Yes you will not face any problem if you have proof of available funds to support yourself. No study permit is required for a program of 6 months or less so you can travel on the current TRV. As you have secured admission to a french language course you can produce the same as proof to CBSA at POE if they ask you why you are travelling early.

You can enter before your course starts. However, you will need to give the border officer proof that you can sustain yourself financially till the University starts, since you cannot work before classes start. I would advise if possible for your sponsor to travel and approximate amount that you think you might need in a bank account that you operate and get the statements from that.

The border officer needs absolute proof that you can afford to live and eat till the college starts. The border officer has all right to refuse you entry to the country and that is a possiblity. It is even a possibility if you get a study permit, to be denied entry to Canada.

I have a strong bank statement and a letter from my aunt which says that I’m going to live with them and she is Canada’s citizen, and also a good reason for coming early.
What do you think v would be any problem?

If you have that letter then it should not be a problem. Do note that the border officer has discretion in deciding entry to Canada. If you have someone that is going to take care of you then that should be proof enough. However, no one can guarantee anything, unfortunately.

Thank you for your respond.
Do I need another CAQ or not ? The program is only 8 weeks but it’s full time (25 hours per week) .

 

[selvakk]

No, CAQ is not required.

 

[Alireza77]

No, CAQ is not required.

Should I inform cic before I go? Should I tell them that I want take this program?

I am not sure how you would go about that

 

[Alireza77]

I am not sure how you would go about that

What do you mean? Do you mean about my French course that I want take?

I am not sure how you would tell CIC, you don't need a study permit or CAQ. You just need a TRV which you already have. Just get all your financial proofs so that you can prove to the border officer that you have finances from the date you enter Canada till the date of your University or College classes starting.
