Early travel
- Thread starter rush13
- Start date
Hi Ironclad, I am going 37 days prior to the beginning of my course. Will that be a problem?
Course starting on- May 17, 2021
Air Canada flight- April 9, 2021
I am getting very worried.
hi Prabhat, just spoke to someone who reached Canada on the of 15th March and course starts on 3rd may, which is about 45 days , he said he had no issues whatsoever.
but be sure to speak to more people about this
Very odd usually spring intakes have start dates between May 1st or 3rd (including mine)
Like @rush13 said one can push it to 45 days but its not encouraged, around 35 day range is just suggestive.
Rush, thank you so much. You have no idea how much you have helped me by answering this and that too so quickly. I appreciate it.
Thank you Ironclad for your quick response. God bless you both for answering my question so quickly.
I agree with about the starting dates of may intakes but I am going to Conestoga College for Global supply chain management (Brantford Campus) and on the acceptance letter it says course starting date May 17, 2021.
There are accounts of people travelling earlier than 45 days pre-covid, don't think its an issue at all nowadays.
The 3 week prior guideline is rumour that has been around for ages.
I take my comment back as the recent situation at the Toronto POE is changing. I was questioned why I arrived so early for May 2021 intake however I manged to tackle the officer giving legal reasons.
However in the next counter, saw one guy (winter 2021 intake) getting 3 months study permit where the female officer was unreasonable saying illogical reasons saying to extend if he passes the first semester. She is a familiar face at the Toronto airport.

Thanks for the update. Glad to know that you were allowed.May I know what reason did you give for early arrival? If that's okay with you, since I might have to deal with the same situation so it might help.
Essential travel letter saying inperson/blended classes are necessary, showing funds for the early stay, and if you have any relatives in Canada it helps.
I would appreciate If some wise folks help me. I already started my classes last fall, so If I travel right now in summer breaks it shouldn't be a problem right?
