How early show you come to canada as an international student?

[Reggae girl]

Just read it should be more than a month. I book my ticket for 24 July. My classes start in September 6. Which is 6 weeks in total. Would that be a problem?
My reason for travelling so early is because I want to settle and know my whereabouts before school starts.

There is no specific earliest date you can travel; however, a CBSA officer may have concerns if you are travelling several months before you begin your studies. Arriving up to 6 weeks before you begin studies should be considered reasonable if you are able to explain your reasons why.

Okay thank you

4 weeks is usually the ideal recommended time. So you are 2 weeks earlier than recommended but if you have a valid reason it should be fine
