If you're a US citizen, as far as I know, you could apply for a study permit right at the time of crossing border at point of entry and get it straight away. I am 99% certain that you can do that.McPhil said:
I applied to the New York office as well, and my application was received last Thursday. I'm an American Citizen. I'm hoping it doesn't actually take 30 days. I start on January 7th as well.
I only submitted a photocopy. I'm an American citizen so I wasn't required to send in the original. Although I did have the photocopy notarized by a public notary.mrp1986 said:
I did not have to send my passport because I am an American, I only had to send notarized photocopies.McPhil said:
Good news! I got an email today from the visa office in New York which stated that I should have a decision by December 17th. My application was received on the 29th of November at 11:47am. Here's what the email said incase it will be helpful to anyone else:

Yes I did. They emailed me a letter and said I was approved and to present the letter upon arrival to Canada and my study visa would be issued then. I flew into Toronto yesterday and had no problems getting through customs at all. They directed me to the immigration office inside the airport where they issued my visa. Easiest process ever.mrp1986 said:
