yes I travelled 2 times where I should have it with me but I didn't, everything went smooth at the border
2007 and 2015
just explain to them that you never got it, its not a big deal and I don't think you should delay your travel because of it
I think you are making it difficult, just get a new enrolment letter from your school with the new graduation date (i.e 2018 graduation date ) and you should be good to go, they don't need to know about your maternity leave
It is not Required and you can fly to Canada without it, officers at the POE will ask if you got one, will not deny you entry if you don't
Just have letter of enrolment ready and all good to go
You are completely right, I cross the border last week with only copy of study permit as those guys are taking forever to have my permit amendment.

my brother got study permit in 10 days
so I would say you shouldn't wait too long
check with ICBC website and you should get answer to most of your question.
What i know is that you are allowed to use your car with its US plate number as long as you are full time student.
one other thing is to import the car into Canada pay the required brokerage fees and all taxes but this...
You have to log in to your CIC profile and follow the instruction on how to submit your passport,
You need to apply for TRV, I don't know if you apply for visitor record or TRV
Other option, if you really want to buy ticket, try to find one ticket that is refundable, in case things went south
They are really that cheap now, just purchase mine for $1185 return from Middle East to Vancouver !!
