Did any one apply for student visa without having accommodation

[natasha12345]

Hi all can you tell me whether anyone applied without first having accommodation, i have enough fund for tuition and living expense. however i want to wait till i get there to get accommodations by renting an apartment.

Can you share your experience and whether you got your visa approved?

Any person from the Caribbean applied this way? I am applying to the Trinidad and Tobago Office

Thanks

I came to canada by myself and i think that it was the best thing i did. No regrets.

The new landlord waited for me enough to be in Canada and sign the rental contract... But with the unexpected delay of my student permit (10 weeks now)... I lost my chances to rent his apartment. I have to search for another one. You can apply without accommodation... you never know when to get the visa/student permit.

My advice to you... after reading tons of comments on this forum... is to apply paper-based and stay away from the "Online" thing!
Although the online sounds more accurate and professional... unfortunately, it is not the case for this service. Good luck

I would suggest you to be in touch with someone who is already in Canada to either arrange for a temporary accommodation or if your University/College offers temporary accommodation then go for it. Once you land in Canada and have met a handful of seniors/classmates you'll be in a better position to look for a good apartment to rent!

Do you have any accommodations suggestions, i need a letter or a an intend to rent letter before i apply

Actually as far as i know i dont think you need to show any details about your accommodation but in case your lawyer says its necessary why dont you go for any short term accommodation? I dont know how far it will work out but atleast you can show the VO u have a place to stay once you land in Canada.

I tired looking at that but i have no family in canada so that is alittle challenging

you could always book something on airbnb or hostelworld for maybe 2 weeks or a month

obviously go for the cancellation friendly options. you can get something for 13-20$ a day max.

But can anyone confirm this because I wasn't even aware you had to show confirmed accommodation. Just funds to be able to obtain it once there
