Hi Guys,

Have a question....for all those who landed in Canada on a study permit...do the officers inspect your luggage?

I will be flying in the first week of August (Inshallah) and want to know if there is any inspection of luggage or they just believe whatever you declare on the declaration form

What is the reason for asking this? If you are not taking anything that is unacceptable, everything is fine with them and you as well.

well carry on luggage is inspected and checked in luggage is inspected too without u knowing(sometimes they put a note in ur bag it was opened). u can tell this by if u lock ur luggage they sometimes break ur locks if not TSA approved locks.
so yes anything can be inspected doesnt matter ur traveling under study visa or anyother visa.
