When can we travel for winter 2021 session?

[Josie13]

My visa application was approved last week, after 7 months ( since March). I was wondering if I would be allowed into Canada in November for January 2021 session.

I think it depends on whether your DLI is on the list or not

 

[Josie13]

Oh..ok..it is. Thanks

I also wonder the same thing. I saw that in one of the IRCC webinar they said students who have enrolled in winter 2021 term have to travel at least 3 weeks before the start day of their program. Is it true? What's your opinion @ohbruh ?

If your DLI is on the list you can travel 3 weeks prior to when your classes begin

If you applied and started studying remotely for Fall 2020 or any prior semester in academic year 2020, you can travel anytime after 20th October 2020. If you are to start in Winter 2021 you can travel maximum upto 3 weeks prior to your start date in January.

If I want to travel before 6 weeks, and I have the valid permit can they prevent my entry?

3 weeks before no earlier. But if your approval is for classes which started september, of course you can go tomorrow.

Yes if you are only due to start January, either you'll be refused boarding or refused entry and told to come back.3 weeks before.

3 weeks before no earlier.

Do you know how strict they are about this? I mean, 3 weeks and 2 days is acceptable?

Discretion of CBSA officer. Why try to not follow rules and take risks? You'll find in this forum accounts of those who went before 3 weeks for fall semester and paid the price of refusal of entry and cost of new plane ticket.

No they should not travel until 3 weeks before.

Is your permit approved and you are studying fall semester, if yes, you can go now. If permit I'd approved and starts January, you can travel 3 weeks before.
