Will the following reason be considered Non-optional and non-discretionary purpose of travel?

[Sergio4]

Hello everyone. I hope you are in good health. My study permit was approved before 18th March which satisfies the initial step to be exempted from Canada's travel restrictions. I haven't entered Canada and am currently doing classes for Fall semester online from my home country. My program is a 2-year program with an option to finish it earlier.

But if I am to continue my studies next semester from home, I am afraid I will finish 50% of my courses outside Canada deeming me ineligible for PWGP. Can I present this reason to the officers at the port for my travel to be considered non-optional?

I am already studying from a country with shitty internet bandwidth and a huge time zone difference with Canada so I am aware of the other reasons I can present, should my university provide me with a support letter. I thought that the previous reason would seem more concrete to an officer.

Let me know your thoughts.

Yes mail ur college about this ask them for a travel support letter. If they send one, it’ll be easier

Ask for a support letter from your college as not sure CBSA at POE will be interested whether you are going to qualify for or apply for a PGWP. Mainly it is getting past the airline checkin that is the major challenge to get through in first instance so a support letter and your permit issued before March 18 plus valid TRV.

plus of course be prepared to assume still need a 14 day isolation plan which may or may not still be with us for rest of year .

My DLI is a university and they have firmly stated that they will not issue a support letter because they do no support travel until border restrictions are eased.

My DLI is a university and they refused to issue support letter until restrictions are eased. I will wait for updates from IRCC, nothing else to do
