Going to Canada Before 3-4 week window

[waleed271]

Hi guys, hope all of you are doing well this evening !!!
I just wanted to come on here and ask real quick, if I were to go to Canada let’s say 5 weeks early before my classes start, would that be a problem? Seeing that i am a returning student who has spent the past year studying online (I have not yet made my study permit), but I do have a student visa. Furthermore, if I go around July 28th period, and I have a lease starting on August 1st, can that help me out?

I would love to hear your thoughts and any experiences please
Also, I would love any contact info where I can ask any Canadian cbsa or IRCC official about this rule!!

thank you so much!

Shouldn't be a problem you are a returning student. The concern about new students is that they aren't able to work while you can technically work if you want.

Try to call CBSA and ask them.
+1-204-983-3500
+1-506-636-5064

As per my telephone conversation with them, they only allow 3-4 weeks before the start of our class. Even though you already studied online while overseas, as long as you have not been issued a study permit, same rules apply to us (we have similar situation, completed 2 terms online while overseas)..

I called them again a while ago. She told me anything more than 6 weeks . They will deny.

So i think 5 weeks is not a prob.
