Study Permit Approved - Passport Not Requested

[kazue58]

I unexpectedly received a correspondence letter via GC Key stating my Study Permit was approved after only 2 weeks. I was fully expecting to have to send off my passport, but the letter suggested otherwise, saying I should bring my documents to be checked in Canada by a border officer. Is this normal?!

The study permit itself is only issued when you land in Canada. Are you from a visa exempt or eTa country or already have a visitor visa? If that's the case they would not give you a PPR.
