Hi there,
I am a Canadian citizen and my boyfriend is Australian. He has completed his online application to study in Canada through the Sydney embassy. However, because of the strike, we are concerned that it may take an extended period of time for his visa.
I have read that students are not advised to come to Canada on a tourist visa before their student visas are granted because they may either be denied, or if approved, they will have to have their visas inserted into their passport upon arrival in Canada. However, I live close to the American border, so would it be possible for him to come to Canada as a tourist and then leave Canada/reenter through the American border to get his visa inserted into his passport once approved?
