Doing my best to secure this at the moment! I heard this was a key element.

Gotcha. Just wondering about anyone who might’ve somehow gotten onto the plane but denied entry. Thanks!

Hi, I’m sorry to hear about your story. I know many of us here are going through a lot, and I appreciate you sharing your story. I just want to ask - you mentioned US students are getting in easily, what do you mean by that?

If you’ve been turned around in Canada when trying to get through the port of entry with a study permit LOI, can you please share which airport and whether you had to pay for your return flight? Thanks

Yes, that’s my hope since that’s my situation - however, not having the full study permit approval is the riskiest part for me. Hopefully once I’m there things will start making more sense and they can take my new application into consideration.

Totally. Thankfully the lawyer told me “you can do this yourself” and then told me the “key element” which is a letter from my school stating in-person courses/program. That made me trust the lawyer a bit more because he wasn’t telling me I needed a lawyer, and even said “not even a lawyer can...

That’s exactly what I’m trying to find out as well. It seems like it’s one of those things that you can take a chance on (by you I mean US citizens) but it’s a big risk. The lawyer mentioned that many people were trying to do it this way, though.

I am also looking for a link - I had an immigration lawyer tell me today that POE applicants from the US have been successful, but it’s still up to the officer and therefore risky. Unfortunately I can’t find anything online about it - but as hjkojima mentioned, it’s probably kept on the down low.

Can they reimburse you if you decide to pay and then end up staying in India?

Hi, I received the same email - what university are you planning to attend? I personally am not opting out - though it’s a lot of money, it makes more sense in my case since I am doing all I can to get there and I’m coming from the US (which has it’s own exemption right now, potentially making...

Has anyone successfully applied for and gotten approved for a study permit at the border recently (July - now) from the US?

Re: universities that will cancel admission - no idea on that front.

Since no one else has replied I will share more. It may just be because after getting an AIP one is more likely to be approved for the full permit. I’m guessing people on here have been waiting for a long time and have decided that if they don’t receive even just an AIP before their school’s...

And to your second question: I’m not sure, but I applied later than many people (July 10) as a US citizen from the US and already received my AIP - I’m in a MA program

I’m not entirely sure if this is correct, but I think you can’t legally start school online without an AIP...or at least, I imagine that’s true because the letter specifically notes “you may commence your studies online.”

Hi all, Does anyone have a general idea of what goes in a letter of support from universities during this time? I’m planning to ask my uni for one indicating that my presence is necessary for my studies (which is true) but wondering what in particular I should ask for. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. As it seems, both of you encountered convincing information and they are, as is now common in relation to traveling to Canada in general, very different things. I appreciate both responses - I’m about to speak with someone myself to confirm what’s available to me...

Hi all, I’ve been picking up from the forums and IRCC language that study permits won’t be approved until travel is opened up - but I know the US faces a unique situation where those with study permits issued after March 18 are still allowed to travel to Canada for essential purposes (including...

Wait, I thought IRCC was prioritizing fall study permit applications - why is everyone saying stage 2 will happen after fall?
