Hi friend,

Your visa period is 4+ years, but student visa is valid only for 2 years right.. ?
correct me if i am wrong.

And manank, i am also planning to move canada via Student visa ? i need some genuine details brother, can you share your email ids please ?

Nope, it depends on your course. Mine's for 4 years.
And no, I don't want to settle in Canada, just going for my bachelor's.

For me , I think you should wait till July, which is roughly a month before ur class , with these u will definitely have no problem at the Point of Entry.

How does June end sound?

June is still too early , wait till July , since I believe at the Point of Entry , they will check thru ur admission letter and since it is like a month to resumption U will scale thru it easily and effortlessly , compare to U going by June

No one here can tell you for certain what will happen.

There's certainly a chance that you will have no problems entering Canada early. However we've also seen one or two stories on this forum where people were denied entry into Canada because they arrived too far ahead of the start of their classes. In these cases the immigration officer suspected they were coming early to work illegally, sent them home and told them to return closer to the start of their studies.

Quite disturbing will be for the people who are not coming from their home countries but from ciuntry of their residents..!!!!!
