Hi everyone,
I'm an Indian Ph.D. student in Quebec. My study permit and visa expire on the 31st of August. I have a CAQ that is valid until Sept. 2020. I need to leave to the UK for a conference at the end of July. The CIC website indicates that it will take up to 33 business days to renew my permit and visa.
What if I don't receive the new documents on time before I leave to the UK? I plan to re-enter Canada before the 31st of August but I'm worried that I will be denied re-entry.
1. Will I be allowed to enter Canada if my visa expires on the 31st of August and I return before expiry?
2. Should I try flagpoling? Will they renew both permit and visa at the border?
Thank you,
