Hi all, I applied at a POE (flew into the airport) and had my SP approved on the spot. I know this option is only available to the US (not sure if it’s both citizens and residents - I’m a citizen) but if anyone has questions about it, feel free to leave me a message.

If you’ve been turned around in Canada when trying to get through the port of entry with a study permit LOI, can you please share which airport and whether you had to pay for your return flight? Thanks

Has anyone successfully applied for and gotten approved for a study permit at the border recently (July - now) from the US?

Hi all, Does anyone have a general idea of what goes in a letter of support from universities during this time? I’m planning to ask my uni for one indicating that my presence is necessary for my studies (which is true) but wondering what in particular I should ask for. Thanks!

Hi all, I’ve been picking up from the forums and IRCC language that study permits won’t be approved until travel is opened up - but I know the US faces a unique situation where those with study permits issued after March 18 are still allowed to travel to Canada for essential purposes (including...

Hi all, Has anyone received an approval for an application filled out after March 18? Not an AIP, but a full approval. Thanks!

Hi all, Very excited to share I received my AIP today (as I see some others have also received) but I thought the two-step processing was only for incomplete applications. I sent my app in full and as I’m in the US I didn’t need to provide anything else (biometrics, police certificate, medical...

Hi all, My financial package was original sent to me attached to my letter of acceptance. Should I: a. Break them up in order to just upload the letter of acceptance under "Letter of Acceptance" and the financial package under "Proof of Means of Financial Support" b. Upload the full document...

Hi all, In the video I watched about how to fill out your application for a study permit, the person said to make sure and fill out every box. If it doesn't apply, write in "N/A," however, since this is an online application, any time I type N/A into a box it gives me an error message. Is it...

Hi all, Quick question. Am I to include every single job I have had over the last ten years in my application? I have read I can include an additional page if necessary, but in total I have had about thirteen different jobs over the last ten years, some freelance projects, some part-time...

Hi all, I’m currently applying for a study permit in Canada (two year degree) as a US citizen. I recently was hired as a remote contractor with an org here in California, and it pays well so I’m hoping to maintain it in Canada. I have a few questions about this: Do I need an extra permit in...

Hi all, Just wondering about the photo requirement. It seems stringent, and I’m not sure how to be so precise about it. Does anyone have tips for this process? I don’t think I can reach out to a professional photographer right now, so it will need to be done at home. Will an iPhone photo...

Hello all, Due to COVID I've been receiving government help on top of a part time job (I'm a US Citizen), and just secured a higher paying job starting July, so by the time I am planning to enter Canada, I will have paid tuition and have the funds necessary. Currently, I only have approximately...
