Two things I wanna ask -
1. If my application is still being processed and I defer my admission, do I need to let the visa office know??
I had to defer to April 2018 because the visa took longer than I anticipated, however, my application still says January 2018 and it hasn't been approved yet.

2. My school is in Vancouver. However, the flight price there is about 2000CAD on average. Instead, I'd like to buy a ticket to Calgary for 850CAD and then a second ticket to Vancouver from Calgary for 150CAD which, together, is half the price of the direct flight to Vancouver.
Can I do this?? Keeping in mind that its my first time in Canada and I'm going as an international student. I know I have to get a ''study permit'' at the airport with something called a Port-Of-Entry Letter (not sure what that is).
Im not sure what I should do. If I get the two separate tickets, I'll have to pick up my own luggage from the Calgary airport and THEN check it into the flight to Vancouver. Will I be able to do this without an official study permit?? Omg. I don't know what to do. Help please!

Yes u can go to Calgary first which is where u will get ur study permit the flight from Calgary to Vancouver will be a domestic flight.
two things to keep in mind
1. Before you leave Calgary make sure u have the study permit.
2.Yes if u book separate flights u might have to pick up baggage. If u book flight separately u may need to pay baggage fees $30 per bag or so depending on airlines u go with. Ur flight Calgary to Vancouver will become a domestic flight.
Once u get down at Calgary u go to the customs and immigration tell them its ur first time in canada and u need a study permit. they will then direct u to a back room where they will process ur study permit. somewhere is between u may be asked to pick up ur baggage.
Once u get study permit u will have to go to ur next flight.

Another thing ti keep in mind is to have enough time between two flights so make sure u have atleast 3-4hrs in between two flights just to be safe. normally 2 hrs is more then sufficient but since its ur first time no harm in having more time
