i started university 3 yrs ago and moved to community college lAst year and I was not able to show enrolment letter during boarding in Hong Kong few weeks ago. I showed them my university id and there was an expiry sticker so o got nervous and showed college id ... is that a big misrepresentation ?

What's the point of coming to Canada as an international student if you don't plan to register any courses?

 

[Tan23]

My enrollment would begin a few days after I go there officially

 

[Tan23]

Maybe I am the only one here who is not following how a 'boarding officer' at HK airport has any connection at all with Canada immigration.

Yes it is down to an airline to check that someone has a valid passport, travel visa and for example travelling on a one way ticket a permit that supports that but they as far as I am aware have no influence or possibility to feedback to Canada immigration whether someone is a genuine student or not.

Am i missing something or am I being totally stupid or is this discussion really only about an airlines boarding policy ?
