Hello,
I'm looking for a bit of advice.
We have an exchange student from Denmark, who arrived on the 20th of December in Montreal/Quebec, after a long delay to get all documents ready. We'd like to do a trip to the USA in March, and bring him with us. However, his situation was a bit unique and we want to verify he can re-enter the country.
To give you some context, he was a "special" case, because even though he had his CAQ, he hasn't received his Study Permit. But, because he only had 6 months left in his school, he was authorised to enter Canada with a combination of CAQ + eTA. A week after arriving, his Study Permit got processed and emailed to him. However, he hasn't used this paper in the airport just yet.

Looking at his documents, he has a visitor document issued by the immigration office when he arrived here in Montreal, and this document says that he isn't authorised re-entry using this document alone. But, he has a valid eTA until 2025, AND he has his new student permit that he hasn't "used" yet.
Finally, another concern was the medical exams. By the time we go to USA in March, his medical exams would have been performed for over 12 months. Would that be a problem? Looking at his new student permit, it says "Medical Examination Validity: N/A", so I am not sure if it matters that it would have been over 12 months. Also, by the time he re-enters Canada, he would only have 3 months left at school, so potentially a need of a valid medical exam is no longer necessary then?
TL
R - Does anyone have had an exchange student in a similar situation, and do you know if this would allow him to re-enter Canada after a short trip to USA?
Thank you!
