Thanks Imam for sharing this information - it is very helpful to others like me who will be treading your path in a few days.
I have a few questions regarding the port of entry at the Canadian airport -
1. Did the officer go through the documents that you had provided when applying for visa - such as the loan application and the collateral documents for the loan, bank documents etc??
2. Did the officer ask you specifically about the proof of funds?
3. Did you carry any funds with you for the study? If so how did you carry it i.e. bank draft or cash or cheque etc...? And did you have to declare it at the immigration and customs? Any problems you faced, any tips you can provide?

Thanks a lot for your help!!
Regards

1. No
2. No
3. Yes, I carried funds as cash only. It was less the the threshold limit so I was not required to declare it.

1. Till this time, I haven't captured any picture :)
2. When I cam out of immigration office and entered the arrival hall/lounge I felt the cold :p Then when I moved out of the airport everything was looking so bright and clear that I could not believe it. It was like I am dreaming :p It took my nose quite sometime to get use to this clean air.
