Travelling to Canada while student visa in process

[Utakogirl2013]

Hi

You can travel to Canada; there is nothing wrong with coming here as visitors while another app is processing. You likely would not have problems entering as visitors but remember that entry is entirely up to the CBSA officer at the POE.

Once your study/work permits are approved, you would need to actually leave Canada and re-enter to activate them. You can flagpole at the Canada-US border.

pls how does flagpole process work?

Go to the Canada-US border and get turned around by the US. Your new status will be processed upon re-entry.
