Hi, hope someone can help me with this.
A friend lodged his visa in Oct 2022 for the Jan 2023 intake. Unfortunately, he experienced delays in his medical exam because he had to do a sputum test in December 2022, then do a repeat chest X-ray in March 2023, which means it will be impossible for him to attend the classes in Jan 2023. He sent a deferral request to School A but the school didn't grant the request since deferral to the new academic year in Sep 2023 is not allowed. So, he withdrew his application from School A and got a refund. In March 2023, his visa was approved in relation to his old admission to School A and is valid from Jan 2023 until 2025.
Now he has two options:
1. Continue his application to School B offering the same course in Sep 2023 and apply for a new visa soon; or
2. Submit a new application to School A for the same program he withdrew from but for Sep 2023 intake this time, then enter Canada with his existing TRV
Is the second option possible? We understand that the permit will depend on the new LOA anyway, but won't this cause any problems at the border?
Thank you for anyone who will answer.
