now, they are not even...

Oh no, I feel so sad hearing about this buddy :( Air India is just too much - randomly denying people even though we are eligible. But how will you complete 50% in November? Are you going to start studying in September or you already started in May? And which course/institution you wre...

That's so true. How I wish Canada realizes that international students are also humans, & shows some empathy towards us, our studies, our time, futures, careers, efforts, struggles, sacrifices & most importantly our lives. But no, they are into fooling everyone and keep giving AIPs, and...

Are you sure Canada will open the borders to allow international students inside by December end this year? Right now, they are not allowing even those with a full approval before March 18th, by giving lame excuses like online classes are "non-essential", and so we cannot enter now. What if...

I hope they allow all of us with approval to travel by December end this year. But what is concerning is that they've actually not stood by their own promise of exempting students with approval before March 18th from the travel ban. Now even with a full approval & visa issued before March...

Why don't you ask your institution about what they will advise you to do now? We need to put pressure on the universities & colleges to help us & make the government allow us inside. They can't just leave us in quandary like this by saying that our studies & lives are "non-essential".

I really hope they don't give up on international students' efforts, energy, struggles, sacrifices & lives. We are humans too & deserve to be treated fairly & justly with respect to the work & effort we have put in & continue to put in. But unfortunately, they are saying that online classes...

Hi! Is it possible to take a break like that in the middle of the program? I thought that taking any break will automatically make a student in-eligible for PGWP? Could you please advise? And are you planning to travel to Canada for next month, that is, Fall 2020? Cheers & best wishes!!!

Disappointing. I did not expect this from them. Their track record has actually been great till now. Methodical, fair & just. But now, their handling of international students who have not yet entered Canada ( but have applied / already obtained a full approval ) during this pandemic has been...

So true man! The least one can expect from them is some empathy & understanding towards people like us who are already going through so many other stressful issues during a pandemic. We are also humans - it's not just their citizens who deserve proper treatment & not just their own people who...

Hey! Are you sure we are allowed to take breaks? I thought taking breaks straight away disqualifies a student for PGWP?

Sure definitely! Thanks for the LinkedIn suggestion! :)

I really want to see for how long they'll keep their borders closed & say that international students should not come in because our online studies are "non-essential". If this happens even in December this year, & they say that we have to study from home for the January term too, preventing...

Hello! Yeah exactly same here! I'll start the program online only. I hope they do something & allow us to come at least by December end...

I agree with what you're saying @Mojito5 . But don't you think IRCC & CBSA need to consistent & fair in making it explicitly clear as to who will be allowed in & who will be sent back home from the border there? They allow students inside for certificate programs, who being fake letters...

Hi Shabana! Great to meet you! I'm starting studies at UVic too. Do you have any idea / information about whether they'll allow us to travel by December end this year? Thanks & cheers!

Hey Animesh! Great to meet you!! Are you planning to travel to Canada next month for starting your MTIS program in fall 2020? If so, when are you planning to travel? I'm joining UVic too! Cheers & best wishes!
