Can i travel if my studies are online?

[cee4815]

Hi,

They say that students can travel if their university is in the Covid readiness plan, their program is not cancelled or suspended, and that they are coming to study.

What if I am taking courses during the Summer, but my courses are online? Can i still enter Canada?

I am choosing to arrive early because I need to start looking for internship/part-time opportunities before graduating next year, therefore need to apply for SIN etc.

Appreciate your help

Thanks

Hey Tapperb

Always to the rescue.

Good to know. Was worried that Border officer may ask "Why are you coming if you can take your classes online from home?" although this statement makes sense.

Just wanted to double-check before I do all the reservations. Putting down almost USD 2,000 for 14 days, ridiculous.

Thanks anyways

If the officer asks you why are you coming when your studies are online, say that the time-zone difference (if there is one) is causing me a lot of stress in attending lectures and doing exams and maybe also say the internet is not stable in your home country and that's hurting your grades. give them something they may send you back if you don't give them anything. and don't freak out if you get scrutinized in the airport

I see

You reasons do sound solid. Will definitely use them if questioning gets out of hand

Thank you very much!

You also need your 3 day hotel quarantine booked and 11 day quarantine plan in place.

That's where most of the USD 2,000 is going towards, unfortunately lol

But thanks for the dreaded reminder Naturgrl
