I wanted to relate my Poe experience. I entered Canada via Toronto Pearson although the I'm attending Dal in Halifax. The officers were very friendly and didn't ask questions. I presented our passports and introduction letters from the embassy, together with my admission letter,confirmation of enrollment letter, receipt of first year tuition paid. No questions were asked. He went ahead to print out our study and open work permits. We also applied for SIN at the airport.
Hope this helps someone and safe travels.
